Somatic Experiencing in New Zealand

I am a registered counsellor and trained educational psychologist with 14 years of experience supporting individuals of all ages. I work collaboratively to help clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My approach is integrative and tailored to each person’s needs, drawing from psychotherapy, CBT, EMDR, ACT, and Narrative Therapy. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can feel heard, understood, and supported, and often see meaningful improvements aft

Imagine gaining clarity, releasing the patterns and energies keeping you stuck, and stepping into a life of inner peace, joy, and alignment with your multidimensional being. This is your invitation to expand beyond the surface and heal on every level—body, mind, and soul.

I am a quantum energy healer and somatic therapist, here to help you clear the haze, reconnect with your higher vision, and find peace and clarity.
