Somatic Coach & Nervous System Regulation Practitioner

About me

Do you feel stressed, overwhelmed or constantly “on”? Perhaps you find it difficult to switch off, get caught in overthinking, or feel disconnected from yourself despite knowing what you need to do.

I help women reconnect with their bodies and develop practical ways to support their nervous system through somatic coaching, HeartMath and embodiment.

Rather than relying only on thinking and talking, we bring the body into the coaching process. Through gentle practices, awareness and reflective coaching, you can begin to notice your patterns, reconnect with yourself and develop greater calm, clarity and self-trust.

My approach may be particularly helpful if you're navigating stress, overwhelm, a period of change, career uncertainty or simply feeling that you've lost touch with what you need.

With over 15 years of corporate experience, including 10 years in management and coaching at Apple, I also understand the pressures that can come with a busy and demanding life.

Curious about experiencing this approach?I offer a complimentary 45-minute Somatic Taster Session for women who are considering 1:1 coaching and would like to experience my approach before deciding whether working together feels right.
