I didn’t arrive at this work through theory alone.
I arrived here through my body.
Welcome.
I know the power of this work because I’ve walked the path myself.
Beyond titles and roles, I’m someone deeply committed to living in integrity with my body, my heart, and the deeper cyclical rhythms that shape us. My life and my work have been shaped by a devotion to unraveling inherited patterns, restoring connection to myself, and choosing a way of living that feels honest and alive, even when it’s not easy.
This path hasn’t been linear, and it hasn’t been quick. Like the women I work with, I know that real change doesn’t arrive overnight. It unfolds through commitment, presence, and the quiet knowing that something different is possible. This isn’t a destination I’ve reached, but a returning.
What shaped me as both a woman and a practitioner, was an experience of sexual trauma and the ending of an emotionally abusive relationship. Two days after the assault, I walked into my first somatic therapy session. I remember opening the door, sitting down on the mat, and knowing only one thing: I did not want this experience to define me.
In that first session, I felt nothing. I was deeply numb, dissociated from my body and from myself. But I stayed. I brought gentle attention to what was there even when what was there felt like a vast land of nothing. That session became both an ending and a beginning. It was the moment the course of my life quietly, irrevocably changed.
Before that, I was highly functional and deeply disconnected. The embodiment of hyper-independent something I had dressed up as self-love. My nervous system lived in fight or flight. I struggled to set boundaries, felt lonely and confused, and kept pushing forward, convincing myself I was “doing the work,” while remaining far from my body.
For a year, I showed up every other week to breath work, somatic therapy, and bodywork. Not with a plan, and not with answers but with curiosity, trust and willingness to meet myself. Even as a trained psychotherapist, I couldn’t intellectualise my way through the imprints trauma had left behind. I had to feel. I had to listen. I had to let my body lead.
This became my baptism by fire. Not a single moment, but a slow initiation through the body that changed how I understood healing, safety, and myself.
Slowly, I began to return home to myself.
Slowly I found Reverence.
I met my anger, my rage, my grief, my despair, my joy, my aliveness. I learned how to move, to express, and to inhabit my sweet body for the first time. I had to re-evaluate my nervous system health and patterns of safety, my relationships, my attachments. I had to feel my core deepest wounds, tend to my inner chid and take radical responsibility, noticing metaphorically where I was ‘running into the wall’ even when it hurt. I had to change the way I was living after burning out. I had to figure my way back because I deserved to, even if there was no path carved out for me.
So I kept showing up and with the support of loving therapeutic relationships, something softened. The masks fell away. I was seen in my most confusing, painful, messy moments and met with acceptance. Being held in that way taught me how to hold myself and others with true compassion and care.
This lived experience now underpins how I work and it’s shaped everything I offer.
Every modality I work with now is one I have received myself. I entered sexuality and pleasure work because I felt numb and confused.
I received internal de-armouring because my pelvis and fascia held imprints that left me shut down.
I committed to nervous system work because my life demanded a different pace.
I immersed myself in somatic and trauma-release breath work because I did not want my heart and body to remain closed after my experiences.
I learned to live and work in honour of the cyclical nature of the female body.
I spent countless hours in bodywork, allowing tension to melt and my body to learn, slowly, that it was safe again.
I’ve experienced a kundalini awakening which energetically opened my body on a whole other level.
I’ve dissolved into grief, danced to the element of chaos which brought me to my knees, felt the longing in my heart for love, roared my rage. I felt ecstasy, bliss and love that brings tears to my eyes and embodied moments that felt like trancy psychedelic trips.
This journey has opened my body to so much aliveness, life force energy and trust. It’s given me so much capacity to be with all the textures of myself and the lived human experience.
How wonderful to access all this in this body. This flesh, This lifetime.
Reverence was born from this lived devotion.
It is not a method designed from theory alone, but an expression of how the layers interlink and unlock a deeper sense of somatic healing. Today, I live and work from a place of embodied integrity and authenticity. I feel at home in my body. Safe in my sexuality. Rooted in my work. Guided by purpose rather than force.
And I can say, my experiences definitely don’t define me but they have shaped the woman I have become, the work I do and the spaces I now hold.
