I am a Somatic Experiencing® practitioner, yoga therapist, and founder of Swara Yoga School, with over 20 years of experience teaching and supporting people through body-based practices. My sessions centre on Somatic Experiencing®, a body-oriented approach to working with stress and trauma that explores how these experiences affect the nervous system. Through gentle attention to sensation, movement, and the body’s responses, I support people navigating overwhelm, persistent tension, and periods of change—especially when they understand what they’re experiencing but still find it difficult to rest, feel settled, or respond differently. My approach is thoughtful and collaborative, working at each person’s pace to build greater capacity for rest, regulation, and choice in everyday life.
