Psychotherapy & Somatic Healing
finding space for healing, embodiment and reconnection
Nelson, Aotearoa.
Welcome
When we’ve lived through stress, overwhelm, or trauma, it can feel as though the body and mind are disconnected. Parts of you may have gone quiet to help you survive. Healing begins by gently listening to what your body has been holding - and remembering that safety, connection, and aliveness are possible again.
I’m Jen. I offer trauma-informed psychotherapy and trauma-sensitive yoga to support healing, embodiment and reconnection. My approach is intuitive, somatic and relational, grounded in the belief that your body carries its own wisdom and capacity for healing.
Together, we create a compassionate and grounded space to notice, feel, and reconnect - with your body, your inner knowing and your sense of self.
My work is shaped by both professional training and my own lived experience of how trauma can live in the body. I know how tender and powerful it can be to return to yourself - not through fixing or striving, but through presence, curiosity, and care.
“Learning to inhabit my body with safety, curiosity, and compassion has been life-changing. I’ve gone from feeling disconnected to feeling present, empowered, and at home in myself. I built trust with my body piece by piece, breath by breath — something I didn’t know was possible.”

Services
Psychotherapy & EMDR
I offer individual psychotherapy sessions to support anxiety, depression, trauma (including PTSD, complex and developmental trauma), persistent pain, chronic fatigue, and insomnia.
Together, we create space to gently listen to the stories held in both words and the body — exploring thoughts, emotions, sensations, and nervous system responses with curiosity and care. This work can support greater awareness, healing, and personal transformation.
Group Programs
I offer ACC Sensitive Claims trauma-sensitive yoga group programs that integrate choice-based mindful movement, breath, and embodied awareness in a safe and supportive environment.
These groups are designed to cultivate empowerment, nervous system regulation, self-awareness, and reconnection with the body and self.

A personalised approach to healing
Our experiences live not only in the mind, but in the body and nervous system too. Sometimes, in order to survive, parts of us adapt by becoming quiet, disconnected, or overwhelmed.
Healing begins by creating safety and gently turning toward what has been held within.
My work integrates trauma-informed psychotherapy, EMDR, trauma-sensitive yoga, and somatic practice to support healing in a way that honours the whole person — mind, body, emotions, and spirit.
Together, we move at your pace, creating space for greater awareness, connection, and a more grounded relationship with yourself.
