“Trauma is a psychic wound that hardens you psychologically that then interferes with your ability to grow and develop. It pains you and now you’re acting out of pain. It induces fear and now you’re acting out of fear. The essence of trauma is disconnection from ourselves. Trauma is not terrible things that happen from…

The autonomic nervous system is a component of the peripheral nervous system that regulates involuntary physiologic processes including heart rate, blood pressure, respiration, digestion, and sexual arousal. It contains three anatomically distinct divisions: sympathetic, parasympathetic, and enteric. The sympathetic nervous system is our UPPER. It’s more commonly known as our fight or flight response. When we…

Neurogenic shaking… What is this? Essentially, this is how we discharge the stress/pain energy induced within the nervous system and neuroendocrine system after experiencing a traumatic event that caused internal stress and a “shock to the system” Dr. PeterLevine (the founder of Somatic Experiencing) was inspired to study stress on the animal nervous system when…

Grief is a dense emotion and runs so deep. It triggers abandonment, a feeling of hopelessness and loneliness, spiralling into feeling frozen in time and a lack of motivation or willpower for life. Usually we don’t want to face the pain of loss, so we cognitively dissociate or numb out from it. We love so…

Here is my coaching client Siobhan explaining how a traumatic imprint from childhood informed her perceptions, beliefs, feelings and thoughts, behaviours, which embedded into her nervous system, limbic system, biochemistry and gene expression, and hardwired into her neural matrix. She lived in chronic cycles of survival her whole life, which we have been actively rewiring…

The science shows that we’re “bottom-up” beings. We are embodied electricity and frequency 80% of the informational electrical impulses and transmitted messages being signalled through our vagus nerve are from the body to the brain through the gut-brain axis. Only 20% are signalled from the brain to the body. The explicit and declarative memory centre…

Traumatic events are impossible to put into words, as stated by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, the author of best selling book “the body knows the score” This is because during experiences of trauma, Broca’s area of the brain, which is the part responsible for speech production, shuts down, compromising our ability to describe how…

Some signs of dissociation in terms of what it looks, sounds and feels like: 1) ContradictionWords don’t match with behaviours and actions. There’s incoherence between brain and body. Its also true that their neurodevelopmental patterns and attachment system is attempting to connect for comfort, however there is a huge layer of safety as their defense…

Tina is moving into month 9 of her somatic healing journey. She has been working with me at a coaching capacity since September, on my higher awakening programme. She has been actively healing and rewiring her nervous system, and clearing the imprints of pain, trauma, rejection, self doubt, from her neural pathway, under my guidance…

My client Amy in a whole body Neogenic Release, which persisted for 35 minutes. She has been on my coaching programme since September last year and has made transformative internal transitions and changes… her behaviours, thoughts, beliefs, awareness, feelings, actions, words have all changed in accordance with healing her neuroceptive pathway. She is becoming a…

You’ve tried it all, cognitive therapies, CBT, counselling, psychotherapy, yet you are still reliving and experiencing the same cyclical patterns of emotions, feelings, sensations, numbness, bodily tightness, thoughts… You’ve tried other portals… mindfulness, journaling, trying to just think positive, energy work (reiki, rahanni, angelic, plant med) You know on a mind level, and consciously want…

Ixchel initially began working with me, on my coaching programme, in March 2022 to work through various neurodevelopmental patterns and emotional woundings that were causing regular anxiety attacks and cycles of depression We were also preparing her nervous system, mind and body for a life changing operation that was just around the corner… She was…

At the core of my work is… To create a neurobiology of safety and security To take a journey into the autonomic nervous system and learn to connect with the language, cognition and narratives of the body To create an embodied awareness, meaning, an expansive inner sense of self that feels connected, safe and supportive…

Your body will tell you what previous traumas need to be retraced, recalled and resolved The body doesn’t speak words as a way of remembering the past. It speaks implicitly, non verbally, through various sensory cues and electrical impulses It communicates through tightening, bracing, collapsing, withdrawing, numbing, dissociating, freezing…. Movements, sensations, pain, facial expressions, tone…

Are you living in cyclical states of stress, panic and anxiety? Is your neurobiological and neuroceptive pathway conditioned to states of fear? Is your nervous system programmed to safety or survival response? Is your body in a cycle of producing fear proteins to “keep you safe”? Are you always on the go and struggle to…

My somatic work is build on the foundations of Polyvagal theory, a proven neuroscientific approach to healing and retaining the autonomic nervous system and unconscious mind (the body). The shaking, swaying and neural tremoring you see in footage of my clients is induced by the nervous system. It is extremely safe, and is induced neural…

Everyone! Somatic literally means working with the body, as opposed to the mind. 80% of your body’s signals are transmitted neurally to the CNS and brain from the peripheral nervous system and body. Only 20% is transmitted from the brain down. The brain is more of a logistics warehouse, our computer and projection screen. The…

This statement is absolutely TRUE, and is based on the foundations of neuroscience and polyvagal theory You cannot argue science, as it is tangible, factual and supported by concrete evidence Do you care for your nervous system and internal energy system? Are you in cyclical states of stress response, fight and flight energy streams? Are…

1) Brain Architecture Our prefrontal cortex (front of the brain, used for logical thinking and cognitive behaviour) corpus callosum (a thick bundle of nerve fibres that ensures both sides of the brain, left and right, communicate and send signals to each other) and hippocampus (memory and learning centre) shrink in size and capacity, while the…

This is what it looks like when the energy behind trauma, pain and stress is being discharged from the autonomic nervous system, somatic system and body. The energy here I refer to includes glucocorticoids (cortisol, cortisone) and catecholamines (adrenaline, noradrenaline, dopamine). Neurogenic shaking and tremoring, which you see here, happens when a trauma imprinted nervous…
