Hi, I’m Chelsea — a trauma-informed somatic therapist.

I didn’t come to this work because I had life figured out. I came to it because I knew what it was like to live with deep emotional pain — the kind that feels overwhelming, confusing, and hard to put into words.

In my early twenties, I found myself stuck in cycles of anxiety, depression, burnout, disordered eating, and addiction. For a long time, I tried to fix myself or push uncomfortable feelings away. Everything began to change when I learned how to recognise what I was feeling, how to feel it safely in my body, and how to stay with myself in hard moments rather than shutting down or pushing through.

I also lost someone very close to me to suicide as a child. That experience shaped me deeply and quietly informed my devotion to understanding emotional pain — and how compassion, safety, and connection are integral to healing it.

Somatic therapy gently brought me back to myself. By including both mind and body in the healing process, I experienced a level of self-acceptance and clarity I hadn’t known before. Over time, my own healing journey grew into professional training, and now into work I feel deeply honoured to offer.

My sessions provide a grounded, supportive space to experience your emotions and sensations without judgement or shame. Together, we slow things down so what’s been held in the body can be felt, understood, and integrated — allowing clarity and choice to emerge naturally.
