Lasting change
not quick fixes

You don’t have to keep pushing through

Support for the patterns that keep showing up.

You may have tried to understand, manage or fix what’s happening, but something still feels stuck.

Persistent pain, stress, overwhelm or the effects of past experiences can involve more than one part of us.

Together, we can explore what is happening in your body, nervous system, emotions and patterns of protection, gently and at a pace that feels manageable.

◉

Persistent pain

Pain, tension or symptoms that have not fully resolved with other approaches.

↻

Stress & overwhelm

Feeling on edge, exhausted, braced, unable to switch off or settle.

◇

Trauma & past experiences

Old experiences still influencing your body, emotions or relationships.

⌁

Feeling stuck

You understand what is happening intellectually, but change still feels out of reach.

Meet Natasha

Support that works with your body, not against it.

I’m Natasha, a Somatic Trauma Therapist and Bodywork Practitioner. I’ve been working professionally with the body since 2011. My work has evolved over time to bring together bodywork, nervous-system support, trauma therapy and embodied approaches.

You don’t need to know which approach you need. The work is shaped around you, your experiences, your nervous system, your capacity and what feels most important now.

How we work

An Integrated Approach

I draw on Somatic EMDR, Embodied Processing, Somatic parts and attachment-informed approaches, Neuro Affective Touch and Myofascial Bodywork, depending on what is most supportive for you.

Sometimes we need to build resources and capacity. Sometimes we need to understand the story or notice what’s happening in the body. And sometimes we’re ready to process what the nervous system still seems to experience as now.
The work can move between all of this.

Different routes into the same aim:
More safety, connection, choice and freedom in your body and life.
