Trauma-informed psychotherapy rooted in nervous system regulation and somatic healing for women
Feel to heal
Hi I’m Annette,
I’m a Registered Psychotherapist with a background in Kinesiology, Iyengar yoga and advanced training in nervous system–led and somatic psychotherapy. I work in collaboration with Gabor Mate and Sat Dharam Kaur using compassionate inquiry as a tool to heal trauma.
My work integrates evidence-based approaches including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing (SE), EMDR, and Compassionate Inquiry, grounded in neuroscience and physiology.
Rather than focusing on insight alone, my practice goes deeper to uncover how stress and trauma live in the body. Through nervous system regulation and somatic healing, I help my patients get to the root sensations of the intrusive thoughts and create conditions where healing can unfold naturally and sustainably for long-term recovery.
I specialize in women’s health, helping women of all ages feel within their bodies to let go and find a place where they heal from within. Coming from lived experience, I take a 360 approach to incorporate all the layers involved in discovering the blockers holding us back and uncovering our true authentic self through a state of regulation.
