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 collaborate with Gabor Maté and Sat Dharam Kaur, using Compassionate Inquiry as a tool to heal trauma.

My work integrates evidence-based therapeutic modalities - including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing (SE), EMDR, and Compassionate Inquiry - all grounded in the neuroscience of trauma, nervous system physiology, and relational psychotherapy.

My practice also includes Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE), a body-based approach that supports the nervous system's natural capacity to release stress through gentle neurogenic tremors. When introduced slowly, safely, and within a supportive therapeutic environment, these simple exercises help the body unwind long-held tension and move from states of dysregulation toward greater stability and ease.

Rather than focusing on insight alone, my practice goes deeper uncovering how stress and trauma live in the body. Through nervous system regulation and somatic healing, I help clients get to the root of intrusive thoughts and create the conditions where healing can unfold naturally and sustainably.

I specialise in women's health, helping women of all ages reconnect with their bodies, release what no longer serves them, and heal from within. Drawing from lived experience, I take a holistic, 360° approach — exploring every layer involved in uncovering the blocks that hold us back and rediscovering our true, authentic selves through a state of regulation.
