Being Health Questions
What should a new client know about working with you?
I bring deep listening and intention to my client sessions, but as a relational therapist I also believe in bringing openness, realness and humor. I am originally from the UK so I have a British accent.
Do you have experience working with any specific types of patients?
I have experience working with patients with a history of childhood trauma, whether big T or little t.
What do you find most interesting about Being Health's integrated care model?
As someone who has themselves struggled with chronic health conditions in the past I know first-hand how entwined the mind and body are. In my opinion it is impossible to consider one without the other.
What’s your favorite thing to do for self care?
A good long bath with peaceful music and lavender essential oil, for multi-sensory nervous-system rebalancing.
