But with the professional work aside, I am first and foremost a human who has experienced complex trauma, childhood trauma and chronic health challenges.

In the midst of my own journey I discovered just how possible it is to experience change and to cultivate a new relationship with our bodies and the world around us. Through learning the language of my body and how symptoms are messages, small changes began to show up. It was through the consistent practice of being more IN my body rather than DOING things to FIX my body that transformation slowly began to unravel.
Over the years, what I’ve come to know is that our bodies are brilliant and capable and no matter where you are on your path: you make sense.

Hi! I’m Georgia, a dedicated Somatic Trauma Practitioner, yoga instructor, energy healer, personal trainer and so much more! My mission is to empower you to reconnect with your body’s innate wisdom. I’m passionate about helping you understand the challenges of feeling trapped in discomfort. Through somatic practices I help you release trauma and nurture the subconscious mind so you can process your emotions effectively. I’m a true believer that health is not just about taking care of just the physical body; It’s about tapping into your body’s intelligence for healing, creating harmony between your physical, emotional, and spiritual selves, cultivating self-love, self-care, and awareness for sustained well-being. As an ex ballerina and bodybuilder, for the longest time I thought being healthy was about exercising, consuming nutrient dense high quality foods and taking supplements and herbs, which I still do all these things but my approach after being in the health industry for over 10 years as a wellness coach and bodybuilder has changed. Without addressing the body’s needs, maintaining a healthy frequency and releasing trauma from the body, lasting healing remains elusive. If you enjoy my practices send me a message on instagram, let’s connect!

I hold space for you and your healing parts.
Utilizing Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Somatic based practices my intention is to welcome whatever is present with compassion and curiosity. I take a lean-in approach as opposed to a fixing approach. How can we hold space for all of you without trying to force anything. And realizing that everything we do has its own inner wisdom to learn from and support.
I hold dearly the mind-body connection in the healing process of both mental and physical ailments. As a Craniosacral Therapist, I understand that holding space for healing is not a mental practice, but a body practice.
