Chronic stress often lingers in the body long after the original stressors are gone — keeping you stuck in tension, fatigue, or overwhelm.
The Shift: From Fear to Freedom is a concise, self-paced course that helps you understand what chronic stress really is and why it’s so hard to break out of. You’ll learn a powerful, guided exercise designed to shift your nervous system out of stress and into a state of calm. This isn’t about forcing relaxation — it’s about supporting real change from the inside out.

About The Session
With a Master’s in Psychology and a lived journey of healing from chronic fatigue and complex mental health challenges, I integrate scientific expertise with somatic therapy, hypnotherapy, and intuitive energy work to access core issues —facilitating tangible, lasting change from the very first session.
When You’re Ready for Something to Shift
When you commit to your healing journey, you’re choosing to reclaim your energy and sense of wholeness. The price of inaction can be high—keeping you trapped in cycles that weigh on your mind, body, and spirit.

My Approach
Everything I offer comes from what I’ve studied and lived. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all healing. I believe in giving you tools, insight, and support so that you can truly understand yourself — and begin to feel more whole, alive, and in sync.

Investing in your healing is a way to move forward and create space for growth. While it can feel challenging to take that step, the cost of staying stuck in chronic stress or overwhelm often impacts your energy, joy, and well-being far more.

FAQ
-
Somatic work is a body-centered approach to healing that helps you reconnect with your physical self, calm the nervous system, and release emotions stored in the body. Many of us live in a constant state of stress or disconnection — especially after burnout, trauma, or chronic illness.
In our sessions, I use gentle, accessible practices I’ve found deeply supportive in my own recovery from chronic fatigue. These include guided awareness and nervous system regulation techniques — all designed to help you feel safer, more grounded, and fully present in your body again.
-
Hypnotherapy is a collaborative process that guides you into a calm, focused state — similar to a daydream or deep relaxation. You’re fully aware and in control the entire time. From this state, we can gently access the subconscious mind — the part of you that holds deep-rooted beliefs, habits, and emotional patterns.
This isn’t about being “hypnotized” or losing control. It’s about creating the right conditions for insight, healing, and transformation. Through imagery, gentle suggestion, and inner exploration, we begin to shift what’s been keeping you stuck — so new perspectives and possibilities can emerge.
-
No — while I’m trained in psychology and bring a deep understanding of the mind to my work, what I offer is not traditional talk therapy. I work as a psychological coach, combining intuitive pattern recognition with somatic practices, hypnotherapy-inspired techniques, and energy work to support emotional healing and self-awareness.
This approach is more integrative and experiential than conventional therapy — it’s about tuning into both mind and body to create lasting shifts, rather than only talking things through.
Please note: This work is not a substitute for psychotherapy, psychiatric care, or medical treatment. If you’re in crisis or need clinical mental health support, I encourage you to seek help from a licensed mental health professional.

The number of sessions varies depending on your unique situation and goals. We’ll discuss this together during our introductory call to find the best approach for you.
My work goes deep and supports lasting transformation, which often requires space and time to integrate between sessions. Rather than weekly appointments, sessions are typically spread out over weeks or months to allow you to fully absorb and apply what we explore. Some people find profound shifts in just a few sessions, while others prefer ongoing support over time.
