121 somatic therapy
Normalising what it is to feel human, dissolving shame & rebuilding compassion through trauma healing.
There are times in our life where we have had enough of the way we are living and the systems that we are operating from
Are you ready to end the relationship with …
Self-judgment, constant pleasing, and making choices that oppose what you desire for yourself?
Do you want to have the confidence and trust to advocate for the life you want to live?
Do you want to be able to rely on yourself and the resources within, so you can create a life of purpose and fulfilment?
Do you want to make intentional choices that are in alignment with your needs, rather than automatic and auto-pilot reactions that don’t support you?
Do you want to live with healthy boundaries that allow you to feel safe, supported, respected and honour the life you want to lead?
Do you want to build a life that is centred around what’s important, exciting and nourishing to you?
If you do, you’re in the right place.
I am here to offer you a space where you can enter into a life that supports your humanness and the innate impulse of life energy that moves you towards growth, connection and expansion.
And this kind of life, means that you can bring more of your authentic nature into all of your relationships and all that you engage with in this life.
You miss important messages from the body because you’re fast to distract yourself and ‘check out’ of feeling the discomfort and intensity.
You don’t want to do that anymore. You’ve witnessed other women, step into an unmistakeable self-reliant, self-trusting, compassionate relationship with themselves and you want that too.
IF YOU’VE ARRIVED HERE, I IMAGINE THAT …
No doubt you’ve already come a long way from where you were and you’ve been working really hard to create new habits for yourself (I’m proud of you !!) but you’re frustrated that many patterns are still persistent.
You still have this inner sense of stuckness. You feel like there is still ‘something’ between how your life is feeling now and how you’d like it to feel.
You’re not allowing your body to lead & letting it be the guiding force for the choices you make for yourself and how you live and lead.
You are reliable and always there for those around you, but when it comes to you needing support you find it hard to reach out and ask.
You have the motivation and drive to create a beautiful life for yourself, but you find it really difficult to stay consistent with the things that support you.
LET’S WORK TOGETHER
121 SOMATIC THERAPY & EMBODIED TRAUMA HEALING
I could say that the life you desire is on the other side of trauma healing, but that would be an unethical marketing tactic and frankly, untrue. I don’t believe the healing journey has an ending, I don’t believe we can or even need to ‘heal it all’. I believe the journey of healing is an approach to life. So what I will say, is that the life you desire is one that is nervous system lead and one that approaches and works with your unprocessed trauma. It is this approach towards yourself that creates a new way of living that allows you to be the leader of your life.
The direction we take? We turn towards the body & we let the body lead

SOMATIC SESSIONS
A series of sessions to explore and connect with your body’s intelligence through bringing conscious awareness to felt sensations so you can process past trauma and make space for the innate healing mechanisms to come online and guide your body into what it needs to do to move through the emotional, psychological and physical challenges you may be experiencing.
You desire a deeper sense of connection to your own inner compass and internal guidance - one where you are more trusting in your decisions and choices.
You want to increase your feeling of aliveness and vitality.
You want to feel a deeper love and appreciation for your body - one that is free from shame.
You’d like to find freedom from repeating patterns and conditioned ways of thinking and living.
You’re not in a position to commit to 3 or 6 months together.
-
Each session begins with setting an intention. Some examples of intentions are; Wanting to experience more confidence, freedom from anxiety, wanting more sex, to be able to say what you really mean & feel, making a decision around leaving a job, creating more time for yourself or to feel less stress. The intention can be anything that you need it to be and we allow the body to unfold and reveal what we need to acknowledge and work with in order to move beyond some of the barriers you may be facing.
I predominantly use a modality called Focalizing within these sessions
Focalizing is a somatic healing approach that works with the innate intelligence of the body to support you in transforming your life in a way that feels nourishing. The body is constantly communicating through signals and sensations - often, we ignore and distract ourselves from feeling and experiencing this communication. What we often do not realise is that these signals are a roadmap to our healing. When given the space and time, through conscious awareness of tending to the body, these signals guide us into experiencing the awakening of the bodies healing capabilities which supports the body in being able to release stored trauma, the stories held within the body, the emotions that have been suppressed and the tension of many years of anxiety.
This is a hugely empowering process as it allows you to connect deeply to your body, listen with compassion, find inner strength, hold complex emotions and find a pathway to moving forward.

You have a very human need, to be welcomed, accepted, witnessed and loved.
This process is all about working with what’s here for you - what’s progress for one person will be entirely different to what’s progress to you. However, there are some common experiences gained through this work.
THROUGH WORKING THROUGH THIS PROCESS I can support YOU TO…
Know and believe that nothing is ‘wrong’ with you. You are perfect as you are and your body is working tirelessly to keep you safe and protected.
Trust yourself and your own inner guide so you can stop giving a F about what others think, stop being guided by their beliefs and live on your own terms.
Create a compassionate and loving relationship with yourself and connect with things that matter the most to you.
Regain self-agency so that you get to be the one making the decisions and choices in your life.
Have the understanding of your mind, body & nervous system, its responses and how to regulate yourself when things get difficult and overwhelming
Have a mindful and guilt free relationship with food.
Feel pleasure when touching, moving & connecting to your body.
Have the confidence to express your voice & needs.
Set boundaries which allow you to live in line with what you value and believe in.
I believe you have landed in this space as there is already a seed of belief within you that there is another way. A belief that you can transform from the stuck-ness and back into your true expression where peace, love & connection exists.
“Working with Alex has been utter wild magic.”
Alex has a special talent for making you feel safe enough to explore the darkest corners of yourself. She holds space without judgment and nurtures you with her presence. Her work and understanding of the body is phenomenal.”
STEVIE
“So far working with Alex has been instrumental in progressing my journey.”
It's almost like all the bits I've been juggling before are falling in to place. That there is space being created to delve into the heaviness, hold it and feel ok. Knowing there is so much more to come and feeling excited by that. Alex has incredible healing qualities, knowledge and experience which creates sacred safety when working with her... And to be able to offer that online which I think is even more powerful. 💜

My love, I feel that you already know that this may be one of the very reasons that you need and want to engage in this work - to give time to you. I create every programme specifically for that person, so there will be as much or as little as you need in there. We take a look at your schedule and create something that is manageable for you to engage in.

You will discover how to meet yourself where you are at this very moment. You will discover how to be the grounding support for yourself that you’ve been longing for. You will learn about the workings of your nervous system and how that can empower how you move through life. You will be able to notice the current state of your nervous system and consciously choose ways to support yourself into moving from a place of dysregulation and disconnection into safety and connection.

Somatic comes from the Greek word Soma, which means ‘of the body’ or ‘the living body’. So, through inquiring into the soma (the living body) we are able to explore what exists within us.
Including the relationship between our bodies and the world we live in and how we inhabit and exist in both. We can uncover information around our habits, self belief, self image, decisions we make, behaviours we engage in and our neurological patterning. Somatic exploration offers us a space to come into our embodiment with curiosity, to sense, feel and be with what arises within us moment to moment.

I don’t work with anyone who I feel I can’t support - that is not my jam and I will let you know that on our first point of connection. The work that I offer works. However, it is your sole responsibility to engage with and do the work. I know that that's where so many people find it challenging - and that’s also why I place a lot of focus on tending to your response-ability and your holding space for yourself. When you learn how to hold space for yourself and all that’s present you begin to be able to engage with and continue with those things that really provide you with support.
