About

My healing journey began when I was just 24, after losing someone close to me. That loss triggered severe depression and brought back deeply painful memories from childhood trauma. I remember vividly how overwhelming the feelings were—grief, shame, guilt, chronic pain, and dissociation that showed up as C-PTSD (complex PTSD).

I truly understand how exhausting and isolating
unresolved trauma can feel.

Then, about 15 years ago, after several traumatic burglaries and gunpoint attacks in three different countries, I faced intense and paralysing PTSD symptoms that landed me in the emergency room. I experienced relentless panic attacks, vivid flashbacks, a constant fear of dying and anxiety so severe that even small noises
felt threatening.

At my lowest point, I had to stay with a friend for a week because I couldn’t be alone at night, and even sleeping required keeping all the lights on.

What Worked

After six months of talk therapy and treatments that barely eased my symptoms, I finally discovered something that worked—a powerful combination of EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), Matrix Reimprinting, TRE® (Tension and Trauma Release Exercises), and calming breathing techniques. These practical, effective methods allowed me to calm my nervous system, regain control, and begin genuinely healing.

PTSD will change the course of my life, lead me to do
some in-depth work and transformation, and reorient my career path.

Through Energy Psychology sessions, I revisited my own past childhood traumas with compassion, learned to slow down and observe my feelings instead of being overwhelmed by them.

And I began to fully understand that the cumulative effect of unresolved trauma led me to my breaking point.

What I’ve learnt

But I’ve learned that while we can’t change what happened to us, we can change how we see it—and, in doing so, we can create new, more empowering memories.

This means trauma doesn’t have to define us.

What was learned in pain can also be unlearned through care and the right tools. Each challenge I faced taught me something and brought deeper peace and awareness into my life.

My PTSD episodes changed the course of my life. They led me to do some in-depth work, transform myself, and reorient my career path.

I found meaning in the challenges I faced as I learned how to weave together mind-body therapies that brought awareness, release, and a sense of wholeness I didn’t think was possible.

So, when you tell me how heavy your trauma feels, how unsafe and vulnerable it can make you, I truly understand and hear you. I see you. And I also know—because I’ve been there—that you can feel free, light, and whole again. It is possible.

My own journey and growth continue through training, courses, and regular supervision with a brilliant Gestalt therapist so I can show up fully for the people I support.
