Who I am and who I am not
I want you to know exactly who you are working with
I am not
A counsellor or psychotherapist
A trauma therapist
A somatic bodywork practitioner
If you are working with deep trauma, a clinical diagnosis, or a mental health condition that needs specialist support, I would gently and warmly encourage you to work alongside a registered professional. HELD is not a substitute for that kind of care.
What I am
Ten years of deep study in Pikler, and Dance with Me in the Heart
An attachment mentor
A senior Interplay facilitator
An early childhood education teacher
A learning disabilities nurse
A mother, a wife, a friend
And simply, honestly, me
What I bring to HELD is not a clinical framework. It is a decade of learning, living, and deeply loving this work. It is the accumulated wisdom of teachers, traditions, and my own journey as a mother and a woman.
I show up with integrity, with warmth, and with the honest knowing that I am not the answer. I am simply someone who has walked a long way into this territory and wants to walk alongside you for a little of your journey.
