Yes, Somatic Therapy Works.Â
A quiet space on Sydney's Northern Beaches — designed for the work that matters most.
The Valleyview Room is a private, calm therapy space in Frenchs Forest on Sydney's Northern Beaches, a short drive from Manly, Dee Why, Mona Vale, Narrabeen, Avalon, and the surrounding areas.
If you're based in Sydney and ready to work in person, this is where we meet.
Not in Sydney? I also work online with clients across Australia and worldwide. Visit the online page here.
 This is for you if:
- You're exhausted in a way that sleep doesn't fix
- You're holding everything together — except yourself
- You've tried talk therapy and felt like something was still missing
- You're ready to work at a deeper level — in your body, not just your mind
- You want support from someone who truly gets what it costs to keep giving

What is somatic therapy?Â
Somatic therapy treats mental and emotional health concerns, even PTSD, through the connection of body and mind. This approach is effective in helping to release stress, tension, and trauma through the body.Â
Rather than a top-down approach working through the mind to effect change in the body, somatic therapy is flipped the other way. Somatic practices centre on the body, and set up strong connections between body and mind (or within the 'body-mind').Â
Somatic Experiencing is a term coined by Dr Peter Levine, but the practices used in somatic therapies span centuries of healing practices used in cultures all over the world.Â
Unlike standard mental health therapy, such as, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (or "CBT"), which focuses predominantly on the mind,somatic sessions can include body-oriented modalities such as movement, breathwork, and guided meditation to support healing in both the mind and the body. Somatic therapy sessions also include talk therapy and mind-body exercises.Â
These sessions are proven to assist in the treatment of grey-area or non-specific energy or health concerns, unhelpful patterns of behaviour, and emotions arising from challenging, traumatic events.Â
