I'm not your typical wellness practitioner who had it all figured out from the start.

I've navigated complex trauma, ADHD, burnout, single parenthood, and a nervous system that spent decades in survival mode. I learned the hard way that you can't think your way out of trauma - it also lives in your body, and that's where healing needs to happen. However, you need to build safety and resourcing in order to have the capacity to do the healing work, which, in my experience, was harder to do when there was abuse and trauma to my body. For years on end I was told by well meaning therapists to 'get into my heart' or 'get into my body' when my body was numb and it wasn't a safe place for me due to trauma. The frustration I felt did the opposite of heal. It actually retraumatised me repeatedly. Then I received specialised trauma support and it was a game changer for me.

Now I help exhausted, overwhelmed and menopausal women remember what it feels like to be safe in their own skin and body, regardless of the life challenges or situations they are facing. Through my spa in Cleveland, my private wellness space in Tinana, online programs, and digital resources, I create spaces where your nervous system can finally exhale in whichever mode of delivery works for you, specifically designed for the busy woman who is juggling all the things.

What I bring to your healing:

• 12+ years as a beauty therapist who sees beyond the surface
• Training and 20+ years experience in somatic therapy, hypnotherapy, holistic counselling, CBT, inner child therapy, regression therapy, energy healing and more
• 30+ years experience in corporate management background in operations management, workplace health and safety management, people and culture management and more.
• Real understanding of trauma, ADHD, shamanic medicine, intuitive spiritual healing and nervous system dysregulation
• Lived experience as a 45+ year old woman who has been through it all - marriage, divorce, abuse & trauma, burnout, overwhelm, single parenting, high level jobs, perimenopause & menopause, empty nesting, grief & loss, medical misdiagnosis, many medical & surgical procedures and more.
• Zero judgment and absolutely no toxic positivity or spiritual bypassing.

The digital programs and products aren't just theory - they're practical tools born from both professional training and personal experience. They're for women who are tired of being told to "just think positive" when their mind and body is keeping score of everything they've survived.

If you're done with surface-level self-care and ready for gentle, trauma-informed support that actually works with your nervous system instead of against it, you're in the right place.

With love and deep respect for your journey, Belinda x
