Words of Wisdom
״As a somatic practitioner, I believe in the power of healing through awareness and self-discovery. My goal is to support you on your journey towards balanced well-being and inner peace.״
Somatic Therapy
Somatic therapy is a body-centered approach to healing that recognizes the deep connection between the mind, body, and spirit. Rooted in the understanding that trauma and emotional pain are stored not only in the mind but also in the body. Somatic therapy invites individuals to reconnect with their physical selves to process and release stored stress, tension, and unresolved emotions. Through gentle, guided techniques, somatic therapy helps you cultivate awareness of your body’s sensations, allowing you to become more attuned to what it holds and how it responds to life experiences.
In a trauma-informed somatic therapy session, I will create a safe and supportive space, honouring your unique experiences and pace. The focus is on fostering trust in your body’s wisdom, so you can release physical and emotional blockages, heal trauma at its core, and restore a sense of wholeness. Unlike traditional talk therapy, somatic therapy acknowledges that healing isn’t only a mental process—it is deeply physical, emotional, and spiritual.
Whether you are healing from past trauma, experiencing symptoms of anxiety or chronic stress, or looking to reconnect with your body after years of emotional numbness, somatic therapy offers a powerful tool to help you move from survival to thriving. It is a holistic, gentle, and effective approach that empowers you to heal on all levels—mind, body, and spirit.
About Janelle
My journey to becoming a somatic practitioner is deeply personal, shaped by my own experiences with trauma, depression, and anxiety. Born and raised in the Caribbean, I moved to the UK as a teenager and spent much of my adulthood battling emotional struggles without truly understanding why or how to process them. I tried various forms of talking therapy, but none seemed to reach the core of what I was feeling. My counsellors listened, but I never felt truly seen or supported. It always felt like something essential was missing, as if we were only scratching the surface of my depression without ever going deeper.
For years, I carried the weight of unresolved emotions, feeling like my life was spinning out of control. After the loss of a close family member, experiencing the break down of several relationships, self-isolation, living in a constant state of hopelessness and inner turmoil, I reached a breaking point. I realized I couldn’t continue living like this—I needed to find a way to heal and reclaim my life.
It was during this difficult period that I discovered somatic therapy. This approach completely transformed my life. Through somatic therapy, I was able to access the deeper layers of my trauma, allowing me to truly process and release the pain I had been carrying for so long. It gave me the tools and space I needed to reconnect with my body, to fully understand my emotions, build capacity and to heal from the inside out.
Somatic therapy opened a new world for me. It wasn’t just about addressing my depression and anxiety; it was about rediscovering who I truly was, embracing my authentic self, and finding liberation from the patterns that had held me back for so long. I have been able to create a life that fills me with purpose and joy—a life that I truly love. I wake up with a deep sense of fulfilment and gratitude, knowing that I am living authentically and in alignment with my values. Over time, I've learned to embrace the things that bring me excitement and happiness, allowing myself the freedom to engage in activities that nourish my spirit and spark my creativity. In addition, I’ve made a conscious effort to strengthen the relationships with the people who matter most to me—whether it’s family, friends, or colleagues. Through self-awareness I now have a deeper understanding of the importance of healthy boundaries, and I’ve learned to communicate my needs in ways that foster mutual respect and understanding. As a result, I feel more connected and at ease in my relationships than ever before.
This journey of self-discovery and healing led me to my calling—to help others who feel stuck, lost, or overwhelmed by their own trauma and emotional pain.
Now, as a certified somatic practitioner, I provide compassionate, trauma-informed care for individuals seeking a deeper connection with their bodies, a safe space to process their trauma, and a path to holistic healing in mind, body, and spirit. I know first-hand the transformative power of somatic therapy, and I’m passionate about guiding others toward the same freedom, peace, and self-acceptance that I have found.
If you're ready to explore your own healing journey, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
Somatic Therapy
How Can I Help You
Somatic therapy is a powerful approach to healing anxiety, stress, and unresolved emotions by working with the body as well as the mind. When we experience overwhelming emotions or unresolved trauma, our nervous system can become dysregulated, leaving us stuck in patterns of chronic stress, fear, or sadness. Traditional talk therapy often focuses on analysing thoughts and emotions, while somatic therapy goes deeper by helping you reconnect with your body’s innate ability to process and release stored tension. Through behavioural therapies and guided practices like breathwork, meditation, and body awareness, I help you develop a felt sense of safety, allowing your nervous system to shift from a state of survival to one of regulation and balance.
Together, we build your capacity to handle difficult emotions and life challenges without feeling consumed by them. Rather than avoiding or suppressing painful feelings, you’ll learn how to sit with them, process them, and move through them in a way that fosters resilience. I’ll support you in developing personalized tools to manage stress, calm anxiety, and navigate depressive episodes with greater ease. As you strengthen your ability to self-regulate, you’ll gain confidence in your ability to face life’s ups and downs with more clarity, emotional stability, and self-compassion.
Reclaim Your Life After Heartbreak with Somatic Therapy
Are you feeling lost, overwhelmed, or struggling to navigate the emotional pain after a breakup or divorce? When a relationship ends, it can feel as if a part of us is missing, leaving us with deep wounds that are hard to heal. You might feel stuck in cycles of grief, anger, or sadness—maybe even tormented by memories that don’t seem to fade. But you don’t have to face this journey alone.
Through compassionate, trauma-informed somatic therapy, I’m here to help you:
Process & Heal: We’ll explore and gently release the emotional pain stored within your body. I’ll guide you in safely expressing and moving through your feelings, making space for peace and healing.
Rebuild Confidence & Self-Worth: Together, we’ll work on rebuilding your sense of self, separate from past relationships. This journey is about rediscovering who you are and regaining trust in yourself.
Create Inner Safety & Resilience: If abuse or emotional trauma was part of your relationship, somatic therapy can help you restore a feeling of safety in your body, helping you feel empowered and secure as you move forward.
Reconnect with Joy & Purpose: As you heal, you’ll begin to see new possibilities and reclaim the parts of life that bring you joy, fulfillment, and meaning.
With gentle, body-centered techniques, we’ll work together to release the weight of the past, so you can move forward with strength, clarity, and hope. Reclaim your life, and find peace within yourself again.
