About me
Hi! I'm Maria, and I specialise in helping women break free from anxiety, stress and chronic pain so they can feel happy, fulfilled and healthy again.
- Not sleeping?
- Overwhelmed or exhausted?
- Anxiety, depression or stress?
- Chronic pain, headaches or IBS?
- Addictive or numbing behaviours?
These are signals from your mind-body system that it’s time for change.
I know firsthand what it’s like to feel trapped by anxiety, stress, trauma, and chronic pain. For years, I searched for answers, yet nothing brought lasting relief. Then I discovered the pioneering work of Dr Sarno and the new neuroscience research. Once I understood the deep connection between the mind and body, everything changed. After 25 years of chronic pain, I was pain-free. Then, with the help of somatic therapy, I beat my struggle with anxiety at last.
Embodied Processing (EP) is a somatic therapy that gets to the root of your issues and releases emotions from the body. It is based on the latest neuroscience and Internal Family Systems, and works via the intelligence of the subconscious mind within the body, building your ability to regulate your nervous system.
Your mind and body are designed to heal when given the right support. Through a personalised, compassionate approach, I help you regulate your nervous system, break free from old patterns, and restore balance. My goal is to empower you with practical tools for lasting relief - so you can step into a life of health, confidence, and ease.
