About

I am passionate about working with people to release trapped emotions and other blocks, because of the deep transformations it brings. Discovering the Emotion Code®, Body Code^TM and Belief Code® methods has been the end of a long journey of exploration.

I first trained as a holistic practitioner in my 20s studying Anatomy, Physiology and Body Massage, Sports Massage and other modalities. Working with the body I learnt that the emotional memory could be associated with the body and that memories would be retrieved by clients from events they had long forgotten about. But it also seemed to be a byproduct of treatments that were focused on the physical body only.

After a few years my career took a different path and I pursued further education, earning a masters degree and a doctorate in environmental chemistry, leading me into a traditional scientific role. However, I found myself drawn back to different ways of working with the body in the search for something that could really help to integrate emotional memories. I had started to realise that I had a lot of my own material to work through, including unprocessed grief from bereavement as a child and a number of health challenges. I explored energetic approaches like Reiki, training up to Reiki master level, and some intuitive approaches which helped me step into the unknown, but they never quite seemed to be specific enough to be reliably transformative.

Along the way I learnt a great deal about trauma, the nervous system and how the body naturally protects itself, but also how the particular events can get stuck in the body in a way that is not directly accessible to the conscious mind, but that influences us unconsciously. I learnt about massage and trauma and also about grief massage for working with the bereaved and the effect of grief on the nervous system. I learnt some specific trauma release techniques, including the powerful Myofascial Energetic Release Bodywork Breath and Trauma Release.

I am really grateful for all of the teachings along the way but when I started to learn about the Emotion Code®, the Body Code^TM and the Belief Code® from DiscoverHealing in my early 50s the results I saw, first for myself, and then with clients, really amazed me. Take a look at the testimonials for some specific examples.

These methods put the body and the subconscious mind at the centre of the process, and use muscle testing to ask about its priorities. That sounds simple but makes the approach incredibly powerful. The amount of knowledge encoded into the Body Code system is astounding and supports the work by homing in quickly on underlying issues. When those are released things shift, often very quickly. The way clients feel changes almost moment to moment as things start to flow again and more profound changes follow. There is a lightness as long-carried emotions are able to be put down as things are resolved.

Sometimes it is the beliefs we hold that affect us or stop us from being able to resolve an issue, whether that is a physical issue or something broader. The Belief Code provides a way to identify and work with subconscious beliefs that are out of alignment with our consciously held beliefs. Those might be beliefs from our early life or beliefs from our ancestors that are still influencing us. The transformation that comes from updating those beliefs is often profound.

I love working with these methods because they are gentle but deeply effective. The nature of the work involves providing a safe space, being present with sensitivity and compassion and listening to the information from the body and subconscious. That provides a container where transformation can happen. There are many reasons why emotions may become trapped. Identifying the emotions, and sometimes some contextual information, allows us to let go, in a way that honours our experience without judgement. It also allows us to be compassionate towards our younger self. I find my work often involves ancestral influences and working with those brings a much broader context to our awareness as we shift our perspective on all of the things that bring us to where we are.

It’s an honour to work with clients in this way to enable real change. If you would like to work together please get in touch.
