Pathways for Embodied Living

Trauma Informed, Spiritual & Heart-centred

It warms my heart you’ve found your way here.

I’m a somatic therapist, mentor, educator and ceremonial guide. My work is grounded in trauma-informed practice and shaped by my professional and personal lived experience.

For the past 13 years, I have supported people across community, educational and embodied spaces. From working alongside young people experiencing marginalisation, homelessness and foster care, to universities, retreats, group programs and private practice.

Together, these experiences have shaped the inner knowing that healing is possible.

Today, I bring these threads together through somatic therapy, nervous system tending & embodiment practices, ritual, ceremony and shamanic based practices, creative expression, womb and cyclical wisdom.

1:1 & group therapy, Mentoring & circles, community gatherings and bespoke immersions, with integration at the core of how I work.

“My mission is to inspire others to go inside their bodies so they can experience their truth and live a life of vitality, power and purpose"

How we can work together

I offer a multi-dimensional, heart-centered approach, drawing on insights from a variety of therapeutic and embodiment frameworks, including: Compassionate Inquiry, Trauma-Informed nervous system and embodiment practices, influences of IFS, Somatic Experience and polyvagal theory as well as shamanic and earth-based wisdoms.

Testimonials

  • I was struggling to express my authentic voice in situations, facing lots of inner criticism and conflict. It felt merky and was challenging to come back to knowing and trusting my unique gifts and path. I’ve come to see the prominence and weight of fear in my everyday experiences. And I sit with greater wisdom now of its origin - helped by Ana connecting me safely back into earlier experiences where that part of me became quite deep rooted. Ultimately, a greater clarity of what has been out of balance for me and holding me in patterns. Also that I have the capacity to hold myself in compassion and tenderness even when I’m experiencing states of fearfulness / lack of trust or confidence. Tap into your bravery to try, to simply show up. Everything else will unravel. Ana has a deep embodied toolkit and incredibly intuitive sense and what might be appropriate to support.

    Katie, England.

  • During the program with Ana I have learned so many practices which I can continue to use in my daily life which help me regulate my nervous system, connect to my body and feel her wisdom. One of the most valuable thing I have learned is that most of the answers I'm looking for are actually already inside me and working with Ana helped me access and decode what was already there, waiting to come through.Coming into my body has helped me tap into my creative 'flow' a lot more. I have seen and felt my romantic relationships deepen as I am more authentic and present within my body in intimate moments. I have begun to let go of my 'people pleaser' and have developed my confidence to express my needs, desires and boundaries a lot more.

  • Before I met Ana, I was in a dark space and was feeling lost after my husband committed suicide. I felt lost, exhausted and defeated. It has been only 6 months since Ana and I started working together, but for me it has been the equivalent of years of therapy. It is always a difficult process to feel your emotions and face your fears and insecurities. Having someone like Ana, that holds your hand and guides you gently in this process makes it possible to heal and feel life is worth living. Working with her has been one of the best decisions I have taken.

  • The container, practices and processes Ana has shared with me have been crucial in my mental health and emotional recovery. My anxiety, fears and insecurities have been disappearing as I began to uncover the roots of these stories and little by little I am experiencing healing. Today I feel like I can enjoy life, I can be in the present moment and connected to the blessings of every moment.

  • Working with Ana is a tender, intimate process. She creates and holds a powerful container for healing. I trust her implicitly.

    Ghita, Australia.

  • I learnt how to be with my body and enquire with compassion about painful traumas. What has been most valuable is learning to accept all my parts and learning how I can be whoever or whatever I need to be for myself. I feel empowered to manage my wellbeing through a greater awareness of what is happening for me in any given moment. And I’ve been able to use the tools that I’ve learnt with Ana to give care, compassion and understanding to myself. I’m incredibly grateful for taking this journey with Ana because it means I have a better relationship with myself. I’ve healed much of my wounds and my suffering and feel lighter and more able to live the life I want to live.
