“Integration is the heart of healing.
Where there is trauma, there is dis-integration - chaos or rigidity.
Where there is integration, there is flexibility and coherence.”
- Dr Daniel J. Siegel
SOMATIC PSYCHOTHERAPY - Individual sessions
SomaticMaps™ offers one-on-one somatic psychotherapy and (optional) touch-based work to support reconnection with your body, the release of trauma patterns, and restoration of your natural life force.
Sessions are grounded in body-based and systemic approaches - including Somatic Experiencing®, NeuroAffective Touch®, and Somatic Constellations (a unique blend of somatic work and family constellations) - recognising that healing happens not only within you, but also in relationship: to others, to place, and to the wider field.
Together, we can address both shock trauma (such as falls, accidents, or medical interventions) and the impacts of developmental trauma (such as neglect, physical and emotional abuse), chronic stress, and long-held patterns shaped by early experience.
Curious about working together? Please make contact or a free 15-minute phone chat to see if we’re the right fit.

“With each breath, I clear from my cellular memory, the energetic impact of traumatic disempowerment.
I reclaim my trust in myself” - Juliet Carter
Philosophy & Vision
My work is grounded in the belief that the body holds deep wisdom and an innate capacity to heal, when met with the right conditions of safety, connection, and presence.
I integrate somatic, attachment-based, systemic, and trauma-informed frameworks to support clients and professionals in cultivating resilience, embodied presence, and system-aware care.
My approach draws on contemporary neurobiological insights and ancient wisdoms to foster meaningful, sustainable change - post-traumatic growth.
My vision is to see body-aware, trauma-informed practices embedded not only in psychotherapy, but also in clinical supervision, staff wellbeing programs, and across organisational culture and community health settings.
