Embodied, connected
& whole.

Holistic support for women, mothers, couples and the families they love.

A family of four walking along a dock by the water with a dog. The father and two children are visible, with the mother holding the hand of a young girl. The scene is at sunset or sunrise with calm water and a cloudy sky.

A woman and a young girl are embracing and smiling at each other with their faces close together, both with light hair and fair skin.

Hi! I am Kelly. As a registered social work therapist specializing in somatic therapies and parts work, I help women, mothers and couples come back into embodied connection with themselves through a careful blending of therapeutic exploration, nutritional and ancestral wisdom, and the inherent, deep knowing of the self. When you feel whole, those you love flourish too.

True healing asks us to tend to all of our parts - the body that holds our stories, the heart that longs to be seen, and the ancient wisdom that lives within us and around us. This is the foundation of everything I offer.

The practitioner must explore the patients relationship with the world on all levels, from the food they eat, to the people they love, to the way they relate to nature and herbal medicine. - David Hoffman

BOOK NOW

My Approach

Body & Nourishment

An open book with visible text, a white cup of tea or coffee with tea leaves and a white saucer, three green pears on a chunky gray knit blanket.

Gut health, nervous system regulation, functional nutrition, Ayurveda. The body as the foundation. Honouring our physical body as a living system to nourish and trust.

Mind, heart and soul

A cozy living room with two mustard yellow armchairs, a central potted plant, tall lamps on both sides, and a white curtain background.

Internal Family Systems (aka parts work), Somatic (mind/body) Therapies, Attachment & Reparenting, Trauma Focused-CBT and Couples Therapy. Tending to the inner experience — the parts of us that hold pain, longing, and a disconnect with our wholeness.

Roots and inherent wisdom

Sunlight filtering through trees in a forest clearing, with grass and small flowers on the ground at sunset.

Ancestral knowing, spirituality, the cycles and seasons of nature and self. Ancient rhythms as medicine for modern disconnection, and simplicity as a radical act.

When my baby was diagnosed with reflux, recurrent respiratory issues, and eczema all before the age of 2 years old, as well as being on the path to a neurodevelopmental disorder diagnosis, I knew there was something I was missing in our otherwise healthy lifestyle. Our healing journey, along with more than 20 years of working with parents, carers and children, was the inspiration for me to develop a holistic health service for all ages, where I could draw on my background in developmental science, individual and family therapy, and functional nutrition to truly support others to heal from the inside out.

I also discovered deeper layers of my own healing which needed my attention as I adjusted to a motherhood experience which looked very different from what I had envisioned. This work took me into deep re-parenting, grief processing, nervous system healing and spiritual growth. I went on a journey of re-connecting to my true self, which I find to be the most powerful journey any of us can take.

I now utilise a targeted combination of biopsychosocial approaches to support other individuals and families in a way which honours the powerful connections between all parts of them, and the world around them. Just as our mind is not separate from our body, we are not separate from the people and dynamics around us. Taking a holistic view of each person I work with allows us to work deeply and authentically towards their healing.
