IFS Therapy
&
SOMATIC IFS
Internal Family Systems is and evidence based approach that works from the idea that everyone is made up of a variety of "parts" . In order for healing to occur we must get to know our parts on a deeper level. Through help from a practitioner that is familiar with this system we can then identify the roots of presenting problems and support ourselves to experience greater wellbeing in our lives
Psychedelic Integration Therapy
About Me
Through the years of my own personal journey and healing I have learnt that moving towards the parts of myself that I rejected, criticised and ridiculed. I was then able to find peace with my being in a curious and compassionate way. I was able to honour myself as a full and whole human being.

IFS Led Psychedelic Integration Therapy can be used for a variety of experiences that involve non ordinary states of consciousness including Breathwork, Sound Therapy & Psychedelic Medicine experiences
Sometimes we forget that planning, preparation and integration are as crucial as the Journey or sessions itself and substantial preparation & Integration can have a more positive impact and outcome from your experience.
Through the years of my own personal journey and healing I have learnt that moving towards the parts of myself that I rejected, criticised and ridiculed. I was then able to find peace with my being in a curious and compassionate way. I was able to honour myself as a full and whole human being.
Eating Distress comes in many forms, overeating, undereating, restriction to name a few.
It can be very enticing to reach for a diet book to "fix" your concerns around food.
IFS is a gentle and compassionate way to turn towards ourselves, our relationship with food and look at the root cause of the issue rather that short term solutions
