Welcome to Myssence, where you can participate in your unfolding by radically committing to your healing.
“The essence of trauma is a disconnect from the self. Therefore, the essence of healing is not just uncovering one’s past, but reconnecting with oneself in the present” - Gabor Maté
Allow me to support you in seeing yourself more clearly. Our work together will help reconnect you with parts of yourself that have always existed. It will be a journey of unmasking your inner essence, building healthy coping skills, and embracing your resilience.
A Holistic Integrated Approach To Healing
Embark on a holistic journey towards healing and well-being with an integrated approach to therapy. Through an integration of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy and Body-Based Therapy, I will support you in cultivating a sense of safety, self-compassion, and resilience. My mission is to equip you with tools that will support you in building on the adaptability of your nervous system while helping you shift limiting beliefs for you to move towards a greater sense of emotional balance and well-being.
I invite you to experience an approach that honours your unique journey and recognizes that amidst the pain and suffering, there is the potential for personal discovery, healing, and growth.

The Girl Who Didn’t Stop – Erin Hanson
Let me tell the tale
Of a girl who didn’t stop,
Who climbed up every mountain
Without a pause upon the top.
She’d dance until each blade of grass
Was clothed in drops of dew,
And the sun knew her by name
But the silver moon did too.
For a fear had settled in her bones;
A fear of sitting still,
That if you’re not moving forward
It must mean you never will.
So in time, her dance got slower
And she looked at all she’d seen,
But found gaps inside the places
That she’d never fully been,
For she was a human doing,
Human moving, human seeing,
But she’d never taken time
To simply be a human being.
