Welcome to rooted we rise

I believe nervous systems heal through safe relationship - whether that's the therapeutic bond of 1-1 therapy or the medicine of women gathering in community. Both paths lead you back to the most important relationship of all: the one with yourself.

Using Somatic Experiencing and Polyvagal Theory in therapy to help women who have experienced childhood trauma. Gently moving to a more regulated and resilient nervous system. And leaning in to seasonal wisdom with group offerings for all women designed to honour your internal rhythms and promote more in sync living.

When past trauma keeps you stuck, or when you're craving authentic connection, we return to what your nervous system needs most: safety in relationship - with others, and ultimately, with yourself.

“After feeling disconnected for so long my mind and body are finally coming back to each other.”

Rupi Kaur, Poet

Welcome dear soul,

I’m Angela.

Here I share my journey, both personal and professional…


I spent years working as an Occupational Therapist and Clinical Lead in the NHS, specialising in neurology (the nervous system) and mental health. Fast paced, intense and challenging. I was deep in the clinical world - helping people rebuild their lives after brain injuries, supporting mental health recovery, understanding how our nervous systems adapt and heal.

testimonials

  • ‘The abuse I had experienced left me with flashbacks. Certain smells took me right back there. I tried relaxation but closing my eyes laying still made it worse! With Angela, I learnt about the window of tolerance with really stuck with me. We worked on lots of grounding and orienting to the present. I’m not controlled by the the past anymore. And the nightmares have stopped at last’

  • ‘I had so much shame around my childhood trauma. I truly believed it was my fault. Angela was so warm, patient and never pushed or forced. I can say now I didn’t deserve what happened to me. Somatic Experiencing allowed me to see I am more than what happened to me. Wish I discovered this sooner’

    1-1 therapy client

  • ‘I am no longer checked out & feeling like life is passing me by. Somatic Experiencing with Angela taught me about the freeze response. We worked slowly. It was so different from other therapy where everything was about changing thoughts. I am now in the driving seat of life & so grateful I can be present to the joys of seeing my grandkids play’
