Modalities
Somatic &embodiment coaching
With an embodied and trauma informed approach that weaves in lessons from yoga, breathwork, somatics and bio-neuromechanics, I work directly with the nervous system, supporting you to deepen your understanding of your body, so that you can feel more connected and empowered
In session we explore different tools and techniques that can be integrated in daily life to support both movement and mental habits to help you navigate life with greater ease. Whilst my work starts on the mat, I believe in the power of how this ripples far beyond the mat into everyday life.
With a history of dysautonomia, seizures, POTs and hypermobility I understand the challenges of feeling safe and connected. Each body is unique and moves, responds uniquely, so I promote a safe environment for exploration.
Breathwork: including Conscious Connected Breathwork (CCB)
Connecting with breath has been instrumental in deepening my self understanding and helping nurture my nervous system. I work with the breath on different levels, from down regulation to more activating techniques such as Conscious Connected Breathwork(CCB), depending on what is being presented
CCB is a powerful practice involving continuous, seamless breathing without pauses, this works on a deep subconsious level, helping release tension, boost resilience, promote deeper relaxation, and even support in ‘rewiring’ old patterns that are not serving you.
Within sessions I may include bodywork and essential oils, which are optional and can be discussed at the start.
Movement is the language of the body’s wisdom
Bonnie Bainbridge CohenI'm not here to hand you a generic wellness routine. I'm here to help you build a working relationship with a nervous system that's sensitive and entirely your own.
This isn't about pushing through. It's about learning what your body needs, and having the tools to respond to it.
How we can work together
Together, we work on:
Understanding your patterns: learning what tends to trigger flares, dips, and crashes, so they feel less random
Regulating in real time: breath and somatic tools you can actually use when you're symptomatic, not just when you're feeling fine
Rebuilding trust with movement: adapted, nervous system aware approaches to breathwork and movement that don't push you past your window of tolerance
Reducing the "fight" response: shifting from bracing against your body to working with it
A container to actually use the tools: you've probably seen breath and somatic techniques on social media already. Knowing them and using them are different things. Having somewhere to bring what's actually happening, week to week, is what makes them stick

What others have said
It's been so helpful, and with Victoria having her own experience with dysautonomia, I can really feel it being so much more helpful than guided exercise/breathing/physio etc. in the past that haven't accounted for this at all and made things worse
Lucy, a client struggling with dysautonomia
It was absolutely what I wanted and needed. I had given up yoga and with it slow breathing because of POTS and this is helping me

The difference between things just happening to you, and being able to meet your body where it is.
FAQs
-
This is a common experience, and it's usually because the approach wasn't designed with dysautonomia or POTS in mind. This work is built specifically around nervous system sensitivity and orthostatic intolerance, adapting pace, position, and practice to what your body can actually tolerate
-
No. Many people come to this work while still going through the diagnostic process, or after being told there's "nothing wrong" despite ongoing symptoms. You don't need a label to start building a better relationship with your body.
-
No. This work sits alongside medical care, not instead of it. It focuses on nervous system regulation and body awareness, and is not a substitute for diagnosis, medication, or treatment from a doctor or specialist.
-
POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) is a form of dysautonomia where the heart rate increases abnormally on standing, often causing dizziness, fatigue, and fainting. It's one of the more commonly recognised forms of dysautonomia, though it's still frequently missed or misdiagnosed.
-
Dysautonomia is a broad term for conditions in which the autonomic nervous system doesn't regulate itself properly. Since the autonomic nervous system controls involuntary functions like heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and temperature control, symptoms can be wide-ranging and often don't fit neatly into a single diagnosis.
-
Standard breathwork isn't always appropriate for POTS or dysautonomia, and some approaches can worsen symptoms. Breath-led practices that are adapted for orthostatic intolerance and nervous system sensitivity can help support regulation, but they need to be tailored, not generic
-
This work comes from lived experience of dysautonomia, as well as professional training. Practices are adapted specifically for those navigating long term health challenges, rather than applied as one size fits all.
Sometimes you also need a space to be held - as much as you may know what is good for you, it is so hard to show up. Through this programme you will have a container of support that provides accountability and guidance to build a regular rhythm
-
Absolutely. To drive real change and a consistent practice it is beneficial to work over a longer period of time hence the 3 month container but this should not stop you getting in touch for an individual session if that suits you better.
