Every session is shaped around you: what you’re experiencing physically and emotionally, what your body is holding, and what you’d like to explore. Here’s what you can expect.

Who comes to see me
Some people come with something physical, such as jaw tension, headaches, chronic pain or tension that never quite lets go. Others come because of stress, burnout, anxiety or emotional overwhelm. And many come because they recognise a pattern they keep repeating: putting other people first, struggling to say no, reacting in ways they understand but can’t seem to change, or simply feeling disconnected from their body.
Often it’s a mix. You don’t need to know exactly what you want to work on. We can start with whatever is there.
What happens in a session
We start with a conversation. I’ll ask what has brought you here, but I’m interested in more than where something hurts. We may talk about how you’ve been feeling, what’s been happening in your life, and any patterns, emotions or beliefs that keep coming back. You share as much or as little as feels right.
Then we begin the hands-on work. You lie fully clothed on a comfortable treatment table while I work with light, attentive touch at different areas of the body, such as the feet, pelvis, spine, ribcage, neck and head, listening to patterns of tension and following where your body is ready to go.
We finish with time to settle. Before you get up, there’s space to rest, notice how you feel, and talk about anything that came up.
When emotions come up
As tension begins to release, emotions, images or memories can sometimes surface, occasionally connected to something we talked about at the start. If that happens, we can give it space. You can talk about it, stay with what you’re feeling, or simply let it pass.
My wider background in yoga and meditation, EFT, Matrix Reimprinting, coaching and somatic work means I’m comfortable supporting you through these moments, whether that’s bringing your attention back to your breath and body, staying with a sensation, or exploring a pattern or belief together. A session can move between physical bodywork and emotional exploration when that’s what you need.
Equally, nothing has to happen. Some sessions are quiet and deeply restful, and that is just as valuable. You’re always in control: you can speak, ask questions, change position or ask me to stop at any time.
Natalie helped me reset my nervous system, release deeply held tension, and begin to feel emotionally safe again. I feel more grounded in myself than I had in a long time.”

Your first session
Your first session is 90 minutes. This gives us time to talk properly before we begin, so I can understand your health and emotional history and what you’d like to work on, without either of us feeling rushed. After that, you can choose between 60- and 90-minute sessions.
