A Different Approach to Healing

My work has always been guided by one question… How do we truly heal, in wholeness, through our entire being in mind, body and soul?

Healing is not about fixing what is broken. It’s about returning to what is already whole within you, and then the broken parts fix themselves.

My work is rooted in the understanding that true healing happens when we include the body, come into right relationship with the nervous system, and gently reconnect with the deeper layers of the self: the mind, the body and the spirit.

I support people who are navigating illness or injury, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, or a quiet sense of disconnection from themselves… even when everything “looks fine” on the outside.

This is not surface-level work. This is a return to your origin.

My Path

My background is both clinical and deeply intuitive.

I began my studies in Sports Science and Psychology, drawn to understanding both the workings of the body and the inner world. Yet something felt incomplete. I wanted a discipline that honoured the body and mind as interconnected parts of a whole. This led me to train as an Occupational Therapist.

Even then, I sensed there was more.

In my twenties, a deeper curiosity emerged around the connection between body, mind, and soul. That curiosity led me into clinical Pilates, where I spent years teaching movement with a strong therapeutic focus. I loved the precision, the embodiment, and the intelligence of the body and mind teachings as a more holistic system. While working physically with my clients, however, I often felt the deeper emotional and subconscious layers yearning to be addressed.

So I followed that thread. Over the years, I trained in wellness coaching, NLP and HNLP, Ericksonian hypnotherapy, transpersonal coaching psychology, open awareness practices, Authentic Self-Empowerment (ASE), and Embodiment Coaching. Alongside these formal studies, I continued exploring alternative healing methods and deepening my understanding of subtle energy and consciousness.

My path also led me into North American and South African shamanic traditions, where I was introduced to ways of working, living and being that honour the unseen, the ancestral, and the intelligence that exists beyond the rational mind.

None of these trainings took the place of what came before; each simply widened the lens through which I saw and experienced healings and deepened the wisdom.

After a globally rooted childhood and early adulthood, I felt a quiet call to return home to Mauritius, where my parents are from. Coming back was not just geographical.

It was personal.

It was about rooting, raising my child close to nature and family, and building something meaningful within community. For many years, I ran a rehabilitative Pilates practice, alongside a small holistic coaching practice. Then, after more than 20 years of rehab-based Pilates work, I felt the call to a deeper spiritual immersion.

How I work

My approach is integrative, intuitive, and grounded.

Each session is guided by your goals, what you are ready for, and draws from a blend of:

• Embodied awareness and somatic guidance.

• Nervous system regulation (what I would call “righting”/ coming-into-right-relationship-with)

• Subconscious and emotional integration

• Energy and shamanic healing practices.

While my sessions are structured, there is no rigid protocol. Instead, we listen. We slow down. We work at the pace that your body trusts.

Because lasting healing doesn’t come from force or going fast, it comes from safety, awareness, and integration.

What you may experience

Clients often come to me when they feel:

• Stuck in cycles of pain, tension, or fatigue

• Overwhelmed, anxious, or dysregulated

• Disconnected from their body or sense of self

• Frustrated after trying many different approaches.

Through our work together, you may begin to experience:

• A more regulated and resilient nervous system- this looks like feeling more energy, aliveness, joy and peace.

• Relief from chronic tension and pain patterns

• Greater emotional clarity and stability

• A deeper connection to your body and your inner guidance (your intuition)

• A sense of coming home to yourself.

Beyond my professional life

I am a mother, a lover of nature and animals, and someone who believes deeply in community: in creating spaces where we support one another honestly and compassionately on our healing journeys.

Healing, to me, is not just a technique.

It is a remembering of wholeness, of connection, and of the intelligence already within us, and this then becomes our way of life.
