pelvic care, bodywork, somatics supervision and mentorship for burgeoning wellness practitioners
personalised somatic mentorship and education in pelvic care, bodywork and somatics for practitioners. Emphasizing nervous system literacy, embodied presence, skillful, ethical touch-based practices and expanding capacity to hold complex therapeutic processes rooted in deep care.
INTEGRATIVE PRACTITIONER MENTORSHIP
For practitioners who work with the body, the nervous system, intimacy, or the pelvic landscape, itâs essential to have a space where your questions, edges, and unfolding skillset are truly held. I offer supportive, grounded mentorship for somatic practitioners, bodyworkers, sexological bodyworkers, therapeutic bodyworkers, massage therapists and pelvic-care providers who want deeper embodiment, ethical clarity, and guidance in complex or nuanced cases.
With over two decades of interdisciplinary hands-on in clinic practice, I support practitioners in refining their touch skills, work safely with trauma (within scope of practice), understand the subtle language of the nervous system, and deepen their capacity to hold clients with integrity, attunement, and consent-centered care.
This is nurturing, not bureaucratic. A space to debrief sessions, explore challenges, strengthen clinical discernment, and expand your therapeutic range with a mentor fluent in somatics, trauma repair, sexuality, bodywork and pelvic care.
If you feel called to deepen your practice and receive supervision rooted in both skill, ethics and embodiment, youâre invited to apply below.
who is this mentorship for?
This mentorship is for practitioners seeking greater depth, nuance, and nervous-system awareness in their work. It is suited to bodyworkers, massage therapists, pelvic care practitioners, somatic practitioners, and facilitators who feel called to move beyond technique alone and into a more relational, responsive way of working with the body.
It may be a good fit if you are interested in working with bodies, pelvic care, and emotionally layered material with care, patience, skilled touch and ethical clarity. You value consent-centered touch, embodied presence, and an understanding of how your own nervous system and lived experience shape the spaces you hold with clients.
This space is designed for practitioners who appreciate both grounded knowledge and subtle inquiry. Those who value anatomy, physiology, fascia, and nervous system science alongside emotional, relational, and symbolic dimensions of healing.
If you are not seeking hierarchy or rigid protocols, but rather mentorship that supports discernment, self-responsibility, and professional maturity within a small, relational learning environment, this work may resonate.
what mentorship centres.
This mentorship is oriented toward cultivating how you work, not simply adding more techniques. It supports you in developing nervous-system literacy, anatomical fluency, and embodied discernment so you can meet each body, each woman, and each moment with responsiveness rather than prescription.
You will be supported to refine your capacity to adapt your work across different life phases, bodily expressions, identities, and therapeutic needs. This includes learning how to stay grounded in your own perception.Whether your knowing arrives through sensation, image, sound, or felt sense â and how to speak, touch, and respond from a place of clarity, confidence, and ethical presence. The mentorship emphasises meeting complexity without collapse or over-control, and cultivating compassion that is resourced rather than self-sacrificing.
pillars of mentorship.
Over the course of the mentorship, you will develop fluency across three interwoven dimensions of ethical, holistic practiceâŠ
ⶠPhysiological and Anatomical Literacy
Deepening your understanding of anatomy, physiology, fascia, organs, fluids, bones, and neural pathways. not as abstract knowledge, but as living systems you can perceive, map, and communicate through your hands and presence.
ⶠEmotional - Somatic Intelligence
Building nervous system awareness, emotional anatomy, and trauma-informed responsiveness. Learning to recognise how posture, breath, tissue tone, and sensation carry story, memory, and meaning and how to meet this material without force or agenda.
ⶠIntuitive and Symbolic Perception
Strengthening your relationship to intuition, metaphor, and subtle perception in a way that is embodied and grounded. This includes learning how to work skillfully with symbolic language, archetypal themes, and the unseen layers of experience while remaining anchored in consent, physiology, and relational safety.
areas of exploration and practice
Through live calls, hands-on demonstrations, and guided embodiment these mentorships can explores themes such asâŠ

ⶠStrengthening ethical, consent-centered, and grounded hands-on practice whilst cultivating non-directive, nervous-system-aware bodywork

ⶠNervous system regulation and non-directive, presence-based touch
ⶠCranial rhythms, fluid systems (blood and lymph), and breath + heart dynamics
ⶠEmotional somatics, inner-part expression, attunement and tissue listening
ⶠrefining touch-based skill
ⶠPelvic, breast, and cranial work approached slowly, ethically, and without agenda

As well as sharing more practical hands-on / hands-in skillful bodywork and richly informed by her love of anatomy and physiology.
