Meet Life Differently

Somatic Experiencing® · Craniosacral Therapy · NeuroAffective Touch®

You may understand your patterns and still keep repeating them.

They are automatic protective responses held in the body. They show up as bracing, disconnecting, lashing out, avoiding, or people-pleasing, and can keep you stuck in ongoing stress.

I work with people whose overwhelm, trauma, or long-held tension has not shifted through insight alone. We work with these responses at the level of the body and nervous system, so old patterns can change and new choices become possible.

This can mean staying connected during conflict, holding boundaries without guilt, and moving towards the relationships, work, and life you actually want.

SessionS

Somatic therapy is experiential. Rather than only talking about what happened, we notice what's happening now — how your body speaks through sensation, breath, movement, and impulses.

Together we get curious about your protective responses and follow their intelligence. When your system feels enough safety and support, emotions and survival responses that were stuck can complete. This gives your body the agency to respond to life differently.

People often notice more presence, steadier emotions, and an ability to stay with themselves through the hard moments as well as the good ones. Over time, the relationship you have with yourself changes leading to more freedom and self-attunement.

In-person sessions may include hands-on craniosacral therapy and somatic touch. Online, we work with the same principles through felt sense, guided awareness, imagery, and self-contact.

Each 75min session is $150 AUD

ABOUT ME

I'M A SOMATIC EXPERIENCING® PRACTITIONER, CRANIOSACRAL THERAPIST, AND SOMATIC BODYWORKER.

I also work with NeuroAffective Touch®, a relational touch approach that meets early developmental and attachment patterns held in the body.

I came to this work through facilitating yoga and embodied movement.

For over a decade, I guided people to reconnect with themselves through awareness, movement, and inner listening. This provided an embodied foundation to integrate the stories held in my own body.

I became increasingly drawn to the deeper layers of healing — particularly how stress, trauma, and relational experiences shape us in the here and now.

That took me into training in Somatic Experiencing®, craniosacral therapy, and relational touch work. These days I weave those approaches together to support the whole of you — to find safety from the inside, reorganise, and reconnect with your own capacity for wholeness.

TESTIMONIALS

“I’ve always left a session with Emese feeling so incredibly seen across all levels of being • emotional, spiritual, mental, physical. The way she weaves somatic and craniosacral therapy complements in such a way that deep layers of the mystery of this human experience are unravelled, truth and wisdom rising to the surface. It’s truly such beautiful work and reflects the radiant and integral woman that she is. Beyond grateful”

- Mikaela

“Initially came to Emese for ongoing back and hip issues following a serious car accident, but quickly discovered there was much more beneath the surface.

Through our sessions, I was able to connect with and release emotions and tension I had been carrying for years. Emese’s subtle, intuitive bodywork, combined with the space to talk and explore what was arising, felt both deeply restorative and profoundly moving.

I felt safe enough to speak openly about experiences I had never previously had the courage to share. The physical tension in my back and hips has also improved, and I feel I have gained greater clarity, self-awareness, and capacity to heal.

This work has been an extraordinary gift, and I feel I have found both a modality and a practitioner who can support me at real depth.”

-Matt

“I have had the privilege of training alongside Emese in our Somatic Experiencing training and working together at the clinic. I deeply respect the care, presence, and dedication she brings to her work. Her depth of attunement and commitment to ongoing learning and embodied practice are qualities I have witnessed firsthand, and I trust the people who work with her will feel the steadiness and integrity she brings to the therapeutic space.”
