Somatic & energy Therapy
Located in Glen Forrest WA
What is Somatic & Energy Therapy?
While counselling works with the mind and the capacity for expression through speaking/talking, Somatic and Energy Therapy works with the body and its capacity for expression through feeling, sensory and energetic states.
Emotional pain that could not be processed at the time of the experience will often reside in the physical or energy body of the client, and often beyond the conscious awareness of the individual. Gabor Mate in his ground-breaking work on trauma, states that physical ailments and disease have their origin within unresolved trauma ¹. Utilising Integrated Therapeutic Alignment (ITA), Biodynamic Cranio Sacral Therapy, or Somatic referencing, suppressed energies and emotions can be gently released or integrated, freeing up the client to experience life from the fullness of their being.

What to expect in a Somatic/Energy Therapy Session:
Somatic/Energy therapy sessions are offered at my workspace located in Glen Forrest in the Perth Hills, in a private tranquil bush setting surrounded by trees and birds. My dogs can wander in and out (or not!). It's a space designed to put you at ease and allow your nervous system to relax.
Your session is for you. We only work with what you are comfortable working with and at a pace that allows you to integrate your discoveries. The somatic &/or energy work can be done whilst sitting or whilst lying face up on a treatment table. Sessions may also incorporate movement, body awareness &/or meditation. I work in a gentle manner, clear boundaries are maintained at all times, along with clear communication and consent before any touch is applied. There is a natural regulating rhythm that can be facilitated within your session to ensure that overwhelm is avoided. I have great faith in the process and in the way things unfold. It is a process of allowing for embodied expression, and honouring the uniqueness of the individual throughout the session.

It’s important to reflect on why you are coming and what you want to gain from the session. Whilst perhaps understanding that other things may emerge during the session that require loving consideration.
It can help to choose a day and a time where you have time after the session to integrate. It’s good to reflect on who in your life can provide support outside the therapeutic setting.
Drink plenty of water before your session and I recommend wearing comfortable clothing.
-
Everyone’s experience is different and depends upon where they are at on any given day, what they are dealing with and what is being worked with in the session. It is safe, respectful of boundaries, and governed by you, the individual. I use pendulation when I work to ensure that you can integrate your discoveries and shifts without feeling overwhelmed.

Cranio Sacral therapy - a gentle, yet profound method for enhancing the function of the nervous system and returning balance and mobility to your whole body. It uses gentle contacts especially on the skull, spine and sacram to facilitate an activation of the body’s self-healing or homeostatic mechanism. This allows for the release of blocks or holding patterns that interfere with the normal functioning of the body’s systems. These blocks or holding patterns usually relate to trauma or conditioning patterns that have been laid down in the past. Upon their release, energy can flow uninterrupted once more through the system and support a return to health and wellbeing.
Integrated Therapeutic Alignment (ITA) – works holistically with the physical and subtle energy bodies using a combination of hands-on acupressure style contact and hands off etheric contact in a sequenced pattern of movements. There are three tiers of treatment available including balancing of the physiological, psychological and emotional systems and the alleviation of symptoms; awakening and embodying the soul and spirit state; Experiencing life from a unified state.

When I had my first energy therapy session with Kim I didn’t know what to expect. But she was so nice she just immediately put me at ease.
Then she just talked normally, asking simple questions while I lay there and she moved her hands around near my body. I don’t know how she did it, but I could almost feel the energy moving through me, and I felt my emotions being brought to the surface. Kim then helped me to interpret, understand and reconcile those deep feelings. It was extremely cathartic. I would thoroughly recommend Kim to anyone who needs to release and come to terms with their deep-seated emotions.

After an unexpected traumatic event I was in need of healing... but unsure what to do and who to see.
A friend suggested I make an appointment with Kim. After my first session I felt a weight had been lifted and released in the most gentle and safest way, clarity and a sense of calmness is what followed... Every subsequent time I have seen Kim I leave feeling like I have journeyed to my true self and have clarity on a deeper level....to guide me on a daily basis. I now feel lighter, energised, the clutter has been cleared and I am aligned with my true self and able to move with life not against it. Just an enormous thank you Kim...for your professional, healing, insightful and nurturing sessions.

For months I had been troubled by back pain, constant tiredness, and generally not feeling well.
After an energy alignment with Kim, I was amazed how good I felt. I had never had this type of therapy before, but I went along with an open mind. During the session with Kim I could actually feel the energy moving. Afterwards, I felt relaxed and refreshed. The next morning my back pain had gone, and I felt so much better. I still feel good even now. I would recommend Kim’s energy therapy to anyone.
