I am Sarah, a Neuro Somatic Practitioner in Melbourne. Before you read anything about me, answer these. At the end you get a plain description of what your body is doing and where I would actually start you.
Four seconds in, two hold, six out, until the ring closes. A longer breath out than in is the piece of this work with the most research behind it, and it is the first thing I give every client.
Sixty seconds. Nothing to sign up for.
Hands on and in clinic. The work is physical rather than conversational, and most of it is spent on the table.
How your body is organising under stress. Breathing patterns, neurological reflexes, posture and range of movement where it is relevant.
Precise hands on techniques that support your system to downregulate, working with the diaphragm, the vagus nerve and the lymphatic system.
Using muscle testing we locate where your body is holding threat outside conscious awareness. Not what you can describe. What it is actually doing.
Breath retraining, movement and vagus nerve work between sessions, plus direct access to me by message.
Hyper vigilance or shutdown did not arrive in a week. I do not offer one off appointments, because they do not change anything. The quiz above suggests which of these two would suit you.
Stabilises your system and interrupts the immediate, reactive patterns.
Embeds the new responses deeply enough that they hold under real strain, not just on a good week.
You pause more often. Conflict stops hijacking the whole day. Less tightness, better sleep, and a shorter recovery after something goes wrong.
No. This is hands on work with your nervous system rather than a talking therapy, and it does not replace medical or clinical care. If you are working with a GP, a psychologist or a specialist, this sits alongside that, not instead of it.
It is a reflection tool, not an assessment. It puts language to a pattern you already recognise and suggests where I would start you. What it cannot do is see what your body is actually holding, which is what the first in clinic session is for.
No. One off sessions do not change a pattern that took decades to build, so I only work in three and six month programmes. If you only book when life falls apart, it makes sense that nothing really changes.
Not in the way you are picturing. Most of the session is spent on the table and the work is physical rather than conversational. We are changing the pattern at the level it is actually being run, not analysing it.
Most women who come to me have. Understanding why you do something and being able to stop doing it are two different things, and insight alone does not reach the responses that keep you switched on.
Two clinic rooms in Melbourne, one in Ringwood North and one in Port Melbourne, with different days at each. Exact addresses and times are confirmed when you book.
If you took the quiz it fills itself in. If this is the right fit I will say so, and if it is not I will tell you that too.
