Your nervous system holds what your mind can't think its way out of. Let's work with your body and mind — not against it.
"I understand my trauma. So why do I still feel this way?"
Body-based healing for people who've tried everything else
Talk therapy gives you insight. Somatic work and mindset shifts create the change — reaching the parts of you that understanding alone can't move.
I'm a Somatic Experiencing practitioner in training and a Master's student in Health & Social Psychology at Maastricht University — which means I bring both the science and the body-based practice into everything I do. I created Still Feel Stuck because I kept seeing the same thing: self-aware people who had done all the "right" work and were still struggling — not because they hadn't tried hard enough, but because insight alone doesn't create change. You can understand your patterns completely and still be at the mercy of them. Knowing isn't the same as changing — and that's exactly the gap that working with the nervous system and mindset closes.
My approach combines somatic experiencing and mindset work to create change at the level where your patterns actually live — so instead of just understanding them, you're shifting them. In the body and in the mind.
Everything you've done in therapy still counts. This is just the next layer of the work.
All sessions are online. You don't need to know anything about somatic work to start — just show up as you are.
A free 30-minute conversation to explore what you're dealing with and whether we're a good fit. No pressure, no pitch.
A 3-month 1:1 coaching container for people ready to go deeper. We work with your body, your history, and your patterns — at a pace that feels safe.
One focused session when you need support around a specific theme — a trigger, a stuck point, or a moment of overwhelm.
You tell me what's going on. I listen without judgment and explain what somatic work could look like for your specific situation.
Together we build a picture of your patterns — what triggers you, what shuts you down, what helps you feel safe — using somatic awareness.
Session by session, we gently work with the sensations, impulses, and patterns that live in your nervous system — not just your thoughts about them.
Anger, fear, disgust — these emotions aren't problems to fix. We work with them directly, shifting how your nervous system holds them and your mind sees them, so they stop running the show.
Over time, your window of tolerance widens. Things that used to send you into shutdown or overdrive start to feel manageable — in your body, not just in your head.
"Changing isn't a straight line. But working with your nervous system and mindset means every step you take actually sticks."
Studies have explored the efficacy of Somatic Experiencing in treating PTSD — with meaningful, measurable results.
Large effect sizes were found for reduction in PTSD symptoms — meaning the results weren't subtle. Participants experienced meaningful, measurable change.
Beyond PTSD, participants also showed significant improvement in depression — reflecting the whole-body, interconnected nature of how Somatic Experiencing works.

Research on vagal tone (VT) — a key marker of nervous system regulation — shows it has far-reaching effects on cognition, emotion, and stress response. Kok & Fredrickson (2010) found that higher vagal tone is directly linked to improved self-regulation capacity.
Individuals with high vagal tone show superior performance across multiple indices of cognitive flexibility — the ability to adapt thinking in response to new information.
Higher vagal tone is associated with better working memory — the system your brain uses to hold and manipulate information in the moment. Especially relevant for ADHD.
People with higher vagal tone show fewer negative responses to environmental stressors — meaning a regulated nervous system actively buffers you against the impact of stress.
High vagal tone is linked to significantly greater self-regulatory capacity overall — the ability to manage your emotions, behaviour and attention. This is exactly what somatic work builds over time.
Fill in the form and I'll get back to you within 48 hours to find a time that works. No pressure, no sales pitch — just a conversation.
The discovery call is completely free and there's no obligation. It's just a chance to talk, and for both of us to see if working together makes sense.
