The Aurora Method.
The Aurora Method is a somatic energy practice. It brings together Spinal Energetics, breathwork and somatic awareness to give your body the time, space and capacity to process what it’s been carrying.
When life has kept us in survival mode for too long, our energy can become stagnant. It shows up as tension, bracing, numbness or a sense of being overwhelmed by what we feel. This work isn’t about getting rid of anything. It’s about building your capacity to hold more, so your body can move through it in its own time.
What a session is like
Every session is unique, because every body is unique. We all carry different life experiences and different stories. If you choose to do a series of sessions, you’ll notice each one is unique for you too.
We begin by bringing your attention to your breath and your body. From there, your body leads the way. As a somatic energy practitioner, there are certain things I look for and feel for in the body, and I follow what your system is showing me. Your body will only go where it’s ready to go.
As we strengthen your mind body connection and you drop deeper into your felt sense, your nervous system can begin to shift states. It starts to ease out of survival mode and find its way back towards balance. For some people that comes with movement, emotion or sensation. For others it’s a quiet sense of being more present than they’ve felt in a long time. There’s no right way for it to look.
So many of us have learned to look outside ourselves for answers. This work brings you back to your own inner knowing. It’s not something I do to you. It’s a practice of reconnecting with yourself, your truth and your own essence, with support every step of the way. You stay in control the whole way through.

What is The Aurora Method?
-
The Aurora Method is a somatic energy practice and a trauma informed, nervous system based approach. Rather than only talking through what’s happened, we work from the body up, with what you’re actually feeling in the moment. It sits beautifully alongside talk therapy, or can be the next layer when talking alone hasn’t shifted things.
-
It’s for anyone carrying more than they should have to. People moving through burnout, overwhelm, grief, big life changes or a quiet sense of disconnection. It’s for those who have lost touch with their own inner knowing and are ready to come back to themselves. Many of my clients have done years of inner work and still feel something isn’t quite moving. No experience needed. Just come as you are.
-
Energy isn’t as mysterious as it sounds. Your body is made of it. It’s in every heartbeat, breath, movement and emotion you feel. When we’ve lived in survival mode for long periods, that energy can become stagnant, and we feel it as tension, exhaustion or disconnection.
This work is about deepening your connection to your own energy and giving it the space to flow again. Nothing external is called in. We’re working with your body, your breath and your own energetic field. Your system already knows how to process what it’s been holding. My role is to create the safety, time and space for that to happen.
-
Some people feel a real shift after just one session. But this isn’t a one session fix. Building capacity takes time, and each session builds on the last. It’s clients who come back for a series of sessions who tend to have the deepest and longest lasting changes. That’s why I offer value packs, so you can give your body the time it needs.
What clients often notice
Everyone’s experience is unique to them. However here are some of the shifts clients often notice:
—> Feeling calmer and more at ease in everyday life
—> More capacity to feel without being overwhelmed
—> A deeper connection to their body and felt sense
—> Clearer boundaries and less people pleasing
—> Trusting their own inner knowing again
—> Feeling more like themselves
—> More clarity around what it is they want in life
You don’t need to know what’s “wrong” or have the “right” words for it. Your body will lead the way.
I’m a Spinal Energetics practitioner, and my training also includes breathwork, Jax Energetics, somatic practices and NLP. The Aurora Method weaves these into one integrated approach, shaped by years of client work and my own healing. Every session is personalised, because your body and your story are your own.
