Healing School
Healing School is for women who are ready to free themselves from the cage that is sexual violence trauma.
Healing School allows you to rebuild your relationship with yourself and others—being guided within a seven-unit framework, you will choose how and when you participate. Your journey at your pace but not on your own. No waiting lists, no doctors that aren't trauma-informed and no triggers. You're healing made a priority alongside a safe and understanding community. A place where you are supported to find peace of mind and build good feelings and experiences
"There's no explaining the world, .... How you come into it. Where you find yourself. Or who your friends turn out to be...."

What You Can Expect
When you choose to work with me, you get a woman who knows what it takes and what it feels like to take this journey.
Healing School is a comprehensive trauma-informed programme specifically for female victims and survivors of sexual violence. The aim is simple, to give you access to everything you need to know about sexual violence trauma, to support you to face the impact sexual violence had on you and the knowledge and self-belief to overcome it.
Many women choose Healing School because they acknowledge that trauma healing can take longer than we'd like. That is why Healing School, your community and I will be walking with you for the next year. Healing School is made to be taken at your own pace but not on your own. You are in charge of your healing because agency is an important part of healing sexual violence trauma
In my experience women ready to join Healing School feel the driving need to free themselves from the cage that is sexual violence trauma. They often tell me that they feel like they've been carrying a heavy load which they didn't realise the weight of until working through Healing School's Modules and units. And that's the joy of working in a fierce female community, we collectively help you lift the invisible boulder from your shoulders.
Healing School's aim is to enable you to let go of shame and blame. To encourage you to love and accept yourself, have the peace you desire, move forward with your healing and feel like yourself again. For some women that looks like confidence, being able to go out into the world without fear, chasing your dreams and building connected relationships. Whatever you want from your healing, Healing School is set up to help you achieve that.
How It Works
The Healing School Programme lasts for twelve months, with the opportunity to renew your membership or work with me one-to-one if you wish. The Modules are split into seven units which cover Symptoms, Feelings and Emotions, Reconnecting With Pleasure and Joy, Finding your Voice, Inner Child Work, Negative Inner Commentary, Feminism and Self Worth. When you join you get full access to all course materials, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

A Bit About Me
Since disclosing, I have been obsessed with all things related to the trauma caused by sexual violence. I am spurred on by seeing how many victims and survivors' experiences are belittled and downplayed. I dislike with a passion how women, who had been subjected to the worst of survivable crimes, are being expected to carry on as if they have no thoughts and feelings about what happened. It isn't right that women

deny how they feel; it isn't right that women feel like they have to pretend. Over and over again, I saw women and girls being told that they were depressed, anxious, too much, not enough, unpredictable, unreliable or had to pull themselves together. When the real reason - sexual violence - was not being acknowledged. I see women blaming themselves for feeling angry, crying all the time, feeling like they're not good enough no matter what they do and trying to work around self-esteem, time management, people-pleasing when the real issue is undiagnosed trauma caused by sexual violence. It's not women who are wrong; it's not how women are expressing or experiencing their thoughts and feelings that are wrong. What is wrong is that the trauma caused by sexual violence is not recognised by our friends, family, GP's, the Police, our communities, judicial systems, HR departments, or educational systems.
It was then that it became my passion to CHANGE THE WORLD and right these wrongs.
I work with my clients to make sure they understand the complexities of sexual violence trauma, that they have the tools to help them through overwhelm, triggers and flashbacks, that they understand how their nervous system has changed as a result of what happened and how to mend it. I help my clients create a life for themselves that feels safe, and then I take it one step further by encouraging them to flourish. It's a beautiful journey and one that I am always humbled to be trusted and chosen for.
Healing School has the capacity to give you access to healing without waiting lists. That means you can join today and start your journey. I know it's a big step, but I promise you this will be the most worthwhile work you will ever do.
