Trauma Release and Energy Clearing Bodywork - with Tia✨
Your body is trying to tell you something.
People usually find their way to me when they feel entirely blocked—in pain, depleted, or completely overwhelmed, and having already tried everything else.
It is mind-blowing what our physical cells hold onto: our deepest patterns, forgotten memories, old emotions, and the generational stories passed down through our ancestors.
In my experience, most of us just need a safe catalyst to drop beneath the surface and access what we are holding onto at a cellular level. Given the right space, your body will immediately start to speak, showing you exactly how to release the old and initiate pathways for healing.
My Signature Bodywork Treatment is a powerful, intuitive method I’ve developed over 16 years of practice. It is a deeply holistic approach that simultaneously re-aligns your physical body, clears emotional blockages, and activates your subtle energy systems all at once.
Together, we will re-wire the patterns keeping you stagnant. We will melt away physical pain and gently open your energetic channels—plugging you straight back into your own radiant, juicy, and creative life-force energy.
What I Work With
Some people arrive with persistent physical pain. Others are weighed down by emotional armor they’ve held onto for years. Many simply feel numb and disconnected from the magic of their own body. (I’ve been all of these!)
Often there's a gap between what someone thinks in their head and what they feel inside inside their body. This work bridges that gap.
Whether you are navigating a recent health scare, integrating a diagnosis, or finally ready to face the energetic blocks you have put off for years, this space is for you.
What we are truly craving in these moments isn't just relief—it is the freedom to feel completely at home in our own skin again. I’ve found that the second someone melts onto the table and gives themselves absolute permission to feel, a breathtaking clarity and re-connection to Self arrives.
People are consistently blown away by how much heavy energy can shift, leaving them instantly grounded, deeply restored, and ready to face the world again.
Tia's sessions have changed my life in ways I never thought imaginable. I've had a long journey of self-discovery after leaving a highly stressful role, and Tia has been an invaluable guide over 2 years supporting me during that transition.
The level of skill, kindness, and expertise that Tia provides is incredible. I feel more connected to my self, have greatly improved my relationship with my son and partner and have awakened a writer in me! She has also resolved many niggly physical conditions that weren't resolved through other modalities. I am so grateful for the healing and coaching that Tia has brought into my life and definitely recommend her.

What a Session Looks Like
You choose what feels most supportive for your comfort—this work can be done fully clothed, or directly on the skin using elements of massage and oil (if suitable for you).
Once on the table, your body shows me where and how it would like to release. I will share what I am noticing, and together, we might tap into gentle breath, light sound, or subtle movement to help shift the block that is ready to move, alongside physical and subtle body manipulations.
Throughout the session you are welcome to share anything that comes up, or simply dissolve into the table, relax, and receive.
This work is deeply trauma-informed, which means your nervous system is always the boss. We'll move at your pace and never force a breakthrough. At times we patiently listen, allowing the body to open up in its own time until it is naturally ready to let go.
Every single session is a unique experience, but the ultimate intention is always the same: to make your body feel safe enough to completely surrender, unlock its life-force, and come back to balance and harmony.
✨ A Moment of Real-World Magic
I’ll never forget a client who had a significant fall right after leaving our session. She reached out to tell me it felt miraculous—she felt as though she had a protective shield around her, allowing her to fall in a way that caused no harm to her body. When your nervous system is deeply regulated and you are truly home in your skin, your body develops a profound, instinctive resilience that carries you through the unexpected.

A Note on Trauma
Trauma isn’t always what people think it is.
It’s not just big events. It can be physical, emotional/mental experiences we've gone through that weren’t fully processed at the time.
Most people don’t realise that the chronic exhaustion, tension, or disconnect they feel today actually has roots in those impactful experiences we've gone through.
The beautiful thing about this work? We don’t need to drag you back into the past, dissect the memories, or analyse the story. As a trained counsellor and coach, I provide a deeply safe, grounded space to talk things through whenever you need to—but your body already knows exactly what to do. Creating a sacred container for your physical and emotional self to speak is more than enough to begin.
Supporting healing from sexual trauma
This somatic approach can be a deeply supportive catalyst for those navigating sexual trauma—helping to dissolve hypervigilance, settle the nervous system, and restore a beautiful sense of safety, pleasure, and genuine connection inside your skin.
Please note: This is not sexological bodywork, and I never work directly with sexual trauma through touch.
Even with this absolute respect for your boundaries, the energetic and physical shifts that occur on the table are incredibly profound. You don’t have to carry the old weight forever—true, meaningful relief and a return to your natural radiance are completely possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this just a massage? How is this bodywork different?
You can choose to remain fully clothed or receive touch directly on the body in my sessions.
While I use elements of massage when working directly on skin, which is designed to anchor absolute safety and connection—the real magic happens when we layer in powerful energy clearing, somatic trauma release, and targeted counseling support. Together, these elements don't just relax your muscles; they create deep healing and lasting transformation for body/mind/soul.
What modalities is this work based on?
My approach is a potent synthesis of energy medicine, somatic psychology, and advanced bodywork—honed over 23 years of deep study and practice. This is backed by an extensive foundation in energetic and body-based therapies, including two years of intensive energy cultivation at the world-renowned Berkeley Psychic Institute, the ancient healing of Chi Nei Tsang Bodywork, the muscle-meridian balancing of Touch for Health Kinesiology, and the neuroscience of mBraining nervous system retraining plus more.

How exactly do your sessions support me, and what else do you recommend to address deep health issues?
My approach is based on Eastern philosophy which looks at the body as a whole and weaves together your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing. My treatments are holistic and support the following:
Emotional Release: Safely unburdening the old feelings stored in your tissue.
Nervous System Support: Shifting you out of survival-mode and into deep rest.
Trauma Resolution: Releasing survival patterns holding you back.
Physical Decongestion: Melting away chronic muscle tension and body armor.
Subtle Energy Alignment: Clearing stuck blocks to restore your vital flow.
Vibrant Radiance: Improving your sleep, reducing stress, and elevating your mindset.
A Team Approach to Your Health
If you are navigating complex, severe, or chronic health issues, my somatic work serves as a powerful catalyst alongside other therapies. For a truly full-bodied recovery, I highly recommend building a team around yourself. This includes getting comprehensive blood work done through a functional medicine GP, and partnering with an Integrative Health Practitioner who can optimize your nutrition, movement, supplements, and detox pathways (like heavy metal removal).
Together, we address the physical, energetic, and chemical layers to bring you completely back to life.
Do I need to have experienced trauma to benefit?
Not at all. Many people come with physical pain, low energy, stress or a general sense of being stuck — without any clear idea of what's causing it. Trauma is simply anything the body is still holding from a past experience. You don't need to know what yours is or have a name for it.
How will I know if this is right for me?
Trust your gut when choosing any practitioner to work with. If you'd like to talk things through before booking, you're more than welcome to reach out and ask further questions.
What should I wear / how do I prepare?
Come as you are — there's no special preparation needed. If we're working over clothes, something comfortable and light is ideal so you can relax fully on the table. If we're working directly on the skin, you'll keep your undergarments on and be covered throughout. I'll talk you through everything before we begin so you always know what to expect.
What if I cry or have an emotional response?
It’s completely welcome — all of it. Tears, laughter, sound, whatever needs to come through. I've seen it all and gone through a lot of trauma release myself personally, so I'm very experienced in holding space for the release of deep emotions, pain etc.
Do you work with men?
Absolutely — Many men respond deeply to this work, often experiencing a level of support and connection they haven’t had before.
The sensitive, caring touch in a safe and completely non-sexual environment can be profound — sometimes surprisingly so.
If you're a man considering this work and not sure what to expect, you're very welcome to reach out before booking.
Are sessions of an intimate or sexual nature?
This work can feel personal and intimate, but it is not sexual and does not involve genital touch.
Clear boundaries are always maintained, and your comfort and safety come first.
How many sessions will I need?
That depends on you — your goals, your body, and how often you’d like to come.
There’s no set program or pressure to commit. After your first session, I’ll offer a recommendation based on what I’ve sensed — and from there, it’s entirely your choice.
Do you offer concession pricing?
Yes — concession rates are available for those who need them. Please mention this when you reach out and we'll find something that works.
Where are you based and when are you available?
I am currently floating between spaces and shifting locations! Because my studio layout is evolving, please get in touch with me directly to find out where I’m currently treating. I will be updating my permanent location details here very soon.
