Somatic Therapy & Coaching for People Who Are Done Just Surviving.
Your nervous system learned to protect you. Now it's time to teach it something new.
Not sure if this is right for you? We'll figure that out together.
Something keeps
pulling you back
to the same place.
You've worked hard to understand yourself. And yet the same patterns show up. In relationships. At work. In your body.
Understanding alone isn't enough. The part that needs to shift isn't in your thinking. It's held deeper.
This work is for people who are ready to go there, at the pace their system can handle.
"Nothing about you is broken. Every pattern that troubles you once kept you safe."
- 01Chronic stress, anxiety, or permanent overwhelm
- 02Burnout that rest doesn't seem to fix
- 03Emotional numbness or disconnection from yourself
- 04Relationship patterns you understand but can't shift
- 05People pleasing, a harsh inner critic, or persistent shame
- 06A trauma history, or a sense the past is still in the room
- 07Somatic symptoms: tension, pain, gut issues, disrupted sleep
- 08A quiet feeling that something more is possible
What does your journey need?
For when something is in the way. Chronic stress, old wounds, emotional patterns that talking hasn't shifted. We work with the body, not just the story.
- Nervous system stabilisation
- Trauma-informed parts work (IFS)
- Compassionate Inquiry Informed
- Safe & Sound Protocol (SSP)
For when you're functional but constrained. You're performing, but it's costing you. We work on the nervous system patterns underneath the behaviour, so growth actually sticks.
- Burnout prevention & recovery
- Leadership presence & decisions
- Habit & pattern change
- Transition & identity work
This isn't
just talking.
Talk alone can take you far. It can explain the pattern, name the wound, map the history. But the body stores what words can't always reach. Somatic work listens to what the body is holding, and helps it let go. Not through force. Through safety, curiosity, and pace.
"I am not here to fix you. I am here to sit with you while you remember you were never broken."John Cummins
Compassionate Inquiry Informed
Brings gentle awareness to the beliefs and survival patterns formed in early life, without blame or confrontation.
Internal Family Systems
Works with the different parts within you: protective parts and exiled emotions, with compassion and curiosity.
Safe & Sound Protocol
Grounded in Polyvagal Theory. A non-invasive acoustic intervention that shifts the nervous system from defence toward connection and capacity.
Somatic Coaching
Strategy meets nervous system regulation. We look at what you're trying to build, and the pattern in the body that makes it hard. When that shifts, behaviour follows.

I am truly grateful for the profound and transformative experience with John. I felt seen, heard and emotionally held every step of the way. He was the potent mirror I needed on my healing journey to move into a deep state of witnessing and acceptance.
His unique approach was exactly what I needed. His questions were thought-provoking and insightful. After just a few sessions I can see a different way forward.
John guided me into deeper awareness of how emotional patterns were living in my body. He helped me recognise and befriend these parts rather than judge or resist them. His presence opened doors I didn't know were closed.

A guide who is
still doing the
work himself.
I came to this work from the inside. My path through medical science, corporate finance, and eventually somatic therapy taught me something that two decades of clinical training alone couldn't: that the body keeps the record long after the mind has moved on.
I don't sit outside your experience and analyse it. I meet you inside it. With curiosity. With compassion. And with the understanding that every pattern you carry once kept you safe.
I am a facilitator, not a guru. You do the work. I hold the space for it.
