Improve Emotional Management
a powerful combination of traditional psycho-analytic talk therapy with specific therapeutic body movements and expressions that leave you feeling more ease, flow and connection.
Izabella’s work in this area is nothing short of profound. I have had 3 sessions and the difference I feel in my body is like nothing I have EVER experienced before. I highly recommend her work. She is wonderful – JUST DO IT!
Process stuck fight or flight arousal or freeze in your body which leaves you withdrawn /numb or over-stimulated and anxious. We’ll work together to safely integrate the event or developmental trauma so you can move out of survival mode into more ease and relaxation.
Transform the old, unconscious material that’s lodged in your cells whose familiarity contributes to the repetition of unhealthy behaviours and relating patterns. Somatic Psychotherapy employs a whole-bodied, expressive approach which taps into the stuck emotions and energy, in order to release both.
Experience a safe, trusting space that allows for the building of a healthy therapeutic relationship. Have the corrective emotional experiences with your therapist that may have been missing in your formative years. With these new imprints upon your body, your ability to process emotions, handle stress, change and relational conflict can be significantly enhanced.
As emotional blocks are processed more energy becomes available to fulfill your blueprint, your reason for being. To live out your true expression into outer reality is to be fulfilled and happy. Your psychotherapy sessions will support you to access this integrated, enlivened state.
Herbal, nutritional, naturopathic advice and supplementation may be given to support anxiety, low mood, insomnia, neurotransmitter imbalances, digestive system dysregulation, stress and debility of the nervous system that typically occurs alongside PTSD and trauma events. If you are interested in this as part of your rehabilitation please be sure to mention this in any of your somatic psychotherapy sessions.
I would like to acknowledge the incredible work that Izabella Siodmak is doing with me. I am moving towards a better way of being. Izabella is incredible, her gentle and insightful presence is a wonderful way to release all my trapped ‘stuff’ that clouds my authentic self shining through and moving forward. I can fully recommend sessions with Izabella. I feel safe and I let go.
I’ve been facilitating 1 on 1 residential retreats in the beautiful mountains of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland since 2003. With a degree in Biochemistry and an initial background as a naturopath, herbalist and nutritionist my focus then turned to Emotional Wellness in response to the imminent sharing of painful, traumatic experiences and shedding of emotions that retreat clients were naturally expressing during their retreat.
Somatic (Body) Psychotherapy became the choice of therapy to train in, in order to best serve my clients’ healing. I also undertook Exceptional Marriage Mentoring Certification so I can facilitate effective couples counselling therapy. In your Individual or Couples sessions with me you can expect to safely free up more energy, let go into your authenticity and develop a deeper connection with yourself and loved ones.
My Main Qualifications include:
Izabella is amazing. She targets the emotional and physical blocks to get the depression and anxiety out of my mind and body. I feel lighter and clearer after each session with her, and it lasts. Izabella really has saved my life in recent months, and I’m so grateful that I have her to help me get past traumas out of my mind, heart and body for good.
