Trauma-trained Somatic Practitioner
Myofascial Energetic Release bodyworker
I work with mothers who've done enough talking and know the holding pattern is in their body now.
You understand the survival pattern and the behaviors that come with it: people-pleasing, high-functioning, control, withdrawal, rage. But you can't stop running it.
You need someone who can work at the level where the tension and armoring are actually held: jaw, chest, pelvis, lower-back, and change the behaviours behind it.
The fascia and the nervous system.
That's where the childhood pattern lives.
That's where we work.
YOUR THERAPIST CAN'T FIX THIS
Because the yelling, the shutdown, the people-pleasing, the chronic tension in your shoulders, none of it is happening because you don't understand why you do it.
It's happening because your fascia and nervous system are still running the childhood blueprint where putting yourself first wasn't safe.
You've done the therapy explained yoru attachment style. The podcasts highlighted your trauma. Brene Brown skilled you in boundaries (even though you still struggle to hold them).
The insight is there.
But your body is still doing it anyway.
You're still yelling at your kids and carrying the shame for the rest of the day. You're still saying yes when you mean no and resenting everyone for needing you. You're still chlenching, holding your breath, waiting for the next thing. Your shoulders are up by your ears and you've forgotten what your body feels like without the tension.
The talking didn't translate into freedom because the body is holding what language can't access.
Here's what actually changes it:
Fascial unwinding and nervous system work that let your body complete what was never safe to express in the first place.
You don't need more insight or better coping strategies.
You need a different blueprint in your body.
I work with mothers who've done enough talking.
You know the holding pattern is in your body now.
You understand the survival mechanism but can't stop running it.
You need someone who can work at the level where the armoring is actually stored.
Fascia.
Nervous system.
That's where the childhood pattern lives.
That's where we work.
What becomes possible
You stop yelling at your kids because your nervous system isn't running the same threat response it learned when you were seven.
You hold a boundary with your teenager without collapsing because your body no longer believes that disappointing someone else is dangerous.
You tell your husband you're not having sex with him, even though it causes a big reaction, and you don't fold. You don't soften it to manage his feelings. You stay with your need.
Your seven-year-old mirrors you. When you're in your body, feeling stable and less anxious, her separation anxiety softens. She relaxes because you're regulated.
Your body stops being the thing you're trying to escape.
Your shoulders drop.
You can feel your feet on the ground.
You're breathing without having to remember to breathe.
You're finally feeling stable and like you can hold the intensity of your life including your kids, parents, school meetings and the business you're building.
Start here
Your jaw is doing your core's job.
That's not a metaphor.
When your core isn't online, your jaw substitutes.
It clamps, braces and holds the tension your diaphragm and pelvic floor should be managing.
Activate your core, and your jaw releases.
It's not about a new mouth guard -- it's about giving your nervous system a different option.
I'll show you how in 90 seconds.

Working with Amanda has changed everything for me.
I'm back in my body & truly feeling again having lived my whole life in survival - I had numbed myself in many ways. I was parenting from a place from disconnect, I was being a wife from a place of people pleasing- I didn't know who l was, what I wanted. Through learning more about my nervous system with you, working through my trauma, stuck emotions.... I now feel free, unbound & empowered. I am connecting with my child from a place of capacity, l'm setting healthy boundaries with loved ones & l've retrained in something that lights the fire in my soul Thank you. It's been a life changing experience and I appreciate you & the work you do immensely ❤️ Fiona
