hey, I’m Caroline
For as long as I can remember, I’ve felt everything deeply. My emotions, other people’s emotions, even the energy in the room – it all felt overwhelming, and like it was too much for me to bear.
People would tell me I was “too sensitive” or “too emotional” and I believed them. I thought something was wrong with me—why couldn’t I just brush things off like everyone else seemed to? Why did I always feel so deeply, so much, all the time?
In my teens and 20s, those feelings spiralled into challenges that consumed my life. I dealt with anxiety, depression and an eating disorder, trying everything to feel better. Labels and medication didn’t bring relief. Talk therapy helped me understand myself better, but it didn’t change the way I felt in my body. I still carried the same triggers, reactions and patterns that kept me stuck.
I remember the everyday struggles: snapping at my loved ones and feeling ashamed afterwards, overthinking every conversation until I couldn’t sleep, and feeling exhausted from being “on” all the time but unable to let myself rest.
Things began to shift in 2017 when I discovered Vedic meditation. For the first time, I experienced a reprieve from the relentless anxiety that had consumed my life for over a decade. Meditation became a daily practice that brought me moments of peace, improved my sleep and helped me start feeling like I knew who I was.
The transformation I experienced through meditation was so significant that I became a teacher in 2020 to fulfil my desire to share the meditation practice that helped me so much, with others. While meditation wasn’t the final step in my reconnection to self, it laid a solid foundation for everything that came after. It gave me the clarity to start looking deeper, to face the internal patterns that caused me so much angst and frustration.
It wasn’t until I discovered somatics during a challenging time that everything began to change. While meditation had helped me for many years, I came to realise there were deeper layers of emotion and patterns from the past still held in my body.
These layers, even after years of consistent daily meditation, continued impacting me in ways I hadn’t fully understood.
Through one-to-one somatic (body-led) work, I learned how to digest the emotional weight I’d been carrying for years and the patterns that made me feel stuck in old cycles and disconnected from my worth. Instead of just trying to “manage” my triggers and reactions, I learnt how to give my body the opportunity to digest the imprints of past experiences that caused these reactions—so they no longer ruled me.
What started as support to help me navigate a difficult time turned into something bigger: feeling like I finally understood myself and my body. Feeling a natural sense of confidence return. Cultivating an unshakeable sense of stability and grounding in my system. For the first time, I wasn’t weighed down by old emotion or caught in the same frustrating cycles.
Through my training as a somatic coach and my own personal experience, I came to see that tools are only the first step. The real transformation happens when we reconnect our the human instincts we were born with—for discernment, nourishment, connection, drive, authenticity and self-expression. When we learn how to live from our bodies and hearts, and no longer from our minds and the imprints of our past experiences.
The turning point
I know what it’s like to feel like your emotions and reactions are too much. Like you’re carrying the weight of the world, and you don’t know how to put it down. I know how lonely and exhausting it can feel to believe you're stuck in feelings or cycles that you don’t know how to get out of.
That’s why I’m here - to help you reconnect with what is already within you. To help you live from your body and your instincts in a way that feels natural, empowered and nourishing for you,
My gentle, body-led approach will support your system to gently unravel the weight you’ve been carrying, cultivate a deep sense of self-connection and feel at home in your body.
why i do this work
I combine many years of training and formal education with my own lived experience and devotion to my own embodiment with my practitioners.
My work is about so much more than processing your emotions. It connects the dots between your mind, body and nervous system, helping you digest the emotional weight and nervous system patterning of the past and make lasting changes to the way you show up, moment by moment, in your life. Like trusting the sense you get in your body about something over others’ opinions without second-guessing yourself, staying grounded when your child or co-worker tests your patience or communicating your needs, decisions and limits with confidence.
