You’re self-aware, capable and
high-functioning - yet, the same relational or chronic stress patterns keep returning.
You’re not broken and you’re not doing anything wrong.
You may understand what's happening and why, but your body hasn’t caught up and patterns keep repeating.
I work with women who are insightful, capable, and self-aware — yet still find relationships effortful, anxiety hard to manage, or experience themselves people-pleasing, feeling disconnected, reactive, or unsure how to express their needs in a healthy way.
My work is especially supportive for women who want a more embodied, practical way of working through change and receiving support. You desire to work in a way that shifts how you experience anxiety and stress in your body.
Maya Brstilo, MPCC-P
Master Practitioner of Clinical Counselling
As a somatic practitioner, I have deep respect for the resilience it takes to carry so much for so long.
When you’re often the steady and capable one, it can begin to take a toll - not only mentally, but also physically in the body. There may be a tension that doesn’t fully leave. A sense of bracing. A nervous system that rarely settles.
Through somatic therapy, we gently begin noticing how stress and past experiences are being held in the body - in your breath, posture, and the quiet ways you feel yourself bracing. We move slowly and with care, allowing your body to be part of the healing process, rather than something to push through. As we do, there is often a natural softening that occurs.
Sessions are 75 minutes, allowing us to slow down and make room for embodied healing.
