About

Hi, I’m Jasmine, a Somatic Psychotherapist and the creator of Human Embraced.

At the heart of my work is a desire to support you to experience more joy, ease, and vitality in your everyday life. I care deeply about connecting with your essence and supporting you to explore and embrace all parts of yourself.

I work with the whole human: body, mind, and energy and bring a lightness and humour to how we work together. Your life, and how it actually feels to live it, matters.

Before I found somatic psychotherapy, I was often anxious, overwhelmed, exhausted, confused, tense, hopeless, and lonely. I felt estranged from myself and others. I spent a lot of time criticising myself and my body, living a life that felt awful even when it looked okay from the outside.

Through my own journey with Body Psychotherapy, I have learned to move through life with a greater sense of ease, purpose, and joy. I have meaningful relationships with people I love who add value to my life, and I enjoy my body and how it feels to be me.

These days, I spend my time supporting others, reading, playing basketball, lifting heavy things, singing, eating delicious food, napping, spending time at the beach, and exploring different places. My life now is incredibly meaningful and pleasurable.

My deeply personal journey is what sparked my passion for this work. Through study, workshops, and a wide range of healing and support practices, I’ve developed a deep understanding of what can foster meaningful change and help us create lives with more pleasure, purpose, ease, and connection.

The way I support you is shaped by my formal training in body-based somatic psychotherapy, psychology, communication, and human services. This allows me to work with people at many different stages of life and in many different seasons of their journey.

“Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It’s a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well, can we be present with the darkness of others.”
