About

Human Embraced exists to support people to change their lives - and to feel seen, heard, and held in all their humanness

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 feel more joy, ease, and vitality in your everyday life. I care deeply about connecting with your essence and supporting this part of you to flourish.

I work with the whole human - body, mind, and energy - and all parts of you are welcome with me. Your life - and how it actually feels to live it -matters.

If we were in a room together, you’d likely experience me as warm, steady, and authentic, with a strong, grounded presence. I’m gentle and supportive, but also playful and direct. You’d probably notice that humour is a big part of how I relate to people. I believe self-development can be both deeply challenging and genuinely fun.

While you may experience me this way now - as someone who is vibrant, competent, and grounded - this hasn’t always been the case.

Before I found somatic psychotherapy, I was often anxious, overwhelmed, exhausted, confused, tense, hopeless, and lonely. I felt estranged from myself and others, and 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.

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 fosters meaningful change and how to live a life with more pleasure, purpose, ease, and connection.

The way I support you is shaped by my formal training. I draw on training in body-based somatic psychotherapy, psychology, communication, and human services to support 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.”
