Somatic therapy consultations Noosa

What if therapy could be fun? Rather than feeling exposed, drained and confused you can leave feeling empowered, clear, confident and excited about what life and the next session has to offer? Yes this is possible, as somatic therapy doesn't require endless talking about all your traumas and problems, but helps you process and find your own answers by accessing the intelligence of your body. By re establishing the connection to your body and creating a safe and trusting relationship with this unconditional "friend", you can experience the freedom to be yourself, health, wellbeing and can finally get the support needed to create the life you always wanted.

If you...

struggle with anxiety, low self esteem, stress, chronic disease and pain and haven't got lasting relief, then somatic therapy is for you

Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar, OCD, PTSD,

Anxiety and low mood have become the new normal due to isolation and stress, technology, nutrient deficiencies, toxicity and a broken lifestyle that doesn't support self care. Further dealing with strong emotions and loss is not something we are taught but left to crash against when faced with them.

Relationships, Finding your purpose

Knowing who you are and feeling comfortable in your body is a prerequisite to creating healthy and lasting relationships. Understanding that the most important relationship you will ever have is the relationship with yourself will help remove the loneliness, I am not good enough story and other limitations holding you back from your greatest expression.

Chronic Disease and Pain, Medical Injury, Stress and Burnout

Medical producers can cause trauma and change the way you feel, think and act often leaving you feeling disconnected, disempowered and not like yourself. These unfortunately are poorly acknowledged and addressed in our medical or therapeutical practices leaving millions of people struggling.

Childhood trauma, Shame, Low self esteem

Our childhood attachment and experiences shapes our bodies and our perspective of the world. Dysfunctional parenting is the norm and not the exception. Therefore bringing safety back into the body is key for healing and transformation and finding your purpose.

My somatic therapy process

As dealing with personal issues, and especially trauma, can very raw, sensitive and charged with difficulty, I aim to create personalised recommendations following your initial assessment which will establish your current physical and mental health baseline and tolerance for change. Your first session seeks to understand your current mental, physical and social situation to inform nutrition, lifestyle, health and therapeutic needs.


I generally recommend resourcing and balancing the body first as inflammation, nutrient deficiencies and hormonal imbalances can throw off you ability to think, act and regulate your moods. This means that regulating your nervous system and hormones, balancing your biochemistry, reducing inflammation and/or pain by addressing your eating, sleeping, movement and interaction patterns will likely be part of our sessions.


Working with your whole self will increase your energy and speed up your healing. It also makes a big difference to how you process trauma as you need a lot of energy to do that. Feeling strong, confident and able to regulate your body before we commence this process will help you move through past difficulties with ease.


Therapy approaches I use include a blend of Brainspotting, Polyvagal Theory, Sensorimotor Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, ACT, CBT, Compassionate Inquiry, Sound Therapy blended with my unique B-ME lifestyle approach.

why conventional treatments fail

What medicine and psychology still don't acknowledge and address is that when your body is depleted and imbalanced your mind, can't function properly and you can easily become emotionally "unstable". There is a cause why you feel the way you do and quite often it has nothing to do with the mind, but instead, the gut,  your lifestyle and day-to-day habits. Did you know that 95% of your serotonin is produced in your gut, along with other important neurotransmitters?


Toxicity, digestive problems, hormonal imbalances, nutrient deficiencies and inflammation. These are the  underlying unaddressed causes for poor mental health which are most often caused by a combination of:


And so when you experience a trauma which is basically anything that overwhelms your nervous system this will have a much greater impact if you are chemically and energetically already depleted. As such looking at the big picture and addressing all factors causing disconnection and disease is key for rapid healing and lasting results. As a dietitian and somatic psychotherapist I combine the principles of nutrition, psychology, neurolinguistics programming, genetics and bio-energy to heal your body and mind to get you back to yourself and keep you there.

what my clients feel

It’s been about a couple of months seeing Anca very nice lady. I went to see Anca for anxiety depression, OCD and my sleeping.
She changed my diet and in the 2 months I’m feeling really good and am off my anti depressant tablets, sleeping has improved enormously and energy levels are fantastic.

Ben Seferler

Working with Anca has been an enlightening and exulting experience. She has a very positive and personable personality and is a highly educated, informative and gifted practitioner. She has helped me to deepen my understanding of who I am as well as release some pretty heavy grief that i was carrying. She gets 5 stars from me and comes highly recommended for people who would like to go to the next level with personal healing and soul evolution.

Ellen Dunne

Working with Anca over the last 18mo has been transformative. I will admit I was sceptical at first, my body wasn't making it easy for Anca. Then I found that the sessions seemed to untangle emotional knots I didn't even realise were affecting me. The adjustments in my energy field translated into shifts in my mental and emotional state, I am feeling lighter, mentally clearer and calmer. I highly recommend Anca for anyone who is looking for a reset, growth and healing.

NATURAL ANXIETY & DEPRESSION TREATMENT tips

Learning how to regulate and look after your body, mind, emotions, energy and environment using natural strategies is something we all should have been taught since kindergarten. Unfortunately most of us have to learn how to self care and connect to our bodies and other human beings in our adulthood when we start experiencing pain and discomfort. But better late than never... right?


Basics of self care that can help alleviate anxiety and balance your mood include:

  • Eating a healthy diet, mindfully and with respect and not skipping meals
  • Drinking the right fluids in the right amounts
  • Breathing properly, grounding, moving & exercising
  • Spending time in nature & with the people that provide support, love & connection
  • Resting, sleeping & creating time to meditate
  • Avoiding toxic exposures & environments (includes people)
  • Recognising what the body needs and how to regulate it in real time
  • Prioritising "being" over "doing" & saying NO to stress, pressures and all things that are not in alignment with what your body needs, and your health and wellbeing.
