Holistic Anxiety treatment Melbourne
using somatic therapy for lasting relief
Feeling constantly on edge, unable to relax or find peace? Anxiety is not just in your mind. It affects your whole body, from your
nervous system and digestion to your sleep, energy, work and relationships. At B.ME Lifestyle I use an integrative approach with Somatic Therapy, Sound and Nutritional Therapy, Nervous System Rewiring, and Lifestyle Coaching to help you reconnect to your body restore lasting calm, clarity, and confidence.
How Somatic Therapy Supports Anxiety treatment
Somatic therapy gently guides your awareness into the body so the nervous system can reorganise into a state of safety and flow.
This supports
- Mental and emotional clarity and stability
- Steady breathing and heart rhythm
- Relaxed muscles and posture
- Improved sleep quality, hormonal balance and digestion
- Confidence and wellbeing
Somatic Therapy helps your body become a place of comfort and support and a safe platform for your adventures.
Anxiety symptoms somatic therapy helps with
Persistent worry, racing thoughts, overthinking, difficulty focusing, and feeling mentally scattered or disconnected from others.
Pounding heart, shallow breathing, digestive discomfort, muscle tightness, reduced physical performance, and a constant sense of being on edge
Restlessness, disrupted sleep, waking with fear or unease, fluctuating energy, and hormonal shifts that amplify nervous system sensitivity
Patterns of perfectionism, people pleasing, or suppressed trauma and emotions that fuel anxiety.

Relief from anxiety using somatic therapy
Thank you Anca! I started seeing Anca at a very difficult time and found her support and encouragement truly helpful! Nothing is more important than your health, mental and physical. I have learnt so much about the foods I am eating, how they affect my moods and how I can take better care of the choices I make, not only for me but for my family.

I have been introduced to Anca a few months ago when I was struggling with my gut problem. Even tho there is a huge distance between us (me in Europe, and she in Australia), we make it possible via Zoom. She is the most amazing, genuine, kind, and knowledgeable nutritionist. She has provided me with education, counselling, she provided great guidance when I was struggling with anxiety and stress, and we work together on my diet plan. Because of her, I didn’t improve just my gut problem, but even my mental state of mind.
I highly recommend her and I’m very grateful for meeting her.
Vlad
Fabulous service - thorough from start to finish with great interpersonal skills. Anca has helped me and my kids back to good health through diet, supplements and general lifestyle adaptation. She made it easy.

what causes anxiety
- Nutrient deficiencies (magnesium, zinc, B vitamins, iron, omega-3s)
- Hormonal and gut imbalances (inflammation, dysbiosis, gut infections, perimenopause, PMS, PMDD)
- Chronic stress and unresolved childhood, relational, medical or accident trauma which results in nervous system dysregulation and body disconnection
- Limiting believes, perfectionism, people-pleasing and suppressed emotions
That’s why one-size-fits-all talk therapy often falls short. We need to work with the full system brain, body, emotions, and energy and address the root cause if we are to achieve lasting relief.
Sound therapy supports the nervous system through vibration and frequency. It helps the brain and body synchronise and settle, making it easier to release tension and restore balance.
When combined with somatic therapy, sound allows anxiety to soften without force or effort.
Your nervous system relies on nutrients to stay balanced. Blood sugar instability, gut issues, changing microbiome and nutrient deficiencies can increase anxiety and emotional reactivity.
Nutritional therapy supports your brain and body so your anxiety treatment is more stable and long lasting.
FAQ -Anxiety counselling in Melbourne
What makes your approach to anxiety treatment different from traditional therapy?
At BME Lifestyle, I treat anxiety by working with the body and nervous system, not just the mind. My approach combines somatic therapy, nutritional support, lifestyle changes and emotional processing to address the root causes of anxiety. This allows for deeper and more lasting relief, rather than just learning to cope with symptoms.
How does somatic therapy help with anxiety?
Somatic therapy helps regulate the nervous system by releasing stored tension and calming the body's stress response. Many people with anxiety feel stuck in survival mode. By helping your body feel safe again, somatic therapy supports a more grounded and balanced emotional state.
What role does nutrition play in anxiety recovery?
Nutritional imbalances can directly affect mood, energy and brain chemistry. Deficiencies in nutrients like magnesium, B vitamins, iron and omega 3s are common in those experiencing anxiety. I help you restore balance through personalised nutrition and support gut health, blood sugar stability and energy regulation.
Who can benefit from your anxiety treatment consultations in Melbourne?
I support adults who experience chronic worry, panic, overwhelm, restlessness or emotional disconnection. Whether you are managing generalised anxiety, health anxiety, social anxiety or just feel stuck in your own mind and body, this approach can help you feel more grounded and in control.
What happens in a typical anxiety treatment session at BME Lifestyle?
We begin with a full assessment of your physical, emotional and lifestyle patterns. From there, I create a personalised plan that may include somatic therapy, nervous system regulation, nutritional guidance and self-care strategies. Each session is adapted to support where you are at that day.
Do you offer online anxiety treatment consultations or just in Melbourne?
I offer both in-person sessions in Melbourne and online consultations across Australia. This gives you flexibility and consistent support no matter where you are located.
