Somatic, nervous-system-led psychotherapy for people whose bodies learned to adapt early — and who are ready to move gently toward safety, boundaries, and connection.

Welcome

This is a space for people living with the effects of early developmental and relational trauma — particularly when those experiences continue to shape how the body feels and how relationships are lived.

You may notice anxiety, shutdown, emotional reactivity, people-pleasing, difficulty with boundaries, or a sense of never quite feeling safe — even when life looks stable on the outside.

These patterns are not signs of weakness or failure.

They are nervous system responses shaped through early experience — intelligent adaptations to what was needed at the time.

Here, nothing is rushed.

Before deeper trauma or relational work can be supportive, the nervous system needs orientation, understanding, and enough safety to stay present in the body. Without this foundation, change can feel overwhelming, destabilising, or short-lived.

This space exists to meet you at that beginning — with care, clarity, and pacing that respects the body’s timing.

I am honoured you’re here.

Shalini Cameron

SOMATIC PSYCHOTHERAPIST | CLINICAL HYPNOTHERAPIST | RYT YOGA TEACHER | SOMATIC EDUCATOR

My mission is to guide you home to yourself.

For ten years, I immersed myself in movement and body-based practices, learning how the body holds stories, emotions, and wisdom that words alone can’t always reach. Five years ago, my path deepened as I stepped into trauma and somatic psychotherapy for my own personal recovery. After experiencing my own profound discovery of health and resilience, I began guiding clients through stress, recovery, and reconnection with the parts of themselves they too thought had lost.

Through this work, I discovered something life-changing: true healing begins when we learn to understand the language of our own nervous system. Our bodies hold the keys to safety, balance, and connection, both within ourselves and with others.

Somatic Psychotherapy

Somatic Psychotherapy is a body-centred form of therapy that utilises both psychotherapy and physical therapies. In addition to talk therapy, somatic therapy practitioners use mind-body exercises and other physical techniques to help release pent-up tension, such as stored survival stress, which can negatively impact a patient’s physical and emotional well-being.


Somatic Trauma Therapy

Somatic Trauma Therapy aims to guide the client through thwarted fight or flight responses and release the biophysical survival energies, which are locked into terrifying patterns of fear, anxiety, anger, shutdown and PTSD. Through a unified approach, we can assist individuals in integrating an understanding of their experiences, transgenerational trauma, and systemic forces of oppression.


Consulting

Embodiment coaching is great for anyone who wants to reduce discomfort, strain, and stress in the body and learn the science behind and how to transform negative emotional experiences, strengthen resourcefulness, create a greater sense of Self, and build resilience to life’s challenges—embracing a new beginning in a transformed body.

  • Anonymous Trauma Therapy Client

    “I began my sessions with Shalini After experiencing trauma as a result of a traumatic and shocking car accident, which was beyond comprehension. I totally froze at the events and had feelings of intense helplessness, shock, Terror and flashbacks.

    I can only say that my trauma-healing session with Shalini was an unbelievably amazing experience.

    Having worked with Shalini for many weeks, she suggested a trauma healing session, which enabled the body to speak and express itself to release the trauma that is trapped within.

    The session was amazing. Everything Shalini had said about the body holding onto trauma was true, and I felt that my body could finally speak, almost shout even to be heard. As I lay in a safe spot in the comfort of my bedroom, I had Shalini's voice guide me and my body. As I closed my eyes, I had Shalini’s voice guiding me, letting me know I was safe, and my body spoke like never before. It was as if my body could finally disconnect from my mind and not feel “locked away”. My body moved and danced almost like it had never before. My body felt like it was being heard.

    The itching, restlessness and heat I had been experiencing for weeks prior to this session has improved beyond measure and is almost non-existent. The heaviness in my legs has gone, making them feel as light as a feather. I can't recommend this treatment enough. The way I connected to my body and the way my body allowed itself to speak was a wonderful, wonderful experience of which I would recommend to anyone dealing with trauma.

    Every session I have had with Shalini had been beneficial and very much needed and appreciated, the trauma healing session in particular, was without a doubt one of the best sessions I have had. I cannot recommend the experience enough. The freedom it gave my body and the tension and trauma it has helped to release is second to none, an amazing experience with the freeze response I had held in my body feeling it has now been discharged.”

  • Anonymous Trauma Therapy Client

    “I sought out Shalini when I was suffering from re-emergent PTSD resulting from childhood trauma. Unlike other counsellors, Shalini understood that CBT wasn't nearly enough. With great compassion, Shalini guided me through a blend of trauma-specific therapies, including somatic techniques, hypnotherapy, EMDR and the Safe & Sound Protocol. The results were, frankly, startling. In just a few sessions, a huge weight was lifted, and the crippling trauma responses abated. I can't thank Shalini enough for her support, and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone struggling to cope with a traumatic past.”

  • Anonymous Trauma Therapy Client

    Working with Shalini has been a truly transformative experience. She helped me understand the root of my negative thoughts, many of which stem from my childhood, and guided me on how to address them with compassion and clarity. I also learned how trauma is stored in the body and how to release it effectively. Her approach is empathetic, insightful, and empowering. I feel lighter, more in control, and better equipped to move forward. Highly recommend!
