The Body Talk Therapist

Yoga is meant for everyone and every body. In order to make this a reality it has been her dream to open a Yoga Clinic!

At The Body Talk Therapist, we believe the body is more than just a vessel – it’s a storyteller, carrying the echoes of past experiences and emotions, while also holding profound wisdom. True healing begins by listening closely to the subtle language of your body, interpreting its signals, and guiding you on a journey of deep transformation and self-discovery. Through a holistic approach that integrates evidence-based somatic and cognitive therapies, we honour the full depth and complexity of your being, bridging the connection between mind and body. Founded by Martine, a passionate psychotherapist and yogi and advocate for holistic trauma recovery and Ian a tech savvy, meditation and yoga lover. The Body Talk Therapist was born out of a deeply personal desire to understand and treat trauma in a way that delivers lasting results.

What we stand for:
✨ Embrace individuality & uniqueness
We believe everyone is unique and needs an individual approach to healing. We celebrate differences, recognising that each person offers a unique contribution to the world.

✨ Keep it simple
In a world full of chaos and overwhelm, the wellness industry thrives on complication. We do the opposite—stripping away the complexity and returning to what actually works: creating safety in your body and clarity in your mind.

✨ Self-empowerment
We don’t want you dependent on us forever. Our goal is to help you reconnect with your own inner guidance system so eventually, you don’t need us at all.

✨ Community & connection
Healing happens in relationship. By strengthening your connection to yourself, you naturally enhance your ability to form meaningful bonds with others.

✨ A holistic perspective
The body, mind, and spirit are deeply interconnected, which is why we focus on treating the whole person. By empowering individuals, we also contribute to creating stronger connections and harmony at a collective level.

✨ Walk the walk
We don’t just preach self-care—we practice it. We don’t advocate for boundaries—we model them. We’re committed to embodying the principles we teach, showing up authentically rather than perfectly.

One of the most beautiful things about Illuminate is this:
There’s no rushing allowed.
Healing doesn’t happen on a timeline. It doesn’t follow a schedule. It unfolds in layers, cyclically, at the pace your nervous system can handle.

In our achievement-oriented world, this can feel foreign. We’re used to programs with rigid timelines, milestones to hit, boxes to check.

But trauma healing doesn’t work that way.
Some weeks in Illuminate, you might feel ready to dive into the depths. To explore the parts of yourself that have been hidden. To untangle old patterns with curiosity and compassion.

Other weeks? You might need to pause. To rest. To let what you’ve discovered settle into your system before moving forward.
Both are perfect. Both are necessary. Both are healing.

The invitation in Illuminate isn’t to rush toward some finish line. It’s to move through the material in a way that honours your nervous system, your capacity, your wholeness.
Because you’re not behind. You’re not doing it wrong. You’re exactly where you need to be.
Your healing gets to unfold at your pace.

“What do I get from joining a program like Illuminate?”
To finally see deeper than your coping mechanisms and identify years of unhealthy thought patterns that are keeping you in pain or stuck, it takes the right expertise and a safe space to actually start working through it healthily. Inside Illuminate you get 16 weeks of learning how to trust yourself again.

Here’s what that looks like practically:
🌟Weekly workshops where we work through real scenarios together. Like: “My mother-in-law made that comment again, and I feel 8 years old.” We don’t just talk about it - we practice somatic tools to help your adult self stay present with your triggered inner child.

🌟One-on-one sessions where we help you apply this work to YOUR specific life like: “When your boss does that thing and your chest gets tight, here’s exactly what to try.”

🌟Video content you can return to at 2am when you’re spiralling - think guided practices to help your nervous system remember safety.

🌟The learning portal becomes your roadmap. Clients tell us they will reference it years later because it contains their own insights about their patterns and breakthroughs.

🌟Community support means you’re not white-knuckling this alone. When you post “I had a panic attack in the grocery store,” you get responses from women who’ve been there.

🌟Nutrition workshop because your gut health affects your mental health. You’ll learn how to support your system with food, not just willpower.

🌟Plus Somatic Movement, sound and qigong. This really is an investment in changing your relationship with yourself.
So, if you’re reading this, ask: Am I aware of what needs to change but unsure of how to practically integrate what I know into tangible transformation? Do I know my triggers, but don’t know how to respond healthily rather than react? Have I been stuck here for too long? Do I have what I need to actually heal? If you need support with your next phase of healing, this is your invitation to join us. Link in bio on ILLUMINATE for more info.

Over here, we don’t just help the individual through body-mind awareness. We are the experts who train the experts. If you’re a Yoga Teacher or mental health professional who has been following our work for a little while and wondering which training you need, you may be asking, “What’s the difference between your 100-hour program and Soma Talk?”

Here’s a helpful breakdown:
1. Yoga for Embodiment & Healing is the entry pathway and foundational course for elevating your practice. It teaches you HOW to integrate somatic approaches into your existing practice. You learn techniques, tools, and interventions.
2. Soma Talk on the other hand, transforms you into an embodied facilitator who creates lasting change through presence, not just technique.
One adds skills. The other changes who you are as a practitioner.

Soma Talk is a 200-300-hour pathway for practitioners who want to:
✅ Work with clients who need more than traditional approaches can offer
✅ Become the practitioner who gets results when others have tried everything
✅ Integrate interoceptive awareness, nervous system literacy, and trauma-sensitive facilitation into every session
This isn’t about collecting more certificates. It’s about becoming the practitioner your most complex clients actually need.
You’ll work with clients experiencing:
- Chronic dysregulation that doesn’t respond to talk therapy alone
- Somatic symptoms with emotional origins
- Trauma that needs body-based processing
- Patterns that keep cycling despite cognitive insight

The practitioners who thrive in Soma Talk are ready to move beyond technique-based practice into embodied facilitation.
They understand that sustainable change happens when you can meet your clients not just mentally, but somatically and energetically.

When your mind is spinning and your body is activated, this gentle practice can help you drop back into the present moment.
It’s not about making the feelings go away. It’s about creating space to feel them without being overwhelmed.
Your body knows how to heal. Sometimes it just needs a gentle reminder that you’re safe right now.
Save this for future reference. Try it and let us know- how did this feel for you?

Food has become your go-to for comfort, celebration, stress relief, boredom, and everything in between?

Believe it or not, you’re not lacking discipline - food has become a way you regulate emotions your nervous system doesn’t know how to handle.

This is actually more common than you may think. And, after becoming aware, you just need to have the right tools up your sleeve to help you manage those big feelings or moments in real time. Your nervous system learned these patterns for good reasons. Maybe emotions weren’t safe to feel in your family. Maybe food was love. Maybe it was the one thing you could control. So what now? Real healing (and the ability to STOP overeating or undereating) happens when you develop other ways to be with difficult emotions.

👉 Comment FREEBIE below if you would like a copy of our ‘From Overwhelm to Ease Guide’ that includes a simple but powerful exercise I use with clients to help them pause between the emotion and the food choice.

It’s not about restriction or rules. It’s about creating space to engage in more mindful eating and rewiring your brain from going straight to its normal coping mechanism that isn’t really serving you.

The 16-week Illuminate journey unfolds in four carefully designed phases.
We don’t jump straight into the deep end. Each phase builds on the last. Here’s what Illuminate actually looks like in practice:

Phase 1 (Foundations): Remember that voice in your head that says “you’re too sensitive” or “you should be over this by now”? We’ll meet that inner critic with curiosity instead of combat. You’ll do somatic exercises to literally feel what safety means in your body - not just understand it conceptually.

Phase 2 (Embodiment): That churning stomach when you have a difficult conversation coming up? We’ll explore what your gut is trying to tell you and how to listen without being overwhelmed. You’ll learn practical nutrition approaches to support your nervous system, not just your willpower.

Phase 3 (Rewiring Patterns): Instead of catching yourself people-pleasing after you’ve already said yes to something you don’t want to do, you’ll start noticing the split-second before the automatic response. You’ll practice new neural pathways through yoga, meditation, and expressive arts. The goal isn’t perfection - it’s choice.

Phase 4 (Integration): Now you bring it all together in your relationships. You’ll practice speaking authentically in our safe container before trying it with your partner or boss. You’ll learn to repair when things go sideways instead of spiralling into shame.

This is healing that shows up in your Tuesday afternoon, your Saturday morning coffee, your midnight worries. — If you’ve completed the Ignite program and you’re ready to embody everything you’ve learnt. THIS IS YOUR NEXT STEP. Comment ILLUMINATE and we’ll send you the link to learn more.

The hardest part about major life transitions isn’t always the practical stuff - it’s the identity crisis that comes with them.

For years, maybe decades, you’ve known exactly who you are. Wife. Mother. Executive. Caregiver. High-achiever.
Then life changes, and suddenly those roles are different or gone entirely.

Who are you when you’re not managing everyone else’s calendar?
Who are you when you’re not the one everyone comes to for answers?
Who are you when the kids don’t need you in the same way?
Who are you when the job that consumed your identity is over?

This liminal space - between who you were and who you’re becoming - feels terrifying because our culture doesn’t teach us how to be with uncertainty.
But here’s what I’ve learned from walking through this with countless women:
This isn’t a breakdown. It’s a sacred unraveling that makes space for who you’ve always been beneath the roles.
Your authentic self isn’t gone. She’s been waiting patiently underneath the doing, the giving, the performing.
Now she finally has space to breathe.
When you’re not busy being who everyone else needs you to be... do you know yourself? Is it time you do? Come explore our website to discover a range of programs that are here to support your healing and self-discovery journey.

Maybe, you’re not losing it. Maybe your nervous system has just been working overtime to keep you safe. 💗
Those “symptoms” you’ve been judging? They’re actually signs of a brilliant system that adapted to help you survive.
But what once protected you might now be limiting you.
The constant vigilance that kept you safe in chaos might now be exhausting you in safety.
The perfectionism that earned love might now be burning you out.
The people-pleasing that avoided conflict might now be costing you your authentic self.
First things first: There’s nothing wrong with you.
Your nervous system learned these patterns for good reasons. And with the right support, it can learn new ones too.
Healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken. It’s about updating what’s outdated.
What patterns are you ready to gently explore? Comment below how many of the above listed symptoms you mentally ticked.

For the practitioner who’s ready to go deeper.
You’re good at what you do. Your clients trust you. You get results.
***But there’s this nagging feeling that you’re only accessing part of what’s possible.

🫵You see clients who understand their trauma story but still get hijacked by triggers.
🫵You work with people who have insights but can’t seem to integrate them into lasting change.
🫵You notice how your client’s body language tells a different story than their words - but your training didn’t teach you how to work with that.
🫵You’re curious about somatic approaches, nervous system work, embodied healing - but where do you start? And how do you integrate it safely with what you already know?

~~~This is exactly why Soma Talk exists.~~~
It’s not just another certification you add to your wall. It’s a comprehensive 200-300-hour pathway that transforms HOW you practice.
You’ll learn to:
✅ Read the nervous system and work with disregulation in real-time
Integrate body-based trauma approaches with your existing skills
Become a confident, embodied facilitator, not just someone who learned techniques
Create the kind of lasting transformation your clients are really seeking
This training bridges the gap between theory and practice. Between knowing about embodiment and actually practicing it.
Ready to become the practitioner your clients really need?
Soma Talk applications open.

We’re so glad you’re here.
Let’s talk about what nervous system regulation actually looks like, because there are some big misconceptions floating around...
Regulation doesn’t mean:
~Never feeling anxious
~Always being zen
~Suppressing difficult emotions
~Forcing yourself to “just breathe”
Regulation DOES mean:
✅ Recognising when you’re outside of your ability to tolerate a certain situation
✅ Having tools to gently guide yourself back
✅ Building capacity to feel without being overwhelmed
✅ Trusting your body’s wisdom
Your nervous system isn’t broken if you still feel stress, worry, or overwhelm. You’re human, living in a complex world.
The goal isn’t perfection. It’s resilience. So how do you build your capacity and reactivate your “soothe response” rather than trying to eliminate stress (because let’s face it – that’s out of your control)?
