Rangeview Somatic Therapy

21/10/2026

How can I help? My approach is very holistic. Let’s release tight and sore muscles with massage therapy. Then let’s look at the nervous system. A client who is activated, in pain and stressed is always clenching. Bracing. Holding protective patterns.

These bracing patterns send info to the brain that a threat is inevitable, that the body needs to survive the emotional or physical impact. I work with the body in a way to soften and release these holding patterns. To access cues of safety, to tap into resource.

I then send you home with homework - to work on re-wiring your bracing so that the body can feel safe and soft. This needs lots of practice between sessions to re-train the nervous system.

Work with me on table, available from Nov - Dec 12th. Bookings via website.

Neurons mirroring at its finest!
This is a great example to show what I do when space holding with you. Many of my clients cry and release in their sessions on the table. I hold space for that. Nothing to say, just being there regulated safe body.

It is so deeply healing to be held in this way.

We need to raise better men and have more conversations. I hope things can change for women. You always have to be on high alert when going out, not go to your car alone, don’t leave your drink, impacts how you dress, if you drink and take drugs then you are vulnerable.

Many of my clients who have somatic healing treatments with have unfortunately experienced sexual assault and it never leaves them. 💔

This isn’t my usual content.

1 in 3 women experience s*xual assault.
1 in 4 experience child s*xual abuse.

I made this project while I was in a photography class as part of my final presentation, a photo essay.

I wanted to put visuals to statistics that we hear so often that sometimes they stop feeling real.

My daughter was safe. This was staged for a school project.

With the conversation surrounding the Cornell Seven right now, my timeline is flooded with “I am Jane Doe too” stories.

That’s exactly why I made this project. Every time one of these situations rises to national attention, we hear the masses call out: Why does violence against women happen so often? Why was I hurt? My sister? My mother? My neighbor?

They are words begging to be understood beyond statistics, headlines, or posts.

They’re your friends.
They’re daughters.
They’re children.

Whatever title makes you switch your perception to, “Hmm, maybe I should care.”

They’re people. That should be enough.

And as a mother of two girls, that reality lives in my mind rent-free every single day.

This starts at parenting: Teach your sons that no means no, and teach your daughters that their voices matter.
Teach all children about consent, respect, and accountability.

I hope to see these numbers shift in the future.

🌹I’m one of 450 adults living with cystic fibrosis in Western Australia.

CF is a complex lung disease that requires careful, ongoing management by the respiratory team at Charles Gairdner Hospital.

Recently, CF CEO Lisa and I met with Adam Hort, Member for Kalamunda, to talk about something that can no longer be ignored — the urgent need for an updated adult CF clinic at Charlie’s.

This is personal for me.

I’ve worked and lived in the hills area for 20 years, and many of you know my story. In 2019, I was sick enough to be listed for a lung transplant. In 2020 I was given compassionate access to Trikafta. It changed my life.

My lung function doubled. I went from facing the possibility of a lung transplant to living a full, active and incredibly meaningful life.

But here’s the problem.

The CF clinic hasn’t kept pace with the changing needs of the community.

With medications like Trikafta helping more people with CF live longer and avoid or delay transplantation, our adult CF population is growing.

The clinic is under increasing pressure and struggling to keep up with capacity.

And the current environment does not adequately support the level of cross-infection prevention, hygiene, air quality and safe clinical space that people living with CF need.

We are extremely protective of our health because we have to be.

We think carefully about exposure to illness. We know how quickly a respiratory infection can impact our lungs. And we shouldn’t have to worry that attending the very clinic designed to keep us healthy could potentially put our health at risk.

And it isn’t going to get better by waiting.

We need the right people to hear this.
We need the issue to be properly investigated.
We need a plan for a CF clinic that can safely and appropriately care for the adults living with CF in WA — now and into the future.

🙏 If you can help, please help us connect with the right people who can get this moving through Parliament.
