Sharon Burkey, Specialist Trauma & Somatic Therapist

04/06/2026

Hi everyone, 👋

It feels like a long time since I've been here, and it has been.

I wanted to come back, say hello, and share a little of where I am and what I've been doing.

Those of you who have been with me since the breathwork days will know I moved from Scotland to Devon a while back. What you might not know is that alongside that move, my work has been deepening.

I've retrained as a specialist therapist (trauma, nervous system recovery and somatics). I work with women, primarily professional women, who are carrying things that talking, mindset work and willpower haven't been able to fully shift. Things that still keep you stuck and live in the body and the nervous system, long after the mind has tried to process them.

You might recognise yourself in some of these:

Difficult or toxic relationships, including narcissistic abuse and coercive control

Childhood. wounding and family dynamics that have shaped how you feel about yourself.

Patterns like people pleasing, perfectionism, over-giving and never feeling quite enough.

The kind of exhaustion that rest doesn't fix.

A sense of having lost parts of yourself somewhere along the way.

You might notice it as:

Feeling small around certain people.

Knowing you’re in toxic dynamics, but cannot leave.


Dreading certain interactions without knowing exactly why.

Saying yes when you mean no, and resenting it.

Working incredibly hard and still feeling like it isn't enough.

Knowing something needs to change but not being able to shift it, no matter how much you understand it.

If any of that sounds familiar, for you or someone you know, please feel free to reach out.

Everything is online, so wherever you are in the world, we can work together.

There are two ways to connect with me:

I offer a free 30-minute exploratory call, just a conversation, no commitment. Book at www.sharonburkey.com or drop me a direct message here.

So good to be back. Reach out if any of the above resonates, I'd love to hear from you.

Sharon x 🙏💛
