"Your guidance has helped me immensely. I feel that my mental and emotional state has improved a lot, and it happened in the best moment in my life. In certain ways my whole mindset shifted and I learnt a new approach. It works! I'll be using the methods you taught us."
Szilvia Frank
"Effie's course has been life changing for me. I decided to join because of her philosophy, her story and because I felt that she'd 'get' me. She broke down complex information so it was understandable, gave me tools to support myself with my cPTSD, anxiety and depression, and she offered persistent and reliable guidance. There has been such a transformation for me and I'm in a totally difference place compared to where I was before.

Life after trauma can be challenging because it has a profound impact on our mental and physical health, on our relationship with ourselves and the world around us.
If you’ve gone through trauma, you already know this which is why you’ve likely explored several paths of healing and change by now.
Some of these have been helpful and others maybe not so much.
But right now, you feel a deeper calling to get on the driver’s seat of trauma healing and to feel empowered to respond to your emotions and trauma triggers daily in ways that no longer block a better future for you.
You wish to deepen your connection with your body, and to learn practices that will support the repair of your nervous system and will expand your capacity for more vitality in your life.
If you feel like I'm talking to you, I'm excited you're here because Healing Trauma Guided by the Body will:
-
help you understand your health through the lens of trauma and your body's restorative powers based on what recent research has shown
-
will teach you effective practices to develop nervous system and emotional regulation skills necessary for optimal health
-
will give you tools to process repressed emotions that are at the root of dis-ease and self-sabotage through a somatic-based healing approach
"Random but I just want to publicly thank you Effie for all you give to us individually and as a group. I'm so thankful to have joined and have learned so much just in these past few months."
"I'm truly thankful to be in the program and have learned from and be supported by you. It's truly life changing!!"
"Hello! Effie I just want to say thank you for the detailed responses you leave each of us. I'm sure it takes a log to time and I love how you address our comments. I learn a lot from not only your responses to my comment but just as much from your comments to other's responses. I got so many good nuggets from reading through the new ones you sent this morning."
"I just wanted to tell you how I am so impressed by you and your coaching and teaching! I've learned so much just since February my brain can't even hold it all in." 😆
"One of the biggest benefits I've received from the course has been on the live group calls and in seeing how Effie embodies her own teachings - in how she presents, in how she carries herself, and in how she holds space for and relates to us all in the program. The group calls were very helpful times to not just take in information but to see the difference in action/embodiment of how a well-regulated, self-aware, and well-resourced human can be. The reason I decided to join Effie’s course wasn't just my personal resonance with her, but I felt that I picked up on her own resonance with herself, which I again have noticed to be unfortunately rare these days amongst practitioners in the wellness space. I could sense that Effie was the type of teacher and leader who is unafraid to see herself, and that is the kind of person I enjoy learning from the most. The entire course and its offerings seemed to me really intentionally crafted and well thought out. Thank you, Effie! I really appreciate the work you do and the integrity with which you approach your work and your own personal healing - it shows through in all that you do."
Chelsea Jewel
"Effie helped me get to the core of my problem, gave me tools to transcend it, and techniques to help me feel and release emotions I used to shut down out of fear. She helped me feel ‘whole’ again. To anyone thinking of working with Effie, I'd say do yourself a favour and do it. She's been incredibly helpful to me and I will always be grateful the universe sent her my way."
Dave Cooke
For more than 30 years, neuroscience knows that our body and brain are one unified system, and they operate as such.
This explains why somatics and body work don't only support positive changes in our mental and emotional health, but also in our physical health. Past students who implemented what they learnt as a lifestyle have seen improvements in health issues they've been dealing with for years, such as acne, psoriasis, thyroid, migraines and arthritis.
Our body and nervous system are our biggest supporters, and once we know how to engage them in our healing process and show up for them consistently, we can activate their restorative skills.
These skills are our body's innate medicine.
This is for you if you experience:
- The impact of trauma on your life and health
- Anxiety, stress, panic attacks and emotional overwhelm
- Depression, dissociation, and disconnection from yourself, the world and others
- Addiction, a challenging relationship with food or digestive issues
- Autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis or psoriasis
- Other physical issues, such as asthma, high or low blood pressure and diabetes
- Chronic pain, migraines, fibromyalgia or muscle tension
- Skin problems, such as acne
- Fatigue and insomnia
- A desire to meaningfully reconnect with yourself, the world and those around you
- A desire to live with more vitality, joy, inspiration and motivation
- A desire to connect with your authentic self and live feeling empowered
This course reflects my over 1,400 hours of somatic, nervous system, trauma and coaching training, combined with my hours spent in client work.
It also embodies the work that has radically transformed my life after years of living with cPTSD, anxiety and functional depression.
All materials and practices are based on Dr. Gabor Mate’s psychotherapeutic approach to trauma, in Somatic Experiencing and in the Polyvagal Theory.
This is why I’m excited to teach you this somatic and radically compassionate approach to healing trauma that honours the whole of you, including your body and your life experiences.
The combination of all the above allowed me to create this course that has led to plenty insights, revelations and change in the lives of many of my students and clients.
"I’m not as strict with myself anymore and I don’t give my inner critic as much space as before. I’ve learnt to recognise my boundaries and that I’m not responsible for taking care of others. I’ve worked with Effie for two years and what I love about her courses is that they’re not overcrowded. They feel more private while you still connect with the group. A big thank you to Effie! Every now and then I go through my old notes from two years ago and realise how much I’ve changed compared to how much I was stuck in the past and couldn't see a way forward."

About me
What’s led me to what I do today is a story that started when I was 10 and experienced trauma that involved family loss and mental dis-ease. Back then the stigma of mental health was even worse than it is today and, as a result, I spent my childhood feeling a lot of shame. This painful experience motivated me as an adult woman to go on a path to figure out how people can heal and live good lives after trauma.
It's come as no surprise that I've become a trauma educator and somatic coach running a successful practice that supports people privately and in groups. I have been trained in Dr. Gabor Maté's somatic-based psychotherapeutic approach, as a Mental Health and High Performance Coach and, I'm also currently training in Somatic Experiencing.
Through my studies and training, my work with hundreds of clients privately and in a group setting, and my personal transformation journey, I've seen again and again that with the right tools, guidance and community we can recover from trauma, feel better and live better.
I’m also a corporate trainer having run workshops on resilience, mental health and performance for organisations such as NatWest and The Centre for Entrepreneurs.
What nourishes me is the sun, the sea and meaningful conversations with friends. I hate small talk and I'm fascinated by people's life stories. In my free time, I love writing poetry and fiction, and travelling.
