Hello! I’m Reed. My pronouns are they/them. Some labels I use are: Non-binary, transgender, autistic, white, animist, queer, polyamorous, artist.  I am passionate about disability and trans* justice.

As a trauma-trained somatic care worker, I include a blend of coaching, therapy and counselling to provide a human, relational and body-led approach to healing. I like to think of my space as a counterbalance to the pathologising environments many of us encounter in clinical mental health settings. It also responds to the culture of toxic positivity and spiritual bypassing often found in the wellness industry.

In our sessions, we work slowly and collaboratively, paying attention to what is happening in your body as well as your thoughts and emotions. This might include noticing sensations, exploring patterns, and gently building your capacity to stay with your experience without overwhelm. We can learn how your nervous system works and how best to resource it at your own pace. There is no pressure to perform or “fix” anything; this is a space to listen, feel, and make sense of your inner world.

I am autistic and live with C-PTSD, and I navigate the world as a transgender, non-binary person. I have experience supporting people with and without formal diagnoses, including neurodivergence, chronic fatigue, EDS, anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
