Hakomi Psychotherapy

As a parent, teacher and student of Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy, I bring a warm, attachment-centred approach to healing. With decades of experience in yoga therapy, contemplative movement, and mindfulness, I support people struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, and addiction through body-based, experiential therapy. Drawing from Internal Family Systems and trauma-informed practices, I create a safe space where you can reconnect with your body's innate wisdom and return home to your authentic self.

Hi, I’m Mel. I’m a somatic therapist trained in Hakomi Somatic Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and traditional psychotherapy. I’m drawn to experiential approaches that trust a person’s inner wisdom and natural capacity for healing. I aim to work collaboratively, with warmth, humour, and integrity. Sessions blend conversation with gentle, present-moment exploration to help you understand your experience more fully and support meaningful, embodied change.

Kia ora, I’m Mari. I offer a gentle, trauma-informed, body-centered approach to experiential therapy rooted in Hakomi Somatic Psychotherapy, and further supported by Internal Family Systems (IFS). This way of working can be especially supportive for those navigating trauma, grief, anger, confusion, and fear, feeling stuck in recurring patterns, longing to feel more at home in themselves, or seeking greater connection, presence, and ease in their lives.

I am a registered psychotherapist and have a Bachelor of Social Sciences in Psychology, and I am certified in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy. I work with adults experiencing a range of personal issues. If you are looking for a deeper level of understanding as to how you got to be as you are and how you might move forward, I can help.

My work has given me the privilege of working with a wide range of people with differing backgrounds and circumstances with whatever brings them to therapy: low mood, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, repeating patterns, grief, and addictions. Sometimes people don’t know what brings them to therapy. They might not feel right, and have a need for clarity – therapy is often a great place for addressing this.
