Online Somatic & Arts Therapy

Helping you find joy in life again

Welcome, I’m Joanne Deaker. I help women work through patterns and challenges by guiding them to feel safe within their bodies and release stuck emotions - so they can live happier, more authentic lives.

I specialize in ‘Good Girl Syndrome’ — the pressure to be capable, kind, and selfless… while quietly abandoning your own needs.

You don’t have to keep holding it all together alone…

Does this sound familiar?

  • You’re high-functioning but anxious underneath.

  • You struggle to rest without guilt.

  • You feel responsible for everyone else’s emotions.

  • You overthink and second-guess yourself.

  • You appear “fine” on the outside, but feel disconnected from joy.

  • You’ve done mindset work… but your body still feels tense or unsafe.

This isn’t a flaw.

It’s often a nervous system that learned early on that being “good” was the safest way to belong.

And safety can be relearned…

… Your life doesn't have to stay that way…

Start gently

Learn to become your own safe place

My free ebook introduces simple somatic and reflective practices to help you begin building inner safety.

It’s the softest place to start.
