Online Somatic & Arts Therapy
Helping you find joy in life again
Welcome, I’m Joanne Deaker. I help my clients get out of their heads and into their bodies so they can learn to be guided by the wisdom held within their bodies to living happier, more authentic lives.
Does this sound familiar?
Things aren’t what they used to be, they no longer have that sense of familiarity.
You no longer feel you can trust what and who you once trusted.
There’s no going back, the ‘veil has lifted’, and you wonder ‘who am I now?’
… life doesn't have to stay that way…
Hi, I'm Joanne Deaker and I can help.
I am a somatic and arts therapist (PGDipAT, CertEP). I provide therapy or coaching anywhere in NZ, Australia or Canada using a unique combination of somatic and arts therapy processes.
I specialize in: divorce recovery; being with grief; and patterns which keep us stuck including a specific pattern of behaviour called the 'good girl syndrome' which affects many adult women.
My clients and students walk away with a deeper understanding of who they are, an ability to feel safe within themselves and the tools to more readily handle life's many challenges, and best of all, they feel joy in this life again. To read more about me please go here.
How I can help you
I believe the struggle we feel in life is rooted in past experiences where we have been conditioned to suppress our emotions.
When major challenge or change happens we quickly become overwhelmed because these emotions bubble up to the surface and we can no longer hold them down. In such situations, talking is useful, but often something different is needed...
Somatic and arts therapy techniques go deeper because they bypass the thinking mind. Through them you are guided to tap into the wisdom of your own body and create a safe container in which to feel and allow these emotions to slowly surface and move.
I offer 1:1 therapy to adults in all three of my specialties (divorce recovery, grief, breaking free of patterns). I also offer a one hour workshop and a group programme designed for women to help them understand and break free of a pattern called 'the good girl syndrome'. To read more about this syndrome please go here. See below for more on my current offerings and check out my services page and FAQ for more detail.
