Here’s what recent clients have said about working with me in my coaching practice:
I came to Ro after feeling dissatisfied and stuck in my usual habits
I came to Ro seeking help with how I relate to the people in my life after feeling dissatisfied and stuck in my usual habits. We worked together for about a year. Ro gently supported me in sensing my needs in relation to my environment and to others, and in expressing these. We always worked very practically in the here and now, while compassionately exploring the drivers underneath my feelings and behaviours. I came away with a better knowledge of myself and a greater ability to accept and own who I am, including the parts of myself that I once pushed away. This has very positively affected how I show up in my relationships and in other areas of my life, and I am very grateful to have worked together.

I had a lifelong pattern of attracting partners that had a very limited capacity to show up
I cannot say enough about my time working with Ro. I am a 51 year old woman who has been on an inward journey since I was 16 years old. I originally came to Ro because I had a lifelong pattern of attracting partners that had a very limited capacity to show up in the relationship in a meaningful way. I carried a childhood belief that my body was my value and continued to give myself away with the intention of finding true love which only brought me more unavailable partners.
The magic that Ro worked with me is not the easiest to explain but between working with them and some additional inner child work I had the most significant shift of my life. Ro held space for me and guided me back to myself every time I tried to escape. Ro brought me into my body and I worked with all the different aspects of myself which ultimately was me becoming my own loving parent. I never felt judged by Ro and only supported in the most loving and neutral way.
Today I have released my old patterns and conditioning and have been united with the most amazing partner that shows up for me in ways I could never imagine. This is a beautiful by-product of what I had to find first which was myself; a loving, unconditional, fierce but gentle relationship to me. Ro is a true gift and I will forever be grateful.

I was struggling with some communication issues with my partner
I first discovered Ro when I was going through an extremely traumatic period. At that time I was desperate for comfort and casting about for something or someone who could help me to feel more grounded and safe. I purchased some of Ro’s courses and their gentle manner and spot on wisdom helped me so much then.
Years later when I was struggling with some communication issues with my partner and others around me, I had some coaching sessions with Ro. There’s no other way to say it: there’s just something truly special about Ro. The way they listen, take in information and then provide exactly the right advice and guidance is very rare and special. In fact, I only saw Ro for a few sessions and was a bit sad that they’d helped me so much I no longer needed coaching! I highly recommend Ro if you are experiencing any sort of relationship or communication difficulty.

I would highly recommend anyone who feels like they want to connect with themselves in a transformative way to contact Ro
I would highly recommend anyone who feels like they want to connect with themselves in a transformative way to contact Ro. From the very beginning I felt completely safe to share, even on the most vulnerable topics, and I felt her presence as very grounding and supportive. Every session with Ro was like stepping into this bubble of total acceptance, where whatever emotion that was showing up for me was safe to be expressed and looked at. Her guidance was calm, intuitive and attentive, always very respectful and professional.
In the long run, working with her allowed me to be able to see, recognise, accept and respect the different versions of myself and understand better where they were coming from.
She is a truly amazing coach and person, and I am really grateful to have been able to have had those sessions together, as they proved not only to be the support I needed at that very moment of my life but also durably shifted my relationship with myself.

I didn’t really “get” how to listen to my body or my wisdom
Working with Ro was transformational for me; I was honestly a little skeptical, because I live a lot in my head, and try to out-think all my challenges. At the start, I didn’t really “get” how to listen to my body or my wisdom.
Ro’s gentle and robust presence really helped me to dive much deeper, into areas that felt truly vulnerable. Her embodied approach has completely changed so many ways in which I show up to the world. She really supported me challenging myself, and also helped me “be on my own team”. Working with the different parts of me has been liberating.

I needed some clarity and support
I came across Ro’s website when I found myself googling ‘pyschosexual somatic therapy’ in a time where I needed some clarity and support.
As with most google searches the inevitable influx of possibilities flooded my screen and amongst the noise I found Ro. Her warmth and knowledge that I initially got from her website really stood out for me and meeting her on zoom only affirmed my instinct to want to work with her.
Ro has a very soft and gentle quality to her coaching which not only allowed me to feel extremely safe in our sessions but also emphasised her capacity for empathy, really hearing and seeing me as a client.
I think we are all searching for a coach/therapist/mentor to really see and understand us and with Ro I completely felt that from the start. From the sessions we had together she was able to help me puzzle piece a lot of my confusion and anxiety. A lot of the time I would leave sessions feeling like my mind and heart had been truly expanded and things that once felt sore and scary didn’t as much just by us putting it under a microscope together.
Thanks to Ro I now have a tool belt of things I can use as an individual and in my relationship to support me when things feel hard. My connection to my body has also levelled up in a way that excites and liberates me. So wherever you are at on your journey I can truly say Ro will meet you there with knowledge, creativity and kindness.

I was in a very vulnerable place and finding that traditional talk-therapy was causing more issues than it was alleviating
I found Ro via their Instagram page. I was in a very vulnerable place and was finding that traditional talk-therapy was causing more issues than it was alleviating.
I feel I made 10 years of progress within the short time Ro and I were working together. Ro was able to bring me back into my body and help me sit in and honor the feelings coming up for me as we tackled specific subjects. A real turning point for me in our sessions was after reading a newsletter from Ro in which she spoke about the concept of self-intimacy or learning to connect and trust yourself again, this really resonated as the foundation I wanted to build. We decided this was our new focus for our sessions and from there we mapped my nervous system. It was incredible to witness myself so authentically – the “good” and the “bad” and be held and guided by such a fantastic practitioner.
I am reaping the benefits of my sessions daily and I would not have made this much progress without the guidance of Ro. I am forever grateful to her.

I was able to draw connections between past trauma and how that now affected my body’s sense of safety during sex
Working with Ro was transformational in helping me to see where my nervous system was affecting my capacity for physical intimacy and pleasure. While my profession had given me a good understanding of the nervous system, with Ro’s compassionate guidance I was able to draw connections between past trauma and how that now affected my body’s sense of safety during sex. Thank you, Ro, for holding such a beautiful, open and non-judgmental space to talk about such vulnerable topics.

I was struggling with connecting sexually and emotionally with my long term partner of over 20 years
To say that Ro has been instrumental in my personal growth is an understatement. I decided to approach her for coaching because I was struggling with connecting sexually and emotionally with my long term partner of over 20 years. Throughout our sessions, Ro and I explored my past trauma and how it has informed my views of myself and, by extension, my relationships.
Her coaching style is gentle, supportive, sex-positive, and completely non-judgmental. I came away with a number of tools to help me identify triggers and manage my past trauma through a lens of self-compassion. Ro offered me a safe space where I could be completely vulnerable as I explored my past, while teaching me to recognize the various parts of myself that have resulted from it. I learned ways of coming back into my body and uncovered many truths about myself that had remained ignored for a long time due to shame. I was sad that our sessions ended, but I feel as though I am now on a path of possibilities.

I was in a lot of pain and very confused about how to deal with it
I came to Ro not sure exactly what I needed, but knowing that I was in a lot of pain and very confused about how to deal with it. I had been following her page for awhile and many of her posts were speaking to my direct experience in a way I had never seen before. My gut told me Ro could help me. And as someone who didn’t fully know how to listen to my gut at the time, I’m happy for recognizing the opportunity.
Ro introduced me into tapping into my body for self-knowledge. She taught me not to judge my feelings and instead get curious about where they were coming from. She helped me find the roots which majorly opened up my perspective on what I was experiencing in a way that I could understand. It showed me the “why” behind a lot of my reactions and behavior.
From there we were able to address a path of healing. Using the polyvagal ladder helped me to map out ways to handle my needs and emotions. This practice gave me a lot of self-trust and self-confidence. I can tell by using this tool each time I am able to self-regulate my nervous system that I gain more trust that I will always be okay. It showed me that I am fully capable of being fulfilled by my own self-care, which reduced my need for fulfillment from outside sources. I am safe and secure in my body.
Her approach is very gentle, careful, and highly knowledgeable. Per each session, I could tell she put work into considering and customizing exactly what I needed. Not just showing up, but showing up with a considered plan based on where I was on my journey and being flexible along the way. Having someone guiding in this way took an enormous weight off, I knew I was in good hands of someone who understood my needs. I could quiet the part of me that endlessly would google “How to be x,y,z” and would spiral in confusion because she was so good at assessing where I was at even when I couldn’t see it. She helped me connect the dots of inner wellness.
From here I can begin to treat my triggers as areas that need healing attention. Now that I trust I am able to regulate through the pain I can begin to unravel each new obstacle with confidence that I will be okay. During experiences of pain I now have a list of healing tools to use to help guide me out of the hopeless place and into a regulated nervous system where I can function. I know it’s a slow, lifelong practice but I am confident that I have what it takes to work through it.
Ro’s confidence in my ability to heal helped give me strength to endure the process. Thank you Ro! Working with you has made the biggest impact on my healing journey. There’s only so much I was able to do on my own and you helped bring me the rest of the way home. Your sessions have been invaluable to me! <3

I have had a lot of psychotherapy but was looking for something that combined the mind with the body
I would highly recommend coaching with Ro. I was struggling in my relationships and with intimacy in general. I have had a lot of psychotherapy but was looking for something that combined the mind with the body and also gave me some tools to deal with overwhelm and anxiety within intimate moments or within my relationships, and I completely got that with bells on!
Ro is kind, compassionate, intuitive and she adapted to whatever came up in the sessions, allowing me to feel authentically held and authentically myself. Thanks Ro so much.

I have experienced long-standing difficulty in my relationship with orgasm
I have experienced long-standing difficulty in my relationship with orgasm. I never knew what a Psychosomatic Sex and Intimacy coach was, despite my endless googlings in search of where to turn, and felt heavy and shameful of what felt like a hopelessly tangled problem… Ro and I connected over a Facebook post I made, expressing my hope to work through some inner stories of mine relating to an early childhood injury to my coccyx. It is something I’ve hoped to tackle for many years, but didn’t know which professional to approach.
Ro’s work has helped me feel able to inhabit my body with more awareness, increase my choices in sex and intimacy, identify my desires and needs and find new confidence to express and explore them with partners. She helped me to go gently into early memories, through words and bodily awareness/ gesture, and to my surprise and delight this facilitated much learning and self-love.
I would recommend a series of sessions with Ro to anybody ready to place more value in understanding themselves, anybody ready to begin moving through life with more self assurance, anybody open to wonder about their own inner workings… Thank you Ro, for being a guide and an inspiration!

Our sessions always felt like a safe space where I could open myself up to seeing myself, my behavior and my patterns with fresh eyes
Working with Ro has been one of this year’s absolute highlights. Our sessions always felt like a friendly, warm and safe space where I could open myself up to seeing myself, my behavior and my patterns with fresh eyes and from new vantage points.
In any friendship there is, at least looking back, always a point where it becomes suddenly clear that this person and I will become great friends. With Ro’s guidance, I feel I have just reached this point in my friendship with myself. And being a good friend to myself – a friend that is aware of how I feel, a friend that respects my needs and a friend that listens to my boundaries, is exactly what’s necessary for me to foster a healthier and more connected relationship with my partner, emotional and spiritual as well as sexual.
I am not saying that from one month to another all is suddenly healed and perfect in my relationship to myself and my partner, but Ro has helped me gain invaluable insights into myself as well as provided me with tools to keep connecting to, and to keep exploring how I feel, what I need, how I communicate, how I perceive myself and those around me and, most importantly, how to recognize my boundaries and better communicate them to those around me.
I am really excited to see where this journey takes me from here. Thank you Ro for being there at the outset!

I felt wholly able to dive deeply into personal reflections
Ro offers beautifully soft yet powerful sessions. Using her naturally calm and supportive nature, I felt wholly able to dive deeply into personal reflections and swim in the depths of my feeling sensations within my body. I fully recommend Ro to support people to feel into their patterns and make embodied changes to their lives.

Ro has true empathy while remaining professional and helped me with my own boundaries
My sessions with Ro were so nourishing and rich, Ro holds space so beautifully and remains grounded, calm and non-judgmental whilst guiding me to be aware of my breathing, body, feelings and emotions. Each session is different, Ro uses the space and invited me to move my body, connect with my inner self and gave me tools to practice once I left the session. Ro has true empathy while remaining professional and helped me with my own boundaries. I really look forward to working with Ro again.
