Kia ora, I’m Vicki Evans.
I provide somatic therapy and coaching, grounded in Somatic Experiencing®. I’m based in Auckland, New Zealand and work with clients online and in person.
People come to me to reconnect with their bodies, settle their nervous systems, and feel more present, regulated and resourced in daily life. Informed by neuroscience and trauma research, this work supports those navigating chronic stress and trauma, chronic pain and symptoms, anxiety, relational patterns, or a sense of being stuck.
Many of my clients have gained insight through talk therapy but still feel something hasn’t shifted. Somatic therapy attends to the experiences the body is holding — the physiology beneath the story. When we can gently support the nervous system at this level, it becomes possible to access more ease, stability and relief. It’s the difference between knowing we’re safe and actually feeling safe.
Most people come to me for one of two reasons:
Chronic stress, overwhelm, anxiety, and longstanding relational or behavioural patterns.
You may feel stuck in survival mode, looping in anxiety, or living with patterns that insight alone hasn’t shifted — such as:
people-pleasing, fawning, or putting yourself last
difficulty with boundaries
perfectionism or chronic self-pressure
freeze, shutdown or procrastination
relational patterns shaped by early trauma or attachment dynamics
knowing a lot about yourself but still feeling dysregulated in your body.
Somatic therapy supports you to shift the underlying physiology driving these patterns, making room for more regulation, ease and capacity.
Chronic symptoms, pain, or health challenges with a nervous system component.
You might be experiencing persistent symptoms such as fatigue, pain, gut issues, migraines or other neuroplastic patterns that flare with stress. Together we work gently with your nervous system to develop more stability, resilience and symptom relief over time — supporting your body to find a more regulated baseline.
