A Note on Personalised Trauma Healing
Trauma work entails a level of sensitivity and safety that goes beyond normal events and retreat spaces. All sessions are confidential, and are held in safe, private containers, with softness, presence, and love.
With a commitment to self awareness and extensive trauma training the containers are a space to truly let go of the past and know that whatever arises, is welcome.
One to One sessions offer personalised attention and format. Integration is offered for each session. Group trauma work sessions can be experienced in our Deeper Dive Retreats.

Why "Held In Presence?"
All of the tools that I have been blessed to be introduced to along my healing journey have one thing in common. All of them are ways for me to connect to the divine field, that reaches far beyond my physical self. The field that interconnects with everything, the field that knows no time.
It is in this field that I have experienced healing, through connection to nature, and its natural medicine, through transcendental work, expanded states of consciousness, release of old traumas, through insights, through a recalibration of my cells and neurology as my brain moves into coherence.
Deeper Dive Retreats
Retreats are multiple day immersions to allow you to reach deeper levels and do the inner work. Whether you want a lifestyle shift or do work on your relating trauma. Held in small groups or one to one by Gayle, they are a safe space to dive internally and change ingrained patterns and habits, to bring in a new way of being. Email to book and discuss.

Testimonials
I was very lucky to enjoy a 1:1 breathwork session with Gayle. From the very beginning until the end, I felt seen and held. Gayle was present with me at all times and gently guided me through the whole process, starting by giving detailed and thorough explanations about what is going to happen. She made it absolutely clear that this is a safe space and that‘s exactly how I felt: Being in safe hands and taken care of by a true professional. What I especially liked and valued was that we had lots of time for integration after the Breathwork session. I really recommend booking a 1:1 – for me it was totally different from a group experience. I had the feeling I could go way deeper into my own processes this way under Gayle‘s watchful eye and kind presence. Thank you, Gayle!
We particularly appreciated the cold water immersion session. We approached the experience full of trepidation, but had heard such great things about the positive effects of the practice that we were keen to try it. Your calm, compassionate and structured approach made the whole experience incredibly positive. The breathwork was like nothing we had ever experienced, and made the transition into the (very!) cold pool much easier. It was still quite challenging to stay in there for the full 3 minutes but your presence and encouragement made it less difficult. And the feelings afterwards – both physical and mental – made the whole experience so worthwhile. Our minor body aches and pains feel much better (I think the yin yoga helped with this, too) and Norbert’s tinnitus was gone this morning after our second breathwork / cold water immersion. Thanks so much again – we will be back!
Gayle’s style of coaching and presencing offers a strong professional integrity. The level of her profound knowledge speaks for itself. In sessions Gayle holds space in with a nonjudgmental approach, she articulates and describes in detail of how to move through levels of emotional complexity, allowing you to see with clarity. The diverse range of elements that Gayle helps you move through with nurturing energy means that these experiences help you grow. Allowing you to both move beyond and process them congruently.
Gayle’s coaching sessions came at a crucial time when I felt overwhelmed and I was in need of some emotional and practical support. Gayle’s sessions allowed me to break things down into manageable chunks and they enabled me to take action and step into my male energy and power a little more. Consequently I was able to breakfree from my stuckness and mobilise myself to make some important changes when I was facing a crossroad in my life. Thank you for your empathy and understanding, for your tools and accountability and for believing in me when I had lost my confidence in myself. I am very grateful for our sessions and for all the knowledge, heart and wisdom that you bring into your work!
Gayle is a next level life coach. She sees you, hears you and supports you. She is intuitive and fully present within the sessions. She has a smorgasbord of techniques and tailors her offerings to suit the client. For me the sessions were very action based with tasks to complete before our next session. I found this really worked for me. She helped me to discover what I wished to offer from a heart based choice, helped me to refine my business offerings and helped me with non business subjects (relationship advice and looking at attachment styles). She was flexible, committed, fully there with me and genuinely stoked when I made progress and achieved my goals. If you want support to better yourself and your business I’d highly recommend Gayle as a coach.
About Me

Sidenote if you are a science nerd: Aside from what I offer at Held In Presence, I also run workshop series based on The Science of Self. These revolve around neuroscience, trauma and attachment theory, polyvagal theory and neurobiology. For more info on the courses: Relating, Trauma and Attachment and The Science of Self – Gamechanger Intensive please click here for www.thescienceofself.org.
My journey started many years ago, after a turbulent childhood, losing myself in drugs, alcohol, eating disorders and sexuality.
I reached a place of no return around 21 and had no choice but to get help.
The path of self help and more importantly spirituality crossed my path, starting yoga, meditation, chanting. I learned about the syncronicity of life, how our path is guiding us to heal, and how we are always connected to something far more infinite than we can ever know. We are part of it.
It wasn’t an easy ride, and I am still on the path of learning and growing daily.
I have spent the last 15 years building on the first 10, working on my deepest subconscious traumas, learning how to communicate my feelings and needs, cleaning my lifestyle up from all the addictions, learning how to heal myself from nature and all her resources, and gaining huge insights into the science behind my relationship dynamics and neurodiversity.
Overall, you wouldn’t recognise me from the person I was, and what I noticed (and learned the scientific reason for) is that the most powerful tool we have is connecting to that wider field. To the Divine Presence; the magic that is the essence of the whole world we live in and beyond!
Over the years I focussed on learning tools to help me connect to that field, to heal. I learned breathwork practices, meditation, somatic trancework, emotional release practices and regulation tools, and even took and studied psychotropic plants and their allies. Not to mention how to keep the body a clean channel to tune in through diet and lifestyle.
The biggest learning I found in everything, was the art of surrender, getting out of the way so the magic can happen, having to drop any preconceived ideas of I AM, as well as fears and limitations, and truly let go into Grace.
I broke apart all I was, learned how to be humble (and my god I needed it), and learned how to truly listen (most of the time anyway).
This combined with the alignment of our physical self with natural healing, connection to the earth, a transition to natural healing, herbalism, foraging wild plants, and all that is naturally provided to us, that helps us heal. Stepping away from the addictions and strategies we are brought into though our societal systems.
Now my focus is on supporting others with the same tools that have brought me so much. Now I wish to offer myself in service.
Holding the space for the presence to do its work, helping you to connect to nature, the divine field, to yourself.
Because I am just a conduit, as we all are, to this beautiful divine energy. This energy that moves through all of this magical planet, and all that surrounds us.
And so the tools I offer are to help you tune in, heal, let the dirty water run clear, to help your nervous system learn what it feels to feel safe.
To help you let go of what no longer serves you, and break habits that hold you back. Taking steps to a new you, with natural healing.
So you, can be Held In Presence.
