Trauma Doula
- A doula is someone who provides support & companionship in a time of need within a particular field.
- A trauma doula offers a space, a containing space, for the unravelling of life's harmful impacts on us. They provide support, understanding, and validation, helping individuals navigate their healing journey.
My work as Trauma Doula is about allowing you space to connect with yourself, in a gentle, caring & non-invasive space. As a Trauma Doula, I am here to listen to your words. When we feel heard and validated, we can begin to untangle the trauma within & find possibility & creativity instead of despair and hopelessness. We are each unique beings & our uniqueness is our value. My intention is to offer you the space to see and take back yourself & to allow you to begin the journey of claiming your unique worth.
Cranio-Sacral Therapy
Craniosacral therapy is a non-invasive and gentle approach that allows self-awareness and healing to develop. The holding nature of Cranio-Sacral therapy offers an excellent, safe, and dialogue-free space to begin exploring and experiencing our authentic selves. It is like psychotherapy without words, while being nurtured in a way that few of us have experienced.
We have, at last, an opportunity to hear ourselves—a chance to get to know ourselves, without intrusion from another. We can begin to connect with our unique life force and the gift we have to the world. This nurturing environment ensures your safety and comfort throughout the healing process.
Access Consciousness Bars Therapy
Access Bars, like cranio, is a very gentle, non-invasive, light contact treatment, using fingers and occasionally the palms, on points or areas on the head.
It is a profoundly relaxing experience that creates space and allowance for healing and self-discovery.
Holding someone into their own awareness is another way of "hearing" and validating a person's story. It is a beautiful thing to be able to do.
I did my ACB course in January 2016 with Felicity Duke-Norris Fernandes, who is also an extraordinary Craniosacral therapist.
❤️ I am passionate about the holistic and gentle practice of Cranio-Sacral therapy.
❤️ I love the way Trauma Doula listening allows, without judgment, a person to be heard and validate
Both of my chosen modalities allow for a person to BE. And from each person's unique BE-ing, their value and purpose are found. This individualised approach ensures that you are understood and respected in your unique journey towards healing.
❤️Our worth shines out in Self Acknowledgement
What is said about Janet's work
"In her craniosacral practice Janet Leslie holds a quiet and still space for your body to release, deeply rest and find new resources of steady, calm energy."
"Working with Janet was my first experience with cranial sacral therapy, and can confidently say that it is a practice I will be coming back to for the rest of my life.

"Working with Janet was my first experience with cranial sacral therapy, and can confidently say that it is a practice I will be coming back to for the rest of my life.
After seeing so many traditional doctors and never feeling any positive outcomes, it was a huge breath of fresh air to work with someone with so much knowledge of the connection between the physical and the emotional.
Cranial sacral therapy helped me feel safe enough to address trauma trapped in my body and guided me through releasing it safely and carefully. This form of therapy is a compassionate way of honouring your body and finding guidance in facing your trauma.
I would highly recommend this form of therapy for those who often struggle to find the words to explain an experience. It helps you to process the emotions and trauma through the body in ways talk therapy and words cannot describe"

"I appreciated the opportunity for deep rest. I would leave the sessions feeling my skeleton had had an opportunity to realign and my nervous system to profoundly recharge."
