Shirley Hicks is a practising somatic psychotherapist and yoga teacher, with a private clinic based in the Gold Coast Hinterland at Mudgeeraba. Shirley has a real interest in how the body carries unresolved life events and how through “talk therapies” the body is often missed. With over 18 years clinical experience she has refined the way in which she supports clients to involve their body in the healing process, drawing on the work of Judith Herman, Babette Rothschild, Peter Levine and Bessel van der Kolk as well as the detrauma work arising out of Dru UK in Wales.
