For those carrying what was never fully theirs
This is a space for somatic healing, matrilineal repair, and returning to the body as a place of safety, truth, and power.
If you feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or like you’ve done the work but something is still held in your body, you’re not broken. Your body is responding intelligently.
Here, we work with the nervous system, attachment, parts work, and rage work to support your body back into flow, capacity, and vitality.
A return to your power, your purpose, and your pleasure begins here.
• You feel overwhelmed, anxious, or unable to fully switch off
• You feel disconnected from your body, your emotions, or your truth
• You’ve done therapy or mindset work, but something still feels stuck
• You carry emotional weight that doesn’t feel fully yours
• You struggle with boundaries, over-functioning, or people pleasing
• You feel grief, anger, or rage that hasn’t had a place to move
You are not the problem.
Your body has adapted to what it has lived through and what it has inherited.
This work is for you if:
This is not talk therapy alone.
This is body-based, relational, and deeply integrative work.
At The Somatherapy Collective, we work through:
• Somatic therapy - working directly with the nervous system and the body
• Matrilineal repair - addressing inherited relational and emotional patterns
• Attachment work - reshaping how you relate to safety, connection, and trust
• Parts work - meeting and integrating the different parts of you that have adapted to survive
• Rage work - safely accessing and moving anger held in the body
We don’t force change.
We create the conditions for the body to release, reorganise, and return to its natural state of flow.

How This Works
Your nervous system is constantly responding to your environment, your history, and your relationships.
When you’ve experienced trauma, stress, or relational wounding, your system adapts - through patterns like anxiety, shutdown, over-functioning, or emotional disconnection.
This work supports your system to:
• feel safe again
• process what has been held
• expand your capacity to feel, respond, and stay present
Over time, your body begins to learn:
I am safe now. I can be here. I can choose differently.
The Outcome
This work is not about fixing you.
It is about returning you to yourself.
Clients often experience:
• Feeling safer and more at home in their body
• Increased emotional capacity and regulation (flow)
• The ability to set boundaries without guilt
• Less overwhelm, anxiety, or shutdown
• A deeper sense of connection, clarity, and self-trust
• Access to power, purpose, and pleasure
This is about how you live, relate, and experience your life - not just how you cope.

She is so incredibly intuitive and really provokes her clients to look deeplky within themselves. To take action to break old patterns of behaviour and thinking that no longer serves them. Through her wisdom and encouragment, I have been taking ctive steps to grow, evolve and not be hindered from the fear and pain of past experiences.

1:1 Sessions with Briony Montgomery
Some work needs a room of your own. 1:1 sessions offer focused, individual support · a space to bring what's alive in your body and your story, and work with it directly, at the pace that's right for you. Drawing on Brainspotting, IFS parts work, Somatic Experiencing and attachment informed practice, each session meets you exactly where you are · whether that's a single moment of nervous system dysregulation, a longstanding pattern you're ready to shift, or the beginning of a longer thread of work together.
This isn't generic coaching. It's somatic, relational work with someone who has walked this ground herself.
Work With Me…
There are a number of ways to begin this work, depending on where you are
Somatic Journal for women
A 90-day nervous system journal series, in three volumes.
Your body has been keeping score long before your mind caught up. In every tightened shoulder, every held breath, every flinch at a raised voice, it has been telling you the truth about what happened and what you needed. The Body Remembers is an invitation to finally listen.
Across three volumes and ninety days, you'll move from noticing what's present in your body, to grounding and resourcing what steadies you, to approaching and softening into the ancestral and inherited patterns that shaped you long before you had words for them. This isn't a journal you rush through. It's a practice you return to, day by day, until the noticing becomes trust, and the trust becomes belonging to yourself.
Volume One · Noticing · Listening · Trusting
Volume Two · Grounding · Resourcing · Returning · Widening
Volume Three · Approaching · Softening · Expanding · Belonging to Myself
Each volume stands alone. Together, they form a complete return home.
Some work needs to be held in community, not carried alone. Motherway is an ongoing circle for women doing the deep work of mother rupture and repair · reclaiming the parts of themselves exiled long before they had words for what happened, and remapping their nervous system toward safety, belonging and self trust.
Inside the circle you'll find guided nervous system work, somatic practice, and a community of women who understand what it means to have been shaped by a Death Mother, a mother who was present but not available, or a lineage carrying wounds that were never named. This is ongoing, held work · not a course you complete once and put down, but a container you return to as the layers continue to unfold.

Deepen your path of trauma-informed, soul-led, body-based healing
You can be the most capable woman in the room and still feel frantic the moment someone pulls back. In this episode of The Unfuckwithable Woman, somatic therapist Briony Montgomery reframes anxious attachment as a nervous system strategy rather than a personality flaw, and explains why achievement, however impressive, was never going to regulate a dysregulated attachment system.
The conversation traces this pattern back through the mother wound, since attachment style forms in the first relationship, long before dating ever enters the picture, and further into the ancestral line, naming how these patterns travel down a family without anyone choosing them. Briony then zooms out to the culture itself: why secure attachment is genuinely hard to build inside a world that isolates us, measures women by their functioning, and rewards outsourced validation, and why there's a real swing happening back toward community and co-regulation.
The episode closes with an extended body-based practice for the moment an old attachment wound activates, and a redefinition of success itself, not achievement, but capacity, built through safety and the release of stored charge from personal, ancestral and cultural sources alike.
