About Me
As one of the UK's first coaches trained through the Jai Institute of Parenting, I've supported hundreds of families through parent coaching in the UK and online. I originally built this work under Happy Me Parenting, where I became known for helping parents navigate big emotions with more presence, compassion and confidence.
​
I’ve spent years working closely with parents as a certified parenting coach, supporting them through the invisible layers of stress, self-doubt, and emotional overwhelm that often come with raising children. While many initially reached out for support with their child’s behaviour, it became clear that the deeper healing often needed to begin within themselves.
​
Anxiety, rage, shutdown, hopelessness - these weren’t signs of failure. They were symptoms of unresolved trauma, often from their own childhoods. I saw this again and again, and it echoed my own journey.
During the pandemic while solo parenting my daughters, then just 3 and 5 I hit a breaking point. A deeply painful experience brought me to Somatic Experiencing®. Within a few sessions, something in me began to shift. It wasn’t about “fixing” myself. It was about reconnecting with my body, my boundaries, and my sense of self. That experience lit a fire in me, and I knew I needed to bring this work to others.
​
Since then, my work has naturally expanded. While I still support many parents, I now also work with individuals of all kinds who are ready to gently explore what’s underneath their stuckness - not just cognitively, but through the body. I’ve walked the path of talk therapy, inner child work, EMDR, and more… but Somatic Experiencing has been the most transformative modality I’ve ever encountered.
​
If you’re holding more than you know how to carry, or sensing there’s something deeper that talking alone hasn’t touched — I’d be honoured to support you.

Connecting with Your Emotions and Finding Inner Peace
"Working with Fiona was a pleasure. She helped us to understand how we should communicate with our son, how we should hold space for his feelings, remain calm when he has tantrums and always show unconditional love. The journey introduced me to the concept of somatic experiencing as well as reflecting on the parenting my family gave me and how some of the negative aspects are easy to fall into and repeat. Truly life changing."
"Working with Fiona has been such a wonderful experience, I feel like I’ve entered a new world of self discovery and its all thanks to her that I am on this journey now. I felt so comfortable in her warm and kind presence and it was so validating to have someone listen to me with no judgement. I never knew anything about the nervous system and learning from her has changed how I approach everything, not just parenting but in all aspects of my life. I feel so much more confident in my abilities as a parent and learned so much from her. I’m eternally grateful for all the support and guidance she’s given me and I feel so lucky that I found her!"
​
"I found Fiona through a Google search and this was the best thing that could have ever happened for my son. Her parent coaching has literally revolutionised how I parent, it’s allowed me to build a safe, strong, close and healthy relationship with my son whilst holding boundaries in a conscious caring way. My son has SPD and it’s been especially crucial for us to have this relationship so we can meet his needs. I cannot recommend Fiona enough and I would encourage any parents to invest in your family by working with her."
About Happy Me Somatic Therapy
Rediscover Your Inner Steadiness
At Happy Me Somatic Therapy, I offer gentle, body-based support for emotional healing, nervous system regulation, and reconnection with your deeper self. Whether you’re navigating parenting challenges, burnout, anxiety, or old trauma, my work helps you slow down, feel more grounded, and meet your experience with compassion - not just analysis.
​
Rooted in the science of the nervous system and the power of the mind-body connection, my approach integrates Somatic Experiencing®, trauma-informed coaching, and embodied presence. The aim isn’t to fix you — it’s to help you come home to yourself.
As a certified Parenting Coach through the Jai Institute of Parenting and a trainee Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner (developed by Dr. Peter Levine), I bring together practical tools and deep nervous system work to support healing that lasts.
​
This work is about capacity, not perfection — about finding the steadiness underneath the overwhelm. You don’t have to do it alone.
About
Hi, I'm Fiona Ng
(Meeting Dr Peter Levine in London 2023 on his Therapeutic Presence, Rhythm, and Connection 2 day workshop.)
I’m a qualified Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner based in Newcastle upon Tyne, where I live with my two daughters and our fluffy white cat, Fairy.
​
My work is rooted in the belief that healing begins with the nervous system. I’ve spent over five years supporting individuals and couples in one-to-one settings, drawing from a wide range of approaches including Positive Parenting, Compassionate Inquiry (developed by Dr. Gabor Maté), life coaching, and NLP. I’m also a certified Parenting Coach through the Jai Institute of Parenting and a trained Positive Parenting workshop facilitator.
​
Over the years, I’ve witnessed how struggles in parenting often point to deeper unmet needs and unprocessed trauma. Many of the people I work with carry stressors they may not even recognise—attachment wounds, complex PTSD, emotional neglect, burnout, grief, or shame. These unresolved experiences can quietly shape the way we relate to ourselves and others, and keep us feeling stuck.
​
My approach supports clients in gently exploring these layers through body-based awareness, helping them reconnect with their innate capacity for regulation, resilience, and aliveness. Whether you're a parent or simply someone seeking deeper healing, I offer a compassionate space to explore what’s underneath the surface and move toward meaningful change.
​
In my personal life, I’ve also walked through a lot of what my clients bring into the room the quiet ache of childhood emotional neglect, developmental trauma, the heartbreak of separation with young children, and the invisible wounds of narcissistic abuse.
​
Each of these experiences has shaped me, humbled me, and deepened my belief in the body’s capacity to heal. I don’t offer this work from a place of theory alone, I offer it from lived experience, and from the steady ground I’ve had to build within myself.
​
In my spare time I enjoy time at the beach with my young daughters, pilates, salsa dancing and visiting local coffee shops!

* I work online on zoom and also work one day a week from Select Psychology in Tynemouth, North Tyneside.
