Kate Maryon and Daniel Johnson — the people behind My Core Wound.
We created My Core Wound after decades of sitting with people — individually and as couples — whose lives were quietly organised around an early wound they could feel but rarely name. In our rooms, that pattern shows up in the body first: the bracing, the collapse, the over-giving, the holding back. What we have discovered is that the combination of somatic wisdom, depth psychology and the symbolism of astrology offers a potent form that anyone can use to inquire privately, at their own pace, without waiting for a session or pretending the wound should simply be fixed.
This app is not therapy and not a substitute for human support. It is an invitation to honest self-reflection: to see the shape of your wound clearly, meet it with compassion, and discover what it might become when it is no longer hidden.
Kate Maryon
Self-realisation, embodiment & radical honesty
Kate offers a path of Self-inquiry and Embodiment for individuals, couples, children, families, and groups. Exploring the psychological, emotional, and felt sense of your experience, sometimes using movement and creativity, Kate will take you on an exploration of your inner world. She’ll hold your hand whilst you explore all and any developmental and relational trauma, stuck patterns, old hurts, limiting beliefs, and cultural conditioning - all and anything in the way of you transforming your wound into wisdom so you might realise and embody your true nature and potential.
Known for both supreme gentleness and candid directness, Kate will point you back to the truth of your own experience and inner wisdom — she’ll be a loving, no-bullshit companion as you make peace with the past and discover what becomes possible when you stop living from the wound alone.
Daniel Johnson
Somatic Experiencing & body-based trauma therapy
Daniel is a somatic therapist who specialises in developmental and relational trauma. His work is grounded in the understanding that the body holds its own story — that fear, grief, and overwhelm live in involuntary responses long after the mind has explained them away.
Daniel supports people to gently approach what they have spent years avoiding: oriented toward freeing the life-force bound up in old defences.
Daniel’s background spans zoology, computer science, community building and a range of healing modalities - breath, body and movement work and Somatic Experiencing and astrology. He has a lifelong curiosity about how people heal. He brings the same meticulous care to the systems behind My Core Wound as he does to the nervous systems in his therapy room.

How you can support usWhy This
Jung's idea was that for all of us, early in life, something difficult happens, a rupture, a rejection, a lack of attunement from a parent or the environment, that the ego couldn't integrate. This gets split off into the unconscious, where it becomes part of our shadow. This wound doesn't just sit there as damage; it becomes an organizing center for the personality. We build defenses around it, our complexes cluster around it. The exciting bit is that our capacity for depth, empathy, and even healing others often grows directly out of it. The wounded healer isn't wounded despite being a healer; they heal because they're wounded and have done the work of facing it consciously rather than repressing it.
For Jung individuating, becoming whole, complete, distinct and authentic is what growth and development is all about. You don't get whole by cutting off the wounded part, you get whole by making the unconscious conscious — bringing the wound into relationship with the ego instead of leaving it to run the show from underneath.
And that is what we are striving to achieve with this app. To support you in making the unconscious conscious so you can live your potential
