I am the mover
whose feet are sinking into cold wet sand
my hands are raised above my head
I feel dry, warm wind on the thin skin between my fingers
I reach down to my right and push my fingers into the ground
I feel the cold wet sand rearrange and coat the thin skin between my fingers
My spine curls upwards
Red sand paint slops from my fingers
Wet sand rearranges to dry

Thank you to everyone who travelled to Bristol today for May’s Institute for Integrative Bodywork and Movement Therapy introductory day: a rich taste of developmental movement patterns, embodied anatomy, and authentic movement. I so enjoyed assisting and meeting you all. Thank you to Ali Rose for leading us!

Thank you to everyone who has shown online support over the last few days. It’s an edgy thing, putting your work into the world, so thank you for witnessing me with kindness.

Very hot out there this bank holiday Monday, I’m appreciating my skin working hard to keep me cool (with help from a homemade hat!) Be gentle with your body, if you’re in the UK this will take some adjusting so give yourself time and all the water, shade, and slowness you need

Didn’t we have a lovely time the day we went to Dawlish!

What a lot of talent on show at Turn the Tide 2026 festival. The weather was a sunny spring breeze, just right for lots of music, movement, and a good old natter. I loved the focus on climate and coastal wildlife; my discovery of the day was how many beautiful sea slugs are mooching around the rock pools here… I feel a summer sea slug quest coming on!

Met so many lovely people today, thanks to everyone who came for a chat at my stall in the wellbeing zone and taster sessions in the garden.

First event tomorrow! Turn the Tide 2026 festival celebrates climate and coastal awareness.

The theme this year is “Keeping Cool,” so I’m offering a free movement meditation inspired by our local friend, the jellyfish!

Drift over to my stall in the wellbeing area for a chat, and maybe take one home with a guided practice to enjoy.

The festival runs 10-4 at the Dawlish College site.

I'll be assisting on Saturday 30th May in Bristol, which is now fully booked - looking forward to meeting you all. IBMT's workshops are usually booked up well in advance - find out more at https://ibmt.co.uk/workshops-4/

The majority of our workshops get fully booked well ahead, so please book early to secure your place.

We have a couple more opportunities to attend a a workshop:

Sunday 26th April 2026 – Devon – Early Bired rate ends on 28th Feb.

Sat 30th May 2026 – Bristol – Early Bird Rate ends 3rd April.

These day workshops are open to all – no prior experience or knowledge needed, just an interest in moving and learning about the felt sense of the body. Have time to land and move; be guided to begin to connect with some of the structure of our bodies, as you breathe and take some time to settle your attention.
