| JOURNALING |

There's something about writing things down that just works — it clears my head and helps me actually notice what I'm feeling instead of just carrying it around. It's also a great way to process things at my own pace, working through whatever's on my mind without pressure. A few quiet minutes with a pen can do a lot🌿📓✨

| Technical Support Spotlight |

Alongside my somatic coaching and movement work, I also offer gentle, grounded technical support for coaches and wellness practitioners. It’s a quieter part of my business, but one that makes a huge difference for people who feel drained or overwhelmed by the digital side of running their work.

Running a wellness or somatic business asks a lot of us — our energy, our presence, our creativity. And often, the online systems, platforms and admin tasks are the things that quietly chip away at our capacity.

This is where I step in. I offer calm, reliable technical support for coaches and wellness practitioners who want their online world to feel organised and manageable. Website updates, digital content, simple design tasks, scheduling tools, online platforms — all the behind‑the‑scenes pieces that keep your business moving without overwhelming your nervous system.

My approach is steady and grounded. Quiet support that helps you stay focused on the work you love.

I completed my training with Aneta Idczak Trauma-informed Somatic Coach, Trainer & Speaker through her 180‑hour Trauma‑Informed Somatic Teacher & Coach for Women Certification, and that experience continues to shape the way I support practitioners — with steadiness, clarity and nervous‑system awareness at the centre.

| ANNIVERSARIES |

It's been a year already since my husband died. An anniversary of someone’s death isn’t just a date. It’s a meaning marker, and most of that meaning lives in the body long before the mind tries to make sense of it.

Here’s what these days tend to mean for people — and what they often mean in a first year:

It means the body remembers
Even if you’re not consciously thinking about it, the nervous system often feels the approach of the day — heaviness, restlessness, tenderness, numbness, clarity. It’s not regression. It’s recognition.

It means you’ve lived a whole year carrying something enormous
A year of surviving, adjusting, rebuilding, and learning how to be in the world without him. The anniversary quietly acknowledges that labour.

It means the relationship still matters
Love doesn’t vanish because time passes. The bond changes shape, but it doesn’t disappear. Anniversaries highlight that ongoing connection.

It means there is no “should”
There is no correct emotional posture for this day. Some people feel raw. Some feel strangely steady. Some feel nothing at all. Most feel a mix.

It means you’re meeting yourself again
Anniversaries act like mirrors — showing you where you are now compared to where you were then, not as a test, but as a moment of truth.

It means you’re still here
Still moving. Still living inside a life that changed without your consent. Still finding your way.

And if today is an anniversary for you too — of a loss, a change, an ending, or a moment that reshaped you — I’m holding you in that.
There is no right way to feel.
Your body is allowed to remember in its own time, in its own way.

| EMBODIED BUSINESS MANDALA |

I attended the first day of Aneta Idczak Mid‑Year Review + Seasonal Planning Retreat today, and it felt like such a needed reset. A chance to pause, look honestly at what’s working, and gently reevaluate the direction I want to move in next.

This kind of reflective space is invaluable — it reminds me how much clarity comes when I slow down and listen to myself.

It also made me think about a blog post I wrote recently on the emotional and mental challenges of living with scoliosis — the parts no one really talks about. If you haven’t read it yet, here it is:

Looking forward to continuing the workshop next week and seeing what else unfolds.

They don’t see the emotional load of trying to manage your body and the fear that can come with new sensations or the grief of ...

| TASTER SESSION |

The next round of Aneta Idczak’s Trauma‑Informed Somatic Teacher & Coach training begins on April 18th, and I wanted to share it because it has been one of the most meaningful trainings I’ve ever taken.

It weaves together trauma‑sensitivity, somatic practice, the nervous system, and the cyclical nature of a woman’s life — all held within a space where you can show up exactly as you are. Aneta has a way of creating safety, softness, and genuine permission for your own process.

If you’d like to get a feel for the work, there’s a live Info & Taster Session this Thursday, April 9th at 12:30 PM UK time.

| SCOLIOSIS |

Scoliosis is a condition where the spine curves sideways, often creating an “S” or “C” shape rather than a straight line. It will also have a rotation. This curvature affects posture, muscle balance, and the way the body moves, leading to discomfort or uneven strength patterns. While every spine is unique, you can benefit from targeted, stabilising exercises that support alignment, improve control, and reduce strain on the back.

I provide safer, more effective core training focusing on anti‑movement exercises that teach your body to resist rotation, extension, and side‑bending. These build real stability without irritating your back.

If you want structured, scoliosis‑friendly workouts like these, I’m opening a new monthly membership — Somatic Strength for Scoliosis — with a special founding member rate. Comment or message me if you’d like the details.

| SCOLIOSIS |

For anyone who grew up with scoliosis…

What part of your scoliosis story do you wish your younger self had more support with.

Looking back now, what do you wish someone had explained, normalised, or helped you understand about your body.
The emotional side?
The physical side?
The long‑term plan?
Or simply that you weren’t alone.

I’d love to hear your experience — your story might be the thing someone else needs to read today.

| SCOLIOSIS |

For those who grew up with scoliosis…
Do you know what your original scoliosis classification was — and do you feel you were given the right care plan to support you into adulthood?

Many people were diagnosed young, given a label, and then left to “get on with it” as they grew older. Others were told their curve was “mild” and didn’t need follow‑up, only to find their symptoms changed over time. Some were supported well, and some were not supported at all.

What were you told back then — and how does your body feel now. I’d love to hear your experience.

| ONLINE COACHING |

Moving your body shouldn’t depend on rushing across town, finding parking, or squeezing yourself into someone else’s timetable. Working online gives you space to show up as you are — in your own home, in your own clothes, with your own rhythm.

So many people think strength work has to look a certain way — fast, sweaty, intense, or performed in a studio. The Somatic Strength Method takes a different approach. It’s about learning to feel your body, understand your patterns, and build strength in a way that supports your nervous system rather than overwhelming it. This is why it works well for anyone with scoliosis.

Working online actually enhances this. You’re in your own space, with fewer external cues pulling you into performance mode. You can listen more closely, move more honestly, and build strength that’s deeply connected to how you live, rest, and carry yourself through the day.

Somatic strength isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing what’s right for your body, with clarity, curiosity, and compassion — wherever you are.
