You can now find me on YouTube! This is very new and I’m in the process of updating the content, but there are some videos up for you to watch and get an idea of who I am and the style of my teaching.

Watch and follow the videos to release the build up of stress and tension, and start restoring your functional movement with easy daily movements.

Drop me a comment or question, and email me if you’re interested in 1-1 tailored made sessions to address your specific movement needs.

You have everything you need to restore your functional pain-free movement and move towards wholeness and connection. I’m here to guide you and help you to remember how.

Not everyone is meant to work with me – and that’s a good thing.

I’m not here to “fix” you.
I’m here to walk alongside you while you remember how to listen to your body, regulate your nervous system, and gently reclaim your life.

I’m here to share and teach you the skills you already have to reconnect, release pain and live with more ease and joy.

My ideal clients are the ones who feel a spark when they read this and think:
“Something needs to change. I’m ready to do the work… I just don’t know how and need support.”

If you’re curious about somatic work, movement as meditation, and using your felt sense to come back to the here and now – you might just be my person.

Holding tension in our muscles, is like keeping the kettle boiling long after it’s reached boiling point, and we’ve finished our lovely cup of tea.

Holding our muscles tight uses up way more energy than is required or helpful. It’s inefficient and can lead to all kinds of problems such as pain, low energy or rarely feeling relaxed.

Functional muscles are ones that can tighten up when they’re needed to move us, like the kettle boiling water for our perfect cuppa, then those same muscles returning back down to rest, like the kettle switching off until your next cup of tea.

Take back control of your muscles and your body, so that you can enjoy fuller and freer movement. More movement means more life!

Join me for a somatic movement class and learn essential skills for a long, healthy and pain free life.

Your body is already trying to help you sleep better.

Those natural urges to stretch and yawn?

Somatic movement builds on exactly that, so you can settle into deeper, more nourishing rest.

Would you like a truly restful sleep?

Head to the links in my bio to find out more about somatic movement.

Chronic tension reduces our power and strength because it uses up our energy.

Keeping our muscles constantly held tight, even when we don’t need them, is like our heart rate always being high even when we don’t need it to be.

The great news is that you have everything within you to be able to take your muscle tension all the way back to rest, and restore your power and strength so that you always have it when you need it.

Hurrah!

Fancy trying this yourself? I’ve popped a link to a free class in my bio. Let me know how you get on.

Following the Spring Equinox, I thought it was a good reminder about slowing down time.

🕐 Our lives are busy and chaotic and time can feel like it speeds away from us.

⚓ Taking time for a somatic moment, focusing on our unspoken world, anchors us to the present moment.

⏳ You have the power & skills within to give yourself more time. You just have to remember to do it.

This weekend, when the clocks Spring forward, remember to make time to pause, reflect and be present.

To try a free class and help you take that moment, comment PAUSE. My friendly automation will send you a link for a free class to try 😊

Do you believe in things you can’t see?

Do you believe in and use WiFi?

Does it matter how much you understand it in order to connect with it, trust it and use it to open your opportunities to everything the world has to offer through the internet?

Somatics is about the felt sense, about exploring what can’t be seen and using this to indulge in the limitless possibilities of life. The less we feel, the more limited our possibilities, and we may find we’re limited to move beyond our version of reality, becoming stuck and short changing ourselves of what we can receive and offer the world.

Instead of needing to ‘know’ and intellectualising ourselves, (a brilliant way to avoid feeling!) what if we just remember to feel & reconnect with ourselves again, like getting ‘on-line’ with ourselves, much like WiFi.

Your somatic movement practise is like having the password to the most stable and fastest WiFi, and the magic part, you get to take it everywhere you go! ✨

If you’re tired of waking up tired…💤

Somatic movement can help your body unwind the day’s tension, so your nervous system is ready for truly restful, restorative sleep.

The practice peels away tension built up during the day, bringing people into a rest-and-digest state that prepares the body for nourishing sleep.

Even 5-10 minutes before bed can be very effective, and you can do some of the practice in bed.

Yawning is the body’s natural way of releasing tension. The somatic method I teach recreates this effect, helping release tension, energise, and prepare for rest.

When was the last time you had a really indulgent yawn?

Clinical somatics isn’t your average kind of pain relief.

Clinical somatics offers long term relief by taking you to the root cause of your muscular aches and pains.

Change at the root of the problem = long term change!

Are you fed up with temporary relief/short term fixes that don’t last? Are you ready to release the root cause?

If you answered YES to both of these and would like to try a Somatic class for free, head to my links in bio where a 20 minute FREE class awaits 😊
