Re-pattering shame
When shame inhabits your body, you are distressed, humiliated, and embarrassed by who you believe yourself to be.
It is a terrible feeling.
It’s an unforgiving, internal place of exclusion and a deep sense of failure that may be born of your childhood trauma, rejection, or more recent emotional wounds. Healing shame is possible and you deserve freedom from a life built on self-respect and dignity. So...How do you get there?

Why you don’t always want to be calm, relaxed and at ease…
A healthy nervous system can move through the activation of an arousal state and deactivation. The body responds rapidly to stress, returning to a relaxed state can take 20 to 60 minutes; so Relaxing on command is physiologically impossible. Also, Sometimes we simply need to release, move, express and mobilise what is alive for us.
Vulnerability in Relating
To love inherently means to be vulnerable. Vulnerability is the driving force of connection. It's brave. It's tender. It's impossible to connect without it. To be open, raw & receptive without defences.
Finding freedom through Embodiment
I am dedicated to movement and embodiment practices to increase intimacy with our bodies and inner lives and develop a greater presence within the fullness of being. Our bodies are a potential vehicle for our awakening, to return to the wisdom of our cells.
Loving through boundaries
Boundaries are permeable like our skin, allowing us to stay connected to ourselves as seperate entity and yet connected the whole or other. Boundaries allow a certain level of give and receive, permeability, reciprocity…
Knowledge grounded in bodily experience
The Felt sense is the physical place where we locate what the body knows. Once we realise that we have access to this knowing in our bodies, we can learn to cultivate it. We can practice directing our attention to it. We can develop a way of attending to ourselves that can guide us during acts of creativity.
