My journey and influences to date
A few words about me. I’m a highly sensitive person who feels and thinks deeply. I continue to navigate how to be both firm with my boundaries and compassionate in my understanding of the drama and complexities of my family dynamics. I’ve deep dived into psycho/somatic education, a gamut of esoteric practices, and have also spent time in a corporate role, all of which inform my open-minded yet grounded approach. Body-oriented practices and therapeutic care I’ve received over the past few decades have had the most impact in my own journey - it is from this embodied place that I offer what I do.
Moving towards self-connection. Through the explorations since my teens in yoga, dance and active meditation, movement has been a means of giving expression where words cannot; a powerful way of connecting to grounding, boundaries and power and a profound gateway to resting within a space of quiet ease. These movement practices have helped me through the anxiety of being a sensitive person in a busy world, and the deep desire I have to support others to do the same stem from there.
Trusting the body’s wisdom. Over the years, I’ve grown curious about movement of a subtler kind, listening to the inner rhythms through body-based therapies. These essential rhythms are in our heartbeat, the wave of our breath, the energetics of our system. I believe that if the body is listened to and tended to with openness, friendliness and safety, the body’s innate inclination to wellness will restore us back to health, flow and well-being.
It is this way of nature that remains my continuous teacher - to flow and not force, and to trust that we are uniquely created to live fully, frankly and unabashedly.
