My Approach
I believe that healing takes time and isn’t necessarily linear. It requires self enquiry, patience, self care, consistent practise and support from others.
I have found that my greatest healing and transformations have come when the whole of me has been seen and held with presence, love acceptance and compassion by another. I am shown then how to offer these qualities to myself and by proxy, to others.
By offering these qualities to you in a breathwork session, you too can find a way to offer these qualities to yourself and then to ripple them out to others
This is a powerful breath practise and I approach it mindfully so that you are ready to meet what wishes to be met in a timely manner. Often it is the gentle way in that yields the most transformational results. It is important to be able to integrate your experiences in order for lasting change and healing to happen
I facilitate in a warm, respectful way and will gently draw you in to deeper enquiry into your body, mind and breath.
During sessions I draw from my background in yoga, somatic movement, meditation, and pranayama as well as incorporating other practises such as self enquiry, journaling, dance, drawing, intention setting and group discussion (if in workshops). Not all at once though!
It is my purpose to share the tools I have with others in order to give YOU the tools to feel safer and more at ease in yourself, your lived experience and your environment.
Poem
“your heart tells you big things in little ways…
little whispers and nudges. different rhythms. little truths.
the gentle ones… like ease. and safe. and ‘it's going to be ok’.
and ‘you are worthy’… maybe you don't believe those yet, but they are for you.
let them come to you again and again until you can let them in because
they are for you. they are for you. they are for you… let life hold you.
and the less gentle ones, the uncomfortable ones… the ‘this is not for you'
and the ‘you can't stay still here'… you can try to ignore them, or rearrange them,
but they're going to linger until you listen. and what they ask of you may
tangle you up and turn you inside out, but they are trying to set you free.
so take them in, and listen.
and what you don't… what you won't listen to… those aren't going to stay little.
they will become yearning. and ache. and the more you fight them, they are going
to pull at you and pull at you and pull at you until they eventually break you open…
and maybe even break you apart. but they are going to awaken you. and cleanse you.
and shift you. and grow you and grow you and grow you until they can turn you
into something so beautiful that you never before even knew you could become…
so let it all crash right into you.
you are made of heartbeats. and pulse. and instincts. and they are your compass.
and your truth. and your freedom. they are your way out… and your way home.
so let them guide you and awaken you and grow you and crash right into you if
they have to… whatever it takes for you to listen.”
