Sometimes the urge is less about what we want to do, and more about what we've learned to do when something inside us feels uncomfortable.

Not every urge needs to be followed.

Turns out, listening to your body isn't always the lovely, soothing experience we're sold. Sometimes your body points directly at the bit you'd rather not look at.

This week, mine showed me my relationship with needs.

Interoception can be a buzzkill.
But maybe that's the point.
Not to judge what we find - just to get curious.

For years, I've understood trauma through the lens of the nervous system, attachment, and relationships.

But this week reminded me that relationship doesn't stop with humans.

Our bodies evolved in relationship with streams, fire, birdsong, darkness, seasons, stars and mystery. Somewhere along the way, many of us inherited a world that asks us to live as though we're separate from all of it.

I'm not suggesting everyone has to believe in 'God'. I'm pointing to something more fundamental - that healing can happen when we experience ourselves as belonging again.

The body communicates through sensation.
Sometimes those sensations arise not just in the presence of another person, but while sitting beside a river, tending a fire, or allowing yourself to be held by something far bigger than your own story.

This week felt less like learning something new, and more like remembering something ancient.

For the next week, I'm swapping content creation for deep listening.

I'll be exploring trauma attunement, relational intelligence, and what it really means to 'hold space'.

The more I learn, the less interested I become in having the right answers. I'm far more interested in asking better questions.

I'll be mostly off-grid for the next seven days, letting my own body be the classroom.

See you on the other side 🖤

Healing isn't just about managing symptoms.

For many of us, trauma happened in relationship - through the loss of safety, trust and choice.

So healing often asks for something more than coping - it asks for new experiences of connection.

The body communicates through sensation.
Authentic Relating gives those sensations a voice.

That's why I weave Somatics and Authentic Relating together - not to fix people, but to support them in reclaiming agency, dignity and the freedom to choose their own path.

Cancel culture isn't just something that happens online. Sometimes it shows up in our closest relationships.

Authentic relating offers another way - one that makes room for boundaries, accountability, repair, and our shared humanity.

Love includes. Power excludes.

What's your experience of navigating conflict without cancelling each other?

Disability Pride isn't just for July. It's a reminder to challenge ableism, celebrate disabled lives, and build a world where access, dignity, and belonging are the norm 🖤

Longing For A Different Kind Of Community?

I'm considering both online and in-person circles.

If this speaks to you, comment "Circle" or send me a DM. Let's see what wants to emerge 🖤

What if your body already knows the way?

These free introductory somatics workshops are a soft doorway into reconnecting with yourself – not through fixing, analysing or pushing – but through listening.

Somatics is about coming home to the body as it is.  To sensation.  To safety.  To the subtle intelligence that’s been carrying you all along.

In these sessions, we slow things down.  We get curious.  We let the nervous system lead.

No experience is needed.  Just a body.  Just breath.  Just presence.

These spaces are intentionally contained with limited spaces – for attunement and co-regulation.  Please join the waiting list, as spaces do become available.  It’s also helpful for us to guage interest, as we are exploring the possibility of running additional workshops alongside – or following on from – the current programme.

Today's sensory delight felt especially meaningful.

A huge thank you to our lovely local supplier of organic face putty who included some clay that had been donated by our dear friend, Christopher Jones, before they died.

Their generosity is woven into this simple ritual, making it so much more than a face putty. It becomes a moment of remembrance, gratitude and connection.

It's a beautiful reminder that kindness has a ripple effect. Even after someone is gone, the gifts they shared can continue to nourish others in the gentlest of ways 🖤

Thank you for helping us honour their memory 🙏
