She came in with:

👉Right hip out — misaligned by obligation
👉Right knee pain — resentment + fear of letting people down
👉Right jaw tight — holding in truth
👉Shoulder tension (plus cancer markers) — over-responsibility, collapse

A nurse for 30+ years.
Now her husband is terminal and preparing for euthenasia yet without discussion, everyone assumed she would care for him 24/7 till then.

How she felt about this arrangement?
No one asked.
Not even him.
No one asked her how she was coping

Why?

Because she always gives.
Always over-functions.
Always says yes…..even when her body is screaming no.

But this time… her body said it for her.

💔 She was angry.
😔 She was tired.
😩 She felt guilty for wanting space.

And when I named the truth her body was holding?

Her body literally did a big sigh.
She cried.

Because for the first time, she was seen as a woman.
Not just a nurse. Not just a wife.
But a human being with limits.

Her body wasn’t broken.
It was brilliant.

This is what we do in Somacode™:
We don’t fix.
We decode.
We liberate.

If your body is holding more than your words can say…

✨ You’re not crazy.
✨ You don’t have to carry it all.
✨ You don’t have to abandon yourself to be loved.

DM me “SOMACODE” if you’re ready to listen to your body and finally be heard.

Your fascia isn’t just tissue, it’s your soul’s storage system.

Your body isn’t made of trauma. It’s made of water that remembers.

There’s a reason water feels so cleansing.
A reason you cry in breathwork.
Shake during my protocol Somacode™.
See colours, visions, or memories during deep stillness or breathwork.

It’s not random.
It’s biology & frequency working together.

Why?
Fascia is the connective tissue that weaves your whole body together, is made of 70% structured water.

Not just hydration.
Memory water.

Water that holds:
• Old emotional imprints
• Intergenerational patterns
• Suppressed grief or fear
• The parts of you that were never heard or held

So when the nervous system downshifts and breath softens and into body stillness…

The water inside you begins to “thaw”. So does the
memories, patterns, and pieces of you that were frozen in time.

This is why healing isn’t just “talking it out.”
It’s listening to what your fascia is ready to release.
Not by force, but by creating enough safety for it to move.

✨ The body remembers.
✨ The breath opens the door.
✨ And when you’re ready, your inner world awakens.

This is the heart of Somacode™.
Not healing through force — but through biological awakening.

If your body speaks in symbols, emotion, or sensation — it’s not random.
It’s remembrance.

DM me WATER if you’re ready to understand the language of your body

He came in with pain on the outside of his left foot.

But it wasn’t “just” his foot.

After tracking the pattern, we found:
🦵 Unstable left knee
💪 Tension in the left shoulder
💔 A heart guarding emotions he didn’t feel “safe” to speak aloud

He said he was just overtired.

But the truth was:
His body was tired of pretending.

The stress he thought was “work-related” was really the emotional backlog of holding it all together at home. 😢

And the foot?
It revealed a belief deep in his system:

👉 “Being sensitive is weak.”
👉 “As a man, I need to keep it together.”

But the body never lies.

We worked gently through the resistance.

Not to “fix” him, but to give his body full permission:
🥰To feel.
🥰To forgive himself.
🥰To speak what’s been silenced.

His nervous system didn’t need pushing……

It needed honesty.
Clarity.
And the freedom to let the shame drop away. 💖

His running?
That’s his medicine ie his meditation.
But even that had become a distraction from the deeper truth.

This is the magic of somatic decoding.

Your body speaks when your words cant be found.
If you’re curious what your body is trying to tell you

DM me Decode and let’s chat.

This is part of what I teach in SomaCode™

For:
Holistic healers & bodyworkers who are ready to stop treating symptoms and start listening to their body

𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐄 𝐃𝐀𝐘𝐒 𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐄𝐗𝐓𝐑𝐀 𝐒𝐔𝐏𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓.

Not because you’re falling apart.
But because you’re expanding.

Today was one of those days for me.

After clearing my home of excess clutter, the quantum field responded fast.
Old energy out.
Big shifts in.
And my body felt it.

Overwhelm crept in…
Not from stress.
But from movement.
The inner tectonic plates were shifting.

So I turned to my usual 5 daily mental health supports —
but today, I upped it to 6 (sometimes its 7 but minimum 3 to support myself)
Why?
Because expansion sometimes asks for more.

Noise-cancelling earphones
To soften the stimulation.
To come back to my centre.

A walk in nature or some form of grounding
(Always part of my top 5)
To regulate.
To let the Earth hold me.
To return to rhythm.

These are my anchors.
Not to escape life, but to stay present with it,
even when it’s changing form.

Because healing doesn’t always feel good.
Sometimes it’s too much, too fast, too loud.

And in those moments,
we don’t need to fix.
We just need to support.

So let me ask you:
What are 5 things you do each day to support your nervous system?

Drop one below — you might inspire someone else today.
And if you’re not sure where to start?

Message me “support” and I’ll share some simple, powerful ways you can come back to your body, with zero pressure and full presence.

𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐁𝐄𝐑 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐒.

For years, we were taught to shake it out.
Move the energy.
Clear the blocks.
Do something.

And yes, movement is medicine.
It brings the fire back.
The aliveness in the body.
The breath.

But for some… that’s not where the clarity lands.

It’s not in the sweat.
It’s not in the song listening to.
It’s not in the doing.

It’s in the pause.
The sit.
The silence between thoughts.

Because in stillness, there’s no performance.
No bypass.
No fixing - at all.

Just the raw, clear truth waiting to be heard.

Some regulate by moving.
Others regulate by witnessing.
One isn’t better.
But one is likely yours.

So if you’ve judged yourself for not “doing enough”…
This is your permission slip.
To honour the way your body reveals.

To stop chasing energy
And start listening to what’s already there.

No shame.
No force.
Just remembrance.

You’re not broken.
You’re not lazy.
You’re not less spiritual.

You’re wired for stillness.
And that… is sacred.

Curious to explore this in your own body?

I’m running a free 5-day challenge to help you come home to your nervous system, decode your body’s truth, and learn how to regulate without force.

DM me CHALLENGE and I’ll send you the invite.
Your body knows. Let’s listen together.

Mine?
It usually begins at 5am.
Sometimes start meditation first, other times like today, Zoom call in PJs with Mentor to receive insight and growth within our Mastermind group

Not because I “have to”
But because I choose to set my day up on purpose.

My current morning rhythm:
✨ Breathwork
✨ Meditation
✨ Smoothie
✨ Stretching, yoga, gym or weights
✨ Teaching at times + morning meetings

Then I’m ready.
Not just to “work” — but to lead.

Because when my nervous system is anchored
Everything flows

I even have a little system I follow daily:
My Mental Health x5
Five things I do every single day to regulate, reset, and stay connected

It’s not about perfection
It’s about patterning safety into the body on repeat

What’s one thing you do to support your nervous system in the morning?

Or…
Do you want to learn your own version of Mental Health x5?

Message me and I’ll share how I built mine
You don’t need to feel scattered, we start small, and it builds from there 💛

𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘 𝐃𝐈𝐃𝐍’𝐓 𝐒𝐀𝐘 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃𝐒

But I felt the implication.

Too much.
Too intense.

Familiar.

But I didn’t take the bait.
Didn’t defend.
Didn’t shrink.

I’ve spent years untangling my nervous system
From the belief that I must be palatable to be loved.

My intensity isn’t a problem.
It’s a frequency.

And not everyone feels safe
In the presence of raw, unfiltered light.

Later, a small thing — a tech zoom call didn’t happen.
But my body registered it.
Deeply.

“I’ve been forgotten.”
A thread I know well.

And without thinking — I reached for yoghurt and fruit.
Not hunger.
Just soothing.
Just habit.

But I caught it.
I watched it.
I stayed.

No shame.
No spiralling.
Just presence.

Just love for the part of me
That once overgave to feel safe.

That’s the medicine.

Not fixing.
Not running.
Just truth.
Just staying.

You are safe now.
You are not too much.
And this…
This is the real work.

Does this land in your body too?
Have you been noticing these patterns?

You don’t have to hold it alone.
And you don’t have to keep performing safety to be loved.

✨ If this resonates, and you’re ready to meet these patterns with truth,
DM me.

It’s not mindset work.
It’s body-based remembrance.

Come home to the part of you that never needed fixing — just witnessing

𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐀𝐓 𝟏𝟏𝐀𝐌, 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐓𝐔𝐃𝐈𝐎 (𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐕 𝐂𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐂) 𝐒𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐋𝐄𝐒.
🤩

We celebrate the end of a powerful 12-year chapter.

When I first bought that space, I couldn’t have imagined the journey ahead.
Five months later, my 5 month marriage ended — suddenly.
I found myself without a home.

I stayed with a client for 7 weeks.
I even considered living at the clinic.
Eventually, I borrowed $25K from my ex-husband to buy the home I live in now.

That space became my sanctuary.
It held my rebuild.
Its held thousands of stories sessions, tears, huge breakthroughs.
It held me.

I opened 7 days a week. I had 10 staff. A small reception and two rooms.
In this space, I navigated separation, motherhood, burnout/breakthrough, a full-on kundalini awakening all within those walls.
So much energy has moved through there.
So many lives transformed.
Mine included.

And now?
It’s time.
Not with sadness.
But with gratitude.
With clarity.

Because endings create space for what’s next. Yayyyyyy 🥰🤩🙌

So here’s to new energy.
New direction.
And a whole new chapter opening.
Im sooooo excited!!

If you’ve ever been in that space with me — thank you.
You helped make it what it was. 💗

And if you’re in a transition of your own — trust it.
It’s not the end.
It’s the portal. 🔥

𝐆𝐔𝐄𝐒𝐒 𝐖𝐇𝐎’𝐒 𝐖𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐓𝐎 𝐁𝐎𝐃𝐘 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐁𝐀𝐓 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 𝐈𝐍 𝟏𝟎 𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐒?!

Yep — me 🙋‍♀️
And this time… the reason is completely different.

10 years ago, I was a serious gym ju**ie
Workaholic
Party girl
Always busy
Always doing
Anything to avoid feeling what was really under the surface

It all caught up with me
I burnt out — hard
And it changed everything

My body made me stop
Because I wouldn’t listen

(And as I always say:
If you won’t listen… your body will make you)

That burnout became the beginning of something new
I learned what actually feeling meant
What presence felt like
What true nervous system regulation really is

And now — a decade later
I’m walking back into Body Combat
Not to run from my emotions
But to support my body
To strengthen her
To move with intention
To match her wisdom with power

The new goal:
Combat + gym + my beloved yoga
Cardio strength from a place of honour, not avoidance

Because a healthy body = a healthy mind
And when the body is listened to
Everything shifts

So I’m curious…
Is your body asking for something new?
Something deeper than routine or reaction?

Try a sacred pause. What is your body saying?
Before it makes you stop 💛

They’re often how you try to close the gap inside yourself.

The one who over-gives acts of service…🔧
Might be aching to feel useful
To matter
To be chosen

The one who pours words of affirmation…🗣️
Might be seeking reassurance
To feel enough
To finally feel safe being seen

The one who clings to quality time…🫁
Could still be chasing presence that was missing as a child

The one who touches often…🫂
Might be soothing a nervous system that never learned safe co-regulation

The one who gives gifts…🎁
May be offering symbolic “I see you”s
Because that’s what they always longed to hear

Questions to reflect on:

What if your dominant love language was also your coping strategy?
What if it’s not just how you love……
But how your inner child learned to feel safe?

It takes maturity to realise:
• Real love isn’t about projecting your needs onto someone else
• It’s about understanding what they need to feel loved
• And getting honest about what you need to feel whole — without outsourcing it

Sometimes that means:
→ Serving yourself before serving others
→ Learning how to receive the love you say you crave
→ Letting your body know:
You’re safe now.

Because love isn’t just a language
It’s a frequency

And when it flows from fullness — not fear, It transforms everything.

25 PEOPLE WAITING.
Tech not working.
Music dead.

This was this morning
And class was about to start.

In moments like this, I’m so grateful I know how to calm my nervous system.
Because this is the real practice —
Yoga, breathwork, and meditation off the mat.

It would’ve been easy to spiral, panic, or rush
But instead — I paused
I breathed
I chose presence

Two admins tried to fix the tech
Still nothing

Then one beautiful student offered her phone
Yes, there were ads
Yes, the sound glitched
But we were grateful

Because it meant we could move together
And if not? I would’ve taught in silence
(I’ve done that before too)

The real lesson?
Let go of control. Trust life.

Like water in a stream
It doesn’t fight the rocks
It flows around them
Works with what is
Moves through

This is the freedom we find when we stop needing things to be perfect
And start responding with presence

It’s what I teach my clients too:
Find your anchors.
Choose your tools.
Breathe when it would be easier to tense.

If you’re ready to build your own nervous system toolbox & to break toxic family patterns

I’m running a FREE 5-day challenge

DM me “READY” and I’ll send you the link 💛
