Small Movements…Big Surprising Changes
Have you ever had one of those mornings where you wake up and your first thought is, “I just want to get out of bed without that familiar stiffness”?

Or you climb the stairs and feel that tug in your hip reminding you that age, effort, or old habits are calling the shots?
Maybe you spend an hour in the garden, something you love,and afterwards your body feels as if it’s asking for a week off.
These little moments add up. They shape how we move, how we age, and how confident we feel in our own bodies. And most people assume this is just “how things are now.”

✨Awareness Through Movement® classes offer a completely different way to restore ease, strength, and coordination without pushing, forcing, or bracing. Instead of powering through discomfort, we explore how your brain organises movement… and how gently changing that organisation can create surprising shifts.
✨When you move slowly, with curiosity rather than effort, something remarkable happens. Your nervous system begins to notice patterns, some helpful, some not, and it naturally starts choosing better options. This is why even tiny, quiet movements can lead to big changes in how you feel.
✨Imagine discovering that the stiffness you feel getting out of bed isn’t a life sentence.
✨Imagine realising your hips don’t have to carry the load alone on the stairs, your whole skeleton can contribute when it’s allowed to.
✨Imagine finishing your gardening and feeling pleasantly tired rather than defeated.

Awareness Through Movement doesn’t ask you to work harder. It invites you to work smarter, to sense more, to feel more, to move with the support of your whole skeleton instead of relying on isolated muscles or “the core.”
When your nervous system learns a clearer way to move, your body responds with ease.
✨If you’re longing for mornings that start without stiffness, stairs that don’t hurt you, or afternoons in the garden that leave you energised instead of wrecked… this approach might surprise you.
Your body hasn’t given up on you. It’s simply waiting for a new kind of conversation.

And the New Year is the perfect moment to step into it.
👉 Start 2026 by exploring what’s truly possible for your movement, your comfort, and your confidence.
Join me for Awareness Through Movement classes where you can reclaim ease, rebuild trust in your body, and rediscover the freedom you thought you’d lost.
If you’re ready for a fresh start built on clarity, not effort-send me a message to book your space.
Your body is more capable than you’ve been led to believe. Let’s give it the chance to show you.

Forget “No Pain, No Gain-Here’s Another Way

🌿 I know that living with chronic pain and anxiety can feel like being trapped in a body that no longer feels like you.

And simple things like getting dressed, reaching for a shelf, walking with ease, and enjoying time with friends can suddenly feel like huge challenges. The pain becomes a constant companion, and fear of moving only makes it worse. You may find yourself thinking, “What if I make it worse? What if my body just can’t do this anymore?”

You’ve probably tried so many things already, including physio, exercises, medication, “pushing through”, and maybe they’ve brought temporary relief, but not lasting change. It’s understandable to feel doubtful, even hopeless, wondering if anything will really help.

Here’s the thing: your body isn’t broken. It’s protecting you the best it can. But what if instead of fighting against it, you could learn to work with it?

I work with you,not on you so you can build a new relationship with your body. By slowing down, listening, and gently exploring your movement, you can teach your nervous system new patterns of ease instead of tension, of balance instead of strain, which is rooted in the Feldenkrais Method.

It’s not about pushing harder. It’s about learning how to move with awareness, so your body feels safe again. From this place, real change can happen:
✨ Reduced pain with more comfort and ease
✨ Confidence to move without fear
✨ Improved health and energy for daily life
✨ A sense of coming home to yourself

Can you imagine waking up and not waiting for the pain to kick in? Can you imagine walking through your day with more freedom, more trust in your body, and a little more joy?
If you’ve tried everything else and still feel stuck, maybe it’s time to try a different way, a gentler way. Your body is ready to learn, and it’s never too late to feel like yourself again.

😣 Are you 40 and above living with back pain that feels endless?

You want one thing: to move freely again without pain.
To be able to get out of bed without wincing, to walk without holding, and to be able to sit comfortably at work.

But instead…
⚡ You fear it’ll only get worse, or it’s just part of ageing.
⚡ You dread losing your independence.
⚡ You wonder, “Will I be stuck with this forever?”

So you try the usual fixes thinking this is the solution.
💊Painkillers.
✨Core exercises.
✨Treatments that help for a while but never last.

But deep down you still hold the belief that,
“My back is weak.”
“I just need to push harder.”
“I’ll always have pain.”

But what if the real problem isn’t your back at all?
What if it’s your old patterns of holding onto tension, injuries and accidents by guarding yourself that keep you locked in pain? 🌀

The shift begins when you see strength differently.
💫 Not about tightening muscles.
💫 But about your skeleton supporting you with ease 🦴.
💫 Letting your nervous system unwind.

I am a Feldenkrais Practitioner who works with the Nervous System, with expertise in anatomy. My teaching is focused on your safety, particularly for those with bone health issues.

With the Feldenkrais Method, your identity changes:
From “someone with a bad back”, you become “someone who can move with freedom and trust.”
And from thinking “I must fight my body” to “I can connect with my body.”

You are not broken. 💜
You just need a gentle new direction.
