Let yourself be without the subtle aggression of trying to change the way you are.

So many of us carry this quiet tension, always on guard against ourselves, shoulders tight, breath shallow, mind scanning for flaws to fix.

What if you paused that for a moment?
What if you let your body, your breath, your being be exactly as it is, without pushing or pulling at it?

That pause is not laziness, and it’s not giving up. It’s a doorway.

A chance for your nervous system to feel safety again.

A chance for ease to show itself, quietly, without force.

Notice what shifts when you stop fighting yourself. Sometimes that’s when the real change begins.

If this lands for you, my work is all about helping people feel that kind of ease. Come join me in class or explore my Pelvic Potency program—you’ll find the links in my bio.

Headaches.
Neck pain.
Leaking when you sneeze.
Feeling hunched no matter how much you try to “stand tall.”

Often it starts with the jaw.
When your jaw clenches, your breath can’t drop, your pelvic floor overworks, and your whole centre stiffens. That’s when posture collapses and everything feels heavier.

Most people try to fix posture by yanking their shoulders back. But if the jaw, breath, and pelvis are locked, the upper body has no chance.

When the jaw softens, the diaphragm moves, the pelvic floor responds, and the spine decompresses. Posture begins to organise itself — not by force, but by ease.

This is why in my classes and workshops, we don’t force the body into alignment. We free the jaw, the breath, and the pelvis, and let the nervous system remember how to carry you.

✨ If this speaks to you, comment ease and I’ll send you details for the next class and Pelvic Potency workshop.

No matter how thick the clouds, the sun is still there.

You might not feel its warmth on your skin or see its light in the sky, but it hasn’t gone anywhere. It’s simply hidden for a while, waiting for the storm to pass.

Your body is the same.
Even when tension, pain, or overwhelm make it hard to move or breathe with ease, the potential for ease is still there. It doesn’t disappear, it waits.

When we work together, we’re not forcing the clouds away. We’re creating space for your own light to break through, in its own time, in its own way.

Working with me can look like attending an Awareness Through Movement class on Mon or Fri moorings or coming for a 1:1 Functional Integration session

I look forward to meeting you

Feeling good
Feeling loved, needed and wanted
Is medicine for our soul.

There’s a steadiness that comes when you stop trying to wrestle life into your timeline.

When you’ve been carrying pain or discomfort for so long, it’s natural to want it gone yesterday. To push, fix, and force your way forward. But the body doesn’t work on command. Healing moves on its own rhythm, and the more we try to rush it, the more it resists.

The nervous system has a pace it trusts. When you honour that, change starts to feel safe enough to land. Muscles soften. Breath drops lower. The mind stops bracing for the next blow.

This is the work we do together.

Not forcing change, but creating the conditions for it to arrive in its own time. And when it does, it’s no longer fragile. It’s yours to keep.

If you’ve been feeling foggy, anxious, short of breath,
even when nothing’s wrong,
You’re not imagining it.

Your diaphragm might be caught in a holding pattern.

This dome-shaped muscle under your ribs isn’t just for breathing.
It influences everything from your nervous system to your digestion, posture, and energy levels.

When it can’t move freely, breath gets stuck in the upper chest.
You might feel wired, tired, emotional, or flat.
And no matter how many deep breaths you try to take, it doesn’t shift.

But when the diaphragm begins to release,
when you learn to feel it moving again,
oxygen flows, carbon dioxide clears, and the whole system settles.

Mental fog lifts.
Emotions soften.
Your centre returns.

In my classes, we don’t teach you to breathe better by trying harder.
We show you how to move with your breath
so your body remembers how to breathe you.

Good morning, how are you all doing today?

I'm here doing some soul searching and pulled these 3 cards from my Osho Zen Tarot deck.
Thought I'd share as the reading has brought to light an interesting distinction for me.

First card is Exhaustion and it's exactly how I've been feeling lately.
The second is Intensity.

The distinction given is this.

When we're doing everything that needs to be done through an identity, a character who needs to be seen as capable, successful, doing the right thing, we become hard. We go about our lives carrying this 'character' around like an armour, investing our life force into keeping it intact. Always reacting to situations through it, not directly.
Hence, Exhaustion. This way of being is unsustainable and yet the most common way for those who have lived through trauma exist, survive.

The second card named Intensity is described as an energy which belongs in the vertical world of the present moment as opposed to the horizontal world of space and time.
Living life through this lens brings us into a state of presence, not following or initiating but discovering our true essence and living through it.
This is the state of consciousness we all crave at our core, I believe. But conditioning often holds us back. Ideas of right and wrong, duties to others and oftentimes shame and guilt at the very thought of shifting focus to our inner truth.

The final card is Awareness and is described as a state of observing with gentle presence as the veil of illusion melts away. It's not a state of 'doing' and there is no need to struggle, just presence.
Through this state of being we can settle and remember that at the centre of all the activity, we are simply the witness.
It describes that it's not possible to live the life we crave while we carry around the burdens of our past and the projections of the future.

Awareness through Movement is what I teach.

Sometimes it’s not the big breakthrough or the long retreat.

It’s a quiet moment.
The right thing, at the right time, in the right place.
And something shifts.

Maybe it’s a breath landing deeper than it ever has.
A release in your jaw you didn’t even know you were holding.
A sense that your body isn’t the enemy—it’s been trying to speak to you all along.

In my work, these are the moments I see again and again.

Not flashy.
But profound.

When a person feels their pelvic floor respond without trying.
When they sense their diaphragm actually move.
When they catch themselves not bracing.
It’s like their system whispers, “Yes. This.”

That’s what nervous system-based, embodied work can do.
It meets you exactly where you are—no forcing, no fixing.

Because when your body finally feels safe enough to reorganize,
Change doesn’t have to be dramatic to be real.
It just needs the right condition to unfold.

And then?
The whole story starts to change.

What is self care supposed to look like?

Tonight it looked like a hydrating mask,
a glass of Rosé,
my dog curled up by the fire,
and a friend I can exhale with.

Honestly?
I don’t always take great care of myself.
I skip meals.
Scroll too much.
Forget to move.
Forget to pause.

But lately, I’ve been choosing myself a little more often.
Letting things be softer.
Noticing what actually feels good.

That feels like self care to me.

And when I need help remembering how to come back to myself,
I lean into the same practices I share with clients—
movement, breath, and a little nervous system kindness.

What does care look like for you these days?
