Experiencing yourself is for EVERYONE and I believe that every person deserves to meet their favourite version of themselves.
When I 'formally' started my journey into healing and self-knowing almost three years ago, I was the person I've listed.
I felt contained and constricted, bland and meek, and all the while, I could never slow down. Consistently saying yes to people, places, and responsibility that I didn't want, need, or align with.
It's taken time, effort, and a level of commitment, and I'm now in a space where I feel more easeful, alive, and firm in my desires and abilities. I'm not saying that somatics changed my life, but I'm not NOT saying that either 😉

If this sounds like something you want to work towards or expand into, reach out and let's work together ✨

somatic sessions will look different for every person AND these are some consistencies I aim to maintain.

learning to facilitate this work has been a mirror held up to Self and the ways I have been able to unravel and re-weave the threads that are left in the unbecoming.

our experiences matter and they shape the way we hold our daily lives. to learn the skills to hold and maintain presence in these moments has been the greatest learning.

a gift to be able to now share that.

if you are called to the work or have any questions, reach out 🙏🏻

love,

A quiet, vulnerable reflection ✨

I knew God today.
I saw Her, in the smile of a child beaming at fresh spring blooms,
In the new green growth after a long, cold winter.
I heard Her as a pair of birds sang in the sky,
As the dogs barked at passing cars and people.
I felt Her, in the warmth of the sun's rays on my face,
In the calm after the days rush had settled.
I could smell Her as I passed the open windows of a cafe,
In the floral tang of dish soap after clearing the days mess.
And I could taste Her, in my words of love and encouragement to others,
In the savoured sips of morning coffee and afternoon tea.
I knew God today, for She is One with everything and everyone.

A while back I made a call for creatives and photographers to help me bring a twinkle in my brain to life.

The idea stemmed from a thought of showcasing joy and movement and freedom and ease and contraction in photos.

To find a way to see the outcomes of studying somatics and how it has re-shaped me and my inner world in the last many months.

Recently, helped me create that.

A form of expression that I was not able to capture alone. 

There will be more shared as time goes on but for now, a deep breath and immense gratitude to Tanis for taking the time and attention to build a vision - you are magic ✨

Can't wait to see what we create next ☀️

Some key intentions I hold as we enter a session together. This list is not exhaustive but these are areas I strive to uphold in every encounter.
Reach out with any questions or further inquiries you might have.

Welcoming in Spring and the first day of a new month🌷

Updates and new offerings✨
I have officially completed year one of my somatic therapy programming with .healing and have started into year two - wild.
Year one was an expansive and explorative reintroduction to self. I learned so much about my inner world, beliefs I carry/ied, and spaces of self I long to shift.
Year two offers a more outward facing exploration of the education as we prepare to fully hold the experiences of others in their journey. Part of that work is offering 1:1 somatic sessions for others.
If you have been curious about the work or what a session with me might look like (this will develop as I learn and grow), this is a cost effective introduction.

⭐1:1 Somatic Sessions⭐
Intention/s: To deepen self-understanding and felt sensation in the body
To interact with spaces of self
To increase capacity for our experiences
When: Per client and practitioner availability
Where: Online via zoom OR in person as is comfortable
Cost: Free
Booking: DM me here or email at balancedessence@outlook.com
