They are ways the body once learned to stay safe when safety wasn’t guaranteed. What looks like capability or endless accommodation may actually be a nervous system trying to avoid shame, maintain connection, or stay prepared for danger. Perfectionism can be an attempt to avoid criticism. People-pleasing can be a way to preserve connection. Overthinking can be a nervous system trying to anticipate threat. These patterns aren’t character flaws. They are intelligent strategies your nervous system developed when it needed to protect you. Healing often begins when we stop judging these responses and start understanding them. Your nervous system didn’t create these patterns to sabotage you - it created them to protect you. Understanding your nervous system can turn self- criticism into self-compassion.

Why healthy changes can feel uncomfortable.

29/12/2025

Over the last few years I’ve been quietly (and sometimes not so quietly 😅) working hard to deepen my skills around the mind-body connection and trauma. I’m now coming towards the end of my psychotherapeutic training, which feels both grounding and exciting. With that growth comes more learning, more experience and more to offer- and while I really don’t want to, I do need to make a small price adjustment in the new year. My prices haven’t changed since the pandemic, and from January they’ll be increasing by £5 per session only. ✨If you book a session before 1st January, I’ll honour the 2025 price ✨ I’m genuinely excited about bringing this expanded knowledge and skill set into my work, and I’ll be sharing more about new offerings as the year unfolds. Thank you, as always, for the trust, support, and conversations that make this work so meaningful 💜

If you have that person in your life who is always complaining of back pain or has been to the doctor, had physio and still they can’t get rid of that ache/pain. A gift voucher would be the perfect christmas gift. 🎁 🎄

If a glute feels or looks more contracted and you notice an imbalance, it can be due to posture or compensation and is an indication of the mind and body being out of alignment with the signals from the brain being interrupted and misfired. Stress causes our breathing to become shallow and chest based, which causes the diaphragm to get stuck up under our rib cage and in turn shuts down the hip flexors which shuts down their reciprocal muscles the glutes, and when the glutes shut down, there is a knock on effect through the entire kinetic chain. In BeActivated neuromuscular therapy, we start with the breath and release the diaphragm to create space- inviting the nervous system to settle into parasympathetic safety. The psoas (hip flexors), often held in vigilance, safely releases its protective tension. Then activating the glutes reestablishes postural stability and a felt sense of grounding- completing a full cycle from release to reconnection. We gain a sense of physical confidence and stability, strength and alignment through the kinetic chain. This sequence allows the body to move from contraction and defence toward openness and embodied safety. When the body feels safe, the brain can follow.

What an amazing few days in Oxford, at Transform Trauma 2025! Three days of so many big names in their field, delving into the science, theory and latest understanding of trauma, and how somatic practices are the way forward to support healing and how this information opens new possibilities for positive change especially across the mental health community. Thank you to for being my roomy and thank you to and so many leading experts in the field of Mental health and bodywork. Bessel Van der Kolk, Richard Schwartz, Esther Perez, Frank Anderson, David Kessler, Deran Young, Poppy Delbridge, Ruby Wax, Licia Sky, Janina Fisher, Dan Siegel, Kai Cheng Tom, Linda Thai, Scott Lyons and Marissa Nelson to name but a few. I am exhausted but my cup is full with gratitude and hope. 🙏🏼❤️
