This feels like a really vulnerable share, but also an important one.

As somebody who works within the world of breathwork, somatics and nervous system healing, I absolutely believe emotions can live within the body.

But I also think some people living with chronic pain are carrying real mechanical issues that have been minimised, overlooked or left unexplained for years.

And when that happens, it can become very easy to believe your body is somehow failing you.

Mine isn’t.

It’s been protecting me this whole time.💚

There’s a part of me today that’s wondering if I shared too much. If I should have held it together a bit more and looked a bit more “like myself”

And I recognise this feeling, It’s what happens after I let myself be seen in a really real way. It’s not regret, it’s my nervous system trying to find safety again. By Scanning, questioning, wanting to retreat back into my shell!!

A kind of vulnerability hangover and instead of pulling back or shutting that part down, I’m meeting it.

Letting it know I’m safe to be seen like this.
That I don’t have to perform or polish myself to be worthy of being here! ! 🤍

There’s a difference between pain… and what pain awakens.

This recent flare up hasn’t just been physical.
It’s been a doorway.

A doorway into the parts of me that never felt heard.
The parts that were told I was “too much”
or that what I was feeling wasn’t really happening.

And if I’m honest…
that’s been the harder part to sit with.

Not the pain itself, although it’s recently taken me to my absolute limit, but the echo of being unseen inside of it.

When the body is in pain, the nervous system doesn’t just respond to the sensation, it responds to the story attached to it

Am I safe?
Am I believed?
Do I matter?

This is where my work meets me, not as the facilitator
but as the human.

Breathing with the sensations. Listening instead of overriding. Letting my body finally finish something it never got to complete.

If you’re moving through something right now
whether it’s physical, emotional, or both, notice what it’s touching beneath the surface

Because sometimes what we’re really healing
is the moment we weren’t met.

So can we meet ourselves here and hold ourselves with deep compassion and allow ourselves to be seen?

And can we continue to walk together? 🤍

I’m not sure why I’m feeling the need to document this process I’m going through but I feel that it may speak to some of you that maybe on a similar journey as me.

So I’m hoping this journey that I’m inviting you on will be one of support and identification. Or maybe it’ll be something else?

Much love
Bonnie ♥️

Lately I’ve been saying to a close friend, “are you in the well?”

It’s something we ask each other when life feels heavy, when things feel hard, when we’re in it.

And the other night, I dreamt of it.

I was at the bottom of a well… but it wasn’t dark or tight or suffocating.
It was wide, open, almost like a cave.
There was so much light pouring in from above.

And I wasn’t alone. We were both there.
Two deer, just gently moving, existing, together in that space.

It stayed with me.

Because in waking life, I am in my own version of the well right now. Navigating this ongoing journey with my back, chasing doctors, referals, sitting in debilitating pain that no one else can actually feel but me.

And that part can feel lonely.

But at the same time… I’ve been met with so much care. Messages, calls, people reaching out. Reminding me that even when the experience is personal, I’m not alone in it.

And that’s what the dream felt like.

The deer, for me, carries something really tender.
Sensitivity, intuition, the courage to stay open-hearted.
Not armouring up, even when it would be easier to.
Trusting the body, listening deeply, moving gently with what is.

And maybe that’s the real medicine here.

Not getting out of the well as quickly as possible, but allowing there to be light in it, allowing there to be company in it.

Because support doesn’t always remove the difficulty, but it can soften the way we move through it.

I also know that for many of us, receiving support isn’t straightforward. If it hasn’t always been there, or it’s come with conditions, or expectations, it can feel unfamiliar, even unsafe to lean into.

So we stay in it alone. But what if we didn’t have to?

What if there are people who can sit with us in the well, not to fix, not to rescue, but just to be there.

And what if we allowed ourselves to be seen there too?

I’m still learning that.
Still softening into that.

But I’m feeling the difference it makes.

So maybe this is your gentle nudge,
if you’re in your own version of the well right now…

Who could you reach for?
And if someone is reaching towards you,
can you let them?

I want to take a moment to thank everyone who has supported me through the last 5 days.

Unfortunately I was rushed to A&E on Saturday with suspected cauda equina syndrome after my back went into one of its many spasms and I was unable to walk or put any pressure on my spine. Thankfully the emergency MRI ruled that out 🙏🏼

Some of you know I’ve been on a journey of many decades fighting for the care and treatment I need. Living with degenerative disc disease and chronic pain that is debilitating. But nobody sees that through the smiles and how I can move my body.

It can leave me feeling really lonely and misunderstood. Feeling dismissed, everything being minimalised , but this time feels like, what I can only describe as a deep initiation!

Having to dig deep to the depth of my core to manage this pain. To meet myself and my body at these difficult edges and still find the strength within me. My fire, my resilience my tenacity! But this flare up was different and I was really scared.

Those of you that have supported me through this has given me a much needed reminder that I’m not on my own with this and I deeply, deeply thank you all from the WHOLE of my heart. ♥️

Something deep is happening here, a deep personal process that I feel will change me completely when I’m on the other side of this. It already is.

So I’m deeply grateful to all of you who are supporting me. I’m deeply grateful to how strong my breath is that helped me chug on the gas and air like a woman in labour! 🤣

And to those of you that live with chronic pain and are on the merry go round I FEEL YOU! I’m WITH you! We continue the fight and take care of our beautiful bodies even when it feels hopeless. There is always Hope 💫

Let’s continue to support each other 🙏🏼

It’s completely normal to feel like
“I don’t know what’s happening”
or
“This feels like it’s getting worse”

when you begin this work.

You’re not doing it wrong.
You’re in it.

Presence isn’t a quick fix.
It’s a relationship.

With your body
your emotions
your experience

And over time,
what once felt overwhelming
becomes something you can sit with, move with, breathe with.

That’s the shift.

I have the honour of holding this Saturday’s free community breathwork session with

Once a student, now a mentor, and still someone who returns to this space most weeks to simply breathe… there’s something really special about that for me.

This is an open invitation to come and be with your breath. Whether it’s your first time, or you’ve been breathing for years, you’re so welcome here.

Breathing the same oxygen, each of us arriving with our own rhythm, our own experiences, our own inner world. And within that, the breath gently connecting us in this shared space.

Come as you are, bring your beautiful animal body, and let the breath meet you exactly where you’re at.

We look forward to welcoming you. See you Saturday!! 🤗

So much of what we’ve been taught
is to search for answers outside of ourselves.

To analyse, to fix, to control. But presence invites something very different

It asks us to stop chasing resolution
and start listening. To the body, to the emotions and to the quiet signals beneath the noise.

Because the “drama” we experience in life often lives on the surface.

It pulls our attention into what’s happening rather than what’s being felt

And yet…it’s in the feeling that the real shift begins.

When we stay with the quality of our experience instead of trying to escape it we begin to return
to the root.

Not rushing, not forcing, just meeting ourselves as we are. Exactly where we’re at.

And over time…that changes everything.

For me, being able to resolve conflict is really important.
To have the conversation. To clear the air. To make sure both people are heard.

It doesn’t have to be deep or heavy, but I don’t tend to just shut the door and walk away without at least trying to understand what’s happened.

And I’ve realised not everyone is like that.

Some people will shut the door quickly when there’s conflict. Cut things off. Decide they’re done.

Others will lean in. Want to talk it through. Keep the connection.

And I don’t actually think one is “simply” right or wrong.

A lot of it comes down to the nervous system.

For some, conflict doesn’t feel safe. So the body protects by shutting down, pulling away, or avoiding the conversation altogether.

For others, there’s more capacity to stay present, to sit in the discomfort, to communicate and try to repair.

That capacity isn’t random.

It’s shaped by what we experienced growing up, how safe it felt to express ourselves, whether things got resolved or avoided, and how resourced we feel in ourselves now.

The work isn’t about judging which one you are.

It’s about becoming aware of your pattern.

Do you tend to pull away when things feel uncomfortable?
Or do you lean in and try to work through it?

And does that way of being actually serve the kind of relationships you want in your life now?

No right answer. Just something to notice.

This feels vulnerable to share, and it’s a side of me I haven’t shown on here before. In fact it’s a side of me most people don’t see apart from my daughter.

Some days, I am completely flooded by pain. You can see it in my face.
Pain that has been consistently and relentlessly progressive for the last 15 years. A lot of the work I offer now has come from trying to support my own body through that.

And still, even with all of these tools, there are days where it floors me.

Days like today, where I can’t escape my own body. Where I wish I could just switch everything off for an hour, just to have some relief. Where my nervous system feels completely at capacity and I don’t know what to do with myself or how to even sit or lie comfortably.

Where I feel misunderstood because people see me moving well and smiling!

And in those moments, I come back to something simple.

I lie down in nature.

I breathe.

I let the earth hold me.

I let the sounds around me begin to soften the edges of what feels unbearable. I use my breath to slow things down, even just a little, enough to come back into something that feels more manageable. And then the tears come.

There is something so powerful about remembering that this planet is always here, holding us, even when life feels really hard.

She never stops.

And when it feels like I have nowhere else to go, I come back to my breath, and I come back to nature.

And for that, I am deeply grateful.
