JOURNEY TO HEALING JOY❤️🙌🏽🙏🏽

‘I don’t feel right.  There’s something wrong with me, there’s something wrong with my stomach.  I’m not right’

I used to think this constantly.

I faced a constant feeling of unease, restlessness and anxiety.

Somehow I didn’t feel safe, content, part of the ‘whole’.  I felt confused and unsettled.

called me one day

‘Muma, you’ve got to go try Cranio’
‘What is it?’
‘I don’t know, but you’ll love it’

And boy, oh boy was she right (thank you Mama B!)❤️🙏🏽

9 years ago today I qualified as a Craniosacral Therapist, from the

The one year, intensive course, was a catalyst to peeling away the layers of trauma, fear, shock, shame and guilt. 

It has completely changed my life.

It led me to freedom, joy and my connection to Source.  The feeling of being loved and at home.

It lay the foundations for my own unique form of healing. My gifts of encompassing ancient primordial sounds, instinctive touch and imagery.  

I give heartfelt thanks to all those who have made this journey delicious and possible. 

To all the ‘guinea pigs’ who lay down and trusted me to chant and hum the right songs. 

To all the tutors and therapists who became friends and mentors and supported me to start tutoring myself.

SACRED SPACE - JOY❤️🙏🏽🙌🏽👶🏽🍼

Preparing for Thursdays session 😻

Entering a sacred space, where new souls are being brought into the world, must be such a joy and privilege 🙌🏽❤️🙏🏽

To support and nurture the mamas, with gentle words of encouragement, listening to them and reinforcing their needs in the moment.

It’s what the women were called to do.

To hold hands, lean against each other, be held and rocked when the fear arose, and to know and feel, deep down in their bones, that they are safe, they are held, they are loved.

Focussing on the heart, and the love, compassion and gratitude that it holds, can shift you frequencies and energies. It resonates from the body, connecting with others.

We’re gonna explore, move, sing and meditate our way to heart joy, wooooooo🙌🏽❤️🙏🏽

your fabulous book flew out a drawer just in time!!!

BIG-UP BRADFORD - HOPE & JOY🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤️🙌🏽🙏🏽

6 years ago, we moved to Shipley, Bradford.

‘What do you wanna move there for? It’s a right s@&t hole?’

But I fell in love with BD❤️

I could see and feel the potential in Bradford, was welcomed into groups, communities and homes, have tasted the rich culture and world foods👌🏽

The new is another boost to the city, alongside the beautiful pedesrtianised centre and , set to put Bradford on the map.

There is always hope, potential and a flicker of a spark.

This is what the body shows me and in sessions -

‘Here is where my light lies, here is where I need you to help me unfold, and soften and open’.

The body knows how to heal itself. My gift is being able to feel, see, hear and sing its songs, bringing its joy and light back.

I’m calling it ❤️🙌🏽🙏🏽

Joy and hope in my heart for Bradford 🙏🏽❤️

GNASHERTASTIC - JOY 🦷😁🪥❤️

Metal braces, trauma and emotions held in my mouth, teeth and jaws all led to pain manifesting in my lower back for 20 years, until Le Cranio!

The thought of a new porcelain, high tech crown, was making a little sweaty sheen surface across my forehead and under my armpits.

Luckily, I have been super soothed through all my dental work by James at THE BRIGGATE.

His practice is a lot like mine. He has a gift for holding a calm, quiet space, where you feel relaxed in his presence and can be yourself. The man lets me hum my ancestral base notes to soothe my nervous system, and never bats a curly eyelash!

Call or DM, if you’ve been experiencing jaw, TMJ, neck, tongue or tooth pain, and a dentist can’t get to the root of it (i’m sorry, i’m sorry, i’m sorry!).

Or if pain or discomfort has started elsewhere in the body, as a result of dental work, or injuries to the face, teeth and jaw.
