Join me for a FREE 60-minute ONLINE DISCOVERY SESSION on Sunday 7th Sept at 7pm BST/UK - to hear about my Embodied IFS Retreat for Self-Led Eating this October.

🍎Do you long for inner harmony around food?
🍎Would you love to have more calm in your eating patterns?

Challenges with food and eating are often shrouded in secrecy and shame. I personally know some of those struggles, and it means a lot to me to have IFS to bring compassion and curiosity to the parts of us whose protective patterns can create such a challenge in our lives.

INFO & BOOKINGS (Discovery Session or Retreat) at:-

The HUNGRY FOR WHOLENESS RETREAT takes place from 6-9 October at Florence House, a lovely private venue on the south coast of the UK. You are most welcome to come, whether you are new to, or trained in IFS. All the info about the retreat can be found using the link 👇🏼

Whilst the IFS Constellations workshop on Sat 18th October (Brighton) has now sold out….

…I've added a NEW date - 27th September - and you are warmly invited!

There are spaces still available so please use the link in the comments below (or qr code) to book your place.

I've also added a 2 day, WEEKEND Workshop in November - as requested by many who have to travel further.

There are loads of great places to stay in Brighton, and wonderful walks by the sea to enjoy at the end of the day, so I look forward to sending more details on the November dates in the coming days.

It would be great to see you in person at one of these events - or if not, there are some online offerings, both for IFS professionals as well as anyone who is interested to explore.

Food and eating…. so simple yet so complex.

Stories and strategies woven from our emotional and relational histories establish patterns that are often out of balance, causing distress or damage, yet shrouded in secrecy and shame.

How would it be for you to join a compassionately-held retreat, using Internal Family Systems to explore your system around food, for more health, hope and healing?

Whatever your particular challenges with food, you are welcome. We will be connecting deeply with ourselves and each other through Embodied IFS processes, including ‘Drawing into Self’ : a simple guided externalisation method for IFS, allowing our parts to express themselves through spontaneous scribbling.

Absolutely no skill is needed, it’s nothing to do with art. And you don’t need to know much about IFS either. All you need is the courage and curiosity to explore, listening to the energy of parts, and deepening trust in the wisdom of the body.

is a beautiful and relaxing location by the sea in East Sussex. And the food is wonderful, providing a perfect opportunity to explore and unfold this work in a live situation, alongside opportunities for rest, movement, play and laughter.

More details can be found by clicking the link in the comments below but feel free to get in touch if you have any questions!

Join me for a 1/2 day online workshop to discover Drawing into Self - where parts speak in scribbles ✨

Discover this complete IFS externalisation protocol suitable for both individuals and groups. It's great for working with overwhelmed systems, neurodivergence, exploring multiple parts at once, chronic illness, young people and much more.

And it makes unblending so much easier - plus provides an accessible way to stay in connection with parts afterwards.

Through this workshop you will learn how to follow the somatic energy of parts and develop embodied connection, as well as how to titrate the process in a trauma-informed way.

You will also discover how Drawing into Self moves through each of the 6Fs, and witness a full live demo using the protocol.

No artistic skill is needed - just some pastels, paper, the ability to scribble and curiosity to explore.
