Welcoming Spring, Water & Sound

As the days grow lighter and the world around us begins to awaken, March offers us a beautiful invitation: to shake off winter’s stillness and step into renewal, movement, and flow. Just as the first shoots of green begin to emerge and streams begin to swell with melting rain, our own energy can s...

Deep bass doesn’t just sound good.

It travels through you.

Low frequencies move through the chest and abdominal cavity, interacting with the vagus nerve, the pathway connecting brain, heart, lungs, and gut.

That heavy, grounding exhale?
Your body recognising safety.

Sound isn’t magic.

It’s resonance.

Yesterday I had the honour of holding a sound journey at a beautiful pregnancy retreat at Yurt in the City.

Circles like this are rare these days. Real community. Real sharing. No judgement. No fixing. Just being witnessed. And that is so deeply needed when a woman is growing new life.

It was such a joy to work alongside Pineda who creates the safest, most open, judgement-free space. You can feel the care in every detail. The way she holds women is something really special.

And the food by Gem… oh my days. So nourishing, so full of love. If you’re looking for someone to cater your retreat with truly delicious vegan food, I would wholeheartedly recommend her.

Grateful to be part of spaces where mind, body and soul are all honoured.
More of this. More circle. More community. 🤍✨

“Letting go” is not a decision.

It’s a biological shift.

You can say the words. You can understand the theory. You can want it with every part of your thinking brain.

But the nervous system only releases what it believes is no longer needed for protection.

From a physiological point of view, holding on is often the body’s way of staying prepared. Muscle tone increases. Breath becomes shallow. The throat tightens. The diaphragm braces. All of that is adaptive. It kept you going at some point.

Sound does not force release. It offers rhythm, vibration and steady sensory input. Over time, that predictable input tells the brainstem, “You are safe enough now.”
When safety rises, grip reduces.

Not because you tried harder.
Not because you visualised it.
But because your system recalculated.

Letting go happens when the body trusts more than it fears.

And trust is built slowly, through repetition, rhythm and presence.

Despite the training.
Despite the practice.
Despite having regular clients.

I still turn up to sessions thinking:

“Who the f**k am I to be doing this?”

Imposter syndrome is basically my co-facilitator at this point. She’s always there. Sat in the corner. Judging me.

My nervous system is fried before I even start… and I’m supposed to co-regulate everyone else. Make it make sense.

I’ve hit a metal gong with the wrong end of my mallet and made a noise so horrific it sounded like I’d summoned something ancient and pi**ed it off.

I’ve kicked over a chime stand. It sounded like I was murdering a herd of fairies.

Halfway through sessions I sometimes panic because I genuinely don’t know what I’m doing. I grab the nearest instrument and pray.
Sometimes it sounds mystical.
Sometimes it sounds like a dying whale.

Clients say: “That was amazing.”

My brain: *System error.*

I nod too much. Mumble. Spill tea. Avoid eye contact. Go full stim mode like my body physically cannot accept the compliment.

Selling my own sessions? Absolute nightmare.
I’m convinced everyone thinks I’ve joined a cult.
Then someone books and I send them the wrong time because admin chaos is apparently part of my brand.

I compare myself constantly.
Other practitioners look polished. Effortless. Ethereal.
Meanwhile I look like a crusty raver who tripped over a chime stand and accidentally found enlightenment.

When I plan groups I assume if someone fidgets they hate it. If someone looks neutral they’re internally judging me. I end every sentence with 'Does that make sense' as I still doubt myself every time.

And yet…

I keep showing up.

Because here’s the thing no one really says:

Imposter syndrome doesn’t mean you’re not good.
It usually means you care.

It keeps me practicing.
It keeps me learning.
It keeps me humble.

And despite the chaos, the clangs, the panic, the admin disasters…

People leave calmer.
People cry safely.
People sleep better.

So maybe the imposter voice can come along for the ride.

She just doesn’t get to drive anymore.

Let me know if this resonates with you
Big Love 💚

Over the weekend I held space for sound healing groups and 1:1 sessions, weaving sound into bodywork. After deep tissue massage and assisted stretches, I use tuning forks as sonic acupuncture, intuitively placing them along the spine and key muscle points. The vibrations stimulate mechanoreceptors and influence the autonomic nervous system, taking the body deeper than massage alone, a full-body reset at both muscular and nervous system levels.

Combined, bodywork and sound become a massage for the mind, body, and soul. Clients often drop into profound ease during the sound journey. This is therapy for the body when the mind isn’t ready for trauma, overwhelm, or when talking feels impossible. Sound meets the nervous system directly, helping regulation, release, and renewal without words or revisiting the story.

I love that I get to combine ayurvedic yoga massage with the playful curiosity of “weird” instruments. It never feels like work, just holding space for the body to regulate, reset, and renew.
