Do you feel it when you look at these pictures?
It’s funny because so often I try and think of words to explain Sacred Somatic Journeys. I want to get into the how and whys, to get into marketing mode…

And then I laugh!

Because I realise the whole point of this work is to bring you deeper into your body, into your heart, away from the ego mind and the logic. Deeper into those knowings and those intuitive pulls to things that don’t always make sense in the mind.

Do you feel it? Something you can’t explain. I know I do when I see this work. Sometimes that doesn’t need words. ❤️

Maybe that pain in your body is not what you think?🤔

Have you ever thought your body maybe telling you something deeper?

If you’ve been waiting for permission to follow your souls nudges this is it!! 🍃

Have you ever tried mopping a floor before sweeping it?

It doesn’t work does it because there’s still crap all over the floor.

This is what I find true in life when we sometimes get the things we want before sweeping up first; Before doing the inner work and clearing what is needed.

You may…
🌻Reach success in your career but still feel unworthy
🌻You get into a relationship and still feel you aren’t good enough
🌻You finally get something you really wanted in life, that you dreamed of and yet something doesn’t feel quite right does it? Maybe shame creeps in at how you should be more satisfied.

And that’s because your mind and body are still running the same loop as before you got the thing OR you have so much fear about now loosing the thing it stops your enjoying it!

Doing inner work is a constant clearing of your old mental patterns that keep you in old stories. A clearing of emotional back log from your body. It’s a clearing of the “crap” so that when the shiny life things comes along you aren’t using “it” or “them” to try and mask what’s underneath. In other words hoping it will fix all your internal troubles! It’s just an added bonus.

Hope this metaphor makes sense 😅 just a random musing that I wanted to share. What do you think?

If you’re ready to go deeper within and create true, lasting change, send me a private message. This October, I’m opening up a few exclusive spots for a powerful 3 month, in person 1:1 inner transformational journey:

Bali life and flights home booked….

Picture of just a few precious moments so far. Exploring, relaxing, soo much yoga and a volunteering job in an orphanage is where I have been spending most of my days! It’s safe to say I have totally fallen in LOVE with all the babies and other volunteers I get to spend my days with and I’ve fallen deeper in love with the spirit of Bali, a country I keep returning too.

This trip has really embedded into me how life flows easily when we let go of the control freak in us, listen to what our heart truly wants and let plans fall away to make room for more aligned things!

And now a little update; some training in Devon to deepen my Sacred Somatic Body work offerings is calling me home. So I have booked some flights for September and will be opening Liberella back up for in person services towards the end of NEXT MONTH!!

I’ll let you know nearer the time once my diary is open again for appointments. My mailing list will be the first to know so if you are not subscribed and want to be the first to know all the liberella news pop an emoji below or click on the link in my bio to sign up!

Much love xx

I’ve been ignoring a lot of experts lately…..

Business experts, relationship and love experts, life coaches giving advice.

And I’m so glad I did!!! These “experts” (and I use the term loosely because some people it’s just chatgbt and a shiny insta account!) They tell you how to live, what to eat, how to act in your dating life, how to spot a pattern and give you so many hacks to be motivated and to do the thing. And whilst these things can be helpful at times, I do wander if we have too information much at our fingertips….

Too much information going in, swaying us this way and that. Too much noise and advice on how to live your best life. Too many external people influencing your decisions.

Because there is no expert better than your own inner guidance. Your own body. Your own heart leading the way. Sometimes that goes against the experts, the inspiring quote or latest tip on instagram. It means developing a deep relationship with yourself. Away from external noise!

For me that often looks like a long hike, no headphones, no podcast or music, just me and nature. Just me with no noise coming in so I can listen to my own self.

Developing a close relationship with yourself is the most important one in the word. It’s been my biggest love story. Only you KNOW what is best for you. Learn, sure, listen to experts at times. But make sure you know what LANDS in your own body otherwise you’ll never be living a path of your own and what works best for you.

What’s your thoughts? Comment below I’d love to know 💕

I spent 30 years trapped in my head. A huge over-thinker. But everything shifted for me when I discovered embodied movement and somatic work. That’s when my life truly began to change.

It’s why I’m so passionate about helping you get out of your mind and into the power of your body. Come and experience this yourself with our upcoming FREE online workshop!

That ache in your heart you have for wanting more won’t leave. Trust me.

You tell yourself
😐I should just be happy where I am
😫I should be grateful for this job, I don’t hate it
🫣This relationship is better than being alone
🤔What if I make a massive mistake

I get it, I had all of these thoughts when I left my marriage. When I ended my beauty business to travel and become a life coach. When I decided to move to Bali. Whenever I’ve had to make any uncomfortable small or big life change because my soul was calling for more.

I know the ache never leaves when a change is calling. I know now how to navigate these big shifts. I know what to do when fear starts to creep in and take a hold. And I’m here to hold you through this too so you can make the changes your heart longs for.

So take that first small step to change by joining me on the evening of the 1st of April for a FREE online workshop.
I will be teaching you how to navigate change, uncover what’s blocking you from making change and how to replace fear with embodied, empowering confidence. 🙌✨

You’ll also be the first to learn about…
🔥REBIRTH AND RISE!! 🔥
A community based platform with the resources, support and connections women like you need when going through and seeking change. Comment or dm REBIRTH and I’ll send you the details 💕

It’s been a wild couple of months. What started as a small but strong intuitive feeling that I am not meant to live in Devon for a while, just a few months ago quickly turned into my house selling at lightening speed, finding the perfect little place to downsize into and my recent trip to Bali becoming not just a holiday but a trip to see what area to live longer term!!

I’ve had to let this really land in my system and go through all the excitement and freak outs, and all the in between bits before letting you know. And so now it’s real! Eek!

Don’t worry I have plenty of spaces left over the next couple of months so please carry on booking in for your wellbeing and healing services. And now a goodbye hug 🥹🥹

Hello beautiful souls I’m back online….
But still in Bali 🥰 Here’s some moments from my time so far.

I can’t deny social media is an incredible tool for business and it has helped me connect with some great people in my personal life too. However when I take a long break, it always brings me a new sense of clarity and direction for my business, my life and my soul, that just wouldn’t happen being plugged in constantly.

So take a moment with me to pause and get honest with yourself about your phone consumption.

✨Do you need to reevaluate who you follow and how it makes you feel?
✨Are you sensitive to energy like me? Does letting thousands of people into your home daily feel like too much as that’s what our phones allow 😬
✨Is it time for a break to get clear on what you really want, not what everyone else is doing.
✨Is it time to get firmer boundaries with your daily habits? (For me that looks like airplane mode an hour before bed and a couple hours after waking)

I’d love to know if this got you thinking 💕 I’ll be posting on my stories soon with some more updates.

Live well and be free
Vanessa
