Rooted Well Being

30/01/2026

I’m noticing something again and again in my work:
when we support the gut, other things begin to shift too.

Back pain eases.
Breath deepens.
Sleep changes.
Emotions release.

The gut isn’t just about digestion. It’s our centre: physically, emotionally, instinctively.

When it tightens, everything compensates. When it softens, there’s a ripple effect through our entire being.

Recently I’ve been working more intuitively with the abdomen, the lower back, and the nervous system together - bringing more and more listening and attunement to my practice.

Healing doesn’t come from doing more, but from attuning better.

This work is continuing to unfold and I’m letting it grow slowly, guided by the body and my clients 🌿

Lately I’ve been reflecting on empathy as an organising principle - not just personally, but culturally and somatically.

When we live from our head alone, we can lose touch with empathy and default to control, logic, hierarchy or “power over”.

When we live more from our body, empathy arises naturally. It’s cellular, felt and relational.

My practice is essentially about helping people return to the body - not to fix or override it, but to listen.

When the body feels safe, heard and attuned to - it knows what to do.
When we centre life over ego, responsiveness over dominance, something very different becomes possible - in our health, our relationships, the way we care for one another and our world.

This is what guides my work and my life - returning to the body, to empathy and to what keeps life at the centre.

🌿 Listening to the belly

The gut is not just about digestion.
It’s the centre of our body - and often the engine room.

When our belly tightens or holds, it can ripple out into our lower back, the shoulders, neck and even our head.
One area compensates for another. Our whole system responds.

I was reminded of this recently when physical tension in my abdomen travelled into my back, neck and developed into a headache; my body shows me how connected everything is.

In my practice with clients I see this again and again:
when we gently support our gut, other symptoms often soften too.
Because our body is being listened to - at its centre.

Our belly can hold so much: stress, emotion, protection, memory.
And when it feels safer, the whole system can begin to settle. 🌿

💜 Lately I’ve been reminded how closely the gut listens to our emotional world.

Sometimes when we begin to feel safer, in our bodies or in our relationships, old tension starts to unwind. When that happens, our gut can temporarily feel unsettled: bloating, churning, disrupted sleep and/or heat at night.

It can be easy to see this as “something going wrong”.
But often, it’s the body digesting deeper layers that it’s held for a long time.

I’ve noticed that when I gently turn towards what’s being felt, rather than trying to fix or suppress it, things begin to settle again.

Healing isn’t always linear. Sometimes it looks like movement, release and then integration.

More reflections on the gut as a guide back to our centre - and to ourselves - coming soon 🌿

💜 A return to centre

So many of us live from the neck up.
Thinking, managing, holding it all together.

But the body remembers another way.

Our belly is our centre...
of intuition, emotion, instinct, and truth.
It’s where we soften… and where we brace.
Where anger, fear, guilt and grief can be held.
Where boundaries are felt - before they’re thought.

When life asks more of us - stress, relationships, responsibility or new territory - the gut often tightens.
We may think it’s food. Sometimes it is. Often, it’s more.

We return to centre when we journey back from the head to our body.
Back to listening.
Back to safety.
Back to ourselves.

This is the work I’m being drawn to again - through the gut, through the body, through what’s held beneath the surface.
I’m exploring this terrain more deeply again, in my own body and in my work.

More soon. 🌿
