📍 Bedfordshire + Online | Start here: The Tightly Wound Body ↓ Clinical Essential Somatics is Neuromuscular movement re-education that teaches people to regain voluntary control of muscles that have become involuntarily and chronically contracted due to a

daptation to accidents, injuries, surgeries, major illnesses or on-going/repetitive emotional or physical stress. Thomas Hanna (Hanna Somatics) termed this state of chronically tight muscles that can't let go as Sensory Motor Amnesia (SMA) and described SMA as the root cause chronic pain. By improving the connection between the brain and the muscles people learn to regain sensation and motor control of muscles and movement. Chronically tight muscles affect physical structure and alter posture and movement. Examples of Sensory Motor Amnesia include:

• chronic back pain
• sciatica
• leg length discrepancy
• hip pain
• altered gait
• plantarfasciitis
• piriformis syndrome
• TMJ/TMD
• neck/shoulder pain
• scoliosis

Those suffering from SMA lose their ability to release and relax muscles and move freely. Clinical Essential Somatics is taught in 1:1 session with hands on work with the practitioner, focusing on the clients patterns of restricted movement and SMA. Groups classes, are weekly classes that teach Somatic movements and are suitable for those new to Somatics and those whom have undertaken clinical sessions.

'Essential Somatics' builds on the work of Thomas Hanna (Hanna Somtics), as well as bringing in the work of new pioneers in the field of Somatic Movement.

You’re capable of so much more in the gym. You just haven’t been shown how yet. 💪🏻

Launching this summer at
STRONG FOUNDATIONS — a ladies only lifting workshop for females who are done guessing and ready to actually get it.

We’re covering everything that nobody teaches you:

➡️How to feel your training working — not just go through the motions.

➡️How to structure a session so you walk in with a plan.

➡️How to adapt movements for your body — including hypermobility.

➡️The nutrition basics that support real progress.

➡️How to build a training approach you can take to any gym, any class, any home workout — for life.

This isn’t about being a bodybuilder. It’s about understanding your body well enough to train it properly — at any age, any starting point.

Maximum 12 females. Closed session. No audience. Just learning.

Comment “LETS GO” below and I’ll send you the details 👊

Legs and back day. Heavy RDLs. And a quiet reminder to myself that this isn’t where I started.

Social media is full of people smashing it, in the gym, in business, in life, financially, you name it. And it can make you feel like everyone else just... arrived there.

Easily. Quickly. Smoothly.

Like there was a straight road from wherever they began to where they are now.

There wasn’t. There never is.

Nobody you admire started where they are now. And I’d bet for the vast majority it wasn’t a smooth ride either. There were wobbles, restarts, uncomfortable patches of not-knowing. Moments of “I don’t know if I can do this.” Years in between that nobody posted about.
I’m in one of those patches right now.

A chapter of change that feels unfamiliar and a little uncomfortable, and also, underneath all of that, full of possibility.

So today I’m lifting heavy, lifting myself up and reminding myself that I got here.

Not just here I the gym, but here in life.

That the messy middle is where all the real change happens. And that wherever you’re starting from, that’s a valid place to begin.

The road isn’t going to be straight. It just has to keep moving.

3 Simple words

Less is more,

Slow down, try less, be present, feel more.

You might be surprised by what you notice and learn.

I talk a lot about nervous system safety.

About what it feels like when your body finally stops bracing and lets go.

This bench is mine.

I’ve been struggling lately. Nothing dramatic — just the quiet, exhausting kind of hard that creeps up when you’ve been pushing for too long. The kind that’s easy to miss because you’re good at keeping going.

18 months of working on this little space. And finally,sun on my face, coffee in hand, birds singing, nowhere to be.

This is what I’m always pointing my patients toward.

Not this bench specifically.

But this feeling. Safety. Stillness. The exhale.

We all need a place that brings us home to ourselves.

What’s yours? 🤍

I really want you to experience this too

To discover that YOU can change the experience of your body

That YOU can learn simple movements to help to relax

That these movements can form part of the bigger picture to help YOU manage chronic pain

That moving with more ease gives YOU more freedom and opportunity

This is exactly what I do to ease my pain, improve my performance, reduce my stress, and reconnect with myself.

This isn’t just something I teach, this is something I live!

Often I get asked who ‘fixes’ you?

Well me, don’t get me wrong I love a massage Shiatsu, Sports, hot stone, and my nervous system is grateful and feels good for them, but also I am really good at addressing my own muscle tension, pain and stress too with Clinical Somatics.

Someone working on you can create a short term change in your nervous system which can ease pain, reduce stress and tension but if we go back to living our life in the same we often end up back where we started from.

Long term change comes from within us, and change comes from awareness.

If you really want to learn how to be aware of yourself and learn how to create changes as well as maybe having your hands on treatments then Clinical Somatics teaches you exactly that.

And when you wake up in the morning feeling stiff you have the tools to help, when you go the gym and want to improve your performance the same tools help there too!

I didn’t find the gym because I wanted to get stronger.

I found it because Somatics made me realise something that honestly surprised me, my stress was so habituated, so deeply woven into how I moved, how I held myself, how I lived that I couldn’t even feel it anymore.

It had just become me.

And not just the physical tension. The emotional tension too.

The bracing. The holding. The carrying.

All of it, so normal I’d stopped noticing it was even there.

And that made me question myself, “If I couldn’t feel that what else didn’t I know about myself?”

Clinical Somatics started to open that up.

That curiosity led me to the gym. Not to punish my body or push through but to use what Somatics had taught me.

To connect. To feel. To learn.

To find out what was possible, what else could I do I didn’t know yet.

I still get lost. The habits and stress creep in.

But Somatics and the gym always bring me back home to myself. To regroup. To feel again. To keep evolving.

This is why I do what I do. Because I know what it feels like to be disconnected from your own body and I know what’s possible when you’re not.

If any of this resonates come find me or drop me a 🩶

Online Clinical Somatics classes are starting after Easter.

If your body has been feeling tight, tense, stiff, or just not quite like itself, this is your chance to begin moving in a gentler, more mindful way.

These classes are designed to help you slow down, reconnect with your body, release unnecessary tension, and move with more ease. They are not about pushing through, forcing stretches, or trying to “fix” yourself. They are about learning how to work with your body differently.

Perfect if you feel like stress, pain, or persistent tension has left you feeling stuck, braced, or disconnected from how you want to feel.

A calm, supportive space to begin again after Easter.

DM me or head to bio if you want the details or would like to join.

Ah yes, Easter weekend…

That magical time of year when people spend 4 hours in the garden after barely bending down all winter… and then wonder why their back has kicked off.

It is often always injury.

Very often it is a body that has just been asked to do too much, too soon.

Gardening is still movement.

Digging, lifting, twisting, crouching, pulling, reaching, carrying. It adds up quickly.

So if your body is grumbling this weekend, it may not mean you’ve done damage.

It may just mean your tissues and system were not ready for that much load all at once.

Pace it. Break it up. Change position. Stop before your body forces you to.

Spring jobs do not all have to happen in one day.

And if you are struggling DM me “EASTER” and I will send you exactly what I do myself after a day of digging (like today!)
