Sensory Motor Amnesia alters the way one not only moves, but how one experiences him/herself from within, their SOMA-tic experience.

Help for ongoing pain, tension & recurring injuries
When nothing else has quite worked

📍 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 adaptation 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.

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!)

High-functioning doesn’t mean you’re okay. It just means you’re good at hiding it.

If your body is exhausted, tight, and overwhelming you, you’re not imagining it.

Drop a 🤍 if this is you.

This is what people actually say to me.

Not:
❌ “Fix my L5 disc”
❌ “Correct my posture”

But…
“I just want to feel normal again.”

And the hardest part?

➡️ You’ve probably already tried things
➡️ You’ve maybe been told nothing’s wrong
➡️ Or that you just need to “strengthen more”

And you’re left stuck somewhere in the middle.

You’re not imagining it.
And you’re not alone in it.

If that’s you, what’s your “I just want to…”?

26/03/2026

A space has opened up next week for a new patient.

If you’ve been dealing with something that:

• keeps coming back
• hasn’t fully settled
• or you’re just not sure what to do with

this is exactly what these sessions are for.

We take the time to properly understand what’s going on and give you a clear, realistic way forward.

No rush.

Just a starting point that makes sense.

If it feels like the right time:
→ message me “APPOINTMENT”
→ or book a free discovery call first

“I’ve tried everything… and I still feel stuck.”

I hear this a lot.

But more than that… I recognise it.

Because feeling stuck doesn’t just show up in pain.

It shows up in different areas of our lives
at different times for different lengths of time

Sometimes it’s physical
Sometimes it’s mental
Sometimes it’s just a sense that something isn’t shifting… even though you’re trying

And often, it’s not because you’re doing nothing

It’s because you’ve been:
→ trying to figure it out
→ doing what you think you should
→ pushing… or holding back

And still not getting anywhere

That place can feel frustrating and sometimes a bit hopeless

But it’s also often the point where something starts to change

Not because you suddenly do more
But because things begin to make more sense

And when things make sense there’s usually a bit more space a bit more clarity and a way forward that feels possible again

✨ If that’s where you are, you don’t have to figure it out on your own

25/03/2026

People often say to me,
“I don’t know how you do it all…”

The truth is…
I don’t.

The last 6 months have been really hard.

I lost my Dad

And if I’m honest, I was already juggling too much before that.

That was the point where everything caught up with me.

My nutrition slipped.
My anxiety went through the roof.
My confidence dropped.
And I even failed an assignment.

For a while, I just kept trying to push through… because that’s what we do, right?

But at some point, you can’t just keep pushing.

So I had to take a step back.

Not because I’ve given up, but because something had to change.

Because this is the part we don’t talk about enough…

You can be capable, driven, holding everything together, and still reach a point where it’s too much.

And that doesn’t mean you’re failing.
It means you’re human.

So if you’re feeling like this right now…

You don’t have to do it all.
You’re not supposed to.
And in time, things can settle again.

About last night…

Sometimes it’s not about doing more
just pausing long enough to notice it

22/03/2026

Being told “your scan is normal”
can feel like no one has really heard you.

Because you’re still in pain, still struggling, and still trying to make sense of it.

I see this a lot.

And what I want people to understand is this:

A scan only shows part of the picture.

It doesn’t show how sensitive your system has become…

how much tension you might be holding…
or how your body has adapted over time.

That doesn’t mean the pain isn’t real.

It just means we need to look at it differently.

When you start to understand what’s actually driving it, and work with your body rather than against it, things can begin to shift.

You’re not the only one in this.

And you’re not stuck with it.

•This is something I help people make sense of every day

•If this feels familiar, there are ways forward

•You don’t need a “worse” scan to deserve support

21/03/2026

Most people I work with don’t have a body that’s broken.

They have a system that’s been under load for too long.

That tight, stuck, tense feeling…
the one that often keeps coming back…
the one that makes you feel like something isn’t quite right…

It’s not random.

And it’s not something you’ve “done wrong”.

But it can be really hard to know what to actually do about it.

That’s exactly why I created ‘The Tightly Wound Body.’

It’s a short, simple guide that helps you:

• understand why your body can feel tight, tense, or sensitive
• make sense of pain that doesn’t seem to shift
• begin to approach your body in a different way
• and most importantly,know where to start

No complicated routines.
No forcing

Just a different way of understanding what’s going on…and a gentle way to begin changing it.

Pain does not mean damage, let me say that again, pain does not mean damage!

I have spent 2 days pretty much sitting and working on my laptop.

I’ve sat in different places, but it’s still a lot of sitting for me.

And I have pains.

My thigh has a deep, nagging ache.
My neck and shoulder feel stiff and m’eh.

And it’s not that sitting is inherently bad, but doing any one thing for a prolonged period of time and your body will start to tell you about it.

But I haven’t just become broken, damaged, injured from sitting.

And I’ve had patients experience this before and panic that they have done something.

Well, it’s more that you haven’t done something.

You haven’t moved much.

And your nerves aren’t very happy about that, they love to move, to be slid around, and sitting means they become sensitised, and those niggles and pains are saying you need to move.

And they will get louder, more painful, until you do!

So don’t panic, go for a walk, do something else. You’re perhaps a bit stressed too, so that won’t help, and it will all settle back down again!
