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

On Thursday we said goodbye to my Dad.

As many of you know it had been a difficult year with his health and the last few months of him in hospital more so.

There is so much I have taken from these last few months, and at some point will share more about I am sure, but for now, thank you for your kindness, understanding and support it has meant a lot to me 💕

Sometimes awareness looks like sitting with what remains.

Holding space for the quiet moments that don’t need fixing.

What I mean by “living well in your body”

Living well in your body doesn’t mean feeling good all the time.

It means:
•understanding your signals rather than fighting them
•responding earlier, not pushing until things break
•adapting to change instead of blaming yourself for it

Pain, stress, low energy, and fluctuation are part of being human — especially in modern life.

“Living well” isn’t about optimisation, routines, or doing everything right.

It’s about awareness:
•noticing what’s happening
•making sense of it
•adjusting with less fear and less force

This page is about pain, stress, movement, lifestyle, and awareness; not as separate topics, but as different ways of understanding life in a body.

Take what’s useful. Leave what isn’t.

A bit about me & my approach.

I’m trained as a McTimoney chiropractor with postgraduate training in clinical pain management, rehabilitation, personal training and clinical somatics.

Over time, my work has shifted away from “fixing bodies” and towards helping people understand and relate to their body differently.

Pain, stress, tension, fatigue and flare-ups are rarely just mechanical problems. They make sense when we look at the nervous system, lifestyle, load, and context.

My role is to help people:
•rebuild awareness
•reduce threat and fear
•learn to self-sense and self-regulate
•respond earlier and more proportionally to what their body is telling them.

Sometimes that includes hands-on care. Often it includes education, movement, and lifestyle support.

The goal is learning how to live well in your body — even when things fluctuate.

The best therapy! (Sound on for the sizzle!)

We have so many mod cons that apparently free up our time. We rush around cram more and then go to a mindfulness class of some sort to help destress, have me time or whatever you might get from it.

But sitting and cooking by a fire gives you all that and more, slows life down, time to be mindful, reflect, fresh air, nature and socialise even and better still the food tastes amazing!

Your entire physiology will thank you for it!

If life doesn’t push you
Test your patience
Break you
Reward you
Teach you
Grow you
And more
Then it’s probably not life it’s existence.

Yesterday we said goodbye to my Dad after a long 6 weeks in hospital he is now at peace. 🕊️

Death is a funny thing, we seem to be bought up in the UK to be fearful of it in a way I find hard to express, but it’s is far from that.

I had the honour to be with my Dad almost consistently for the last for 4 days, and spent the last 24 hours by his side till the end. It was beautiful. 💕

I thought I would be scared, I thought I would panic, but we steadied the helm and accompanied him peacefully, gently, calmly all the way.

My Dad bought us up to be strong, and resilient, sometimes maybe a little too much so, but that strength bought us full circle, as we fought for him, and him for himself to the very end, holding him and his space, safely and calmly, with love and respect.

I will cherish those moments for ever with love and gratitude. 💕

And thank you, for the love and support over these past weeks, they have meant a lot. 🙏🏻

And for anyone taking care of loved ones, stand your ground, you know what’s right for them better than anyone else, no matter how hard it is ♥️
