How does it feel to be a woman?

A journalling and movement session exploring how we feel about being women.
With Marianne Power & Natasha Walter

It’s a chance to get curious about the messages we’ve absorbed about womanhood – and how they might affect us.

International best selling author of Help Me! and Love Me!, Marianne Power will assist you to journal on questions like:

• How do you feel about being a woman?

• What did your family teach you about womanhood?

• What messages came from culture or religion?

In between the journalling we’ll do breathwork and gentle movement lead by myself – so we’re not just thinking about these questions, we’re feeling them in our bodies too.

A reminder that in these sessions nothing is read out loud. There are opportunities to chat if you want to, and if you want to stay quiet and listen that’s great too. Camera on or off. Do whatever works for you.

Let’s have fun.

I attended the most beautiful, heartfelt workshop yesterday. It was held at and was run by . Fourteen women of all ages and backgrounds sat together and discussed what it feels like to be a woman, what gives us pleasure, how we navigate life’s trials, and what our 80-year-old self would tell our current self.

It felt safe to be vulnerable, to be myself, and to say what I really felt. Working with and releasing shame is a core pillar of my practice, and it came up again and again in our discussions.

It came up for me on a handful of occasions – that voice saying, are you saying too much? Are you being too much?
I resonated with so much of what was shared. In particular, a point about how confident women who know themselves get called intimidating.

I went for pizza with a man last year who I met at a dance night in town. We sat and chatted about our lives and after about an hour he said, “You are very intimidating.” My heart sank.

From a young age, many women are subtly (and sometimes explicitly) taught to be “nice”, “non-confrontational”, “warm”, “good”. It often feels that when a woman is confident, assertive, highly competent, direct, or emotionally literate, she violates these learned expectations. Being labelled “intimidating” can therefore trigger shame because it suggests she is not fitting the socially approved feminine role.

Marianne's book Love Me is a tender and honest exploration of self-love and the gentle unravelling of the societal shame placed on women around intimacy, our bodies, and our worth. A must-read.

has some of the most exquisite lingerie to treat 'you'. A must-visit.

Now, what would my 80 year old self tell my 53 year old self?

Don’t give a F**K, just dance

Our body is constantly communicating with us, sending messages throughout the day. When we learn to listen to these signals, we are better able to recognise what we need and make supportive changes to our routines, behaviours, and choices. We can also feel good about ourselves when we recognise that our nervous system is regulated, helping us feel safe, balanced, and more at ease in our bodies.

Join us on 22nd February .space for a Woman's only drumming and dance circle.

We will create a space for you to move, connect, and express yourself through rhythm and movement. No experience is needed; just bring your curiosity and your body.

Together we’ll celebrate the Year of the Horse, connecting to music, grounding into rhythm, and allowing our bodies to move freely and intuitively. This is an opportunity to shake off stress, awaken energy, and share in the power of sound and movement.

Come as you are. Drums and percussion instruments will be provided. All bodies welcome ❤️

Your nervous system is always listening to your breath, your environment and your experiences. When we learn how to support it, we can move out of stress and into safety, connection and calm. Small daily breathwork practices can make a big difference in how we feel, sleep, respond and show up in our lives.

The vagus nerve is the main communication highway between your body and brain. It plays a key role in your nervous system, helping regulate your heart rate, breathing, digestion, mood, and stress response.

A disengaged vagus nerves shows up as:

- Tense or rigid body, with shallow chest breathing

- Restless, fidgety, or unable to settle

- Withdrawn, slumped, low energy, “shut down”

- Facial expressions which seem flat, tight, or guarded

- Limited eye contact or difficulty engaging socially

- Jaw, neck, and shoulders held tightly

An active vagus nerve sends a message of safety to the body, creating softening and relaxation.

All my therapeutic practices aim to increase vagal tone and bring the body into a rest and digest state of being.

Dependent vs Codependent

There is always some confusion about the meanings of dependency and codependency .

The roots of codependency usually lie in early relational experiences, especially where safety, love, or belonging felt conditional. In order for survival and to receive the love or acceptance you longed for, you adapted to meet the needs of the other person. This would have meant that your own needs were not met. You form the belief that “I must manage others’ emotions to stay connected.”

Codependency as an adult arises for a myriad of reasons:

• Love was inconsistent, conditional, or unpredictable
• Your needs were ignored, minimised, or overwhelming to caregivers
• Parentification, you became the parent
• Love or approval depended on good behaviour, achievement, or compliance
• Poor or unsafe boundaries, eg, where ‘No’ was not allowed and feelings were unvalidated.

Many people believe that trauma is something that happened to us. It can also be what did not happen to us, as in having our emotional needs met.
To conclude, codependency grows from early environments where connection with others required your own needs being diminished. It’s not about weakness. It is about adaptation.

Welcome 2026

I have been a little quite on social media over the past couple of months. I have been training in new modalities and deepening my practice.

As healers, practitioners, therapists, bodyworkers, we are not immune to our nervous system becoming dysregulated. We are just more aware of how dysregulation shows up in my bodies. Last Christmas I backpacked around Guatemala with my teens. The holiday was hugely triggering. I came back more exhausted, and full of fear than before going. I was fully present in recognising its hold on me. Much of my work and understanding is based on healing my own nervous system. I didn’t have the easiest of childhoods which meant that my 20, 30 and 40s were not easy either. This year for me was about understanding the roots of my fear and releasing its hold. Fear along with shame keeps us small. It often keeps us hidden, alone, angry, unable to connect to others and destroys trust. The fear I was carrying at times in my tense body and defensive shoulders has now dissipated into a more natural, manageable feeling. This New Year my fear and the sensations associated with this emotion are now conscious rather than subconscious.

Separating conscious fear – where we know what we are afraid of and can usually explain why – and subconscious fear – fear that operates below awareness, and you feel it in the body but may not know the cause – is key to releasing the hold it has over you.

To heal this, we need to teach our nervous system that it is safe now. This can be done through gentle, repeated, embodied experiences of safety.

If this resonates with you and you would like to find out more, please DM me or send me an email.

Wishing you a warm start to 2026!
