YOGA NIDRA
The Radical Act of Rest

🌸Feeling tired, anxious or stressed?
🌸Struggling to find a moment to yourself?

Come and nourish yourself with our next block of sessions. With time in silence first to listen in to your inner voice I will invite you to share words, wishes and prayers that you need to hear. I will then weave them into a co-created practice to nurture you as an individual and also the group as a whole. It’s part sound bath, part horizontal guided meditation. You will receive an audio recording of the practice to keep.

Sessions are fortnightly on a Thursday evening 6-7pm starting Thursday April 16th. This block is 5 sessions, £100 for the block.

Get in touch if you’d like to join us. I look forward to welcoming you home to yourself!

SOMATIC ‘PARTS’ TRAUMA THERAPY

A rare evening weekly therapy slot has become available for a new client on Tuesday evenings at 6pm.

I am TIST trauma Certified and also have training in IFS and Somatic Experiencing as well as 30 years experience in working with people.

So what is parts work?

When we are young children and we experience BIG and painful feelings (grief, terror, abandonment, not good enough to name a few)- if we can fully express them and have them safely heard and held they move through us.

If we can’t fully express them they get shut away inside. They are locked away and we don’t want to feel them because it’s scary. They become ‘pain parts,’ young child parts of us who are holding onto that unexpressed pain.

As we grow, in order to keep us away from the pain parts, we develop ‘protector parts,’ which manifest as behaviours which help us to survive in the world. Some examples of these might be people pleasing, inner critic or an inability to trust. There are many more!

Through Somatic Parts Therapy you will get to know these inner child parts of yourself and gradually begin to integrate them into yourself through inner dialogue and Somatic work. It’s a journey to a sense of wholeness you might never have experienced before.

It’s not easy. It’s a journey that requires courage and commitment. But a fuller Life awaits you.

Please get in touch with me if any of this resonates for you. We can talk further about how this form of therapy might help you or you can come along for a session and try it out for yourself.

Imbolc is approaching. It’s the Awakening time 🙏

Good morning everyone 🥰

I hope you are feeling ok having arrived on The Other Side of Christmas.

We are still deep in Midwinter but the Solstice is passed now and even though we can’t yet feel it beneath the Earth the energy of Imbolc is building. It will soon be time to begin to take our gaze forward into the increasing light and energy that will carry us forward into new growth and change.

This Imbolc we will be gathering in the beautiful woodland hostel at Shining Cliff February 6-9th for a weekend of reflection, connection and nourishment of every kind.

Tickets are available for the whole weekend (3nights £375) as well as Saturday full day Breakfast till Bedtime (£125) and Saturday just for Imbolc Red Tent and lunch (£65).

IMBOLC AWAKENING RETREAT
Shining Cliff Hostel, Ambergate
February 6-9 (3nights) 2026

As the Winter Solstice and the time of maximum darkness approaches we are also reminded that the light will soon begin to return. The days will become a tiny bit longer each day and growth will return.

Imbolc marks the time of the first beginnings of Spring, the beginning of this Awakening. We will be gathering in the woods to celebrate this beautiful time of year when we begin to turn our attention to the beginnings of our own growth as we journey into the active time of the year once more.

Our time together is about connection- to ourselves, to each other and to the Grest Mother Earth. Activities for the weekend include Imbolc Red Tent, fireside Song and sharing Circles, Yoga Nidra and much more. Come and join our Circle of Belonging!

Get in touch for more information or to book your space.
