Ocean offers an integrative approach to women's wellness. Through practices such as yoga, peristeaming, breathwork, and massage therapy, women are guided to align with their cyclical nature no matter their stage of life. Immersive treatments and experiences are informed by ancient wisdom whilst utilising modern understanding of female physiology, empowering women to reclaim their innate wisdom and sovereignty, and to thrive rooted in their natural rhythms.

Recently, I shared about integrity—how it exists not as moral perfection, but as alignment. This week, I want to offer a little around its close relation: integration.

This is a word I use often— 💫 in the language of yoga practice 💫 in the aftercare I offer private clients 💫 in the quiet spaces where healing begins to settle

But what do we really mean when we speak of integration?

We often think of healing as fixing what is broken. But healing, more often, is ‘welcoming in’.

Integration is the art of including the parts of ourselves we’ve abandoned. The uncomfortable. The tender. The truths we weren’t ready to hold—until now.

It’s not one clear moment of “I’ve arrived.”
 It’s the unfolding after insight. The metabolising of experience. The nervous system recalibrating after the shift.

It’s the space between understanding something—and becoming it.
 When the knowing threads from mind and weaves into body.
 When the concept becomes a lived truth.

We feel it in our tissues, in our posture, in our breath.
 It’s not dramatic or performative.
 It’s sacred. Quiet. Ongoing.

💭 Ask yourself: Where are you in the midst of integration right now? What’s asking to be held a little more gently?

Let it take time.
 Let it be enough that you’re here, tending to what’s real.

And while integration is deeply personal, it doesn’t need to be done alone.
 Witnessing helps. Structure helps. So does silence.
 That’s why support and space matter—whether it’s rest, movement, nature, journaling, or being gently held in a professional setting.

Integration isn’t a checklist.
 It’s a devotional rhythm.
 A weaving, breath by breath, back into wholeness.

🖤

We’ve been told that “success” requires us to show up the same way every day.

But that’s not how we’re designed to thrive.

We are rhythmic beings—ever-shifting, cycling through phases of energy, rest, creativity, and reflection. Especially if we have a menstrual cycle!

🌞 The solar energy of structure & focus creates the container.
🌙 The lunar energy of intuition & inspiration fills it with life.

This isn’t about giving up your responsibilities. It’s about softening and sensing the way you move within them.

We honour discipline by listening.

We honour devotion by returning.

✨ Ready to move with your rhythm?

Yoga for Women is a space to explore your body’s wisdom and honour its evolving needs—wherever you’re at in your cycle or season of life.

🕯 Join us Tuesdays & Thursdays at 7PM
📍 Southsea

My love entered his 50th year on earth yesterday! And I wanna take a moment to celebrate him publicly, because I would not be able to serve women in the way that I do now without this man walking beside me.

Since we met it’s been a wild journey (IYKYK), with many a rough terrain and challenging weather. Life has asked much of us, and I truly believe we were meant to face these last years together.

Thank you for your patience.
Thank you for your willingness to commit in an age of throw away culture.
Thank you for your capacity to remain when it looked bleak.
Thank you for winning the bread when I couldn’t.
Thank you for supporting my inspiration & service.
Thank you for lighting the ceremonial fire over & over, & keeping it burning on colder days.
Thank you for buying me chocolate at the perfect the moment.
Thank you for taking the lead when I lost my vision.
Thank you for being willing to repair family connections that could easily be abandoned.
Thank you for being the best father that you can be, now.
Thank you for supporting people with the utmost integrity & always learning to do better.
Thank you for all that you have been and all that you are—I welcome meeting all that you are becoming.

✨🙏🏻✨🙏🏻✨

Not many recent or decent 😉 photos to share but these all made me grin.

”Emotions aren’t something to solve or figure out. They aren’t a problem. They are energy, designed to flow.”

We exist within a culture that teaches us to contain, override, or numb what we feel. But emotion—at its root—is energy in motion. It asks to be acknowledged, expressed, and given space to transform.

Some emotions move like a gentle wave lapping at the shore. Others crash like a storm. Some come with stories, others are pure sensation. But all of them—all of them—ask to be felt before they can alchemise.

And this isn’t just about grief, anger, or overwhelm.
It’s also about pleasure, joy, sensuality, creativity, expansion.

With practice, we can expand our capacity to feel. We can build range in our nervous system, creating more space for fulfilment, connection, and joy.

This is why I return to movement—not as performance, but as a practice of being with what is.

This is why I hold spaces for women to move, breathe, express, and reconnect with their bodies.

This is why Ecstatic Somatic Dance is medicine!

If you’re waiting to be wholly ‘ready’, you might be waiting forever. Sometimes, the only way to know is to begin. That doesn’t mean over-riding your inner-sense or your window of tolerance, but listening deeply and gnoing when to move and in what direction. Sometimes this requires patience, and it always requires radical honesty—with yourself and others. 🔥

👇🏻 The Two Roots of Fear: The Illusory & The Intuitive 👇🏻

There’s a fine line between honouring our capacity and holding ourselves back. Sometimes, fear is a wise signal to pause and tend to something within us. Other times, it’s just resistance—a protective mechanism keeping us from expanding into the next version of ourselves.

So, when you’re teetering on the edge of a new beginning, how do you discern the difference?

❓ Is my hesitation rooted in wisdom, showing me where I need more time, rest, or recalibration?
❓ Or is it an old fear story, keeping me in a comfort zone I’ve already outgrown?

When stepping into something new, these questions can be guiding lights:

🌿 Am I resourced?
🫂 Do I have the support I need?
🌀 Am I in integrity with my skills & experience?
🌊 Can I hold steady, even in challenge or conflict?
🌙 How much rest do I need, and am I prioritising it?

And perhaps most importantly:

🔥 Am I willing to begin, even without knowing exactly how it will unfold?

This week, I invite you to reflect: Where in your life are you waiting to be ‘ready,’ and what might happen if you stepped forward, as you are?

👉 Drop a 🔥 in the comments if you’re claiming your next embodied step.

Back to the roots… 👣

Almost a decade ago I started teaching here at the Coastguard Studio and at Portsmouth Yoga Studio (the roots go even deeper there!). I’ll be teaching here every Tuesday evening from the 21st Jan!

You might remember Deep Roots Yoga?

If you attended these classes , these sessions will feel familiar in many ways. There’s no radical change to the practice, the sessions simply include a more devoted focus on the female body.

Here’s what you can expect:�👣 A dedicated focus on the female body and physiology�👣 A balance of meditation, breathwork, movement, and deep rest�👣 A nurturing environment to reconnect with yourself amidst life’s fullness

The pace won’t be fast or intense. Instead, we’ll move slowly, building strength and integrity whilst exploring the subtle nuances of the body and the life force that moves through us. Together, we’ll create a supportive practice to help you align with your essence and cyclical nature.

Classes are £15 pay-as-you-go (advance booking). After attending your first class, you’ll have the option to join the monthly membership for £44—a convenient way to deepen your practice and enjoy continued connection.

To book, follow the link in my profile. Or, comment or DM “FEMALE” and I’ll send you it. 🔗
