Claire Sankey - Mindfulness + Somatic Therapy, Hypnotherapy & Yoga

Helping humans feel safe to (re)connect to your body and befriend your mind 💓

Trauma-informed Mindfulness, Somatics & Yoga practitioner, Anxiety Coach & Educator and your new heart-centered, mindful mentor. I have helped guide and nurture thousands of anxious souls and overthinkers on their journey to peace and greater wellbeing.

My multidiscipline approach combines the power of mindfulness with the wisdom of somatics, potent breathwork techniques, evidence based research and ancient practices of yoga into nurturing and engaging educational and experiential learning and healing experiences.

With my own long mental health recovery journey behind me, I've walked the walk before learning to talk the talk. My own struggles with a fifteen year long eating disorder and anxiety ultimately led me to discover the practices and techniques I am now teaching to you.

Maybe it’s time we stop calling these disorders, and start seeing them for what they truly are: the body’s intelligent, adaptive responses to environments that weren’t safe 🙏🏽

So many of the things we pathologise; anxiety, depression, eating disorders, dissociation, even “personality disorders” — are survival patterns 🌀

Having been labelled with a few of these myself this is something I feel really passionate about 🙏🏽🌷

After decades of misery, it wasn’t until a psychiatrist took my childhood history & told (a rather dismissive/ “I had a good childhood you know”) me:
“I think these events are more important than you might think they are” that I started to realise how I had adapted to survive and feel safe too 🦸‍♀️

This opened the door for me to explore trauma & nervous system work 🍃

Just like mine did, your nervous system shaped itself to protect you 🌿

When we understand this, shame begins to loosen. Compassion takes root 🌳

And healing becomes possible; not through fixing what’s “wrong,” but by creating the safety that was missing 💗

Sending love and compassion to all on the courageous healing journey ♥️

Love, Claire x🌷x

I’ve been feeling a lot of despair at the images and videos of the killings and starvation in Gaza…..

& some sort of shame about the way my body wants to shut it all down & scroll past. Not post. Not speak. What’s the point? What can I do?

This is the first post I’ve shared on the horror we are seeing in Gaza and I had to ask myself why? What am I afraid of? Is it judgment, or getting it wrong? Or that my voice won’t do enough or anything at all?

The images that make me feel sick, angry, heartbroken; they’re meant to evoke that.

My body is working exactly as it should by communicating this meaningful feelings to me. They are the body’s way of saying:

“Something is deeply, devastatingly wrong.”

We’ve got to listen to our bodies.
Dont look away.
Be MOVED by our feelings, not shut them down. Because it is when too many people shut down their feelings that atrocities are able to happen. We have anger, disgust and compassion for a reason; guides sent to us from millions of years of evolution and ancestors.

Whether you’re another therapist, yoga teacher, a client or a friend, I hope this might encourage you to listen to and allow your anger at what Israel is doing, and to our complacent governments, and let your feelings move you towards doing something, anything 🙏🏽

With love, and anger,
Claire 🌷
