I love these strong, thick legs, and the feet that carry them.

I know not everyone feels connected to their legs or their feet. For some, that relationship is complicated. For some, those parts aren’t there at all, and I hold that with care.

For me, when I really sit with it, I feel overwhelmed with gratitude.

These legs have carried me through love.
Through grief.
Through abuse.
Through moments I didn’t think I’d survive.

They defended me and held me steady while I carried three babies.
They walked me through hundreds of thousands of miles, not just physically, but emotionally carrying the weight of my experiences, and often others’ too.

They didn’t give up on me. Even when I was disconnected from myself, even when I wasn’t listening, even when I was surviving rather than living - they kept moving. They kept holding me up and choosing life for me.

And that’s why I’m so fu***ng gratitude-filled.

Because these legs, these feet… they are not just parts of my body, they are witnesses, protectors and proof that I’ve made it this far. Even through chronic pain, from of my life experiences, they keep me steady and tell me when I need to rest.

Today, I honour them.

What parts of you carry your stories?

These are just some of the questions, shares and responses people I work with being after they have journeyed with conscious connected breathwork alongside me.

It’s important to know and acknowledge how all of our lived experiences, including those as a facilitator or practitioner, shape our journeying. All of these questions are covered in the Breathwork Facilitator Training that I offer.

It isn’t uncommon for even the most experienced facilitators to feel the call to train with us, we combine lived and facilitated experiences alongside our own worked experience (whatever this might be for you).

If this calls to you, reach out to request curriculum for 1:1 or our Person of Colour & Global Majority cohort starting in June 2016.

Simply drop me a message or email hello@liminalconnections.co.uk

Together. We find answers.

So many people are “playing up”, reaching beyond where they’re really ready to go in the hope they can reach something bigger, brighter, better, higher, etc as a form of control.

What can you do?
Quite simply, make a choice.
Find the things and people who can match you, your energy and your values.

The thing that’s is making you stay smaller and less authentic than the person you really are is your choices (sorry not sorry!).
Don’t ignore yourself or your owned potential to serve anything that doesn’t match you and meet you entirely🔥

Liminality is the space in between.

Not where you were, not quite where you’re going, but where something is shifting.

Right now, with everything happening in the world like the uncertainty, division, rapid change, many of us are already here.

Things don’t feel as they used to and what’s next isn’t fully clear for you or other people.

This inbetween can feel uncomfortable, with an unsteady feeling of overwhelming uncertainty. But it’s also where something deeper becomes possible to pause, listen and choosing to respond differently.

Liminality is what I offer through my work, with breathwork, 1:1 sessions, training, and community spaces.

A place to:
– reconnect with your body
– make sense of what you’re feeling
– move at your own pace
– and explore what’s next with care

Grounded in:
– nervous system awareness
– trauma-informed practice
– cultural context and lived experience

You don’t need to have it all figured out, just a willingness to meet yourself here.

Because maybe this in-between isn’t something to rush through.

So join me on Thursday, link in comments below ⬇️

There’s a kind of sadness that comes from clarity, not chaos.

You meet someone and feel, “you can hold all of me.”
And they do.

For a moment - safety, depth, possibility.

They might be a friend, practitioner or somebody you are creating a relationship of some type with.

Then… timing or finance can rudely interrupt.

Life is already in motion.
Healing still unfolding.
Paths that can’t quite meet the space you think you have.
Budgets not seeming to be in alignment.

So you hold two truths:
This is real.
And this cannot be.

But then…

If we can communicate like this, with truth, transparency and intention…
what is actually impossible?

Is it timing, money, an unsure feeling…
…or fear?

Fear of being too much.
Not enough.
Being fully seen.
Repeating “mistakes”.

Sometimes “timing” is protection.

Sometimes it’s truth.

The work is knowing the difference.

Am I stepping back because it’s right…
or because it feels safer for anyone involved?

You move through it by being honest.
By speaking what’s real.
By letting yourself be seen.

Not forcing, just not hiding.

Some connections stay.
Some reveal.
Both are crazy tough at times.

And sometimes…
the only thing between “can’t” and “could”
is the courage to find out.

So reach out, be vulnerable for a moment even if that means experiencing loss, the likelihood is you can meet somewhere in the “right” place.

I currently have space to work with just one more person 1:1 for coaching, Breathwork or Energy healing, or Breathwork Facilitator training.

So, don’t hold back… let’s talk.
Get in touch ❤️

Be a little more animal.
A little more feral.

Not reckless. Not harmful.
But alive.

Watch animals…
They rest without guilt.
They play freely.
They show when something isn’t okay, and they respect a no.

They communicate clearly.
Not just with sound, but with body language, eye contact, space, energy.
A look. A pause. A step back.

And it’s understood.

We’ve been taught to override this.
To ignore our bodies.
To second-guess signals, both ours and others’.
To be agreeable instead of honest.

But many of the systems shaping our world come from disconnection.
Power without relationship.
Control without care.
People who’ve forgotten how to play nicely.

And when play goes, so does empathy.

Relearning a bit of wildness isn’t chaos,
it’s remembering:

✨ how to feel
✨ how to communicate beyond words
✨ how to respect boundaries
✨ how to honour a clear yes and a clear no

Play is regulation.
Play is connection.
Play is how we practice safe, respectful relationships.

We need this in our lives and in the world.

So…
Notice the body.
Make eye contact.
Step forward. Step back.
Rest. Move. Play.

Say no - and mean it.
Say yes - and feel it.

Be a little more animal, we are mammals after all 🌱

It’s wild how easy it can be to crave being wanted… and how hard it can be to want ourselves with that same intensity.

If I’m honest, feeling wanted has been one of my quiet guilty pleasures. There’s something about it that can pull me in - and when I’m in that space, I’ve noticed how quickly I can slip. I become more submissive, I compromise, I make choices that don’t always honour me. I forget my own needs just to stay in that feeling.

It’s a cycle I’ve known for years.
And every now and then… I still find myself back there.

It used to frustrate me a lot more.
Now, there’s also gratitude, because I can see it. I can name it. I’m not lost in it in the same way anymore.

What’s changed is this:
I learned how to want myself. Not just the easy, polished, “acceptable” parts… but all of me. The messy, emotional, complex, contradictory parts too. The parts I used to hide, judge, or abandon.

That didn’t happen overnight. It came through choices, shifts, and sometimes painful endings:

– Choosing real connection with my people — the ones who see me, not just want me
– Breathwork that helped me feel instead of perform
– Leaving my NHS job and stepping into something more aligned
– Walking away from a long relationship that no longer held me
– Letting nature hold me when I didn’t know how to hold myself
– Music, dancing, and remembering what it feels like to be free in my body
– Relearning how to create, without needing it to be perfect or validated

Somewhere along the way, I stopped chasing being wanted…
and started deeply craving myself.

Now, I love myself in a way I couldn’t have imagined a few years ago, let alone 20.

And even when I slip, I don’t abandon myself there anymore.
I meet myself with awareness, with honesty… and I come back home.

We hear a lot about “nervous system regulation”…

But it doesn’t come easily for everyone.

Because “regulation” isn’t just a skill,
it’s shaped by experience.

If your body has learned to stay alert through racism, trauma, migration, or instability, then struggling to relax isn’t failure.

It’s response.

For many people of the Global Majority, the nervous system has adapted to:
scan, brace and stay ready.

So being asked to “just calm down” can feel confusing - or even unsafe.

This is why nervous system understanding is a core part of the Breathwork Facilitator Training.

Not as an add-on.
As a foundation.

We’re joined by specialist teachers - and Steph of - bringing depth and context to both the why and the how.

Because breathwork isn’t about forcing calm.

It’s about learning how to listen.

Cohort begins 27th June 🌿

This world hasn’t always felt safe to me.
There are times my feet literally grip inside my shoes, holding on to the earth for grounding… like if I don’t, something or someone might whisk me right off my feet (and truthfully, at times, they have).

So today, I’m choosing something different.

I’m planting my feet on the earth.
Feeling every part of that connection.
Letting my toes spread wide.
Rooting down deep.

A reminder that even when the world feels uncertain, the ground beneath us is still here… still holding us. Mother Earth. Gaia. This magnificent world, she has got us rooted, when we remember the way.

And if you see me out there, barefoot, toes stretched like I’m auditioning to be a tree or for an only fans spot… just know I’m doing important work 🌱

(Featuring bonus grounding support from some very committed dog paws 🐾 and an inquisitive nose 🐶💛 and completed with laughter, natures way of lifting us up as a human).

Today, take a moment—
Stand still.
Breathe.
Feel.
Root.

Happy Earth Day 🌿

Good morning world 🌞

Today, I feel as if I’ve woken up to a new world and life, feeling in total connection with myself and all that is true and real.

I know that not everyone will wake up feeling this way. Life life’s is hard sometimes.

So I’m inviting you just to take a moment of connection with yourself, whatever that might look like for you, to feel your wisdom.

Love y’all 💗

People often tell me how strong I am, how courageous I’ve been…
But the truth is I grew tired of being strong in the way the world understands it a long time ago.

That kind of strength often meant survival.
Holding it together.
Pushing through.
Wearing armour so thick that nothing could get in… but also, not very much could truly get out either.

Right now, I’m choosing something different.
I’ve softened my edges. It’s taking practice though!

And no, this isn’t weakness.
It’s intention.

It’s being more honest about what I have capacity for.
More considered about where my energy goes.
More discerning about who reciprocates closeness with me, and how I show up in those spaces.
And it might sound self-centred, but also being more considerate about what the energetic exchange is… and if it is truly worth me giving my precious energy to, what are the immediate and long term exchanges.

For those of us who’ve had to wear armour for years - to stay safe, to cope, to survive -
softening can feel unfamiliar… even unsafe at first.

Because that armour protected us.
It helped us navigate spaces that weren’t always kind, fair, or understanding.

But over time, that same armour can become heavy.
It can keep us in cycles of over-giving, over-extending, and staying in places that require us to stay guarded.

Softening is not about dropping your boundaries.
It’s about refining them.

It’s about recognising that you don’t have to prove your strength through exhaustion anymore.
That you can choose spaces where you don’t need to brace yourself.
That you can move with care instead of constant defence.

This is a different kind of strength.
A quieter one.
A more sustainable one.

And for me, right now…
that’s what strength looks like.

So rather than being in a constant space of defence - preventing others from coming close enough to harm me - I’ve shifted into protection.
And that feels different.

More open.
More grounded.
More loving and nourishing.

It’s allowing people to think what they want to think of me,
without me becoming consumed by it.

It’s choosing not to be held by others’ perceptions,
but instead to exist in my own
