Its when we can sit with our shadows we can create, release and become. In the words of Megan Mary, sometimes we stand in our brightness, sometimes we sit in our darkness, but at all times we must balance both sides of ourselves. Every single part of us is worthy of love and acceptance even the parts we keep hidden. Sometimes there is pain and shame in the shadow and uncovering or speaking to it can deepen that pain more. But I do think the key to transformation is allowing ourselves to travel that path, look the pain in the eyes and allow ourselves to complete it.
Unprocessed pain can cause disease and hold is back from living full happy lives.
I work with conscious connected breathwork, resourceful healing breath and intuitive energy medicine to support my clients to take the steps in a respectful held fashion.
Helping clients let go of the past and thrive is an honour I truly respect and I will continue to deepen my understanding and learning so I can hold an inviting space of change.

Subtle yoga mixed with embodied somatic movement, we investigate each chakras deep connection to the Anahata the heart, by speaking to and connecting with each chakra we can learn more about the consciousness and feeling involved there, we eventually move to a conscious connected breathwork practice, to embody, release and heal the heart.

Today was the second last class as I take a break i now have a waitlist for September. This is some of my proudest work. I work with people with restrictions, illness, or for aging strength and resilience, we use brain challenges, repetition, pilates, breath, yoga, chairs and Balance work on a ballet barre.
My class gave me this feedback today as we add new people to Septs list, im thinking of adding a second day in Autumn. If you are interested please reach out.
Please note this is an inclusive space, we cater for all needs, pace and ability. There is no obligation to do any part.

My work had evolved. I still practice alignment based vinyasa or hatha, and teach strong practices, I love to share embodied practice that teach a frame, intention and goal to the practice. Its important each body is met, seen and respected.
In my training, I've had my shoulders strapped and was put to the back of photos as I didnt look the part. That judgement became my vision and made me doubt my ability to lead groups. It also encouraged me to take many extra trainings and push to know as much as I could to support my clients.
These days I often stop a class to say thank you, and smile as I can't believe I get to do what I do.
I'm now creating practices for people with hypermobility (check out my arms above), who need posture support, who are recovering from pregnancy are needing extra support in aging, movement and rehabilitation.
The goal once was to look the part and fit in, these days its to create inclusive spaces presence and change.

I'm feeling a real need to slow down. I think I'm the reverse to the seasonal norm. In April I bought a converted van, which ended up costing me a lot of time and money to get back on the road when it broke down. A part of me wondered was it a sign but I leaned on my male friends, begged and pleaded and got the relevant parts. I call her Joyce, she's a little used but loved and this weekend I visited many beaches around Clonakilty and had the ease of siesta as I travelled. The sea has been an ally this year, I spent all winter in it, and I hope to continue my seaside travels with Joyce, maybe a friend and sometimes Conan.
There's a vulnerability in being a woman looking for help when it comes to mechanical things, Im grateful for the local support that stepped up and new contacts I made along the way.
I'm taking a break from movement classes on the 28th. I'll add a new schedule end August. Ive had a lot of requests for beginners classes, I do a lot of rehabilitation work this year and I'm looking forward to building more specialised programs.
Please reach out if you have specialist needs. I'll be keeping my clinics going through August as I'm really busy. Thank you to those who continue to support me.
Life is a journey, highs and lows, I see it as an adventure, it will take you to the people you need.

I am in love with this quote

There's a healing and learning from solo travel. It wasn't a choice originally, it was a case of noone wants to go so ill have to go alone. The thing is once gou get used to it, the freedom is addictive. I used to think what if I die of boredom, I almost did at first, and then I found peace in the night sky, comfort in silence and cleansing in the sea. Its hard to organise a group who want to do the same things or will respect your need for periods of quietness.
We fill our time as much as we can not to be alone, incase the silence reveals something we didnt want to hear.
My head is always busy, work projects, house maintenance, always something to be done, yet this time of aloneness has proven deeply refreshing.
People often say I couldn't go to a restaurant alone, id have to have a book. I think what if on that solo trip you met someone who inspired you to do something wonderful, what if you really taste rhat food. I love people watching, I hope I don't stare. Im curious about simplicity and every day normal.
I do think the secret to most healing and change is in simple normal, where we sit listen and be. Ive had the most profound ahas then.
This winter I did a sauna a week and sea swim a week alone. I met the nicest people. I bought a van. I stopped forcing. My world is really busy otherwise.
We feel if we push things, relationships, friendships, work, that it will move them on and then we will be happy, I've found things work themselves out when we take the foot off the pedal.
Some of my favourite work is creating a breathe that allows for pause and presence, I really believe this is what's missing in a world that encourages hard and more.
