A powerful 12 week journey to reconnect with your body and reclaim your health
Learn to speak the language of your body, reconnect deeply with your emotions, heal your nervous system and resolve your physical symptoms.
When I was in the depths of my own recovery journey, I realised that I was completely detached from my emotions and distant from my body, (despite 8 years of mindfulness training and practice!) I was very fortunate that brain retraining ‘clicked’ for me straight away and I resolved my physical symptoms in a matter of weeks, but this was just the very start of my true recovery journey. The process had awakened me to the realisation that all my years of pushing through, being strong and looking after everyone’s needs, perfectionism and people pleasing had resulted in me completely abandoning my own feelings and needs, to the point where I didn’t even know what those were any more. I was crippled with anxiety and easily triggered, going between completely overwhelmed and completely numb.
I had a deep intuition that I needed to reconnect with my body and build awareness of my emotions in order to release and heal them- so I embarked on a beautiful journey back to myself- reading, experiencing, learning, training…. Healing my inner child, befriending my body, resolving my triggers, embodying my emotions, opening fully to life and for the first time in my life feeling truly safe. I felt like I was returning to a knowing that I’d always had, but had somehow forgotten.
Like I was coming home.
We all know that our symptoms are made worse by emotional experiences- this is because the brain processes emotion, memory and pain in similar regions. So working with emotions is a key part of the healing journey. In fact, through my years of working 121 with clients with complex and persistent symptoms, and often those who have tried many things to get better and have a strong intellectual understanding of mind body work, I would say that emotional embodiment is THE key part of the healing journey and the bit that gets us unstuck.
Coming home to the body offers us so much more than simply getting rid of symptoms- it brings us back to truly living.
A safe space to heal
I offer a safe and supportive container for healing where you will feel safe to explore and learn together in community. This has proven to be key for participants and my small group sizes and live teaching and support make for a powerful experience. My approach addresses five main issues:
Overwhelmed with information- I offer SIMPLICITY and clarity of approach. One technique at a time, time to try it out and understand it on a bodily level, intuitive building of knowledge and practice in a way that makes sense to you.
Feeling out of touch with your body and your emotions- There are in-depth opportunities and structured guidance to bring you into full connection with your body and emotions which are underpinned by somatic practice and mindfulness- at a pace that feels safe to you. Emotional embodiment is key to healing and forms the bread and butter of my approach.
Too much emphasis on pain- I offer special, dedicated sections on fatigue and non-pain symptoms which are based on my own experience, learning, training and years of 121 work with clients with non-pain symptoms.
Being stuck in your head- this is not a theoretical approach, it’s a HANDS-ON and practical way to build understanding on a bodily level, trying things out, experiencing shifts and ‘aha’ moments through practical experience. We learn it, we try it, we problem solve, we share until it ‘clicks’.
Difficulty with self motivating or feeling isolated- I am here to SUPPORT and hold you and will have the support of the others on the programme and the opportunity to share your learning and help others too. It’s all okay and you will not be on your own, and materials can be accessed in bite sized chunks with an opportunity to check in every day if you wish. Being with others helps you to see that it is normal to feel this way even when you are struggling and you will be on a learning journey together.
