WELCOME.
I’m glad you found me.
You’ve clicked here because you want to know who I am. So here goes. A little bit of my story…
I’m a space holder.
Yes, this is a phrase thrown about a lot in the wellness industry, but what does it mean? I want you to be able to connect with your body, your soul and come home to yourself. I provide the space in which that will happen. Whether through a deeply relaxing massage, a yoga class, or a women’s circle, I’m here to help you let go of whatever is eating you up, and just be.
To let go and breathe.
I’ve taken a wiggly journey to get here. In terms of my work life, I come from a marketing background. In fact, I still do copywriting, but I’m much more selective about who I write for. And I work for myself. Working in advertising agencies in London broke me. Broke my spirit, and disconnected me from my body and my heart.
I grew tired of the work-hard play-hard ethos. Especially because it all seemed to be work hard and then drink hard to numb the voices in your head that were yelling “What the f*ck are you doing?”.
My body was screaming for me to wind down. It resulted in a chronic condition that left a constant pain in my pelvis and crippling infection after infection. The doctors poked and prodded, telling me nothing was wrong, leaving me feeling alone and depressed.
I started practising yoga more. I realised yoga was the only time I didn’t feel pain. This lead me to complete my yoga teacher training, and as my relationship with yoga deepened, so did my relationship with my body. The pain became less of a shout and more of a whisper.
I went on to complete my women’s health yoga teacher training. It was then that true magic started happening.
I realised the healing power that happens when women gather.
It lead me to want to be a part of the change that is needed on this earth to help nurture feminine energy. To deeply honour and respect the wisdom that’s held in our wombs.
This body-soul connection deepened as I found Alchemy of Touch and completed my transformational bodywork qualification. As I trained, I witnessed first-hand life changing emotional releases, just through the power of touch. It's a gift I now share with others.
Then I went through the biggest transformation of my life. I had my baby girl and became a mother. Through pregnancy, my home birth and now as I watch my daughter grow, I’ve never experienced so much confusion, joy, heartache and fierce fierce love. Motherhood is an intense ride. And a lonely one.
I had the pandemic to compete with in my journey. But even now, when the world is open again to ‘baby sensory’ and ‘buggy fit’ classes, there’s a void of true empathy for the postnatal period.
I look around and see a bunch of shellshocked mothers walking around meeting for coffee, rolling their eyes at the mountain of washing and lack of sleep, but not able to really express how they are feeling. Not able to openly cry and say: “you know, I really fucking miss my old self”.
I felt it. I feel it.
I attend and run yoga classes and women’s circles as a stepping stone to help us be heard. To be listened to with reverence and understanding.
Thank you if you’ve read this far. Thank you for holding space for me.
Now, I’m here for you.
