I remember being disconnected from my body 90% of the time.  I had experiences of being in my body when I was doing yoga (I even smirk at the word doing as I write this), in fact yoga asana was my first experience of being able to viscerally come into my flesh and bones.

Then I began to experience more moments of being able to stay longer, to open to authentic meaningful connection through: women’s circles, spending A LOT of time in nature, dancing and deep sharing and deep witnessing of others sharing.  But on some level, I did not trust those big emotions, there was shame attached to them (sometimes there still is) and I would still find ways to leave or make them wrong..

​

Through Somatic Therapy and embodied inquiry I learnt how to slow everything right down and bring presence to the sensations, thoughts and feelings that were running in my body, to regulate my own nervous system;

to befriend the exiled parts of me, and welcome them to a safe and loving home;

to dream and create from a place that feels solid, to experience more trust, more joy, more co-creation with life and more connection to the soul or wise inner guidance that we all have and walk forward from that wisdom.

You have all the answers within, you may just need presence and support to guide you back to them.
