SLIDING SCALE FEES
Inclusive support, rooted in
self reclamation and remembering wholeness,
cultivating deeper presence,
building a two way relationship with the body,
and learning compassionate self acceptance,
whilst marvelling at our interconnectedness
“It’s never too late to reclaim your body, to reclaim your attention, awareness and consciousness and begin to move with greater intention, at a more natural pace. It’s never too late to be who you came here to be”
If your default response is to avoid feeling intense sensations and challenging emotions you may be unwittingly keeping yourself stuck in them
The state of Presence is the antidote
After a lifetime being rewarded for our intellect and (often) ignoring our basic needs, beginning to sit with intense sensation such as fear, shame or rage can initially be challenging to tolerate without support.
WHY? Most of us were never taught how. Infact many of us were taught our natural feelings were unnaceptable and so we buried them and they became shadow aspects. Parts we would rather avoid. And then somehow it can begin to feel like something is missing or defective.
Feelings aren’t wrong, they are useful signposts often indicating unmet needs. Furthermore seeking to escape feelings is often what leads to numbing or dissociation and this can lead to unhelpful behaviour patterns.
The benefits of Presence (a state cultivated through practice)
Creates spaciousness to feel whats happening in the body and notice the mind’s stories
Offers an opportunity to acclimate to sensation and thereby help it move, bringing relief
Aids nervous system regulation, helping you return to a balanced state more easily
Brings a sense of grounding and stability
Opens you to a deeper wisdom and insight
Supports wellbeing and physical health
Living in a rapidly changing world…
…using technology all day long in a time of Polycrisis is enough to create a subtle or powerful sense of urgency, a wave we are all swept along by. Individually the demands of life can feel increasingly hectic to the degree we may feel powerless to make decisions that will support our welllbeing and benefit wider humanity.
Connecting intentionally with awareness and slowing down enough to hear the body’s communication can begin to reveal unconscious patterns, thought loops, emotional blocks and limiting beliefs which can then be compassionately honoured and supported.
HOW I SUPPORT YOU
I offer compassionate non judgmental support, listening, guidance and tools to practice reclaiming all aspects of yourself. Plus I live this practice, so I’m facilitating from integrated lived experience
Some of the practical tools we might use together

Exploring the validity of negative and intrustive thoughts
NLP (exploring how thoughts and feelings fuse together and changing one can affect the other)
Higher Self Connection (+tools to connect to a higher power)
Visualisation and guided journeys
Practicing becoming more present in the moment, grounding and mindfulness techniques
Establishing a meditation practice tailored for your needs (not everyone likes to sit still!)
Somatic tools - i.e tapping, shaking, movement, self containment, humming to support a shift in emotional state
‘Shadow work’ - reclaiming a sense of wholeness through witnessing and honouring ‘parts’ which have been repressed
Working with the breath to enhance wellbeing
Co-regulation + understanding the Nervous System, Polyvagal Ladder and cycle of arousal
Building greater internal safety
Tools for finding relief from anxiety
Some typical areas we focus on - we couldn’t possibly cover all of them here but you get the jist!
Practicing becoming increasingly grounded and present in the body, gaining clarity and insight
Understanding how thoughts and feelings can spiral negatively and how to create spaciousness to respond differently - leading to a sense of relief
Challenging crippling fear, toxic shame, or a lack of self worth that prevents you from setting boundaries, connecting with others or stepping forward in your power
Exploring the different realms of consciousness, what it is to be a Spiritual being at this time and the creative potential of each moment
Finding your voice to begin asking for what you want and showing up in your fullest expression
Compassionately exploring traumatic experiences to gently facilitate a shift
