Empowerment, Embodiment & Compassion Coach
I am noticing something hugely important to me: the dramatic contrast between how I am when I am exuberant with companions and how I am quietly at home, where I live alone. Am I “lonely?” I have been aware of this contrast for years, but it seemed inaccurate to use the word “lonely” on its…
The pains we experience and hold inside us, show up in behaviours which tend to stimulate pain in ourselves and people around us. Conflict can be the tension between the self who’s trying to protect from the pain and the same self who’s longing to stay in connection, valued, appreciated and loved.
Through the groundedness and spaciousness of our embodied awareness, using the language of Nonviolent Communication, we can truly soften into self-compassion for the needs we long to meet. We shall embrace grief for our unmet needs and gratitude for the body that opens to receive the world’s resources.
The messy energies of conflict are fertile soils in which nurture, light and love can transform resistances and troubled behaviours into flow. I shall offer embodied practices that allow us to meet ourselves tenderly and empathically in this very impossible place, to wholly and warmly acknowledge our reactions and create right here in the messiness, the softening that transforms, creating resilience.

“Please help me!” I used to say aloud. When I felt small, vulnerable and lost, I felt depleted of resources to help myself, to take an action, to have capacity, to feel bigger and more powerful. Slowly, I have come to speak a new expression: “Thank you for helping me!” My explorations of noticing my…
I’d love to share with you my experience with waking up my fatigue response. I am describing my fatigue as an embodied response to stress, that my body adopted to protect me from stressful situations and circumstances, many, many years ago. I began to practise my awareness when I trained in Embodiment and have grown…
May I play with your attention before you speak? I am feeling curious about the words that fly about the place. What piece of substance is it that proclaims “I”? If you are standing, let your knees be soft and if you are standing, sitting or lying, feel the support of the ground under you…
