I always feel called to share my journey to embodiment very honestly as I believe it is important to have lived & felt what I teach. 

 

I have always been a dancer. I danced professionally before I had my two beautiful children and when they came into my life everything changed. I was finding it very hard to connect with who I was/am/meant to be. I felt disconnected from myself, I could feel so much potential within myself that I just could not access no matter what I tried. I went around in circles and I started to feel like I would never “find” myself again.

​

In the two years before I became an Embodiment Coach I had been going through a very dark and difficult time in my life. I was stuck, my energy was blocked, I was holding on to lots of unwanted feelings such as deep shame, anger, confusion, hurt, betrayal and they consumed me daily. I tried talking to friends and family and eventually I spoke to a therapist. Two actually! 

 

Whilst they were both lovely and I am sure very good at their job, it just wasn’t working! I was talking round and round in circles and I didn't feel I was making any progress. In fact, it hurt more to keep reliving my trauma and pain in order to try and understand it. I was adding to my stuckness (I don't think that’s a real word but ya know!) Icky, stuck, lost, confused, blurgh and yuk! 

 

Then one very low day with no idea where to turn next, I put my headphones in, listened to some music and I just started to move. For the first time in my life with no reason, goal or intention. At first it felt a little awkward to let go, but oh my word, when I did… IT WAS LIKE A TSUNAMI! My body started to let go of what felt like deep blockages, it was moving and flowing with it’s own desire, there was no thought behind it, I didn’t care what I looked like, I just surrendered fully to my body's natural instinct. 

 

After about 30mins of sweating, crying, stomping, shouting, spinning, flopping and goddess knows what else…. I stopped. And I picked up a pen and I wrote and wrote and wrote! It felt like a purge of blocked, unwanted and stagnant energy that was so ready to leave my body! 

 

Afterwards when I started to reflect, my initial thought was… what the f**k just happened to me?! And so, it lead me to research. 

 

This is when I found embodied movement. This is when my life changed.
