The Body Talking
I’ve started following dionsandcomics on Instagram and this cartoon made me smile. Often bodywork clients and yoga students say to me, ‘You don’t need to hear all this, I don’t know why I’m telling you really.’
And I say, ‘That’s what I’m here for.’
I’m not a counsellor or psychotherapist but everything you think and feel is experienced by the body. That amazing bundle of soft and hard tissues isn’t disconnected from your mind and heart. What you share is completely relevant.
We are ready to acknowledge muscular pain when it’s associated with physical injury and illness. But here’s the thing: the body experiences emotional pain as much as your head does. It doesn’t have to be big stuff for the body to to brace itself and become tense. It doesn’t even have to be your stuff …
Saying out loud that life is challenging can often give your body permission to let go.
So if you want to (and it’s not obligatory) keep talking. As an added bonus, I like listening!

Yoga for NHS Together
We raised a magnificent £360 for NHS Charities Together
Thank you so much!
The NHS is currently facing the most challenging period in its history. Donations to NHS Charities Together enable the health service to go above and beyond. Through its 241 member charities across the UK, funds will improve services for patients and support NHS staff to continue their vital work.
The online practice is no longer available. I will organise a new practice and charity page later in the Spring/Summer
