It wasn't until I discovered somatic bodywork and breathwork that I realised how dysregulated my nervous system actually was, and how many unconscious patterns of stress were hidden inside me, quietly shaping my life.
But my body became my greatest teacher.
I love movement and have stayed physically active throughout my life, working as a personal trainer and sports massage therapist since 2001 for 18 years. I was fully booked, ran a successful business and thrived off always being busy, burning myself out, giving out my energy and depleting myself felt like I had earned 'my worth and a badge of honor'.
It wasn't until I discovered somatic bodywork and breathwork that I realised how dysregulated my nervous system actually was, and how many unconscious patterns of stress were hidden inside me, quietly shaping my life.
Always the 'strong one who had it all together' yet I found it hard to be present and was disconnected from my emotions. I was proud to be 'Miss Hyperindependent' unconsciously wearing an armour around my heart that kept love away and relationships at a distance.
In my early 30s, I hit a crossroads, overwhelmed and pressuring myself about where "I should be" as a woman in my thirties. My body became my greatest teacher. Stress from being 'too yang' showed up as a fungal skin infection on my body, a debilitating back injury, anxiety and tearful outbursts. My nervous system was completely frazzled and I was exhausted from being constantly on the go.
Since 2012, I trained in many holistic modalities with world class teachers. I discovered somatic bodywork that rewired my nervous system back into coherence and breathwork that freed myself from 'not feeling enough' and patterns of work addiction and busyness.
Through this work and releasing old patterns frozen in my body and mind, I've integrated past trauma, broken relationship patterns I kept repeating and feel embodied as my true, authentic self. I shifted from sacrificing my health and energy for my business and from attracting emotionally unavailable partners, to cultivating a grounded, present, conscious relationship. It has completely transformed my life, my business, relationships and leadership. It has helped me to be grounded in my leadership, hold space at a high level, attract high level opportunities, exude presence in public speaking and lead from an embodied place, rooted in my soul's purpose and authentic in how I show up and who I be.
I've spent 15 years, over £100k invested, thousands of hours in study, healing and personal growth and thousands of hours of client experience. I have been mastering and honing my craft over many years. I walk the path of purpose, embodiment and mastery, leading from integrity.
I have a multidisciplinary and integrative approach bridging together somatic body & breathwork, coaching, identity work and energetics.
I have worked with clients around the world in Saudi Arabia with members of the Saudi Royal Family and with private clients in Nigeria, CEOs, celebrities, athletes and mission led leaders. I have taught on international retreats and led workshops for brands including Soho House, Time Warner and Alo. In 2020 I authored my first book, Self Care for Life in the City, to address the rising epidemic of stress and lifestyle diseases.
Here's how we can work together.
