May our hearts be filled with Love
May we spread Love
May we surround ourselves in unconditional Love
We bend so we do not break
My desire to do the work also comes from deep heartache and suffering within myself from when I experienced the loss of both my parents who died by suicide in 2016.I began searching externally for relief from my pain trying to find the answers to my heartache. Each venture took me further and further into my suffering and not towards the ‘healing’ I had hoped for.
I felt a desperation for someone or something to take my pain away and allow me to live again. It took years of running away from myself to finally realise that solace was within me and I had to look within and face my suffering to surrender to my heartache in order for my healing to begin. It was when I decided to accept that I was more able to walk alongside it.

How my practice has helped me shape and grow in my own life
Movement has allowed me to connect to the discernment of my body, guiding me inwards heightening my interoceptive awareness enabling me to notice when I feel dysregulated or when I need to invite feelings of safety. Learning to read my own body cues for when I need rest, play or when something isn’t feeling good has become an invaluable tool on my self-awareness.
Cultivating the ability to become mindful in life has helped me in a plethora of ways. I like to describe mindfulness like waiting for a train with ruminating thoughts being trains that come past. Recognising I am not the passenger on those trains and merely an observer on the platform, watching and allowing the trains to pass has enabled me to at times break the cycle of noticing when I find myself on board the journey with the awareness of acknowledging if I can get off at the next stop.
I will never underestimate the power of the breath and how it can influence my state of being. My breath is a resource and has helped me in many ways to connect back to myself.
My practice has taught me connect to my innate wisdom. The continual self-enquiry enables me to look deep within to identify purpose and what makes ME feel fulfilled. Recognising how I want to show up in life and in what ways, which extends with how I connect with others.
To be human is to suffer, it is a part of life and there is no denying this. Suffering can keep us from being our true selves. It is not your fault what happened to you It’s what we do with our suffering that can transform our lives.
