About me
For as long as I can remember, I often felt like the odd one out.
At school, at university, in work situations and, at times, even within my own family.
I spent years moving, travelling and keeping busy, filling my life with new experiences, places and training. I loved the freedom and adventure, but underneath it all I was still questioning who I was and where I fitted.
On the outside, I was confident enough to do my own thing, but I often carried a sense of not quite belonging. I found ways to keep busy and, at times, to numb what I was feeling rather than really sit with it.
Becoming a mother gave me a very good reason to keep that part of myself tucked away. There was always something to do, someone who needed me and a life to keep together. Being the glue can make it easy to lose sight of the person underneath it all: Who am I? What do I actually want from life?
Motherhood is my greatest priority and something I value enormously. It is also, at times, incredibly difficult, repetitive and boring — while being one of the most fulfilling and meaningful things I have ever experienced. I struggled with holding all of those feelings at once. But it remains one of the most precious things I have ever been part of.
Eventually, I realised that the answer wasn’t to keep running. It was to start listening.
Learning to listen
As my children grew and a little more space opened up in my life, I began to pay more attention to myself. Mindfulness became an important part of that process. I started noticing my thoughts rather than automatically believing them, and became curious about the patterns underneath them — what triggered me, what I believed about myself and why I responded to life in the ways I did.
I’ve always been curious about people and what lies beneath the surface. I’m perfectly capable of small talk, but I’m much more interested in the conversations that go deeper. I became increasingly interested in the idea that understanding ourselves isn’t just about thinking and talking. There is so much we experience through our bodies that can be difficult to put into words.
Movement and dance helped me discover this in a very real way. Movement has always been important to me, but I began to see it differently — not simply as something we do with our bodies, but as another way of expressing, exploring and understanding ourselves. I love the freedom of getting out of your head and into your body, and the possibilities that can emerge when you stop trying to think your way through everything.
Somatics
This naturally led me towards somatic therapy and a deeper interest in the nervous system. We can understand something intellectually and still feel it completely differently in our bodies. We can know we’re safe and still feel on edge, or find ourselves repeating patterns we desperately want to change. Sometimes our bodies tell us something long before we have the words for it.
Along the way, I’ve explored mindfulness, yoga, breathwork, movement and nervous system regulation, and these experiences now inform the way I work. I don’t believe there is one formula or quick fix that works for everyone. I’m interested in helping people become curious about their own patterns, understand themselves with greater compassion and reconnect with what genuinely matters to them.
Because perhaps we don’t need to spend our lives running from ourselves to create a life that feels like our own.
