As the mother of a neurodivergent young person I understand intimately how difficult life can be at times.
I've cared about helping people reduce stress and overwhelm, so they can start to ground and come back home to that deep sense of self, since I began my career in wellness as a shiatsu practitioner back in 2005.
Over the years the help I offered has changed and grown to reflect who I am and my particular passions at a given season in my life.
Rooted and entwined into all of them has been that idea of coming home.
That work to promote a more coherent, balanced sense of self.
The season I'm in now is one of still parenting, and being there in the capacity of 'scoffolding' for my son. It still requires a lot from us all as a family, and of me as a Mother.
For this reason I keep my business small and work around my child's needs.
And I think I've come to a place now where I know I can help Moms/Mums like me.
Those who have children that require that bit more from them.
Those for whom the world has perhaps shrunk to mananging others' lives day to day, hour by hour...
...often to the detriment of their own health and wellbeing.
Those who find they are truly exhausted, a deep, deep tiredness that leaves little room for life.
But life goes on. And we need to find space for ourselves,even if it's only in the cracks to begin with.
This is my story too.
This is why I am particularly interested in offering gentle, restorative style yoga classes, restorative massage & mindful, caring EFT coaching that allows the space and time to contact the nervous system, encouraging a state of rest & digest and allowing the possibility of relaxation.
I offer this tentatively, as of course I still need to be very present at home. The time feels right, and time will tell :)
And when not I'm not actively being 'Mom', you will find me nose deep in a book, journalling, yoga-ing, lifting heavy s**! (for my wellbeing apparently), taking the dog for a walk, meditating, listening to wellness podcasts, eating and thinking about womaning up enough to go for a wild swim. Might stick to the cold shower!
