The somatic massage is quickly becoming fan fave around here… and I know why 😉

Because this isn’t the kind of massage where I just work on the tight spots and send you on your merry way.

I slow everything down.

I work with the body, the breath, the nervous system + the places you’ve been quietly holding emotions longer than you realized.

The shoulders dropping, the looser jaw, the full body exhale you haven’t taken in decades!

Some clients leave feeling lighter. Some feel deeply relaxed. Some get emotional. Some sleep like a log after.

Every body responds differently. But the intention is the same…

To give your body, mind + soul a place of safety where it doesn’t have to hold everything together for a while.

And if your body just said “YES PLEASE” while reading this…

The best part of this work isn’t what I get to say about it. It’s what my clients say AFTER they’ve experienced it. Real women. Real results. Real proof that you don’t have to keep struggling with wanting to release years of stress, pain and emotions held in the body, mind + soul.

If you’ve been wondering whether my sessions can actually work for someone like you… start here.

Not sure what to book? No problem just DM me with START and let’s chat about which service is best for you.

That pattern didn’t come from nowhere, but learning to spot it is a game changer in your life and relationships.

So next time it happens, before you jump in and become Mrs Fix it, ask yourself:

“Do I actually need to do anything right now… or can I just give THEM space?”

Then notice what your BODY wants to do.

Explain?
Apologize?
Disappear?
Fix it?
Make them happy?

That reaction is the interesting part.

Because in my Root Sessions I am looking at the big picture:

Where did your body first learn that someone else being unhappy meant YOU had to do something about it?

Because these old protective responses can keep showing up years later as people pleasing, hypervigilance, tension… or the urge to reach for a “firefighter” to make the feeling go away fast.

Food.
Wine.
Overworking.
The gym.
Doom Scrolling.

Anything that helps you not feel what’s going on.

Sometimes the thing you’re trying to change today makes a whole lot more sense when you understand what it was protecting you from in the first place.

The reality is.. You can know you’re safe now… but your body, mind + soul can still be living by imprints it learned 20 ...

The reality is.. You can know you’re safe now… but your body, mind + soul can still be living by imprints it learned 20 or even 40 years ago.

Don’t upset anyone. Keep the peace. Be the strong one. Don’t ask for that. Just deal with it yourself.

But after doing this year in year out for decades becomes so automatic that you don’t even realize you’re doing it.

That’s why nervous system work isn’t JUST deep breathing, meditation or telling yourself to relax.

Sometimes we need to look at the patterns underneath it all.

Why does saying no feel so uncomfortable? Why do you feel responsible when someone else is in a bad mood? Why can you finally sit down… but your body still can’t fully relax? Why does your jaw and shoulders hurt so much when technically, everything is “fine”?

This is a big part of the work I do in my sessions.

We slow things down, listen to what your body has been holding onto, look at the patterns underneath it and give your nervous system a different experience.

Because you don’t have to spend the rest of your life managing the same patterns over and over.

Your body can learn something new.
And sometimes, it just needs a little help getting there.

If you feel like your body has been trying to get your attention lately, drop the word SOMATIC below and I’ll help you figure out which of my sessions would be the best place to start.

You don’t understand it because YOU wouldn’t treat someone that way.

And I don’t know who needs to hear this today…

But maybe you can stop trying to understand them now.

And just be super proud that you’re not like them 😘

I see it in the women I see every day..

I think a lot of us became “independent” without ever really choosing to be. We learned pretty early that it was easier to sort things out ourselves. Don’t ask for too much. Don’t be a pain. Sit there and be quiet… sound familiar?

Then we grew up and everyone seems to think we are amazingly strong, capable women who have their s**t together 😂

And maybe you do. I am not here to tell you who you are (or aren’t for that matter).

But you also might be the woman saying “no it’s ok, I’ll just do it” even when someone offers to help. The one who feels guilty asking for anything. The one who finds it much easier to take care of everyone else than let someone (anyone) take care of her.
And after doing that for years, it becomes so normal that you don’t even see it as a pattern anymore. It’s just “who you are.”

Except sometimes your body is so exhausted of being the one who has to handle and hold everything.

Maybe being independent isn’t the problem.
Maybe believing you HAVE to be is.

This is why I love the work I do with my clients so much.

Because sometimes you don’t need to become stronger. You need to finally feel safe enough to put some of it down and let someone hold YOU for once.

If this hit home, comment REST below and I’ll send you a few nervous system tips to help you start doing exactly that.

😊🥰🙏

The big hugs after.
The tears that fall because they finally it all go.
The deep breaths.
The woman who falls asleep because, for once, she felt safe to surrender.

And sometimes… it’s about the silence.

After almost 18 years of doing this work, these are the moments that mean the most to me.

Because so many women spend their whole lives being the strong ones.

Holding everything together.
Looking after everyone else.
Pushing through. Staying busy.
Keeping it all in.

So when someone feels safe enough here to cry, sleep, hug me or simply just BE for a minute…

That’s the part you don’t get to see.
And honestly, it might just be my favourite part about what I do.

Firstly let me say that I’m not entirely convinced these are normal at all!

Waking up between 1-3am
Sleeping… but never feeling properly rested when waking up.
Checking your phone “quickly” then ending up in the doom scroll for hours
Blaming caffeine, screens, stress or perimenopause
Googling “why am I waking up at 3am”

Basically blaming everything except asking the one question most of us never think to ask:

What was going on in my body BEFORE this became a pattern?

We get so used to just pushing through life that we stop getting curious about what could really be going on.

Because sometimes the symptom isn’t the end.

Sometimes it’s the breadcrumb to what’s really going on under it all.

Comment the word SAFE below and I will send you my nervous system scan so you can see exactly what patterns are holding you back and where.

Firstly we never even consider that our poor bodies might be just trying to communicate with us do we?

Many women waking between these times often think it’s the dreaded peri-menopause rearing its ugly head. I used to think it too until I took a step back and looked at everything I had on my plate and the emotions behind it all… frustration, anger, resentment… guilt - which all live in the liver and gallbladder. It was having such an impact on my subconscious and I didn’t even realize it. I was powering through daily life trying to do it all… on autopilot, not really even thinking consciously… just doing and it was showing up as disrupted sleep.

So instead of automatically letting your mind drift to hormones.. maybe it’s because you need to look a little deeper at what’s been going on in your life, at home, at work or in your business and being honest about it all.

Now I sleep through the night with no 1-3am wake ups (unless my dog or a thunderstorm wakes me up).
