Intentions to begin my next phase of training into the deep expansive realms of the cosmos! Shamanic Practitioner begins today...

May I meet my true soul self with grace and knowing
May I believe in my gifts, my voice, my powers for the greater good
May I listen and live by the guidance and wisdom of my teachers, family, friends and allies
May I trust in my right relationship to the divine at this exact time in being alive
May all beings be free and happy!

A new chapter is forming...

Getting back to planning 1 to 1 treatments again! Woohooo

What do you do for self care?
What brings you in to rest and repair?

Allow me to help guide you to your state of renewal, relaxation, rejuvenation

Whether it be through nourishing touch,
Holding presence, channeling life force energy with the Reiki tradition, being sung to and held, exploring your own voice in play together, fully recieving the balm of sound bowls and drum to realign your vibration with the roots of the earths hummmmm

All my offerings come as a deep embrace and connectivity to pachamama, earth, home

May we surrender into the solace of the great Web of intelligence that our bodies our beings are aching and longing to remember

Do not hesitate to give yourself some time together to nourish and love your whole self

Mind Body Soul

N A R C O L E P S Y. Part of my whole.

How can you witness and accept all parts of yourself?

How do you bring your soul to the waters and nourish amongst this intoxicated world?

What makes you feel at home? Known? Seen?

I have been delving deeper and deeper into my own health, psyche, ancestry, grief, morality, prayers, dreams, dragons..! And recently it is clear I am being shown not to forget that living with Narcolepsy is a part of my whole. My holistic. A knot in my weave. The more I delve, the more it can soften. Like tending to the stuck muscle strands when releasing someone's neck tension.
This too can be soothed, listened to and reckoned with.

I am ready to show up more in my own personal conversation with my Narcolepsy to help raise awareness and remember how useful and life changing it would have been to get a diagnosis sooner and not feel so mental.

What is it? How does it make me feel? Is it a disability? What is an autoimmune disease? Can I fix it with celery? How does one cope?

All questions I continue to research and fluctuate my opinion and approach toward. At the moment some main points for now..

I am diagnosed Narcolepsy with Cataplexy

Cataplexy is wyrd!

"Cataplexy is the term given to sudden muscular weakness triggered by strong emotions such as laughter, anger and surprise. The loss of muscle tone that occurs may range from a just-perceptible weakening of the facial muscles through weakness at the knees, to total collapse on the floor. Speech may be slurred, and eyesight impaired (double vision, inability to focus) but hearing and awareness remain undisturbed."

- I have been prescribed speed, modifnal, and ritalin
(which I do not use unless having a driving lesson lol)

- I often fall asleep into REM dreams within seconds or minutes of stillness

- I manage my symptoms with many holistic methods

It is an ongoing process of deep listening and witnessing. More and more giving the "illness" a voice and enquiry rather than begrudging it and fighting. Any questions? Me too! Ask away and let's continue to be curious and well informed of all the parts of this human web.

V O I C E

Have you a relationship with your voice? Your unique sound? Your travelling instrument?

Are there edges you'd like to meet? Adventures you're yet to seek? Peaks you're yet to mountain? Wallows you're yet to grieve?

My inspiration comes from unionising with the cosmos, pachamama, connecting our roots deeply and anchoring into our beautiful, kind, compassionate hearts. Then sharing. Playing. Listening to our surrounding sounds to take us deep down into our own selves. Once we access this layered listening we can then share the depths of our being. Parts that want to play.

Your voice may warble. It may hide. It may yell or shriek and disappear before coming back stronger and brave. We explore together to find the courage and the play. O the play. We are makers of fantastical sounds!

As above so below we traverse this landscape together gathering inquisitively from depths to heights at your own pace ebbs and flows unknown and knowing.

In our sessions we can conjure from my experiences and training in the following:

- Reiki energy balancing
- Gentle play
- Poetic devising
- Meditation
- Sound healing

Songs arise from the magic of the moment, the muse, the mystical miraculous myriad of life force itself. When we open and ground to our earthen power, we become a clearer channel for more songs to be birthed through the majesty of our own divine wisdom and utterings. From whispered mutterings to birds in flight. I am excited to meet you and go on a journey of YOUR voice together.

Recent client feedback for a holistic massage.

Thankyou to all who have given me online reviews. It has taken me a long while to ask for official feedback and properly share it. Stirring up that solar plexus confidence magic. I know each time I give a massage I feel so humbled and honored and genuinely L O V E it so much. To be trusted to tend to your body - mind - spirit for however long. 1h, 20 minutes, 1h 30..each treatment is unique and words are hard to describe the intimacy and release in the power of touch. Holding. Presence.

A lovely local brought flowers to HEAL today

The place is already attracting beautiful curiosity & generosity..

The paint is freshening up the interior, smiles brightening up the street..

I am excited to cocreate the next few months of beautiful happenings from support groups to sound baths, playful dating to deep integrative bodywork.

Each time I visit I come away feeling lighter and inspired by the community gathering together to help out with tasks and asking when will we be open. Keep it coming!
