Together, in small embodied steps.
Somatic Movement Education and Therapy (RSME, RSMT)
Learning to bear the uncomfortable, often destabilising sensations of being human is a difficult and even times terrifying journey. No human life is without some great struggle and very likely, many little/big ruptures along the way. And while we are resilient creatures with incredible capacity to carry on at all costs, the trouble is - there really are costs. Our relationships suffer, our work suffers, our bodies struggle to be well and our own minds can be a harrowing place to live. Talk therapy can help us find ways to make sense of what has happened to us and offer useful reframing, but it doesn’t often deal with the underlying physical memories that return us over and over to the same hurts and the same behaviours. We are feeling beings, and we heal and mature through feeling, movement and language in safe, connected relationships. We all have the innate intelligence to move toward wellbeing when we register a caring environment, where authentic connection is possible. In this kind of setting, with skilful guidance and a titrated approach (meaning a little at a time) and at our own time, we can begin to metabolise our experiences and update our nervous systems and sense of self to a reality in the here and now.

Individual depth work for life transitions
The Four Shields 1:1
Utilising the Four Shields framework I work 1:1 with clients to orient toward generative relationship with personal genius and true kinship with the wider than human world. The Four Shields frame work supports clients to initiate and feed their unique path to true adulthood, catalysing ecological belonging and ultimately restoring balance in personal, social and environmental dynamics.
This work includes an educational component in which clients are introduced to
The Four Shields
Self Generated Ceremony
Medicine Walks
The Art of Storytelling
The Digital Village Fire and The Elder Mirror
Through guided inquiry clients are invited to develop their embodied presence in nature, exploring through solo quests the challenges, urgent longings and questions alive in their world. Clients are welcomed back again and again to the 1:1 digital village fire to share their stories, to be heard and mirrored in such a way that they continue to awaken in relationship to the mystery and beauty of their own wild life.
Working 1:1 with The Four Shields allows for precise attention to developmental imbalances, avoided or under-resourced capacities and over-identified phases.
The Four Shields approach is particularly supportive during periods of uncertainty, transition, and growth — including young adulthood, burnout, midlife questioning, shifts in identity, parenting, loss, and recovery. We explore these experiences as necessary developmental thresholds rather than any pathology.
If you’re longing for a deeper sense of power and inspiration in your life; if you hunger for the creative vitality that comes with knowing your unique contribution / your soul gifts; if you are ready to inhabit to the next phase of your becoming — book your first call today.
I’ll get the fire ready.
