February 2, 2024 No Comments

Dysfunction in postpartum women is very common and even though much goes undiagnosed the estimates of diagnosed dysfunction are as high. And far too often, women are left to navigate the physical and emotional aftermath alone. If left untreated, issues like this tend to get worse as women age and reach menopause.

May 18, 2021 No Comments

So, I wanted to share a little of my experience of training to become an ‘Ecstatic Birth Practitioner’ over the past year. Signing up to this training was an intuitive leap of faith in the middle of the first lockdown of 2020 – I had already come across Sheila Kamara Hay – who created and runs the training – and I just had an instinct that it was going to be the support I needed for both my own development and for that of my clients; that instinct turned out to be completely spot on.

Holistic Pelvic Care – A story to share

March 10, 2021 No Comments

I often try to convey to women the potential benefits of post-natal healing and Holistic Pelvic Care, but it’s patients themselves that usually say it best. This week, I received this message from Alexa and she has been very generous in allowing me to share it with you.

Tips for moving from fear to love

April 10, 2020 No Comments

I am writing this for everyone but particularly for those women who are currently pregnant. The uncertainty and change that surrounds us at the moment is affecting each of us in very different ways. I really want to reach out and provide support to the pregnant women out there, many of whom will be feeling things acutely at the moment.

Contraction and Expansion

I’m not one to share personal stuff usually but this week it feels right to share with other women out there. This is my experience this week related to women’s health and shifting from contraction into expansion, from reaction into resonance.

The Root Chakra

October 8, 2019 No Comments

The idea of writing a piece about the Root Chakra came to me during my yoga class last week with the wonderful James Cassidy at East of Eden.
