My Story
As far as I can remember, I’ve always sought a deeper meaning to our existence in this world. Often I found myself grappling with intense feelings and emotions. Growing up in a small northern town in England, I sought various ways to numb, escape and disconnect, including extensive drug use and obsessive creativity.
A huge part of my personal journey has been understanding and empathising with other people who were also struggling. Illness, disabilities, addictions, so many unique and interesting humans doing the best with what they had and where they were. I became curious about the methods we use to shift our energy patterns, often simply so we can numb what we are feeling, I found myself searching for a more meaningful way of being.
In 2012 I experienced profound loss and my search for meaning became urgent. In 2015 I stepped onto the 5Rhythms dancefloor. This simple practice combined so many of the things that spoke to me, an intuitive connection with my own nature, art in motion created spontaneously moment by moment, and a safe space to embody and move through challenging feelings and emotions.
I stepped into service (supported) with 5Rhythms teacher Neil Pinnock as crew for his long established class in Birmingham and began my own self enquiry journey. I attended many 'embodied' workshops looking at shadows, the ego and its ways, ancestral healing and other heart-led explorations. In 2018 I traveled to Utah to train as a 5Rhythms Spaceholder and since then have offered inclusive, sacred safe to moves. My art and creativity has continued to flow alongside my movement offerings as a constant source of inspiration, calm and grounding.
In 2024, I completed the 5Rhythms teacher training, further deepening my commitment to this transformative practice.
Your Story
How we navigate life with energy is influenced by various factors. Our upbringing, environment, genetics, and culture shape our daily lives, impacting decisions and motivations. Yet, within us all resides a fundamental human nature shared by everyone. Imagine transcending our self-perceived identities and labels, accessing an innate understanding of humanity.
Consider your body as a conduit to your authentic self: a passionate, instinctive, and untamed essence often concealed in our fast-paced world. This vessel of flesh and blood contains suppressed emotions and sensations encountered in our daily journey.
Dancing in a unique, secure space enables a profound connection to our primal bodies and the emotions they hold. Exploring our energy flow, we attend to its emergence, noting the fluidity of certain body parts and encouraging others. As we dance with purpose, we release what's ready to depart, fostering internal healing and liberating ourselves.
Whatever revelations we uncover in this sacred setting, we carry into our ordinary lives, grounding ourselves in a truth that transcends societal norms and influences.
