My Story
For as long as I can remember, I’ve searched for deeper meaning in our existence. Growing up in a small northern town in England, I often grappled with intense emotions, seeking ways to numb, escape, and disconnect—whether through extensive drug use or obsessive creativity.
A pivotal part of my journey has been understanding and empathizing with others who were also struggling—those facing illness, disabilities, addictions, and other challenges. I encountered countless unique and resilient individuals, each doing their best with what they had. This sparked my curiosity about how we shift our energy patterns, often as a way to cope with or alter our emotions. That curiosity led me to search for a more meaningful way of being.
In 2012, a sudden and profound loss made my search for meaning urgent. Something inside me broke, leaving me overwhelmed with grief. I began exploring alternative ways to process intense emotions, and in 2015, I stepped onto the 5Rhythms dance floor. This simple yet profound practice resonated deeply, weaving together elements that spoke to my soul: intuitive connection with my inner nature, spontaneous art in motion, and a safe space to feel—even when those feelings were uncomfortable.
My journey of self-inquiry deepened as I began supporting 5Rhythms teacher Neil Pinnock as part of his crew for his long-running class in Birmingham. I immersed myself in embodied workshops, exploring shadow states, ego mechanisms, ancestral healing, and other heart-led practices. In 2018, I took a leap toward holding space for others, traveling to Utah to train as a 5Rhythms Spaceholder. Since then, I’ve offered inclusive, sacred spaces for movement—women-only gatherings, outdoor sessions in nature, and seasonal workshops. My creativity has remained a constant companion, flowing alongside my movement work, offering inspiration, calm, and grounding.
In 2024, I completed the 5Rhythms teacher training, deepening my commitment to this transformative practice. Now, I’m seeking opportunities to bring this work to those who might not otherwise have access to it.
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.
