If I could sum up my approach to movement, I would say it’s grounded in:
Awareness, attunement, attention, connections, coordinations, curiosity, compassion, coherence, emergence, exploration, embodiment, enquiry, dynamics, depth, development, feeling, force transmission, health, healing, integration, intelligence (of body), listening, pathways, perception, patterns, process, pacing, qualities, relationality, roundedness, rhythm, regulation, resonance, subtlety, softness, soft strength, space, spirality, sensing, somatic, textures, trust, yielding, variation, wholeness
I’ve been studying the body since my mid-twenties, and now, as I edge towards my mid-forties, that thirst for discovery and depth continues to grow and evolve.
I draw on my background in Scaravelli-inspired yoga and craniosacral therapy, along with my love and study of other somatic practices, fascia anatomy, contemporary movement theory and psychology, to help people deepen their connection with themselves and the world around them through the process of embodiment.
I use movement principles and theoretical frameworks as a soft scaffold to explore and share ideas about how we experience and organise our bodies in motion. Yet at the heart of my practice and teaching is the cultivation of a particular quality of attention -one that invites us to sense and feel into our deep, living intelligence of the body as it emerges moment by moment. When we move from this state of presence, we open to the possibility of a profound bodily awakening.
That profound awakening is deeply personal and subjective, and therefore difficult to put into words. Below is a list of more tangible physical experiences that you can expect to improve by working with me:
ease and glide
tissue elasticity
core support
strength, stability, mobility
agility
healthy posture
range of motion
energy
integration
efficient force transmission
A felt sense of your structure as a tensional, sensory, body-wide web
