Embodied, Somatic, Bodyfulness, Creative

As well as being a Shiatsu practitioner, I am a dancer, teacher, creative movement specialist and facilitator who has worked with children and adults of all ages. Currently, I offer a range of creative movement workshops, classes or events that can explore (but are not limited to) sensory and emotional engagement with landscape and our world. I have also run children's summer schools under the name Trellech Dance.

These days, my creative work draws on how the body can gain enhanced wellbeing through moving somatically and achieving ‘bodyfulness’ while responding to nature and the environment around us. I am keen to share my unique tools to support emotional, mental and physical health through creative and physical interventions in the Wye Valley and surrounding areas.

Movement is central to my Shiatsu practice, but when working with clients individually I bring my attention to their body’s internal healing power of energy and movement. I believe that through a more subtle, inner exploration of our bodies, it is possible to become more aware of our emotional, physical, spiritual and physical state and also our needs. This internal observation now inspires my creative movement work.
