Hi Team!
If you haven't had the chance to check out the Big Exhale program, I encourage you to. It looks great.
You'll find me in the Wellbeing Village, ready and waiting to offer up some heart-centered, seated breath and bodywork treatments for the afternoon and evening.

Although I have scored a little cold somewhere in my travels, it's lovely to be back working on this amazing project.
Listening through the walls of the rehearsal space has been lovely, as has accompanying Kris while she creates the amazing costumes.
The cast and crew have also embraced my wellbeing offerings, that come with a healthy dose of lived experience as a performer.
If you get the chance come and see it, or even contact them to see if you can put it on in your space.

Oh my heart!
Who would have thought the heart and heart emotions were connected? Well, across the ages, many. I actually think it's wonderful that ancient knowledge is finding modern validation.

Depression and anxiety may heighten cardiovascular disease risk through chronic stress pathways in the brain and body.

I've highlighted the links between certain breath related factors, with memory and emotional interpretation before. Here's yet another indication that there is more to respiration than meets the lungs!

The simple act of breathing shapes how and when memories are successfully retrieved.

In preparation for 2026, I have procured this little pearl. So, when the space and you are both ready to combine bodywork with a tailored program of breath, mindfulness, and somatic awareness, I can comfortably accommodate.
My aim is to be operational here by Easter. In the meantime, the portable set up is available to come to you.

Drop into the second last session of the year.
Given that many of us get caught up in keeping up with social responsibilities around this time of year, self-care can wind up taking a back seat. For this reason I'll be adding some self-massage/stretching/movement flows into the remaining two classes to help you get through the holiday season.

Thanks to the team at Hugh Matthews Podiatry, the 2026 relaunch of the clinic is looking great! I was able to acquire some very useful equipment from them, that will go a long way to supporting some powerful private mindfulness, breath and bodywork sessions.

We had a really lovely class tonight. They are small but sometimes they resonate very powerfully.
Two weeks left before the holiday break.
