Self-awareness leads to self care.

If you aren’t aware of how you feel, you won’t be aware of what you need.

You won’t make the necessary changes to thrive and you will stay unhappy.

Body- awareness is the first step to self-awareness. By tuning into the body you give yourself permission to feel. You can’t heal it without feeling it. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…the only way out is through. Sometimes it’s messy, sometimes it’s gentle but it is always expansive.

Healing the body is not about learning how to be comfortable, it’s often un-learning what discomfort actually is. Your emotions are human responses to outside stimulus, stimulus that’s often really sh*tty. It’s normal that you have a response to it. Let’s deconstruct comfort and re-define growth. Sideways growth is still growth babe.

If you are looking for a hand holding session into somatic awareness and trauma healing then… guess what you’ve found it.

Tonight I am teaching a beautiful, nourishing breath work session combined with a somatic awareness sleep story.

Tune into the body, regulate the nervous system and allow the realm of the mind to wander into a cozy, fantasy dimension.

Ever wonder why a somatic sleep story feels extra powerful when you pair it with holotropic breathwork? 💨

Here’s the magic of combining the two:

🩷Deep Nervous System Calm
Somatic cues signal safety. Breathwork opens the body. Together, they guide you into parasympathetic melty goodness.

💜Release Stored Tension
The story brings you into your body. The breath helps unwind what’s been held there. Subtle shakes, sighs, and waves of relief are common.

🧡Emotional Integration
Breathwork shifts brain states, making your subconscious more receptive. Supporting new insights + gentle healing. SOFT AND STRONG is how we heal over here 🫶🏻

🩷 Dreamy Inner Imagery
When breath and somatic storytelling meet, the inner world becomes vivid, symbolic, and intuitive. I pride myself on the imagery. I’m an avid fantasy reader and writer. It’s going to be a gateway straight to the inner landscape of your mind.

💜 Better Sleep, Better Mornings
You fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake grounded, soft, and connected.

This combo is one of my favorite pathways to “Navigate Your Depths, Breathe In Your Light” 🌊🌅

It's the final week to join this months Sunday Night Stress Release at the end of the month, and enjoy deep relaxation for your mind and body.

Regular, and dedicated time in a relaxing state helps improve your sleep, your blood pressure, your mood and energy levels for the coming weeks.

Our next Sunday Night Stress Release class Sunday 30th of November, and helps you switch off from overthinking and enjoy deep relaxation in the mind and the body.

So for those joining us for the first time, or maybe picking up after a break here are some helpful things to know:

• It's not yoga, just deep relaxation and you will be guided through how to relax and let go
• You can wear something you will be comfortable and warm in as the body has a tendency to cool down during relaxation
• You don't need any experience, or someone good at relaxing to join in
• You can join in lying on yoga mats provided, or seated if you prefer

Please save your space now as class can be busy: https://snsr2025.eventbrite.co.uk

My up and coming breath work class is going to be a wee bit different from usual!

Rather than working with a strong self development theme, I will be incorporating a somatic sleep story into the class.

If you are someone that struggles to fall asleep in silence then you might be familiar with sleep stories already. It’s a guided audio experience that is designed to help you fall into a deeply meditative state by engaging the body’s felt sensations and not just the mind. It blends gentle narrative, grounding cues, and body-based awareness to move the nervous system out of stress and into deep rest. Think of it as storytelling that speaks directly to your physiology. Breath work will be a precursor for the sleep story to allow you to get your brain into theta, this is a brainwave state similar to dreaming.

I will be basing the story on seasonally relevant folklore. The story will be something I have written specifically for the session and will combine tales of The Selkie and The Cailleach.

Both are tales that are centred around themes of a deep descent into the self, sacrifice, wisdom, inter-generational wisdom, freedom and longing.

Folklore preserves women’s voices when history didn’t. Providing strong archetypes to identify with and validates feminine intuition ✨

You can book the class through the link below by selecting Sundays at Choose You 🫶🏻❄️

This first Session is going to be all about MANIFESTING...so if you are interested in manifesting and receiving abundance in your life, come join us....
We’ll begin with a little grounding Cacao Ritual & Meditation.
Then we’ll shake off and release any residual resistance and release blockages that are preventing us from manifesting abundance, through gentle movement.
Through Breathwork we will connect deep into our body, being present and strong so we can attract, receive and hold all the ABUNDANCE.
Moving into a Third Eye Meditation we will tap into our inner wisdom for the vision of the life we want to step into 2026.
Finishing with Journalling and our Dream Jar Ritual.
