The living close the eyes of the dead but the dead open the eyes of the living.

5 years ago I did a biodynamic body therapy trauma training and I have been using it in my practice since with excellent results. I’m looking to get more certifications so I’m offering 1:1 sessions at upto 75% off and group sessions with upto 85% off in return for allowing me to record the sessions for training purposes.
Only limited spaces at these prices. The beauty of these healing therapies is that you don’t need to disclose any of your trauma or personal material and can still feel the release and energetic shift and processing of trauma.
They can be done physically in person or over zoom.

On the day of my mum’s funeral I had missed a course in Oxford that I had booked myself onto. It was hosted by one of my favourite teachers Dr. Arielle Schwartz whom I have done previous somatic therapy trainings with. It was a 2 day course on Applied Polyvagal Theory in Yoga an immersive therapeutic journey. In order to pass this wisdom onto my therapy clients as well as benefiting from practicing those techniques as well.
Fast forward to today I just signed up to a shorter online course to compensate for missing that one, called Post-traumatic growth and yoga: A trauma-informed path to nervous system regulation.
It commences with Dr. Arielle Schwartz reading a poem that she had written and it truly resonated with my experience. There is an old saying that the more your heart gets broken the bigger it gets, I think it comes from the Sufi tradition. So with grief it can awaken one to the gift of life and spirituality and a greater capacity for love.

“Weighed down,
Anchored like a ship in the harbour, this grief, a contraction condensed around my heart.
No , I am not abandoned here. Rather, I am tethered to all that exists. All that has ever existed. I am filled with purpose, drawn to the tender not so distinct edges of where my heart meets the heart of the world. For a moment beating as one the ache moves carries me in waves pulsations of the divine. What is dying is the illusion of abandonment and should I forget this truth in a world so vast. There is always the invitation to be reborn into this love, again and again breath by breath.”

Being a complex person isn’t a burden—it’s a sign of emotional depth, self-awareness, and inner richness. If others misunderstand you, that doesn’t mean you should shrink yourself or simplify who you are.

Today is international men’s day.
So let this be a cue to check in with at least one male friend today, as the weather is getting colder make sure to send someone some of your warmth.

I’m all about doing more of what you love. And letting people know what it is that you want. I have very very limited space but I could commit to one more client a week.
Or happy to add to a waiting list for 2026.
Happy to supervise other therapists either trainees or established. Happy to work with trainee therapists, I’m UKCP registered. I’m particularly interested in working with you therapeutically if you are curious about bodywork, energy, breath and somatics rather than talking therapy.

I had the privilege to hear Frank speak last year at Oxford University. I remember asking Arielle Schwartz about attachment theory as I always experienced it to be fluid depending on the relationship and situation, but most trainings teach it as being fixed. So validating and hopeful to hear that indeed each moment can be defined in different ways and attachments can change and have a different flavour to them depending on what behaviour is being exhibited and what is being evoked in each moment.
