Capturing holiday moments on 35 mm film, some with my kids around and some on a day out just with Ansel. Remembering to soak up all of the emotions and moments of motherhood including both the light and dark. Understanding that the darker moments come from love and it’s because I love, I experience feelings anger, disappointment, frustration, loneliness and despair. Maternal ambivalence exists and is a healthy life force. Although our culture doesn’t see it like that. Admitting to the darker feelings in motherhood is taboo and leads to isolation as it discounts part of the maternal experience. Normalising the full experience of motherhood would help to decrease the strength of these darker feelings and help us connect more fully with who we are, with our children and mothers in general. I’m all for it x

Legs and feet, the basis for good posture and decreased back pain. Look after your feet and your feet will look after you 👣 ideas:

- Walk bare foot every day even at least for 10 mins
- Stretch your legs & feet regularly
- Massage your arches. 2 mins a foot before bed
- Learn how your legs move in their sockets 🤸 and understand it in your own body (key note!)
- Counter our modern forward posture with strength in soles of feet, hamstrings and bum muscles

Lots of replies to my story about being nap trapped in my car (again!) and missing my acupuncture appointment. It felt good to hear so many of you feel the same way. I felt supported, even if it is on instagram! Motherhood or life in general can all look ideal or easy on instagram cant it? I’m writing this to say that Matrescence has unequivocally been the hardest time of my life. More so then adolescence. I’ve experienced despair, depression and loneliness a lot during this time. And I never really did before this. But what it has done is provide a gateway to understanding myself better. I’ve done therapy and self work for years but going through Matrescence has kind of jolted me forward. It’s like therapy on steroids! I also think it could be easily avoided if I want ‘look the other way’ but I want to go through it fully, even if it is tough and exhausting because I know I’ll come out wiser and stronger for it.

A problem shared is a problem halved, so thank you everyone who commented on that story. You helped me that day! And maybe this post helps someone out there who needed to hear this. Motherhood is hard! Sometimes it fu***ng sucks and sometimes its the best thing ever. You’re doing a good job and you will be stronger and wiser for it! X

P.s first time I’ve posted their faces. I’m trying it out, see how I feel about it.

Calm places to work muscles and push to your mental and physical edges, without depleting. A gender neutral space in its energy and aesthetic. A place of balance. Minimal design, made with natural and local materials promotes oneness with self and nature. This is my little nook for now whilst my babies are small and work is around mother-work, but these principles I’ll carry on to a bigger space when the time comes. Feels good to dream and plan, it gives me moments of feeling like an adult amongst blowing bubbles and kids books! 😂✨

Always magic this circle! It’s an older timer in the Pilates studio and I’d not pulled it out for a while. But it’s made a come back in my sessions lately. Hey there old friend ✨

Recently I’ve been asked about embodiment sessions and what they are about. How do they work etc? Well its a type of coaching that facilitates the movement out of your head and into your body. To move downwards, softening the concentration from between the eyebrows and touch base with heart & belly. To see what communication is available to you from those areas. To ‘embody’ i.e to be in. I came across this style of coaching 9 years ago after years of talking psychotherapy. It was relief to be out of the swirling thoughts of my mind and to recieve insight from my body. I’ve found embodiment a useful way to get to know myself in a layered way. It seems the brain is just one area of insight! Our culture praises the brain. And is only now recognising the body. There is so much to discover from the body, and become aware of how how we orientate towards situations. You know that feeling of when you know your patterns but somehow cant shift them or stop doing the same thing? I found embodiment the thing that helped me shift. On a cellular level, I changed! It’s hard work. But enlightening! I qualified as an embodiment coach 2 years ago in between having babies. It works well with my pre existing Pilates clients because we can flow between movement and coaching in one session. And for new clients we start off with whats needed first i.e coaching or movement and then over time, where necessary, we expand across to the other. I hope that makes some kind of sense. Please dm me if you have questions.

I find it hard to take pictures of my sessions because they are intimate and a safe space for clients, whipping out a camera is often inappropriate. But here are a few snap shots of hands & feet and a bit of my family in Cornwall lately🌷
