✨ TRAUMA RELEASE MOVEMENT - TOMORROW NIGHT ✨

A soft, spiritual space for women healing from trauma

Tomorrow night we gather for 30 minutes of intuitive movement; a gentle, embodied practice created to help release tension, reconnect with your body, and support your healing journey.

This session is for any woman who has lived through trauma, carried heaviness alone, or feels the weight of stress tucked into her body.
You don’t need confidence or experience, just a willingness to show up for yourself.
Every part of you is welcome here.

🌿 Our focus tomorrow:
Releasing the tension held in the stomach, chest and jaw, the places our bodies often store survival energy, fear and unspoken emotion. Through grounded breathwork and soft, intuitive movement, we’ll invite the body to feel safe enough to let go.

🌙 And afterwards…
We’ll take 10–15 minutes for gentle journalling, giving you space to anchor what’s surfaced, honour what you’ve released, and capture any insights rising from the movement.
This reflective moment often becomes the most powerful part of the session, a bridge between your body’s wisdom and your conscious healing.

✨ Why Trauma Release Movement?
Because trauma doesn’t just live in the mind, it settles in the muscles, in the breath, in the places we tighten without realising.
Movement creates openings where trauma once lived, and journalling helps meaning and clarity flow into those openings.

This is a spiritual, nurturing, and deeply grounding space.

A reminder that even after everything you’ve survived… your body still knows how to heal.

If you feel called, I’d love to welcome you in.

💛 Join us tomorrow night:

“Freedom From Within” is an invitation to return home to your body. Trauma Release Movement (TRM) is a gentle, guided practice created especially for survivors

Lady Elish found the "response overall lacks what is afforded to other high-priority crimes".

She said her recommendation in the first part of her inquiry - published last year - that those with convictions and/or cautions for s*xual offences should be barred from policing, had not yet been implemented.

Additionally, more than a quarter (26%) of police forces had yet to implement basic policies for investigating s*xual offences, including indecent exposure.

Lady Elish said: "Prevention in this space remains just words. Until this disparity is addressed, violence against women and girls cannot credibly be called a 'national priority'."

Angiolini report follows Everard's murder by off-duty police officer Wayne Couzens and finds that 26% of police forces lack basic s*x offence policies. "Get a move on," they are told. "There are lives at stake."

A new blog is live — and this one is long overdue.

I have worked in many organisations that proudly claim to be “Trauma-Informed.” The reality? Many of them are anything but. In fact, some of the most harmful environments I’ve ever witnessed — and personally experienced — were the very places preaching trauma-informed values while practising behaviours that were, in truth, deeply traumatising.

So what does this gap between branding and behaviour really reveal about our systems, our culture, and the power dynamics that shape them?

Our latest BTA blog, “The Illusion of Being Trauma-Informed: A Closer Look at Empty Claims,” takes you behind the polished statements and glossy policies — into the uncomfortable truth that too many organisations weaponise the language of trauma without embodying the principles.

If we are serious about safeguarding, integrity, and survivor-centred care, then the conversation starts here.

In recent years, “trauma-informed” has become one of the most widely used phrases across mental health, social care, education, policing, and beyond. It’s a term that carries weight — and rightly so. But with its rise in popularity, it has also become a label that many adopt without truly un...

Lived-Experience Trauma-Informed Practice Training (CPD Accredited) 🎓

So many professionals care deeply, but without the right trauma-informed tools, even the best intentions can fall short.

Being trauma-informed isn’t just about knowing what happened to someone, it’s about how we show up when they trust us with their pain.

I created this training because I’ve seen too many survivors retraumatised by the very systems meant to protect them, and I know that most practitioners simply haven’t been given the space or guidance to understand trauma safely and compassionately.

🌿 Freedom From Within: Trauma Release Movement (TRM) — Tomorrow Night 🌿

So many of us carry what we couldn’t say…
In our shoulders, where tension sits like armour.
In our stomachs, where old fear still whispers.
In our jaws, where anger and words once trapped stay clenched.

Our bodies remember — long after our minds try to move on. 💔

Trauma Release Movement (TRM) is not about performance or perfection.
It’s about reconnecting with your body safely…
moving gently, intuitively, and allowing what’s been held for too long to finally soften.

If you’ve ever felt:
✨ constant tightness or fatigue with no clear reason
✨ stuck emotions that talking can’t reach
✨ ready to reconnect with your body in a healing way

Then this session was created for you.

🕊️ Join me tomorrow evening for a deeply restorative 45-minute TRM session — a space to breathe, release, and come home to yourself.

No experience needed. Just you, your body, and the freedom waiting within. 💫

Still time to book your place:
