There’s a little som**hing to the power of sisterhood & femininity

In my youth, I leaned more towards masculinity. In hindsight, I suppose I veered that way because I am a late bloomer, suffered adverse circumstances (so I needed to feel less small & more powerful), had trust issues & I also desired to be whatever my mother was not.

Before, I’d intellectualise to fix. I’d fight & unconsciously play the blame game. I’d never ask for help, I’d stay hyper independent, hold all my feelings in & shut my doors to cry… I’d never let anyone see me “weak”. Back then, being soft was a weakness. Being feminine was dangerous. Being around women was dangerous - because my mother was dangerous & unhinged.

I had many male friends & learnt to think in a masculine way. It never fulfilled me. I always came back to dance, to fashion, to art & story writing. It was my sanctuary. Revealing that part of myself is always extremely special for me. Sharing that part of me with someone is a deep gift - because you’re seeing my feminine (now you know ;))

I always say: Watch me dance/move/draw/sing & you shall know me, my truth & my essence.

Yes, I still love “boy things” - FPS video games, paintball, extreme sports, camping, lifting weights, having a t**e, grunging it out in hip-hop & heavy metal, fast cars, careening down rice fields on a back of a scrambler bike, hiking in the wild, sailing regattas, martial arts, sharpening my mind etc

But nothing beats being in sisterhood - I.e. friends, creativity, presence, Mother Nature, stillness, Love (I love relationship!) & myself.

Nothing beats choosing to feel over argue. Nothing beats choosing an intentional touch/caress over an over-explanation. Nothing beats taking it slow to understand & listen rather than fight to be heard.

I love the woman I am & the woman I know I will continue to become.

I have sisterhood & the power of femininity to thank for that.

My personal goal this year? To get over my insecurity about taking photos because of my disfiguration from my accident 🙃 going through my old files & discovering hidden gems (like this photo) makes me value making new memories & collecting snapshots of this precious life 📸

Come join me on an embodied workshop at to for this year.

Early bird prices begin! Contact me or to register.

Limited spots!

WHAT IS THE SESSION ABOUT?

This is an embodied & immersive workshop which builds on the contents of your imagination & unconscious. Anchored in , we will explore the authentic truth of your nature through the symbols, images and ideas that spontaneously spring forth as the session unfolds.

What do you deeply desire?

What limiting patterns or belief hold you back?

What is the essence of your emotions & raw unfiltered truth?

Who are you behind your cognitive defenses & intellect?

Where have you come from & Where will you go next?

To Jung, our subjective experience & unconscious materials hold our eternal wisdom + truth. Truth doesn't speak to us in words. Rather, it whispers to us in symbols, images, sounds, movement & the empty space between each breath.

No prior experience needed. All materials provided :)

See you soon in the interpersonal matrix of discovery 🙏🏽💐

To all who know me, you will know that I find my belonging, Self & nestled in the enveloping embrace of Mother Nature 🌏

Returning to the depths of the ocean is a personal X'mas ritual. Diving always feels like homecoming. The waters alchemize the fires of my phoenix & the ashes from where I arise 🔥

From the murky, dark, infinite blue depths of the open endless waters... I crystallise. I am reborn.

This trip was a significant one for me. As many of you know, I struggled with a summer of Murphy's Law in action - everything that could go wrong, went really wrong:-

Fractured ankle
Ovarian cysts
Pelvic inflammation
Immobility
Family drama
Ex-tenants destroying my flat by cooking m**h
Breakup
Severe bronchitis & rhinitis
Acute asthma
My cat nearly dying
Renovating & building my flat from scratch

I am so glad I trusted my intuition & spontaneously booked a Liveaboard dive trip. It was my gift to myself.

I had the bestest time!

This year, I experienced an immense felt-sense of . I had plenty of lucid dreams in my bunk bed, reviewing all of my lived experiences these past 10 years.

In them, I was touched by a Grace so deep that I changed. I appreciated all the hardship & lessons I went through. I experienced deep compassion for all whom I've wronged & who have wronged me. I was blessed by a great sense of forgiveness. I was softened by Love+Acceptance.

It all clicked underwater. I was baptised.

Too much to express here, so I'll break my realisations up into different posts 😇

For now, I wish to thank

🐟The dive crew of Manta Queen 8

🤿My wonderful dive buddy, .clough.55, for all the fun, 'The Spit', the massive underwater camera lights on our night dive & the well executed dive emergency we had on our penultimate dive. I had a great time laughing with you Jason 😊 thanks for being awesome

Last night at with the amazing

I got up in front of a live audience for the first time as a performer after 9 years? Last time I performed, it was for my 30th birthday & I did burlesque, pole & jazz.

This time? It was improvisational. Whatever was alive for me emotionally flowed out.

This time? I sang with Prince (who's a clear performing veteran) & I'm a shaky newbie 😅

What was beautiful? Singing to a live audience was always on my bucket list. Because for the life of me, I adore singing & I have always wanted to become one of those musicians I ogled at every live event I go to

Talk about role playing & stepping into those boots for a night. It was so healing, so refreshing & so invigorating. I look forward to gaining more confidence & skill to continue performing.

Who said 40 is too old to return to the stage?

Never! 😂

Anyway, I've always felt one of my past lives was part of the jazz/art deco scene of Paris/New York in the flapper era.

1930s old fashioned Jazz/Blues bar+restaurant
Music, Dance & Art is so healing.

Thank you, Prince. For the amazing opportunity 🙏🏽 I look forward to more collaboration with you.

& it's a wrap! Thank you to all who came to move & feel on the dancefloor ☺️🙏🏽

My next offering will be Drama Therapy in January 2025 at . Swipe for details + Registrations are open 🌸
