I shared this in my stories, and have been so appreciative for the kindness and encouragement, that I thought I'd let it take up a longer residence in a reel 😂

I recently was asked to share 'My Story' with the Oncology Buddies magazine. I thought, "sure, no problem. I talk about my journey with cancer all the time."
Sjoe, it was so much harder seeing it on paper condensed into 2 pages, and far more final than a spoken story. So it has taken me 6wks to decide to get over myself and just share this version.

I do think that the way I recount my story changes every time I tell it. Each re-telling processing some part of it with more importance. And a lot of this has to do with the fact that my story is also very much still ongoing - fear of recurrence, survivor guilt, a weird relationship of checking in with where I stand with death and dying, random moments in life feeling suddenly heightened when I realise I could easily not have been present for them, boredom at my own repetition of my story and worry about how that same repetition is probably received by others that might think it's time to get over this now and be grateful for my luck while it lasts... I could write another 2 pages.

I love hearing other people's stories and I hope that sharing mine might invite some of you to share yours.

Also - ladies go for your pap smears and anyone who can (boys and girls) - get your HPV vaccine.

Love always,
Louise

Group TRE®️ is here again 🥰
A beautiful way to maintain your shaking practice while also having the opportunity to move a little deeper into the body while space is held.

We meet every Sunday at 4pm to prioritise stress management (that really works, and works without much effort and lots of goodness), and commit to 90min of honouring the whole self - mindbodyspirit.

If you are hoping to learn TRE®️ but are new to the practice then keep an eye out for upcoming "Introduction to TRE Workshops" or contact me for a private session.

I am so looking forward to getting back to these.

Warmest, Louise

Lately I’ve noticed the word somatic everywhere.
On book covers, course titles, social media reels.
And while I’m grateful that the body is finally being invited back into the conversation, I also feel a tenderness, a concern — about how quickly it might turn into trend.

Bodies didn’t suddenly become intelligent when we gave body work a name.
They’ve always spoken — through sensation, posture, symptoms, tension, fatigue, movement or lack thereof...
What’s changed is that many of us forgot how to listen.

In my work, somatic practise isn’t something we "do" to the body.

Through touch, interoception, slowness, and practices like neurogenic tremor, we create conditions where the body doesn’t have to perform, behave, or get anything “right.”
There is no goal to push toward, no expectation to release something, no demand to heal.

Instead, there is an invitation.

An invitation for the body to speak in its own language — rhythm, vibration, stillness, heat, breath, sound, stretch.
Even numbness.

As a somatic practitioner, my hands don’t arrive to fix or correct.
They arrive to meet.
To stay with what they find.
To listen without interpretation, judgement or urgency.

And yes — sometimes we are afraid of what our body might reveal.
Afraid it will be too much, too old, too messy, too unfamiliar.

But what I’ve witnessed, again and again, is this:
When a body is met with patience, curiosity, and respect — it begins to soften on its own.
Rhythm returns.
Flow returns.
Relationship returns.

Healing doesn’t happen because we pushed harder.
It happens because there is reunion — mind, body, spirit — and safety.

Let me know what comes to mind when you hear "somatic". I'd love to hear different perspectives and experiences.

Embodiment isn’t a hack - it is committing to a relationship with the nervous system, a gentle trust that regulation comes from presence, not perfection. It is the courage to stay when everything in you wants to leave.

25/09/2025

You don’t need a stress-free life—and it wouldn’t be healthy anyway.
You need a nervous system that can transition smoothly and appropriately - activate when there’s a real demand, then settle when safety returns.

Your stress response is a vital survival system. Short bursts of adrenaline and cortisol sharpen focus and mobilise energy. The trouble starts when your body can’t shift back into the “rest-and-digest” state, (often because you don't mobilise with stress - you sit in the car, behind a desk, wide awake in bed, hold in the cry, tell everyone you're fine because it's easier than explaining the internal chaos) leaving you in a chronic fight, flight, fawn, or freeze pattern.

Prolonged activation can drive systemic inflammation, disrupt sleep, strain the brain, and affect mood. Hello "symptoms"!

Neurogenic tremor can be accessed in safety and with support, and MOBILISES and EXPRESSES stored stress response. So even if life requires that you can't mobilise in response to each stress - you can access and express it at a later stage and help your body complete the stress cycle. All by just allowing an innate function to ACTUALLY FUNCTION.

I would love to teach you how.

Very seldom are we taught to be in conversation, connection, relationship as a body-mind-soul as self-care. To create space within, sift out the unhealthy lessons, and nurture what we KNOW to be true.

We're taught that we should fix emotions that aren't easy for others to enjoy, to control and improve our body's aesthetic for consumption and performance, that we should be messy just enough to be endearing.

What FEELS like self-care to you... ?

Do more of it 🤗

If we stay full of ideas that never materialise, we remain in the fog of fantasy.

It is in action that we find the answers, that we grow our confidence, that we step into power.

You don’t have to feel 100% ready or have it all figured out before you begin. You don’t have to be good at something to start. The very act of beginning is what shapes us, clarifies our direction, and builds our capacity.

This has been my inner conversation lately. I’ve been finding it hard to share here, to action workshops, or to continue building my website. Each feels a little awkward, like they carry the risk of disappointment if the ideas don’t unfold with the outcome I’d hoped for. But I keep reminding myself—start anyway. Give yourself permission to make mistakes. Stop taking everything so personally. You don't hold others to the same harsh criticism that you often hold yourself to.

Sometimes, the gentlest step is doing something privately—without documenting or performing it for others. Sometimes, it’s choosing smaller goals that feel safe enough to step into.

But always, it’s the first step that creates the path.

What’s one thing you’ve been waiting to feel “ready” for, that you might begin today—even in the smallest way?

TRE® and Sound Journey
A beautiful union of vibration and embodiment.

I’m so thrilled to be offering this second immersive experience alongside Tamarin and Cheryl from Sound of Gongs—a journey into deep sensation and nervous system regulation.

TRE® activates the body’s natural neurogenic tremor, gently drawing the piezoelectric fascia into flow and inviting a parasympathetic, ventral vagal state—and a sense of connection and safety.

As the nervous system settles the vigilance of busy lives and fascia grows responsive, the body’s hydration-rich matrix becomes an exquisite medium for conducting the vibrational resonance of sound. Gongs and Tibetan sound bowls create frequencies that ripple through tissue, promoting sensory awareness and profound rest.

This is an opportunity to meet yourself with curiosity and to allow sound and the soma to work together as medicine.

Spaces are limited – book early to reserve your place.

A client this morning shared that she had claimed today as a day of gratitude. Something about the way she said it stayed with me.

She’s been working through the fear of unexpected illness—the kind that whips that rug of idealised control from beneath you and leaves you up against the cold, hard truth of your own mortality.

Her simple intention felt like a surrender. A quiet step forward... not to escape grief, but to meet the day as it was.

It made me think of gratitude as a thread
delicately stretching between the ache and the awe,
between grief and the relief of a present moment,
between hoping for pain to end and clinging-to-life-right-now...
A suspended thread to, almost defiantly, choose to walk.
A sacred journey to take between where we've been stuck and where we’re hoping to arrive.

And I suppose sometimes the simplicity of choosing to place one foot in front of the other—
claiming the day as one of gratitude—
is the most honest kind of prayer.

Living with chronic symptoms can be frustrating, exhausting, and deeply disheartening. When your body feels unpredictable or uncooperative, it’s easy to internalize the idea that something is wrong with you—that you're malfunctioning or broken. This can lead to a spiral of helplessness, hopelessness and disconnection.

But what if we choose to reframe symptoms not as failure—but rather as signals, information, attempts at protection... ?

Our bodies hold immense intelligence. They speak in the language of sensation, posture, breath, and rhythm—especially when words aren’t enough. Pain, fatigue, tension, or anxiety can all be ways your body is asking for care, boundaries, rest, or presence. This doesn't mean the symptom is your fault. It means there's a relationship here worth tending to.

These gentle questions are an invitation to get curious, not to fix. To be in conversation, not in control. They help create a pause between the discomfort and the story about it. That pause can be a place of possibility—a moment where you choose to listen, to offer kindness, or to reach for support.

Warmest, Louise
