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.

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.

Warmest, Louise

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.

The body knows how to heal so much—but it needs our attention, not just our techniques.

The body is wise. It will avoid sensations that once felt overwhelming and choose easier, familiar patterns instead.
But when we meet those sensations with curiosity and care, without rushing, transformation happens naturally.

Interoception is our ability to sense the internal landscape of our body—heartbeat, breath, tightness in the chest, flutter in the belly, swallowing a cry... Peter Levine teaches that healing begins when we feel these sensations without needing to fix or flee from them.

You can do yoga, breathwork, talk therapy, even TRE®️ —but if you’re thinking about your to-do list or avoiding uncomfortable sensations while you do them, the deeper patterns won’t shift.

The nervous system doesn’t just need tools—it needs us to stay present with what we feel.

A child practising TRE might tremble gently through their legs, but if their mind is somewhere else, the body may continue avoiding the deeper sensations tied to old fear or helplessness. Instead, when they pause and gently notice, “my chest feels tight” or “my tummy feels weird,” and they stay with it while being supported, the body begins to trust that it's safe enough to process that emotion.

This is what creates change—not force, but presence.

Awareness is the doorway.
Safety is the medicine.

I recently had a wisdom tooth removed and cried in pain more than once after the procedure. Initially, I felt frustrated that healing my nervous system resulted in my prided "high pain threshhold" being a thing of the past. But it allowed me to slow down, to ask for the support that I needed. Ultimately, avoiding an FND (functional neurological disorder) flare-up.

Even during the procedure - to tell the doctor that I have FND and that I may experience myclonic jerks or functional tics while he worked. He let me pause for these, for my body to express the tension that felt like too much.

It felt empowering. And even if it seems like a strange little step - what it allowed me was a sense of agency over my body. I listened to the pain, what I needed to feel safe with it, and advocated to receive it.

And doing it once makes it feel possible to do it again and again.
(Note: I still by no means get this right ALL the time)

Pain is protection.

It arrives to warn us that we need to move away from danger, it braces the body with tension to avoid injury, it lets us know when someone's intentions are not kind.

How have you been able to create safety for yourself during a painful event or period of time?
If it feels impossible or far away now, remember to reach out for support.

I’m excited to invite you to
A Picasso-Themed Art Workshop

Saturday, 8 June, 10am

Come and play with colour as you paint a bold self-portrait—or bring a friend and paint each other!

Expect creativity, colourful snacks, and community.

This workshop is the first of what I hope to grow into a regular opportunity for expression, connection, and fun—as part of building my portfolio and saving towards a long-term dream of studying postgrad Art Therapy.

Your support, whether by joining or simply sharing this with friends and family, would mean the world to me.

Enduring chronic tension, anxiety, fatigue, pain... because something within us hasn’t yet had the chance to finish its story. And your body remembers. Sometimes even if your mind has moved on, your body continues to carry what was never expressed, never completed.

Fascia, the connective tissue woven through our entire being, doesn’t just hold our shape. It holds our history. It’s shaped by our experiences—by stress, emotional overwhelm, moments when we had to push through instead of pause.

If that tension doesn’t find a way out, it stays. Not always as a memory we can recall, but as tightness in the jaw, a heaviness in the chest, a racing mind, or an inability to fully rest.

TRE®️ invites the body to speak in its own language. Through natural, neurogenic tremors, the system unwinds—gently, intelligently, without force.

This isn’t about fixing ourselves. It’s about allowing what was held in to be heard—so the body can do what it knows how to do: restore balance.
