I have a new class in Oxford with spaces available if you are a beginner or have been thinking about getting in touch and are not sure how to start. This is a small group which means you can really focus on learning the foundations for better movement and how it relates to your body in more detail.

I thought I’d kick off my first newsletter of 2024 with some reflections on busyness, stress and your bowels.

The festive season often means changes in what we eat, dealing with stressful relationships and less activity (here in the UK at least).

Movement matters when it comes to navigating the broad arc of women’s health through different stages of life. Pre and postnatal, menstrual health, perimenopause, menopause, pelvic health long term, bone and joint health, mobility, nervous system regulation and sleep are all aspects of women’s health that can be affected through different stages of life. This new class series is dedicated to providing space and time in the week for you to slow down, tune in, move in ways that balance tensions, restore ease of breathing and movement and improve confidence.

It’s Menopause Awareness Month, and amidst the sea of advice and information which, in itself can be overwhelming for any person going through perimenopause and menopause, I'm going to champion the unsung hero of menopausal wellness: Constructive Rest.

Get down on the floor, roll, stretch and release using highly effective techniques grounded in restorative practice, mindfulness, nervous system regulation and massage. Taking time to prepare the body for deep rest is a skill that comes with a multitude of benefits to your digestive system, nervous system, scar tissue flexibility, pelvic floor, muscle tone and more.

A deceptively simple way to release lower back tension in preparation for, during and after a really long walk.
