Spring 2022
Just as soon as one crisis seems to be abating, another looms on the horizon.
I don’t know about you, but i’ve needed the support of my movement practices and dear ones more than ever this past week. I’ve been touched by the outpouring for the people of Ukraine, by the collections of food, clothing and toiletries, by the prayers and vigils being held for peace in our world. Some days it’s hard to stay present to the news, we need moments of respite and rest, we need the resource of being in our bodies and connecting with each other in vulnerability and courage.
Exploring your relationship to your body through Holistic Massage is a good way to find ease, support and comfort on stressful days, committing to a trauma informed Deeper Listening Programme will support your healing journey and offer you new resources within the safety of a therapeutic relationship.
Massage and Listening Touch Sessions - New Location
I’m really happy to announce that I am now practicing from a beautiful new massage studio in Iffley Village, Oxford. Thank you to Serena of ANEW THERAPIES for reaching out and sharing this space and featuring me on the Anew website. What a generous heart.
Also, another generous heart, and a big thank you to Amanda and ‘The Lavender Shed’ for homing my practice until now and really helping me to get my business off the ground in East Oxford over the past year.
I will be working regular Monday Afternoons and Fridays in Iffley Village. Other times may also be available on request.
Thursday evenings at the Lotus Retreat in Faringdon will also continue.
Please get in touch if you would like to book an appointment at either venue.
Voice
Despite the Cirencester Voice Lab sadly not getting off the ground in February, things have been busy for me in the realm of voice work and Collaborative Vocal Improvisation. In February I attended a 4 day in person retreat at the beautiful Eden Rise in (a very windy) Devon with Briony Greenhill (check out her new album - it’s gorgeous) and I feel topped up with wonder and faith in the power of singing our hearts in circle.
I have some amazing collaborations happening in March and a weekly sole (soul?) offering for the people of Faringdon and surrounding areas.
If you’re a Facebook user you can follow the links to the events and if not, you can find more details on my website.
Voice Circles offer a place of refuge, somewhere we can express our emotions in safety, where we can ignite love and strengthen peace in our hearts for the world, there are also numerous health benefits.
Whatever your reason, you are very welcome to join.
