Craniosacral Therapy and Coaching, for me, are two vessels towards the same goal. And rather than being an ultimate landmark destination, the goal here is a process. And rather than the process following a mapped out pathway, the process is an exploration of a previously undefined territory.

So Craniosacral Therapy and Coaching are an experiential journey throughout the body (physical and emotional), the mind and the psyche to discover those landmarks that become the guides that plot a new way of being, living and thriving, both internally and externally.

While you show up for yourself over and over agin, I provide that container for the alchemical transformation … from dissolution (unbecoming) through the wasteland of letting go to the oasis of your gift and life purpose.

And then I leave you there a while until the next journey around the circle ⭕️ of Zen; each circumambulation becomes more familiar yet no less necessary for consistently stripping away the layers that have prevented absorption at the next nourishment station.

No need to build towers to the moon … just wait for the clouds to clear … everything is already there just waiting for you to see. We don’t have the capacity to see everything all at once at all times but that doesn’t mean it’s not all there … always.

We don’t have thoughts; we arrange information based on what we engage with and we engage with only that which fits and supports the narrative we are living into.

As an Integral Coach all I can do is walk beside you on your path for a certain part of your journey and guide your vision to notice that which has before been outside of your objective reality. This helps you ratchet open your belief system so more can enter your reality and together we can shift your narrative and change your path to one more appropriate to where you want to go.

“If you bring forth what is Within you, what you bring forth Will save you. If you don’t bring forth
What is within you, what you Don’t bring forth will destroy you.” 

When the physical body becomes toxic there is a cascade effect upwards through all the bodies and ultimately one’s spiritual essence loses the will to live. This can happen as a downward cascade too, both transmitting transformed energy through the lower chakras to stimulate purification.

It’s not about breaking out of the prison of one’s body but finding liberation within it and through it. And the goal is not to eradicate all dis-ease necessarily but to find and develop those inherent resources that we can use to cue our sense of safety within the dis-ease.

Transformation isn’t about changing anything but about opening to a shift in patterns that will organically steer one’s being to a kind of alchemical transmutation. When we try to change we automatically set up a resistance to what we don’t want but when we accept things as they are, one’s focus shifts away and the resistance drops … and then everything is open to change free from clinging to how one wants it to be.

Sometimes this embodiment of our true selves is beneath a lifetime of injury, trauma, addiction, illness, and subsequent compensation. Sometimes we have forgotten who it is we were born to be. Sometimes we have fought so hard to live a life for others we have lost connection to the life we are meant to live for ourselves. Everything exists within you and you have a unique medicine to gift to the world that no one else has. We all came here to heal–some miss the point by believing there is shame in imperfection, so they push the scars behind the wound and then deny that too. When you begin to recognise and identify your pain, you have begun the journey to healing, and when you acknowledge and honour your wound you have heeded the call to your gift.

You are not a drop in the ocean but the entire ocean in a drop; you are nature embodied; an accumulation of the universe from the dawning of time till the death of humanity. You are stardust and mountains. When you realise this, you will let go of the beliefs you have created as an armoured suit around your soul and you will be able to live according to your full potential.

It’s a revolutionary act healing your past so that you can change your current reality to live more fully in the present … it’s a revolutionary act defying what society says you should be so that you can be free to be who you really are … it’s a revolutionary act to untether yourself from your belief systems and ratchet your psyche open so fully that you are no longer an isolated individual but a part of the entire universal flow. 

So, when do you start? Right now.
And where do you start? Right here where you are.

You can only ever start from where you find yourself at any moment because in every moment you already have everything you will ever need inside you. You need only uncover the tools you have to find the containment for this flow to find its form.

I believe that to travel well is better than to arrive. How about you?

Illness is not simply a physical affliction; it is an experience of soul as well. Repressed memories sit like a time bomb in the cells of the body, until symptoms show up to alert you to the wound. When we work together in my  therapy space, we don’t attach a narrative to the wound but, instead, feel into the somatic expression of the wound in a process of finding a pathway THROUGH the wound and unhooking from the memories … without judgement and without re-traumatisation of the system.

Bringing wounds to the surface can sometimes mean that the healing can be more painful than the wound itself. But, with healing modalities that take your body into parasympathetic nervous system activation (‘rest and digest’), I can guide you into a better-resourced state of innate health so that you are safely held and more able to confront and diffuse the time bomb and find harmony and wellbeing once more.

You may not have chosen your particular path; you may have been unwittingly pushed off or on course by events in your life; but this is your path and only you can walk it.

Whatever the challenge, you have either the resources or the capacity to develop the correct set of resources to travel this passage through whatever you step in to meet and whatever rises to meet you.

Yet that set of factors are the very things that have also equipped you for this particular path.

This is your own personal pilgrimage.

Travel well … one step at a time. Nothing is here to just ‘get through’ or ‘get over’ or ‘be done with’ in order to be happy … The challenge is to befriend it all and be happy WITH it rather than only was it’s done.

I am your guide who will show up and meet you where you’re at … whether you are interested in walking one section of the journey and need guidance on how to traverse the full route or if you’re amped to go the full distance but feel you only have the capacity for a short section. Lets both just arrive with open minds and hearts full of wonder so that no matter the distance the journey will be complete. For now… and now… and now .

I have tried various types of physical yoga practice for the past twenty years from Rishikesh to London to Cape Town but did not resonate with any of the styles …

And then I found Transformational Yoga which has a scientific approach that appeals to my mental desire to understand fully the cleansing process of the chakra bodies through the various tools included in this practice.

I have now completed the 500-hour level teacher training in Transformational Yoga and the 200-hour level teacher training in Transformational Integral Meditation Education with Sri Swami Vidyanand in India and am now a certified master and ambassador for the meditation program as part of the World Yoga Federation.

I have studied Vedanta for almost ten years and layered that with studies in Jung Psychology, finding a harmonious play between the texts. My main meditation and pranayama practices began in 2008 with the Art of Living and in 2011 with Vipassana where I am about to complete my second Sattipathana course.

As a qualified Craniosacral Therapist and Integral Coach, I supplement all these modalities with much life experience, research and studies in nutrition, developmental psychology, psychic development, shamanism, quantum physics, neuroanatomy, finance and creative writing.

I believe we are already all we need to be, yet sometimes the embodiment of our true purpose is forgotten beneath a lifetime of injury, trauma, addiction, illness, and subsequent compensation and often all we need is the correct holistic tools of development to guide us back to our innate health and inherent intelligence. I invite you on an exploration to greater self awareness, integration and inner resourcing so that you are better equipped for the pilgrimage to finding your purpose.
