Your body feels wound up like a coiled spring, constantly on the edge of snapping. 

Leaving you with all kinds of ailments such as a painful back, poor digestion and restless nights.  

Maybe you wake up in the morning and you ache, you sit for a while and your back hurts, Sometimes you wake up in the night in pain. You just can’t get comfortable, and it’s impossible to get back to sleep, mind racing, thoughts circling. 

Your digestion doesn’t work properly, your hands and feet are always cold, your immune system doesn’t work as it should, so you catch everything that’s going round, and you’re Just So Tired all the time.

And then there's the feelings of hopelessness and anxiety that make you want to curl up into a ball and hide away from the world.

You're irritable, snapping at everyone. Emotions all over the place.

You’re afraid to do the gardening because you know you’ll pay for it the next day when your back gives out. Same with a long hike because you know your body will be so sore afterwards. 

But you love doing these things, and you miss them… 

It’s as if the real you is trapped somewhere inside a malfunctioning body

These are signs that you are living in the stress response.

These feelings are usually caused by situations beyond your control, so the only solution is to find a way that helps you to stop reacting and start responding to the world from a place of inner composure.

When you feel like this, you look back on your life and wonder why it’s all changed. How did it get this  bad? Who are you anymore?  You don’t recognise yourself. Your whole identity seems to have changed. 

You’d really like a properly functioning body, to get back to a life without pain, so you can do the things you love, and regain that feeling of contentment that feels so long gone. 

I provide simple, practical support to help you to  process and heal from your grief, understand what you’re experiencing, and finally find some peace and contentment so that you can move forward on your journey through life.

You secretly suspect that  some of these symptoms you’re experiencing are connected to the underlying feelings of grief that you're not over.

But you don't know how, and your GP can't quite put their finger on it. 

You've tried massage, talking therapy  and other healing modalities and they work for a time but don’t seem to get to the root of the problem.

You just want to live a full life again! You want to feel normal again.

Your grief doesn't have to define you, even when it’s devastating and feels impossible to go on.  

The problem is that we hold onto it. Not being able to let go.

You’ve never been shown how to let it go. 

And so it builds, causing you to hold patterns of tension in your body, and repeat unhelpful patterns of behaviour, leading to discomfort, distress and sometimes even chronic pain. 

You don’t have to live like this.

What would help is a simple solution that takes a few minutes a day but really helps to get to the root of your problem, and keep on top of it, so that you feel better for longer and are more able  to cope with all that life inevitably brings. 

Something accessible and easy to do, that you can sneak into a five or ten minute break, or after a long drive, or at the end of a stressful day. 

Or something that will relax you before you go to sleep. 

Something that you can safely practice at home without having to sign up for years of expensive therapies or classes. 

Sometimes a consistent short practice to deal with stress can be more powerful than taking a holiday or changing your job.

Why? Because over time these small practices seep into your life and become a welcome break in your day, a pause where you can switch off for a few moments and gather your thoughts, and this can build into a positive habit that really supports your life, no matter what life throws your way. 

I invite you to check out some of the practical support I can provide. I fully believe in these methods. I know that they work because I use them daily.

Using the tools of Yoga, meditation and TRE you will have a safe framework that you can come back to time and again, to hold you, a safe container to help you to process those difficult feelings, to quiet your mind and bring a bit of peace and contentment back into your life. 

Whether you choose to work with me or someone else, this is what I would recommend.
