Put simply is paying attention to the present moment, on purpose. This course is about using mindfulness as a tool to discover ourselves on a deeper level. We may use mindfulness practises such as guided meditations, mindful listening, bringing attention to ‘negative’ thoughts, all with the intention of becoming more accepting and therefore more peaceful in our day to day lives.

In the context of this course embodiment is being ‘in the body.’ This can be an ongoing practise to learn as we often spend a lot of time in our heads. We need both mind and body and they are intrinsically linked. It’s all about finding a balance. Through doing different exercises and continuing to bring our attention back to our body and really listen to what she has to say we retrain our system to trust in this wisdom, which we all have within. In terms of movement, some sessions we may remain still, seated or lying down, other times we may be moving, shaking or dancing. There is space for it all.

As part of the holistic course we will do some sessions where we focus on the energy within our bodies. This can be as simple as tracking sensation and being aware of changes throughout the body. You don’t have to have any experience working in this way, and if you do, that is perfect also.

While we won’t have time to explore this topic in depth during the course it does feel important to incorporate as it’s such an integral part of being a woman. When we are connected to our pelvic bowl we can live in full alignment, utilising our innate gifts as a woman such as intuition, creativity and the ability to birth ideas and creations into the world. You may have heard of this concept elsewhere as womb healing, womb wisdom or other terms. Ok but what IS the pelvic bowl? It’s the entire area located within the pelvis, so along with the bones it’s the muscles, tissues, fascia and organs - womb, bladder, cervix, ovaries, vagina and vulva. We will likely tap into connecting with the womb and or yoni during a guided meditation. It will be very gentle, and of course everything is always invitational.

Cacao is the purest form of chocolate and is packed with vitamins and minerals, it is a superfood. It is traditionally grown and used in South American cultures as a plant medicine and is known for its heart opening and healing properties. If you are new to this drink and decide to choose the cacao option for our ceremony in the last session, I will send you a full information guide along with preparation guidelines. You will also receive your cacao in the mail from me, unless you already have your own.

We will allocate between 60-90 minutes per session. The reduced/free courses which I am initially offering will enable us to work together and decide what length of session is best. Your feedback on this will be most welcome.

They will differ depending on what week we are on, here is a brief outline of how the course may run Weeks 1 & 2 - Introduction to Mindfulness, the attitude and benefits. Gentle mindfulness meditation practises. ​ Weeks 3 & 4 - We start to introduce embodiment with self touch and movement, and we learn about the mind-body connection and the nervous system. ​ Weeks 5 & 6 - We learn about the importance of connecting with our pelvic bowl. We investigate the deeper parts of self, connect with our soul essence and open to higher wisdom. There is always room for change and adaption to meet the clients needs best. If there is an area which needs more attention we will focus on that. The outline is a suggestion, and a thought out balanced programme, however if there is any aspect you would prefer to leave out, or talk more about, that is of course absolutely welcomed. It’s important for you to feel safe and you have complete control and autonomy over what you partake in. Everything you bring will be held and celebrated and I invite you to express your needs wherever you can.

At the moment yes, however if you would be interested in a one off 1-1 session so you can decide if signing up for the course is right for you, please let me know. The exchange will be £55 per one hour session and can be fully tailored to your desires/needs.
