Work With Me
A deeper way of meeting yourself
You don’t need another project to improve yourself.
The work begins with becoming present to what is already here — the patterns you carry, the sensations in your body, your thoughts and feelings, your relationships, your choices and the ways you meet life.
Through compassionate inquiry, embodied practice and reflection, we explore what may have been protecting you, what no longer serves, and where greater freedom and aliveness might become possible.
You can begin with a Deep Dive. From there, if it feels right, we can continue into a longer container.
You might be here because…
You may have a sense that something in your life wants to change, even if you can’t quite name what it is.
Perhaps you:
- keep finding yourself in patterns you understand but can’t seem to shift
- feel stuck, disconnected or somehow less alive than you’d like to be
- find yourself living according to expectations that no longer feel like your own
- want to understand what is really going on beneath your thoughts and behaviours
- are going through a transition and want space to explore what comes next
- want to feel more at home in yourself and your choices
- are looking for deeper personal work rather than advice, strategies or another self-improvement project
You don’t need to arrive with a clearly defined problem. Curiosity is enough.
Start with a Deep Dive
One-to-one · 80 minutes
A space to slow down and explore something that is alive for you now.
You don’t need to prepare or know exactly what you want to work on.
The Deep Dive is an opportunity to experience how I work and to see whether there is something here you would like to explore further.
If we both feel there is something worth continuing, there are two ways of working together.
The 3-Month Journey
A focused period of practice
Three months gives us enough time to move beyond insight and begin to practise a different way of meeting yourself and your life.
Together we may explore patterns of thought, feeling and behaviour, embodiment, relationships, boundaries, choices and the places where you feel stuck or disconnected.
The work is not about fixing yourself.
It is about noticing, sensing, understanding, choosing — and bringing what you discover into everyday life.
Details coming soon.
For now, we can explore whether this is the right next step after your Deep Dive.
The 9-Month Immersion
A deeper container for living the work
Nine months allows something different.
Rather than working on one particular issue, we have time to explore how you relate to yourself, to others and to life as a whole — and to let the work become part of how you live.
There is space for the body, feeling, thought and will.
For relationships, nature, movement, reflection and practice.
For what emerges along the way.
Not a programme to complete.
A space in which to practise being more fully alive.
Details coming soon.
For now, we can explore whether this is the right next step after your Deep Dive.
How I Work
Compassionate inquiry, embodied practice and relationship
My work draws on my training in Compassionate Inquiry, transpersonal counselling and coaching, together with more than two decades of practice in yoga, movement, nature and embodied exploration.
I don’t see these as separate techniques.
They are different doorways into the same inquiry:
What is happening here?
Can I stay present with it?
What am I sensing, feeling and thinking?
What am I avoiding?
What is true (for me)?
And from here, how do I want to meet life?
The body is essential to this work.
So are curiosity, compassion, clarity and relationship.
This isn’t about fixing yourself or becoming a better version of yourself. It’s about becoming more intimate with the person you already are — noticing what shapes your choices, understanding the patterns you carry, and discovering new possibilities for how you want to meet yourself and your life.
Other ways of exploring
Reconnection through craft, movement, nature and story
Some of this work happens outside the one-to-one space.
I offer immersive experiences through movement, longbow making and archery, yoga, nature and shared inquiry.
These can be hosted by communities, groups, retreat spaces, schools or circles of friends.
You gather the people.
You choose the place.
We create the experience together.
Longbow & Narrative Yoga Workshops
Embodied craft, movement, attention, imagination and story — exploring presence, relationship and meaning through the bow, the body and the land.
A group journey is coming
I am also developing a small group journey exploring presence, curiosity, embodied awareness and the practice of meeting life more consciously.
More details will follow soon.
Embodied Practice
The body is not separate from the work.
Yoga, Qigong, movement and other embodied practices can become ways of sensing, listening and discovering what is already present.
My teaching draws on more than 25 years of yoga practice and teaching, alongside my continuing exploration of Qigong, archery and other movement traditions.
Individual sessions can be tailored to your body, your experience and what you are exploring.
A little about my background
My work has grown through a lifetime of exploration.
I have been teaching yoga since 2001 and have spent decades exploring movement, meditation, nature, craft, archery, Qigong, counselling and the many ways human beings make meaning and relate to one another.
My training in Compassionate Inquiry, transpersonal counselling and coaching has brought these threads together in a way that feels deeply aligned with how I sense and see the world around me.
I don’t believe we are broken.
Our patterns often make sense when we sense an inner standing where they came from.
The work is not about becoming someone else.
It is about meeting ourselves with enough presence, curiosity and compassion that we can begin to live with greater freedom and aliveness.
Begin where you are.
You don’t need to know exactly what you need.
You don’t need to have the right words.
You can simply begin with what is alive for you now.
Deep Dive may not be for you if…
You’re not particularly interested in looking within, exploring your patterns or opening yourself to the possibility of change.
This work is for people who feel a genuine curiosity about themselves and a desire to live with more freedom, aliveness and connection.
You don’t need to know what needs to change. You only need to be willing to explore what is here.
