Relationships are such a delicate precious and deeply human thing to navigate.
They can break us open in devotion, or shatter us apart in deep heartbreak.
While most adults desire a healthy relationship with their intimate partner, we are all literally just doing our best to navigate the karmic shit sandwich we’ve been dealt.. And more often than not, it aint very pretty 🙄
For we have rarely been taught the basic skills of healthy human relating – for our parents we not likely to have learnt them either. And the reality is, most of us will do scarcely better than re-creating something akin to our parents relationship, unless we desire enough and strive enough to create new habits, patterns and pathways in our neurology.
You see we learn by example – monkey see, monkey do – so as children our parents/ carers taught as much about relationships. And if theirs was less than perfect then how can we ever create anything better?
I believe therapy has a place, but so to does doing deeply embodied work that changes us not just in our minds but in our core. And nowhere do our embodied patterns have a greater impact than on our closest relationships with other humans – our lovers, our partners, our parents, our children, our pets, our closest friends.
For me intimacy begins when we are willing to begin see the people we relate with as a reflection of ourselves and also as our greatest teachers. But this also takes a willingness to go within, to own our shit, to see our flaws, to acknowledge our fears, to be with our imperfections and our human-ness.
So how do we get to a place of being more healed? One step at a time.
With humility.
By having compassion for ourselves and the other.
With patience and an open heart.
And by having a willingness to learn, grow and really own our faults.
I use Embodiment as my lens for such deep inner work – this begins when we learn to listen in to our bodies more deeply then we may wish to.
To hear when our body is saying ;
that it feels unsafe, that it wants to close or run away, when its anxious or afraid, hurt or wanting to lash out at others.
Our deepest most primal patterns lie in the body and in our nervous systems; so in the body is where we need to work to repattern these wounds them for the most lasting form of change to really take root and sprout – from the inside out. And this is why I now choose to use Embodiment based coaching over traditional mind based methods.
For me personally the area of human relationship is my obsession & vocation. It is the work I am most passionate about for Intimacy & Embodiment have become the deepest medicine for my own healing – the thing I have come to rely on in myself daily. If you wish, I am here to guide you to do the same.
As your Coach –
I will NOT try to fix you for you are not broken.
I will not try to Heal you for you are your own healer.
I will simply guide you to listen to your own body even more subtly, so you can find your path back to yourself.
From there, we can each begin to show up as the best versions of ourselves.
The body cannot be forced to change, but is deeply wise and knows how to guide its own healing when given the space to do so.
In this way, change happens slowly …
Day by day, bit by bit, moment by moment, breath by breath.
One piece at a time we begin to put ourselves back together, heal our own nervous systems, heal each other through regulation, devotion and mutual care.
Treating relationship as a spiritual path means we care for each other’s hearts, each other’s bodies, each other’s souls …
If you are curious to try something outside the realms of traditional psychology, stemming from ancient teachings rooted in working with the wisdom of the body, lets begin. Intimacy & Embodiment offers a doorway into self-healing that will not only liberate your soul and empower you, it will teach you how to become your own healer..
So you can leave the world in a better place than your found it, one person and one relationship at a time.
❤️
Yours in wonderment at this Life we are loving
