We are all students and teachers in this wonderfully mad and unpredictable school of life.
I imagine what we all long for more than anything, is connection – with our authentic self, with others, with all of life, in order to live more fully.
By being yourself, you make it safe for others to be themselves.
Insight card, game of transformation
I find life endlessly fascinating…to explore why we humans are sometimes mean, sometimes generous, why certain people upset us, why we can be so anxious and aggressive, and what stops us being honest.
I’ve learned a lot from (sometimes repeat) courses in Unconscious Relationships and Eating My Feelings. I’ve experiential diplomas in such things as Strength Through Vulnerability, Transforming Childhood Trauma and Radical Change. My ongoing life studies include It’s Not About the Men, Advanced Self Awareness and Surrender to Tenderness.
Where are you in the school of life? What do you need to make the most of the rest of your life?
My aim is to live a life of love in action, whether it be through my UZAZU Embodied Intelligence work, holding space, heartfelt connection, dance workshops, writing, group work facilitation or the Game of Transformation.
UZAZU Embodied Intelligence
Talking about challenges in our personal or professional lives in a rational way is only helpful to a point. There’s a lot of therapies and coaching styles that work from this level of the mind – I know better than anybody the trap of talking myself in circles, till I’m truly sick of myself and my ‘stories’… and very little changes. But UZAZU Embodied Intelligence understands that the body stores old stresses and memories and so works from the level of body-mind.
Using body postures and sounds, different dimensions and the elements, and noticing over and under activations, UZAZU can explore issues you’re aware of on the surface and also things buried more deeply. People are often surprised by how this method so quickly cuts through the chatter and the defences, touching in, through the body, with what most needs attention. Once the body reveals the tensions, imbalances and vulnerabilities that stop you reaching your potential (a state of wholeness), we can address them. Using various techniques, limiting mindsets can be shifted and cleared in a grounded, embodied way so that results tend to be more permanent.
So I say – get out of your head and give UZAZU a try. Working with things at the body-mind level brings insight and the opportunity to change old behaviour patterns forever.
I offer 75 minute sessions online by zoom or in person.
- Single session – £70
- Two sessions – £120
- Four session block – £220
- Ten session block – £500
Snippets of appreciation for UZAZU:
- By the time we finished our ten zoom sessions so much had transformed…I had some really great techniques that I could use to keep reconnecting to myself instead of disassociating.
- Thanks to UZAZU, my body is the vehicle for transformation.
- The Uzazu movements have stayed with me and infiltrated my trauma clearing work.
- Enacting the movements and gestures, allowed me to find my centre, diminish my confusion, and seek out support.
- Four in person sessions helped me to gain new understanding of long-standing aspects of my life, in addition to embodying ways to improve them

Working with Groups
I am a spaceholder. I build a sense of community and solidarity of purpose through such tools as group attunement, circle dancing, games of self-discovery and Joanna Macy’s Work That Reconnects. I am also a facilitator of FORUM, a tool which builds group trust through transparency, vulnerability and authenticity.
I can also teach you how to hold a group with depth and heart.
Circle Dancing
A wonderfully effective non-verbal tool, always involving lots of laughter, and also holding the capacity for deep connection to heal and open the heart. I hold sessions of varying lengths with groups small or large, for pure enjoyment, but also to build a deep sense of community. I use traditional and choreographed dances from all over the world, from lively gypsy rhythms to quieter meditative dances. I particularly like to bring dance to corporate groups – a great way to build connections and give the brain a rest.
Attunement
Attunement is about presence. It is a tool which grounds the individual, connects the group, names the purpose and focuses the intent. Attunement brings depth to important moments so they are not lost in the daily rush to get on and do. Learn the skill of bringing individuals or groups present, whether it is in your personal, family or professional life. Learn how to open a meeting, or any space, with heart, depth and precision.
Connecting
I offer a mutually expansive and transparent space of honest connection and equality, welcoming sanity and madness, the depths of your inner world, humour and imperfection. In an exciting but unravelling world let’s see where that leads us.
Writing & Speaking from the Heart
I can bring heart and inspiration to a piece of your writing or write something meaningful and authentic for you from scratch, after an initial consultation. I am also available as an honest, down to earth motivational speaker.
The Game of Transformation
A board game with a difference!
Choose an intention and use the game as a powerful tool to uncover your gifts, blocks and blind spots and identify ways forward. I am a trained facilitator of The Game.
