Movement is a gift, like life it is never given, and just like life it can be take away, physically, emotionally and psychologically. We take it for granted sometimes until the niggles start in our bodies. We get stuck in many ways, a frozen shoulder, a 'posture', in grief, or a particular way of thinking. We become unable to see as our immediate world shrinks. We do this consciously and unconsciously, the body will always find the path of least resistance to conserve energy, the mind tries to keep our internal world balanced. Regardless of whether it is good or bad for us, it is always about our survival.

​

We humans are an ecosystem within an ecosystem. Our bodies speak of everything we are exposed to, both consciously and unconsciously.  When the mind gets stuck, the body gets stuck, we feel restricted, unheard, frozen because the brain has total control over our movement and behaviour. We hold our breath, we struggle to think creatively and we stop listening for the signs until we are just keeping our head above water. We lose our spirit and the only language we hear is pain.

​

All animals need movement for longevity. An injured animal in the wild has a low chance of survival. Mobility is just as important as heart health. The two must coexist because one without the other creates struggle. Too little and we stagnate, too much and we face a tempest. The human body through all phases of life has it's challenges, we have to learn to navigate the familiar and the unchartered. But sometimes we find ourselves lost unable to connect it all together, unable to move past the pain, shake off an old identity we think about ourself or we are unable to accept the next phase that life is bringing.

 

We always have to take responsibility of our inner and outer environment, but when pain is involved we sometimes need others to help us listen to our body is trying to tell us. Physical pain is manifested by the brain, when the brain doesn't feel safe it sends signals to every part of our body. It is one of the reasons we might feel pain long after the problems has been resolved. My role is to help you find your way, find the balance within to keep moving and give you the autonomy to face whatever life throws at you.
