✦ Come Home: A Somatic Series for Self-Devotion

A 4-week guided journey come to one or come to all.

Try the first class and feel it out, or dive into the full experience. This recurring 4-week somatic series is designed to guide you into deeper devotion to yourself, to declare your desires, and to fully embody your authentic power. Each class stands alone as a potent portal, while together they build a powerful arc of transformation. Drop in when you need it, or commit to the full cycle you choose your rhythm.

My Mission.

My mission is to create a sanctuary for women to reconnect with themselves, cultivate inner clarity, and step into their fullest expression. Through embodiment, breath, movement, and intentional practices, I guide women to give themselves permission, root into their own power, and align with their desires. I empower women to move from the inside out, to recognize and integrate the protective patterns that have shaped them, awaken the guidance of their highest self, and embody confidence, presence, and joy. My work is about helping women shift their internal world so that their external world becomes a reflection of their truest, most expansive self.

The Embodied Woman Classes

A Somatic Series for Self-Devotion

A 4-week guided journey come to one or come to all.

Somatic Therapy

Beneath the layers of protection the inner critic, the anxious worrier, the perfectionist lies the soul’s deep wisdom, waiting to be embodied.
In these 1:1 sessions, we approach each part of you with compassion, curiosity, and willingness, gently unraveling the stories that no longer serve you. Together, we create space for these parts to be seen, heard, and integrated allowing your true wisdom to emerge with clarity, confidence, and presence.

Martyna Benisz

My 1:1 sessions with Hope have truly helped overcome some annoying thoughts which have been haunting me over the past year. Backstory - When I had first moved to BC five years ago, I was the happiest I had ever been. I was on a new adventure and enjoying all the beauty and magic my new home was throwing at me. I was happy, in love with the life I was creating, and just going with the flow. I had built beautiful friendships, a new support system, and many amazing memories. I shrugged off my past and decided not to worry about the future. One could say my mental health was in a great spot and I was living in the present moment. Then came 2020 and the world stopped. It was a bad year for everyone and for me, it brought up weird triggers where I began worrying about my past AND future. Things that had never bothered me became a huge thorn in my side. I was confused all year which led me into a major depressive state. My mind constantly felt foggy and I was experiencing anxiety that I had never felt before. It was so bad at times I couldn't even explain what I was feeling or what I wanted.

This is where Hope came in. She showed me where my blocks were, which made me understand what I needed to do in order to get back into the present moment. A huge takeaway for me has been the three voices within me and learning how to understand them better.

If you are scared and nervous like I was, don’t be. Hope has always held such a safe space for me during our sessions. I have never felt pressured or judged by Hope, only supported and loved. Thank you Hope, you have helped me beyond measure. You have a gift that I am forever grateful for. I am still on my way to where I need to be, and you have given me all the tools I need to step back into awareness and into the present. Thank you for reminding me who I once was and still am.

Annabel Plunkett

I attending the recent event facilitated by the beautiful hope and was blown away. The environment was so welcoming and instantly felt safe. It was so nice to be able to move freely and connect with other amazing women. The breath was beautifully guided and I felt really supported throughout to go at my own pace. The journal prompts helped to me to get creative and made it easy to integrate the evening.
I’m really grateful to have been apart of this space and look forward to coming back again. Thank you so much Hope! You really are gifted!

Dimitra Nikolarakos

Hope’s innate capacity for holding a safe, trauma-informed space in the rhealm of breathwork is unparalleled. Her expertise and facilitation allowed me to powerfully explore my breathe and body in a way that felt much more aligned and growth-oriented than any other breathwork session I’ve ever attented (which often simply lead to a cathartic release that ran the risk of retraumatization). Her presence, invitational language and attentive guidance throughout my experience allowed me to feel deeply and safely connected to my process in a contained and (importantly) choice-driven way. Hope is exceptional in that she offers a breathwork experience that is embodied, safe and ethically-informed.

Mondays are always a big day for me.

When I’m not holding space for my clients, I’m still working full-time coordinating people, companies, and jobs. A lot of people rely on me to keep things moving, so my nervous system can easily stay “on” all day.

That “on” energy what we call sympathetic activation is designed to support us in getting things done. It’s the adrenaline and cortisol that help us focus, plan, and meet deadlines.

But that energy isn’t meant to stay forever. Once the task is complete, your body should naturally shift back into a parasympathetic state where rest, digestion, and repair happen.

That’s why, around midday, I make it part of my self-care to reset my energy. I move some of that charged, sympathetic energy through my body so I don’t stay stuck in go-mode.

It helps me come back to regulation rather than ending the day wired, tense, and unable to switch off.

If you’re still feeling super charged long after the day’s done, your system might just be stuck in “ON mode.”

When that happens… call me 😉😂😘

Looks like you’ve got the wrong address… Self-abandonment doesn’t live here anymore.
Much love ❤️

This morning, in a room full of business owners all managing the pressures of running their businesses and showing up in high-pressure environments — we took a moment to breathe.

Rather than talking about what somatic therapy is, I wanted everyone to feel it.
So we slowed down together and moved through a short breathwork practice — a simple, body-based tool that helps regulate the nervous system and create more space inside.

So often, we try to think our way out of stress. But the body holds the story — and when we bring it into the conversation, something shifts.

That’s what somatic therapy is all about: helping people move from living in a constant pre occupied mind to feeling safe, grounded, and connected again.

Thank you to my BNI chapter for being open to experiencing something different this morning 🤍

Sometimes our brains try to solve feelings instead of feeling them.

If you’ve ever caught yourself twirling your hair, talking to yourself, or pacing while thinking through a problem this is exactly how your system has learnt to keep you safe. Pretty intelligent stuff!

Twirling your hair → a small, repetitive movement that soothes your nervous system, almost like a self-hug. It’s trying to contain nervous energy.

Talking to yourself / ruminating → intellectualizing is your brain’s way of making sense of overwhelming feelings, because thinking feels safer than feeling.

Dissociating / zoning out → when the body can’t regulate fast enough, it may disconnect to protect you from overwhelm.

These actions aren’t “wrong” — they’re survival strategies your body learned. The next step is noticing the feeling in your body, instead of just spinning thoughts.

Pause. Take a slow breath.

Notice where the energy is moving in your body —
maybe your chest, stomach, shoulders, or hands.

Let the hair twirling or self-talk be your starting point then gently shift to sensing instead of solving.

Joy and Play is how the body knows it’s safe again.

It’s how the nervous system says, “we made it through.

Things I’ve learned about embodiment 🤍

It’s not about getting what you want.
It’s about realising that what you want starts as a feeling.
That feeling already lives inside of you it’s just sitting behind the parts of you that learned to protect you from disappointment.

What I’ve learned is that the clearer you get about what you want, the more invitations you’ll be met with Because the clearer you get, the more you’ll have the chance to meet and integrate the parts of you that are still protecting you from that clarity.

And when you decide you want more whether that’s more love, more money, more trust, or a deeper connection to your purpose you’ll always be met with your edges first.
The universe never fights you, it just mirrors you.

God, Source, the Universe whatever you call it,
is really You, without protection.
It’s your higher self showing you what still needs to be felt or integrated before what you’re calling in can fully land.

So if it feels like things are clearing out or not working, remember the residue has to rinse before the water can run clear.

That’s not proof it’s not happening.

That’s proof that it is.

So much of what we call “healing” is really just living.

Being in the moments that stretch you, soften you, and show you where you’ve outgrown old ways of being.

You don’t have to go searching for healing.
You just have to stay in your life.

Because the invitations will come — in resistance, in uncertainty, in love, in loss.

And when they do, you’ll meet parts of yourself that have been waiting to be seen.

Integration happens naturally, through experience.
Through choosing to stay present instead of perfect.

The work isn’t always about going deeper.

Sometimes it’s about simply being here — right now — and trusting that’s enough.

🤍

The part of you that braces and freezes under stress. Your nervous system will finally get the memo: you’re safe now! ✨

Of course you feel tense that’s your nervous system doing its job.

When your system has lived in survival, even small uncertainties feel like big threats.

You don’t have to fight it you can notice it, breathe with it, and teach your body calm is safe.

Place a hand on your belly, take a long breath, and notice: I am safe in this moment.

I spent years wondering why I was drawn to people who weren’t really ready people who cared, but couldn’t meet me where I was.

And for a long time, I thought it meant there was something wrong with me.

But the truth was… I was meeting the parts of myself that weren’t ready.

The parts that believed love had to be earned.

The parts that felt safer in potential than in presence.

The parts that knew how to hold others, but struggled to fully hold myself.

For so long, I confused connection with caretaking both in love and in my work.

Helping others became the way I avoided meeting my own unmet tenderness.

And while it gave me purpose, it also kept me just one step away from my own truth.

The Embodied Woman was born from this realization that healing isn’t about becoming someone new, it’s about coming home to the parts of you that have been trying to earn your worth for far too long.

It’s for the woman who’s tired of chasing potential in others and in herself.

For the woman who wants to feel anchored in her truth, her body, and her boundaries.

For the woman who’s ready to stop proving, and start belonging to herself.

This is the work. This is the becoming.

And I’m walking it too.

The unspoken expectations of being “the therapist.”

There’s this quiet pressure that follows you when your work is helping other people heal.

To be the calm one.

The grounded one.

The one who has already “done the work.”
And when you waver — when your own nervous system feels wobbly or your heart aches — that voice creeps in…

You should be past this by now.
You teach this, remember?

I’ve felt that voice in my own body.
The subtle shame of being human while holding the title of “therapist.”

The fear of not being taken seriously if I show the parts of me that are still finding their way home.
For a while, I tried to fit the mold — neutral, composed, educational.

But truthfully? It made me feel disconnected from myself and the people I actually want to reach.

Because the truth is I don’t want to be the therapist who just tells you how it is.

I want to be the one who shows you what it looks like to live it.

To be in the work. To be in devotion to it.

To be both a guide and a student always evolving, always learning.

Some of the most healing moments I’ve ever experienced weren’t because someone gave me advice.

It was because someone sat with me human to human and said,

“I’ve been there. I get it.”

That’s the kind of space I want to hold.

Not perfect. Not polished.

Just real.

Because embodiment isn’t about having it all figured out
it’s about returning, again and again, to your truth.

Giving Yourself Permission

When was the last time you truly gave yourself permission?

Permission to trust yourself. Permission to follow your instincts. Permission to stop settling.

So often we hold back — waiting for someone else to approve, for the “right moment,” for things to feel safe. And the truth is… that safety doesn’t always exist outside of us. It starts here, inside.

Giving yourself permission might look like:
💛 Choosing curiosity over fear.
💛 Following your desire without guilt.
💛 Trusting that even if things don’t go perfectly, you can handle it.
💛 Saying yes to yourself before anyone else.

Without permission, we get stuck. We wait. We second-guess. We keep repeating patterns that don’t serve us. But the moment you give yourself that green light, everything shifts. You step into ownership, self-trust, and the freedom to create what you really want.

And this is exactly what we’re starting with in Week One of The Embodied Woman — Permission, kicking off Friday, October 24. 🌙

What would giving yourself permission look like for you today?

Have you ever gotten to the edge…

That moment where you know you could take the leap…
But your body just freezes?

You want to trust yourself, to go all in…

But something in you holds back.

Me too👋 Every time I fully trusted and leaned in, it felt like life was showing me reasons why it wasn’t possible for me. Jobs fell through, plans shifted, resources weren’t there.

The narrative becomes, when I embody fully, sometimes the world pushes back to punish me, but because there’s still something my body is holding onto, An imprint from the past, a part of me that hasn’t yet felt fully safe. I stuck in story…

Here’s the thing about story: it doesn’t leave space.
It tells you, “See? You can’t trust yourself. You’ll fail. You’ll be disappointed.”

But what if we paused and got curious instead?

💛 “What is actually happening here? What dynamics are at play that I may not yet see? Where is the capacity I need to create to step fully into what I desire?”

Because when we lean into curiosity instead of story, we stop punishing ourselves.
We stop spinning in old loops.
We start creating space to truly receive what we want.

And this is exactly what giving ourselves permission looks like.
To choose curiosity over fear.
To take ownership of our desires.
To step into alignment even when it feels risky.

This is where we begin in Week One of The Embodied Woman, starting Friday, October 24. 🌙

Use it for you.

That’s what my coach @deannasmithofficial used to say to me. ❤️

It’s when your internal world is clear, but your external world isn’t yet reflecting it back.

When things feel off, delayed, or out of alignment…

You don’t have to get stuck there.

You can use it for you.

The contrast isn’t a roadblock.
It’s a mirror.
An opportunity.
A chance to fall even deeper into alignment with what you’re calling in.

The more you see the “not yet,” the more you can refine, embody, and claim what’s already inside you.

✨ Use it for you. Always.

We don’t actually self-sabotage.

We guard. We protect.

When we say, “I’m sabotaging myself,” what’s usually happening is that a protector part is standing watch over an old wound. It’s running the only strategy it knows to keep us safe — overworking, people pleasing, avoiding, shutting down.

That part doesn’t actually realize there’s a Self here now.

A Self that is steady. Compassionate. Capable of holding the hurt. Capable of choosing something empowering.

So it keeps operating on old programming, thinking it has to do it all alone.

This is why calling it sabotage creates shame — because you’re blaming yourself for something that was never about betrayal, but about protection.

✨ The work isn’t to fight your protectors. It’s to help them feel the presence of your Self. The one who’s calm, curious, and unshakable.

When your protectors can trust that…

Everything softens. Every thing becomes clearer.

🌻 That’s why I created the Protectors Roadmap — a free guide on my website to help you meet your own protectors with compassion, instead of shame.

Lately, life has been pulling things away
and it’s been asking me to stand stronger in myself.

For a long time, I used to take this as proof that I wasn’t enough.
That something was wrong with me.
That I needed someone else’s approval to feel safe.

But here’s what I’m learning:
When the validation goes quiet, something powerful happens.

You start hearing your own voice.
You start backing your own instincts.
You start trusting yourself instead of outsourcing safety to others.

And maybe rejection isn’t rejection at all.
Maybe it’s the moment you stop waiting for someone else to confirm you’re on the right path—
and finally choose to confirm it for yourself.

This is the transition.
Messy. Raw. Sacred.
And deeply empowering.

✨ My 1:1 somatic sessions are open ✨
If you’re ready to meet yourself here—
to stop outsourcing your worth and start trusting your body + your truth—
you can book a free consultation through my website.

Sometimes trusting yourself feels impossible.

I’ve felt it too that freeze, that second-guessing, that “am I really making the right choice?”

What if Doubt isn’t a block but a signal?

A part of you already knows the way you just haven’t tapped into it yet.

In my sessions, we work somatically with your body noticing tension, protective patterns, and the way your nervous system holds you back.

We slow down.

We breathe.

We practice feeling safe in your own body so you can show up for yourself with more trust.

Trust isn’t about knowing the outcome.
It’s about showing up anyway.

Step by step.
Breath by breath.

If you want support building that trust from the inside out, my one-on-one somatic sessions can help.

Message me for a free consultation 💛

If you find yourself saying “yes” when you really want to say “no”…

Take a breath. 💛

That tension, that guilt, that little voice telling you you’re selfish?
It’s not you being broken. It’s your protective system trying to keep you safe even if it keeps you small.

That discomfort is actually a sign of growth. It means you’re learning to honor yourself and your needs.

If you want support stepping out of people-pleasing safely, my one-on-one somatic sessions help you move through shame, meet your protectors, and strengthen your sense of self.

Message me to book your free consultation 💛
And I'll send you the booking link

If things feel like they're crumbling right now…

Congratulations! You’re on the right track. What’s falling away are old beliefs and structures that never truly served you. You’re starting to see clearly, trust yourself, and choose yourself.

I promise, you will get through this, and on the other side, you’ll be thankful it happened.

Always remember: everything happens for us, not to us.

This is a practice in trust — trusting in what you cannot yet see. That’s the work.

Take a deep breath. You are exactly on time, and I am here with you. 💛

A few behind the scenes… it's been awhile.🌸

I journalled this question to myself..

“Why do I always find myself playing the ‘placeholder’ role in my life?”

I’m not going to lie it wasn’t the easiest question to sit with. But it was honest. And sometimes, honesty is exactly what we need to start seeing ourselves clearly.

We sometimes play the placeholder role because part of us believes we’re not allowed to take space, be seen, or fully receive. Maybe it feels safer to shrink, to hold back, to avoid conflict or disappointment.

Sometimes it’s about keeping a connection intact, sometimes it’s about protecting ourselves from feeling “too much.”

It’s not weakness. It’s survival. Old patterns that once kept us safe even if they no longer serve us now.

When you catch yourself shrinking or waiting, pause. Place a hand on the part of your body where you feel it.

Breathe. Ask yourself: “What part of me is ready to step forward? What space am I allowed to claim right now?”

Start small. Speak your truth.
Share your needs.
Say yes to what excites you.
Each time you do, you retrain your nervous system to step fully into the life and presence that’s always been yours.

✨ Internalised Self-Blame ✨

Have you ever caught yourself thinking:
“Maybe I ruined it.”
“Maybe I’m too much.”
“Maybe it’s my fault.”

Here’s the truth it’s not actually your fault. This is internalised self-blame, a protective strategy your nervous system built to survive. Somewhere along the way, it felt safer to believe “I caused this” than to face the pain of disconnection or rejection.

💡 Try this next time it shows up:
1. Place a hand on where you feel the heaviness.
2. Take a slow breath.
3. Ask yourself:
“Is what I’m telling myself actually true? Am I only holding what is mine to hold, and gently letting go of what isn’t?”

You don’t have to fix it. Just noticing it and bringing awareness to your body already begins to loosen its grip.

🎉 The Embodied Woman Class Arrives – October 24th

For the woman who

✨ Doesn’t wait to be chosen

✨ Wants to embody her desires before proof appears

✨ Is ready to meet her protectors and claim her boundaries

✨ Chooses herself first, fully and unapologetically

This is your invitation to step into your power, presence, and the life you’ve been dreaming of. 💛

📩 Comment SELF-DEVOTION to secure your spot

Your body is speaking to you. Place your hand on your heart, another on your belly. Take three slow breaths, feeling the rise and fall.

Name the sensation: ‘That’s anxiety.’ Naming it actually helps your nervous system shift.

Notice where in your body the sensation is strongest. Breathe into that space. You don’t have to fix it or push it away just feel it.

Say to yourself:
‘I see you. I feel you. You are safe.’

Now gently scan your body. Where can you soften? Where can you release tension? Even a small shift matters.

Take a slow breath and ask yourself
‘What might this sensation be trying to show me about what I need right now?’

Keep breathing, slowly, letting each exhale ground you a little more.

This is your body speaking you don’t have to control it, just listen. And every time you do, you’re teaching your nervous system it’s safe to be felt.

🌸 Your Portal to the Future You 🌸

This space is for the women who are ready to practice their desires before they appear. A place where you step into the energy of your vision, even when the world around you hasn’t caught up yet.

Here, we embody our future selves:
✨ Trust before proof.
✨ Feel the life you’re creating, even when your outside world reflects something different.
✨ Move from “I need to see it to believe it” to “I embody her now, so she gets to be.”

We focus on energy, vision, and alignment, not attachment to outcomes. We cultivate self-trust in a world that rarely encourages it, and we practice becoming first, so the world can mirror back what we choose for ourselves.

This is your space to step fully into your power, your presence, and your desires without waiting, without permission, without compromise.

The Embodied Woman

She moves through the world like it remembers her
a rhythm older than her own breath,
a memory stitched into the curve of her spine.

She has lived lifetimes
in the quiet corners of kitchens,
in the thunder of boardrooms,
in the hush of lovers’ rooms.
She carries them lightly,
yet their weight shapes her presence
like wind shaping stone.

Her laughter is a map
to the freedom she dared to claim,
her silence a cathedral
where even ghosts kneel in awe.

She trusts the pulse beneath her ribs,
the wisdom in her own pulse,
the fire that blinks awake
when the world demands she dim it.

She is the storm, and she is the sea,
the fierce clarity of dawn,
the patient knowing of dusk.

No one grants her permission.
No one chooses her worth.
She invents it, daily,
like a spell, like a ritual,
like a quiet declaration
that she is enough—
always, and already.

She gathers the fragments of herself
from every disappointment,
every triumph,
every love that taught her what not to carry,
and builds a throne
of flesh and bone,
of courage and tenderness,
of desire and devotion.

She is the woman who rises
before the world asks her to,
the woman who claims herself
before the world demands it.

And in her wake,
she leaves the echo of possibility,
the quiet certainty
that to embody oneself
is to rewrite the rules
of what it means
to be alive.

❤️Hope

🌸 Introducing the First Series of The Embodied Woman: Love & Self-Devotion 🌸

Even after years of personal growth and supporting others in their relationships, I notice patterns still showing up in connections. Falling in love can bring up old fears, over-giving, merging with a partner, or losing sight of yourself and I know I’m not alone in that.

This first series is for the women who:

✨ Find themselves repeatedly connecting with people who aren’t in the same place emotionally or in life as they are.

✨ Want love but feel worried past patterns will repeat.

✨ Notice they lose themselves in relationships or put someone else’s dreams before their own.

Over the next four weeks, we’ll work together to:
💛 Anchor into self-acceptance and self-devotion.

💛 Become emotionally embodied in your own worth, desires, and boundaries.

💛 Learn how to remain grounded in yourself, regardless of who comes into your life.

The first class is a taster on Sunday, 28 September, all about self-acceptance, setting the tone for the weeks ahead. You don’t have to commit to the full series you can come to the first class, see how it feels, and then decide if you’d like to continue.

This is about creating a space where your life, your dreams, and your heart come first and love becomes a reflection of the wholeness you’ve already built within yourself.

📩 COMMENT SELF DEVOTION to express your interest and begin your journey of self-anchoring in love.

✨ For the woman who’s ever felt replaced ✨

Have you ever felt like you were replaced?

Like no matter what you gave, it was never enough to be fully chosen?

Like someone else just had that “something” you thought you were missing?

💔 That ache runs deep. It touches the little girl inside who just wanted to be loved for exactly who she was. And it convinces us that our worth depends on someone else’s gaze, someone else’s choice, someone else’s attention.

But here’s the truth… you can’t ever be replaced in your own life.

The only way we feel replaced is when we’ve outsourced our power when we’ve forgotten to choose ourselves first.

🌹 The Embodied Woman is the woman who stops waiting to be picked.

She becomes the one who chooses herself.

She’s the woman who says:

“I am already enough. I am already worthy. And no one can take that from me.”

And when you step into that energy, suddenly everything changes relationships, money, opportunities they stop feeling like they can slip away, because you’ve anchored into something no one else can touch: you.

This class is where we practice that moving it from concept into your body, so you don’t just know it… you become it.

💫 You are not replaceable. You are the one you’ve been waiting for.

Have you ever put something on, looked in the mirror, and instantly wanted to cover up?

Something most people don’t know about me is that overcoming body dysmorphia has been a big part of my journey.

This morning I got dressed wanting to feel confident. But when I looked in the mirror, all I could see was my belly not as flat as it “should” be, my bum not as toned as it “should” be. So I put on a cardigan to cover those parts.

Walking into the café, I noticed people looking at me. And my first thought was

“Oh no… they can see what I can see.”

But then I stopped.
See what?
My belly? My bum?
Or my beauty, my energy, my presence?

And when I softened into it, I remembered what I do love about those parts

My belly has held me through every breath, every laugh, every meal, every deep gut instinct.

My bum has carried me through years of movement, dance, walking, running, sitting, living.

The very parts I’ve criticized the most have also held me the most.

That’s the practice for me right now.
Not asking, “How do I hide this part of me?”
But asking, “How can I see the beauty in all of me?”

Because body acceptance isn’t about instantly loving every inch it’s about softening the judgement, meeting myself with gratitude, and letting my wholeness be seen.

✨ In The Embodied Woman class, this is exactly what we practice dropping the judgement and coming home to our bodies through breath, movement, and presence.

It’s time to step into the woman who already holds her own power, clarity, and confidence.

Here’s the thing…

So often, we give our energy away. We wait for the world, other people, or external circumstances to tell us we’re enough, safe, or worthy. And sometimes, we don’t even realise we’ve been doing it until we feel stuck, disconnected, or small in ways that don’t make sense.

The Embodied Woman Class isn’t about checking boxes or “resetting” yourself. It’s about anchoring into the fullness that’s already inside of you reclaiming your body, your presence, and your permission to feel and express everything you are.

✨ It’s for the woman who wants to feel her confidence in her body, her clarity in her choices, and her freedom in her expression.

✨ It’s for the woman who wants to move, breathe, and feel in ways that shift her internal world so her external world naturally shifts too.

✨ It’s for the woman who’s ready to hold space for herself first, so she can stop outsourcing her worth, her safety, her guidance, to anyone else.

When you leave, you won’t just feel lighter. You’ll feel clearer. Rooted. Empowered. Seen. Heard. And equipped with simple tools you can take into your day to continue embodying yourself fully.

This isn’t a “reset.” This isn’t a quick fix. This is a sanctuary. A practice. A return to yourself in a way that transforms the way you move through the world.

✨ The Art of Non-Attachment ✨

One of the core practices we cultivate as embodied women is learning the art of non-attachment. And no, it doesn’t mean giving up on your vision or desires it’s actually the opposite. It’s about holding a clear vision for your life while staying open and flexible to how it unfolds.

So often, we cling tightly to what we see or think we want because we’ve been conditioned to believe that only what is visible is real. And when things don’t turn out the way we hoped, whether it’s a job, a relationship, or an opportunity, our natural reaction is to feel loss, disappointment, or even fear.

✨ For those of you who want to explore this deeper, the Embodied Woman classes are starting 📍Sunday 29 September at the @house_ofhoneys_
6-7.30pm

Please send me a message with your email if you’re interested so I can send you all the information. ✨

Non-attachment asks us to pause and say: “Okay, that didn’t work out… but maybe it’s because there’s something even better aligned for me.” It’s the practice of trusting your vision, trusting yourself, and trusting that what is meant for you will show up in the right way and at the right time.

The hard part? It asks us to look within. Are there parts of us that don’t fully trust we deserve what we want? Are we holding onto old patterns that attract unavailable energy, reinforcing the belief that we’re not enough or that someone else is better?

Non-attachment is about releasing the tension of having to see it now while continuing to honor the truth of what you desire. It’s saying yes to yourself, yes to your dreams, and yes to the unfolding of life even when it’s not exactly as you imagined.

Because when we release what doesn’t serve us, we make space for what truly does.

✨ The Embodied Woman ✨

For so long, we’ve been taught to wait.
Wait until the relationship comes.
Wait until the money lands.
Wait until the career blossoms.
Wait until someone else finally chooses us.

And only then we allow ourselves to feel grateful, abundant, confident, worthy.

But here’s the truth: waiting is what keeps us stuck.

The woman you want to become she doesn’t arrive when the external pieces fall into place. She arrives the moment you give yourself permission to feel whole now. To soften into self-acceptance. To release the shame of wanting more.

This is the heart of The Embodied Woman.

💫 Permission to feel your desires without apology.

💫 Embodiment of the woman you’re becoming through your body, your breath, your energy.

💫 Clear Vision of the life that truly belongs to you and the courage to walk it.

When you stop waiting for proof and start becoming the woman who already knows she’s worthy your relationships, your purpose, your finances, your health they begin to shift in response.

Because wholeness is magnetic.

This is not about bypassing, pretending, or slapping positivity over your pain. It’s about meeting yourself fully, holding both the grief and the gratitude, and choosing to move as the woman who knows what she’s here for.

✨ Imagine if you stopped asking “what if it doesn’t happen?” and instead asked
“What if I let myself feel it now?”

This first class is about Self-Acceptance as Permission.
Because until we soften the critic, release self-blame, and come home to our own hearts, we’ll always be waiting.

But you don’t have to wait anymore.

When we say “self-acceptance,” what do we actually mean?

For so many of us, it’s been framed as settling or quietly tolerating ourselves. But what if self-acceptance was actually..

Seeing ourselves and our desires clearly, without hiding.

Stepping into the life we want, even when it scares us.

Leaning into the parts of ourselves we don’t fully understand yet.

Softening towards the places we’re still learning about.

Giving ourselves the love, support, and space we’ve been craving.

When we accept ourselves fully, we are giving ourselves permission

✨ To feel everything without judgment.

✨ To explore what’s possible in our relationships, our work, and our creativity.

✨ To move with more embodiment to let life move through us instead of against us.

✨ To step into our clear vision seeing the path that truly belongs to us.

So today, 😍

💛 What part of you are you willing to let in?

💛 What permission are you willing to give yourself right now?

Embodiment isn’t about pretending.

It’s not about denying your vulnerability, or bypassing what feels tender.

Embodiment is about being with what’s real the shakiness, the fear, the softness, the power. It’s about learning to hold it all inside your body without needing to fix, hide, or run away.

To express yourself fully. To let the messy and the magical co-exist. To take up space without waiting for the “perfect” version of you.

To feel the ground beneath you when life feels uncertain. To let your breath remind you that you’re safe enough to take the next step. To allow your vulnerability to sit beside your strength instead of being at war with it.

To see yourself without the distortion of fear, shame, or old stories. To remember that becoming more of who you are has always been the path forward.

Because when we embody, we don’t abandon ourselves.
We come closer. We listen deeper.
We let who we are be felt, fully.

Embodiment is not about becoming someone else.
It’s about becoming more of yourself.

And here’s the piece we often forget: embodiment is also stepping into the dream of who you already see yourself as.

Every time you lie in bed at night and imagine the woman you wish you could be — the one who feels free, grounded, unapologetic, alive — that vision isn’t random. It’s your body pointing you toward what’s possible.

You don’t have to just dream about her.
You can embody her.
Live her.
Feel safe as her.

Because the highest version of you isn’t a fantasy she’s waiting for you in the here and now.

Beneath every protective part is a story. Beneath the story is a child who only ever wanted safety, love, and belonging.

Your protective parts (the anxious warrior, the self-shamer, the overthinker, the people-pleaser…) all sit on top of a story.

That story was never the truth — it was your nervous system’s way of gaining control:
✨ “If I keep everyone happy, I’ll belong.”
✨ “If I don’t speak up, I won’t be rejected.”
✨ “If I overthink it, I can avoid failure.”

But beneath that story is a younger part of you — the one who carried the pain, who formed a limiting belief to make explain and make sense of it, and who just wanted love and safety.

When we don’t slow down to meet those parts, we end up living from protection instead of possibility.

⚡ Permission feels out of reach.
⚡ Our vision gets clouded.
⚡ Embodiment feels impossible.

But when we learn to listen to the story and care for the child underneath it we step into a regulated nervous system, a clear vision, and the permission to embody our lives fully. ✨

This is the heart of the Back Pocket Coach 🌻 (coming soon).🔥🌸

Ever notice how scary it can feel to just… be yourself?

To say what you mean. Share what you feel. Express yourself fully.

That fear didn’t start with who you are now.
It began when a younger part of you learned self-expression wasn’t always safe.

When expression was met with criticism, rejection, or shame in childhood, the mind creates a belief to explain the pain

💔It’s not safe to be seen as I am.
💔If I’m imperfect, I’ll be judged or abandoned.

These beliefs became unconscious “truths” shaping how we move through life.

What Happens as Adults🧐

When a moment calls for full expression sharing your opinion, showing your art, taking up space the nervous system remembers the danger and activates protective parts

🧐The Overthinker – What if I say the wrong thing?

🤯The Anxious Worrier – What if they judge me?

😵The Inner Critic – You’re not ready yet. Stay small.

Our protective parts are so intelligent and so clever! 😁

They’re here to protect the younger part of you who still believes expression isn’t safe AND. Doesn't know that we aren't still that age, that we are grown now.

Thats the most beautiful part about this work...

Permission begins with meeting that part softly, compassionately and gently inviting it to feel what out little bodies couldn't process at that time and createing space to choose again.

You decide when It’s safe to be seen now.

When safety returns, expression flows naturally.

Does this land for you?
Which protective part feels most familiar when you want to express yourself?

A Few Truths About Me 🌻

There are a few truths about me that most people don’t see…

✨ Responsibility has felt like a double-edged sword.
When we’re forced to grow up too fast, responsibility as an adult can feel like losing freedom instead of finding it. We unconsciously fight for the little us who never got to experience that fully.

✨ Consistency has felt like a pressure cooker.
If we receive the message that it’s our job to keep others happy and meet expectations, as adults we fear letting people down on days we don’t feel fully “on.”

✨ Money has felt heavy with shame.
As a child, spending on myself felt like a burden, and I carried the belief into adulthood that having wants and needs made me “bad

✨ Clarity hasn’t always been obvious.
I’ve doubted myself when it didn’t show up, hiding in what felt like confusion. Confusion isn’t confusion at all it’s a protective strategy keeping me from seeing the clarity that’s already there.

✨ Love has mirrored where I wasn’t fully available to myself.
Parts of me feared that real commitment might cost me my identity and sense of self, even while I craved deep connection.

✨ Permission has felt out of reach.
When we receive the message that our voice and choices have to be approved before they’re allowed, we learn to wait for permission. True permission comes from within it’s about giving yourself the green light to show up fully, trust your instincts, and own your voice, even when it feels new or uncomfortable.

✨ Pain has made me hide.
Somewhere inside, I believed I had to process it alone so I wouldn’t be “too much” for others.

SIDE NOTE: I’m holding an Embodied Woman Class at the end of September where we will explore the power of CLARITY, PERMISSION & FREEDOM.

Here’s what I’ve learned 🧲👁️

These patterns aren’t who we are—they’re protective responses. When we meet them with curiosity instead of shame, we create room to choose something different.

So let me ask you…
Where might you be hiding behind old beliefs, and what could open up if you didn’t have to?

What if the secret to creating what you want… is feeling it before it arrives?

This morning, I called in clarity for my next offer and BOY does it feel JUICY!!!

When I imagine what that feels like I feel excited. Joyful. Aligned.

Joe Dispenza teaches us
Don’t wait for the thing to happen to feel the emotion.
Feel the emotion and the thing will follow.

So today, ask yourself

What am I calling in? And what does it feel like to have it now?

Then breathe it in. Move through your day from that state.

Your body already knows the way…

Ps.. Little clue to what’s coming lives within this reel 😁 Can you guess???

When was the last time you looked in the mirror and truly saw yourself without judgment?

Sometimes we hide from our reflection not because we aren’t enough, but because we’ve been taught to dim our energy to shrink ourselves.

Today, I invite you to see yourself fully, beyond the stories you’ve been carrying.

Your clarity is your power.

Imagine seeing yourself so clearly that un healthy self judgment has nowhere to hide.❤️

When shame. guilt and the urge to Self abandon can MOVE through you as you hold it with deep compassion, creating a space for deep self-knowing.🫠

Most of us only see ourselves clearly in parts of life.
Maybe we’re bold in our business but small in our love life.
Or expressive at home but quiet in a room full of strangers.

Why?
Because somewhere inside, we’re still scanning the world for where it feels safe to be fully us.
We categorise our expression
“This part of me is okay here… but not there.”

True clarity isn’t about only seeing the shiny, polished pieces of ourselves.

It’s seeing all of us patterns, fears, desires and meeting them with curiosity, compassion, and courage.

Grounded confidence isn’t necessarily the loudest person in the room.
It’s the one who knows who they are in every room.

Unapologetic. Rooted. Free.

When we see ourselves this clearly, we don’t just live we become magnetic to the life we truly desire to create for ourselves. 🧲

Felt Light as a feather after that. 👌🔥

I’ve noticed a pattern about myself..

I’m terrible at regulating my own emotions sometimes.

It’s scary. Intimidating. Frustrating.

It feels like my feelings are bigger than me, like they might swallow me whole.

Like my mind is screaming for answers that don’t exist.

And that’s okay.
We can’t always do it alone.
We weren’t meant to.

Sometimes what we need isn’t a fix, it’s a witness.
Someone (or something – your breath, your body, your movement) to hold us while the storm passes.

It’s in that space the scary, raw, overwhelming space that we begin to feel ourselves.
That’s where clarity and presence start to grow.

I remember a time I had vision but no foundation.

I knew what I wanted, but in every high-pressure moment, my self-doubt would take over.

Instead of feeling grounded in my “yes,” I’d spiral into stories like…

💭 I’m not ready yet.

💭 What if I fail?

💭 Someone else could do it better.

The truth is, vision on its own isn’t enough.

When self-esteem is missing, pressure collapses vision every single time.

But when self-esteem is anchored, vision has something to stand on.

That’s where embodiment happens.

That’s where confidence feels less like a performance and more like a truth that lives in your body.

Wanna know why!? 😂 Because…

✨ Vision without self-esteem has no direction.

✨ Self-esteem without vision has no legs.

Together, they create the magnetic presence we’re all searching for.

Without vision, self-esteem has no direction.

Without self-esteem, vision collapses under pressure.

With both, embodiment happens Magnetically.

The paradox of being a practitioner, creator, and human all at once…

I empower, guide, and show up but some times my inner critic and fluctuating self-esteem mean my foundation sometimes feels shaky.

I’ve decided that doesn’t make my work or presence any less it makes me relatable, alive, and real.

Follow for more. 💛✨

Drowning out my Inner mean girl tonight. 😂😎
