‘Recognizing the body as the site of truth, awareness, and transformation in every human experience — especially the ones that challenge us most‘
The Body Knows First MentoringTM locates the heartbeat of every experience in the body. Whether it is a heaviness in the chest that one person labels sadness and another fear, or the hollowing out in the solar plexus that is associated with abandonment or failure, the body is always the first to know.
Too often, we try to think our way out of our painful and difficult life experiences and situations. There is no doubt that the mind has a critical role to play but it can only do this well when it is informed well.
As a result of habit/conditioning, the more painful and pressing our situation, the harder we try to think our way through it, when in fact, these experiences are actually begging for our return to the body as the place where truth – rather than habitual story – is still given.
This work integrates my current research in Philosophy, specifically Phenomenology, as radically and powerfully laid down by philosopher and phenomenologist, Maurice Merleau-Ponty. with my 20 + years teaching, guiding and workshopping in the practices of Mindfulness and Spiritual Awareness.
The Body Knows First MentoringTM is not for everyone. But if you’re interested in the kind of dedicated, highly personalized, transformational depth work drawing on Philosophy (Phenomenology), Meditation, Body-Awareness and Regulation, you might be interested in working with me.
I work with 6 clients a month for a minimum of 6 weeks. Aside from the guidance I offer, there are practices and techniques that you will learn and which you will almost always want to keep using.
If you think that this might be for you, please get in touch by completing this form. If we both decide that we are a good match and I feel I will be genuinely able to help you, we will proceed. If not, I shall let you know of other options that you might pursue.
In the meantime, if you’d like to join my mailing list, please complete this form.
Interested in Mentoring?
EACH MONTH, I work with a small number of people (about 6) in a mentoring capacity. It is highly personalized and uses a body-centred phenomenological (lived experience rather than theoretical) approach and draws on mindfulness and reflective practices.
