Why Women Deserve Somatic Approaches That Honour Their Body, Cycles and Lived Experience
I’m often asked why my work centres women.
There are many reasons for this, including my own story, my lived experience, and the women I've had the privilege to accompany on their own beautiful journeys.
But at its core, I deeply care about and believe in women.
I believe that when women heal, grow, take a stance for what they believe in, the world heals in some ways too, and it becomes a little more harmonious.
We touch our families, communities, and work differently. We leave a different legacy - simply by who we are being.
I also know the pain and challenges women carry intimately - and I believe that women deserve to have their experiences taken seriously.
Not pathologised or minimised.
Not squeezed into models that weren't created with us in mind.
Many coaching approaches are based on the assumption of a one size fits all model.
Assuming that what works for one nervous system and one body will work for all.
But women’s bodies aren’t just smaller, more delicate versions of men’s.
Our bodies are influenced by different hormonal rhythms and relational factors. And while each of us experiences these cycles and life stages in unique ways, many women experience nervous system fluctuations that mirror these hormonal shifts.
We are also profoundly shaped by centuries of cultural conditioning, by the expectations we’ve internalised, and by the way the world meets us.
