Anxiety Relief for Women: Why Somatic Approaches Are the Key You May Have Been Missing
Anxiety has been a companion of mine for many years.
One I have learned to relate to differently, over time - and to develop a gentler relationship with.
I know I’m not alone in this.
So many women, especially as we begin navigating the hormonal shifts of perimenopause, or the identity transitions that come with midlife, find themselves living with an invisible undercurrent of anxiety.
Beneath the surface is a nervous system that is carrying too much activation, and is struggling to find a place to land.
If that’s you and you have tried all the tools, read all the books, but still find yourself struggling to feel more grounded, present, and at ease, I want to offer a different perspective.

Embodied Feminine Leadership: your way of being is a way of leading
As women, we are often conflicted about leadership.
We might want to step up to lead and take a stance for what we believe in, but the current style of leadership that is role modelled to us isn’t always one we are willing to embrace.

The Truth About High Functioning Anxiety - And How It Causes Burnout In High Achieving Woman
High functioning anxiety is a sneaky type of anxiety. It often goes unrecognised, because of its high functioning nature.
On the surface, you appear together, grounded and in control.
You overachieve at work, and are often admired for your hard-work, commitment, and attention to detail.
You have a successful career and seem to have an incredible ability to juggle a high level role with the demands of everyday life.
You seem to 'have it all'.
But it comes at a cost.
The Missing Piece For Women To Feel More Rested, Radiant, and to Embrace Their Fullest Potential
Living ‘in our head’ and feeling disconnected from ourselves
We live in a society that leads us - particularly as women - to be orienting upwards and outwardly.
We spend a lot of time ‘in our heads’ caught up in thinking, planning, strategising, organising, analysing,....
These are really valuable skills, but we have practised them to such an extent that we tend to experience life through our thinking. We think about life, which takes us away from fully living it.
