My Offering

For most performers, artists and creatives our work is a calling. A dedicated and passionate pursuit of creativity, discovery and refinement- the honing of oneself and our art. A joy more often then not but also demanding; physically, mentally and emotionally. For many our body is our work, our tool and our expression. How then can we look after it?

Despite best intentions I have seen and experienced first hand, how easy and often unnoticed we can push our bodies and creativity to a point of exhaustion and overwhelm. It can be a tricky space to navigate- a careful balance of energy in and energy out, pursuit and nourishment. The latter I find can often go overlooked, something to come back to when things start to go awry. When we burn out?

Having walked the path of ‘pushing through’, ‘resilience’, ‘drive’, ’I’ll rest when…’ and  ‘this is just how it is,’ I now invite another paradigm.

What if we see the care of our body, mind and being as an integral part of our artistic practice? A deep dive into understanding ourself, as individuals and as creatives? In getting to know our body; its tissues, stories, quirks, patterns and processes, we can in turn become more open and available- attuned to its needs and potential. A body & mind that feels connected and intuitive, free to express and create.

Imagine, a dancer knowledgable about the sensuous landscape of their body, able to move and glide freely. An actor so aware of oneself that character choices become limitless and dynamic. A musician or singer that is open and available, a vessel for their music to flow through. An artist with a sharp mind and creative clarity. An individual attuned with oneself; their strengths, personal blocks, insecurities, limiting beliefs and with a toolkit to navigate them. This is an exciting person to work and create with!

A healthy body and settled nervous system is natural intelligence and creativity in motion, at its finest. The buzz of adrenaline can be exciting and seemingly full of energy, however from personal experience it does not last long and can leave us depleted.

I therefore invite you to take time for your body. Begin a conversation. Dive deep, nourish and invest. As a dancer I used to think I knew my body, and in many ways I did. But this work, the slowing down and really tuning in, allowed a deepening and understanding that surpassed my wildest imagination.

To be fully awake and akin with oneself is a potent place to create from

and

something wild and beautiful to behold.

If this offering has pricked your ears or stirred something within you, please reach out to me. I would love to work with you. Coming from a background in the arts I understand the rewards and demands of this work and have experienced first hand how craniosacral therapy can support and deepen your creative practice, artistry and relationship to self.
