1 - 3 day in person retreats to practice inhabiting new ways of being
We work privately while you grow your new roots and discover your gifts, ready to share them in new relationships. I facilitate the Wheel of Consent and a range of Somatic practices that empower your self-expression and intimate relational decision-making informed by all the different parts of you. We begin by working together online. Once we have gotten to know each other, we will have opportunities to work together in-person either in the UK, Europe, or Kenya depending on the time of year.
Radical Acceptance
Every human being has gifts to share, and these are often grown from where we have suffered the most. When we are witnessed and acknowledged with radical acceptance, trusting spontaneity with our intimate self-expression gains confidence. This is a process of integrating exiled aspects of ourselves, illuminating unthought-knowns using the practice of Body Poem. I guide you step by step into inhabiting new ways of being, updating habitual adaptive versions of yourself that maybe you keep repeating.
With over 35 years of professional clinical practice informed by affective relational neuroscience research and successful outcomes from therapy with me, I have learned to trust these tried-and-tested practices.
I am trained as an Art Psychotherapist, a Wheel of Consent and Right Use of Power facilitator, a Sexological Intimacy Coach and Bodywork Practitioner, a Tantra Teacher, a Sacred Intimate, a Fine Artist, and a Playback Theatre Practitioner with many years of experience with working with entheogens and in Shamanic training. I teach UK and worldwide practitioner training in Sexological Intimacy Coaching, Sexological Bodywork Practitioner, The Wheel of Consent, Right Use of Power, and Body Poem.
Trusting Spontaneity
It can take courage to inhabit our ‘personal power,’ which we can define as our creative self-expression in symbolically representing the many aspects of ourselves with authenticity. It takes even more courage to acknowledge where we may have made agreements that don’t represent the more vulnerable aspects of ourselves that may be hidden in shame. ‘The more you are you, the more of me I can be’ widens the bandwidth of acceptance that secures our belonging.
My aim with this intimacy training is to hold space with the most tender and exuberant aspects of being human. I have the capacity to hold the unspeakable parts of us with deep compassion and humour. My ultimate goal is to help you find the courage to venture under the masks and layers of who you are not, to liberate and release your vulnerable true essence. This is an invitation to discover ways of delivering our gifts like nuts and seeds, fruits and flowers, and all of nature's offers without shame. This might begin with a timid peek-a-boo or in exuberant shameless self-expression as we experiment and play with learning how safe it is ‘to be me’.
In this training and life! I welcome the emotional landscapes of all categorisations of identity ascribed to belonging with radical acceptance and understanding that our personal and role power is influenced by society's systemic power structures that secure or make our belonging insecure.
My mission is to contribute to healing separation by creating accessible step-by-step structures that support trusting to feel more and fear less. The more we tune in with ourselves with kindness and compassion, the more likely we are to be kind to the people and animals around us and less likely to suffer from being commodified and commodifying others without care.
As the founder of Body Poem™ and the Institute of Relational Harmony Studies, I am committed to contributing to ethical professional development. I choreograph and teach professionals the Certificate in Sexological Bodywork Practitioner, Sexological Intimacy Coaching, Somatic Sex Education, and Body Poem.
This work is a political movement of collective power to update the social reality maps of living that I see as a hologram of security that is simultaneously taking humanity out to sea when we are disabled from swimming in the emergence of living. Body Poem is pioneering in facilitating illuminating unthought-knowns and playing creatively with life's decisions, even the seemingly impossible ones like the need for secure reliability at the same time as the need for adventure, trying new ways of being with expansions of consciousness. These pole positions can play a harmony like two ends of a harp string when they don't tune out from each other.
I bring over 35 years of professional clinical practice and research and have honed my expertise in facilitating radical acceptance and integrating exiled aspects of the self. I focus on enhancing trusting spontaneity, empowering personal power, and play to ultimately bring us into service and contribute purposefully to the ecosystems of life.
I am a “Right use of Power” teacher trained with Cedar Barstow www.rightuseofpower.org and have learned the power of acknowledgement, understanding, remorse, repair and learning that can heal the harm and impact we have caused ourselves and others and where others have impacted us. Ultimate freedom can be understood as having repaired our relationships with others and with ourselves from when we found ourselves in separation. Remorse is sometimes the most complex ‘come clean’ to navigate, but we carry heavy burdens without braving this. I am an expert in facilitating this in structured ways that offer freedom with a lighter, warmer heart.

Reflections & Feedback

“All the sex I have had in recent years has not been connected, I sought out fantasies and deviations to try and find that connection … what is happening here feels like many major steps forward”
Simon

“I’m seeing reality from an easier place and its been good to share all that I’ve been holding on to releasing into more space inside. I realise that I can have desire”

“At the end of the session I felt sensual, relaxed, released, relieved, unblocked, and lighter and I am taking away with me a new experience and I have learnt that I can do something different”
Amanda
As your receptivity to feel more increases and you find words that come close to describing what matters to you and you learn to stop overriding these communications, your decision-making can have the benefits of hindsight in each moment.

Body Poem Videos from live sessions.
Body Poem offers a way of illuminating unthought-knowns and trusting in self-organising intelligence when we practise radical acceptance.
Your Body Poem might be the beginning of a session with your arrival or completing a session with where you have been. Here are two live recorded examples that have been made into short films helping us not to forget the wisdom that speaks when we listen in this way.
