The next Trauma & Resilience
group using Gabor Mate's Compassionate Inquiry begins mid-January 2024..

Created by renowned addiction expert Dr Gabor Mate,  Compassionate Inquiry (CI) seeks to "drill down to the core stories people tell themselves – to get them to see what they are telling themselves unconsciously; what those beliefs are, where they came from; and guide them to the possibility of letting go of those stories, or letting go of the hold those stories have on them" (Gabor Mate) 

​Working with CI practitioners and incorporating a range of  somatic techniques, we will explore in our series of   6 x 90 minute live group therapy sessions your stories and beliefs, and work with the body to move toward healing and insight. 

"The effects of early stress or adverse experiences directly shape both the psychology and the neurobiology of addiction in the brain.” Gabor Mate

If you are feeling stuck in your life,  if you have anxiety or are stressed, if you need to work on repetitive negative patterns, then this group is for you. 

This group will be trying some newer techniques. We will have space for only 12 people. Please register here before Mid November 2023 as there are forms to fill out and possibly an assessment prior to joining the group.

The wonder of TRE®  

Do you have stress, tension, back pain, anxiety? Emotional repetitive patterns that don't shift?

We are too good these days as a species at suppressing emotions, stifling movement, and feeling - and this leads to excess energy being trapped in our bodies.
​
Too much repressed energy - and chronic emotional and physical tension patterns, illness and mental distress are the result.
This can be shifted by activating the body's natural tremor mechanism.

We offer private and group sessions, guiding people to activate their tremor. 
TRE® engenders a sense of calm, helps with sleep, back pain, stiffness, anger, depression,  shifts physical ailments and helps resolve stuck emotional patterns. The uses for TRE® are myriad.
​
Created by Dr David Berceli, TRE®'s  simple series of exercises is designed to activate the body's natural tremor mechanism. 
​​
 "My TRE miracle is that my back pain left on the first session and hasn't returned."

During lockdown, I received a grant from Africalia as part of their Creativity is Life   project to reflect on the response to Covid-19  & to conceive the "world of tomorrow."

Working with, text, collage and artist interviews, I came up with this . Many thanks to Africalia for providing me with this opportunity to focus on creativity and to connect with other imaginative and visionary artists and thinkers.

Watch this space for a series of  views and opinions from wonderful thinkers and do-ers on moving forward, and what is important to shift to create a healthier and more connected "world of tomorrow".

​Refugees Worldwide

​As part of an anthology created by the International Literary Festival, Berlin, I went to Kakuma refugee camp in Northern Kenya to write about the refugee situation there. 
My vision is to continue to document stories from the camps, and to bring TRE®  and relevant somatic trauma relieving practices to such places to help mitigate the great stress of long term existence in the camps - an amalgam of two passions.
