Myths Of Exercise Summit October 4-10

Come and join me to experience some of the most respected teachers of the Feldenkrais Method in one place, which will challenge how you think and approach exercise.

This summit matters to me because it allowed me to recover from a whiplash injury in a car accident after trying all the conventional therapies with limited relief.

I am looking forward to Day 4 on Chrish Kresge’s session, Do Less, Move Better: What Feldenkrais Can Teach Us About Exercise, which will make you question how you move is just as important as what you do.

“Maybe this is just how it is now…”

When you’ve lived with neck and shoulder pain for a long time, it’s easy to start believing that pain is simply part of getting older.

Gradually, you may do less of the things you enjoy, like walking, gardening, and travelling and begin to lose trust in your body.
But age doesn’t mean you have to give up on possibility. 🌱

I work with the nervous system through slow, gentle movement to find easier, more comfortable ways to move.

Sometimes hope begins with one small moment when something feels easier, and you think:
“Maybe change IS still possible for me.”

If you’re ready to explore what moving with more ease could feel like, send me a message and let's talk 💬

“I thought pain was just part of getting older.”

Perhaps you’ve started accepting the stiff back in the morning, the aching hip on a walk, or the neck and shoulders that complain after sitting too long at a computer or in general.
But underneath that acceptance, there may be another feeling…
I want to feel like me again.

So what would it be like to walk without thinking about my hip;
to turn and look behind me without worrying about my neck.
To garden, travel, play sport, get down on the floor with the grandchildren, but more importantly to be able to get back up again!

Feeling youthful isn’t about trying to be 30 again!
For me, healthy ageing is about keeping possibilities alive and helping your body discover easier, more comfortable ways to move using slow movements with awareness for change.

Remember, your age doesn’t necessarily decide what is possible.
Sometimes the first change begins when you stop asking, “Is this just ageing?”
And begin asking…
“What might still be possible for me?”
Ageing doesn’t have to mean giving up on what you love.

🌿If you’re curious about what might still be possible for you, send me a DM and let’s have a conversation.

“Maybe this is just part of getting older…”

I hear this thought so often in conversation from people over 50 who have started to accept back pain, stiffness, and discomfort as something they simply must live with.

They tell themselves, “I’m getting older, so this is normal now.”
But it is not; there is another possibility. ✨
What if your back pain has simply become a habit of moving, holding, and protecting yourself from injury that no longer serves you?

I work with people who want to sit comfortably at their computer, get in and out of the car with more ease, return to the practical activities they love, and feel more confident in their movements.
Through gentle awareness and movement, we can help your nervous system discover new choices for movement.

Ageing does not have to mean losing your freedom to move.
There is always the possibility of learning something new.
If you are ready to explore a different way of moving, I would love to support you so feel free to contact me.

I see so many women over 50 carrying more than just back pain… they’re carrying the belief that it can’t change.

They tell me, “I thought by now I’d feel free… lighter… doing more of what I love.”
Instead, there’s stiffness in the morning or that dull ache that never quite leaves, and a quiet frustration that whispers, “Maybe this is just how it is now.”
But here’s what I’ve learned through my work…

That pain isn’t just physical. It’s often a reflection of how we’ve been living, pushing, striving, holding ourselves tight to meet expectations because we’ve been taught that effort must be hard to be worthwhile.
So we override the body and ignore the warning signals.
And slowly… we lose that sense of ease.

What if there is another way?
In my work, I guide you to slow down, to listen, sense, and feel again.
to rediscover how your body is designed to move with support, with balance, with freedom.
And something happens, a shift takes place.
Your back begins to soften. Movement feels lighter.
And those held beliefs begin to change. They don’t feel so far away anymore.

You’re not stuck. Your body is simply waiting to be heard.
👉 If this resonates, I’d love to hear from you 🌿

I remember a time when I believed that to feel strong, I had to push through discomfort to try harder, do more, and ignore what my body was quietly telling me.🌿
Many of the women I work with now share this same belief.

They have dreams to travel, to walk freely, to enjoy life without constantly thinking about their back.

Yet each morning begins with stiffness, with simple movements being difficult and that underlying ache that never quite goes away..
They become cautious.

They question themselves, “Will my back cope?”
And little by little, they stop doing the things that once they enjoyed.
What I’ve come to understand is this…
It’s not a lack of strength that keeps us stuck.
It’s how we are using ourselves.

Through my work, I gently guide you to slow down, to sense and feel how you move.
To discover a different kind of strength one that comes from support, not strain.

And from here, something begins to change.
Your back feels lighter.
Movement becomes easier.
And those dreams start to feel possible again.
Because when you trust your body, you begin to trust your life again.
