About Joy in Movement
Joy in Movement is about exploring the mind-body connection, connecting with nature and self, and finding peace.
Through Somatic explorations, nature immersions such as Forest Bathing walks, and my latest offering of a physical exercise class, Essentrics®️, I aim to help bring about deeper awareness of and love for our human bodies.
By giving yourself time to explore your own body-mind connection in these various ways of moving through the world, you will gain a deeper sense of joy and peace in your day-to-day life.
The story of Joy in Movement
I spent ten years at a desk in London, gradually losing touch with my own body and important relationships without quite realising it was happening. The journey back — through Schumacher College, through somatic training, through the mountains and rivers of New Hampshire — became the foundation of Joy in Movement.
My MA thesis argued that sensing, feeling, and intuiting are not peripheral to wellbeing but central to it, and that our relationship with our own bodies and with the natural world are, at root, the same relationship. That is still what I believe, and it is what I teach.
