Your authentic voice is not just what you say, it's how
you express the fullness of you!
Midlife has its challenges, but nurturing a relationship of love with yourself through a deeper connection to your whole body, helps you to discover a voice that not only empowers you to be the woman you are designed to be, it sends a clear message to the future generations of women - YES, midlife women are wise, relevant and beautiful in their true expression.

The'Why'...

 

I’m passionate about supporting women, like you, who have dedicated the last 20-odd years to raising, nurturing, arbitrating, counseling, serving and educating within your family whilst being dedicated to your career, to step into this midlife chapter of life with purpose, love and joy.

 

I was 51 when the kids left home and my husband and I decided to change our lives radically by moving to Spain. 

The intense sadness, emptiness and echoing chasm of unanswered life questions that I had been feeling for the last few years had led me into a drive to create a new life in more ways than one, and I remember feeling anxious and plagued by countless hot flushes. I avoided intimacy and felt quite lonely. My way around these uncomfortable feelings was to push myself quite hard and almost isolate myself in my work but then work dried up and I had nowhere to go...

 

The Covid pandemic meant a slump in work as well as being in close proximity to my husband and having nowhere to go. Supported by an excellent mentor/coach, I began to wonder what I was avoiding and started observing my behaviours and reactions. I connected to an intimacy within myself that eventually I could share with my partner. 

 

The result was realisation after realisation about what I had been hiding from and how it affected my relationship with myself and consequently, that with my partner.

 

The intimacy and love that is always one breath away, is the marker of how you express yourself in any relationship. Its reflection always shines right back at you tenfold.

Behind The I .U. C....💕

 

I’m a woman in my late 50’s, a wife of 34 years and a mother of two gorgeous daughters. I’ve worn many hats such as language teacher, HR manager, company director, singer-songwriter, voice coach, naturopath and somatic coach, but would any of those roles truly describe me? 

​

Is anything we do, or are any of the roles we take on, really who we are?

​

I believe that you and I are so much more, and it’s a tragedy that life becomes about what we do and how well we do it rather than feeling the wealth of beauty and wisdom that resides in each one of us.​

​​

​I love a purposeful life, service and people! I seem to get more joyful as I age. I've learned that emphasis on needing to be rather than just being, leads to effort and an entitlement to reward that plays out in poor lifestyle habits. I'm a Ninja in self-discipline but with no emphasis on outcome - only purpose. I love commitment to life and attending to the challenges of life with vivaciousness and an empowered absoluteness. I also love expressing myself through music and songs and continue to write and produce healing music for my clients.

 

I find that anxiety, self doubt, overwhelm or excess emotions are all part of one multi-flavoured ice cream that seems sweet and enticing but is devoid of nutritional value. I'm a veggie lover and dramas, with their resulting exhaustion and hooking nature, are off the menu.
I look at the stars and feel humble that everything is turning in cycles regardless of my perceptions, opinions and beliefs. I'm not in control and it's a waste of energy to push against the flow of a river, yet when one surrenders to its movement, the universe provides such undreamable magic. It's not always what I expect but if I get my expectations and hopes out of the way, I am a humble witness to its beauty.  

​

But...

When I’m feeling less, doubting myself, feeling hurt or overwhelmed...

 

I’ll be driving myself effortfully towards some kind of non-existent perfection with the ‘hope’ that I’ll get a reward for all the s**t I’m putting up with.

I go to the fridge in search of a glucose spike to relieve the drudgery when I feel everything is ‘too much’, and then I get into a cycle of not sleeping well and feeling exhausted during the day. 

 

Sound familiar?

There's a wealth of universal wisdom and intelligence just one movement and moment away and being in full conscious presence supports you to focus on that and not on the nails in the road that your mind is throwing in front of you.

 

I have often witnessed how beautifully my body can move in gentleness and how this changes the thoughts I have. Tension, stress, overwhelm or anxiety always come sandwiched between hard movements - it's hard to tell which came first! 

​

My voice also moves - it can move in gentleness and express love but it can also bark, order, confront, manipulate and a whole range of expressions depending on what I'm aligning to. The beautiful thing about the voice is that it's used a lot during a typical day so it's a great tool to stay consciously focused on the body more often and to observe reactions that repeat themselves to our detriment.

​Health is a gift but living healthily is a choice. Love yourself and nurture your body and you will feel amazing.
