I believe being integrated, free and authentic matters now more than ever before. Michelangelo, a sculptor, is said to have once remarked that he had only freed David from a block of marble while Jackson Pollock, a painter, noticed: "The painting has a life of its own. I only help it to reveal itself." This is how I see my role as a TBD practitioner of this powerful process: to help participants to reveal who they truly are, connect their inner and outer world and live a life they desire.

The first talking-only session is an opportunity for both the participants and myself to understand what draws them to this process and how I can support them with being more authentic. We may also explore the underlying patterns that keep participants from being their true self. People are welcome to come with any body tension, blockages, hyper or reduced sensitivity, feeling of disconnect, a wish to feel more embodied, re-shape their relationship patterns, expand the capacity for heart-centred choices and/or express their true self in an authentic and integrated way.

After decades of work with breath, sound and movement I have discovered real change only comes from understanding a person behind their story. I have thus become very attentive to any body response nuance. I easily tune into body communication and follow the body's individual pace of process so that it stays safe, present and connected at all times. I bring my own life and professional expertise and a whole integrated body of knowledge to support this personal journey. My approach is grounded yet gentle, deeply human, empathetic and insightful. With my presence, compassion and genuine acceptance I create a safe space for people to open up, feel seen, heard and embraced.

I am passionate about supporting participants to fully empower themselves and actively engage in the process of becoming more authentic. I believe this process to be a partnership. I prioritise trauma-informed safety, I value clear communication, boundaries and make room for heart-centred choices of each participant throughout the sessions.
