Complete and total reverence

Complete and total reverence.

When I sit with you on the table, your legs straddling mine, a deep merging of our energies happens. I ask your permission before I place my hands on your body. Once I have been given consent, I place one hand on your heart and one on your vulva, over blankets.

Usually I can feel an increase of heart rate, some nerves working themselves out. We breathe intentionally together. Sometimes, tears are shed. This can mean any things. Emotional release. Understanding. A sense of safety. Nourishment. Being held, exactly as they are. A readiness. Unfurling. Whatever those feelings are, you’re held.

I then move my hand to their belly. Connection is key, to all places in the body. Again, we breathe together. By this time, the nervous system is generally relaxed. They are able to breathe deeper and more connected to their body.

Then I move down to both hands being on the vulva, over the sheet. My hands will stay here as long as needed. There’s no time limit on removing the armour that needs to come off before we can move forward. I deeply respect your boundaries, your inner knowing.

We can’t move forward and insult your nervous system and expect change. Sometimes women are so deeply desperate to have changes happen that they don’t listen to their body when it says no, I’m not ready.

I’m here to listen. I can feel when your body is saying no. I will love you through that no, and if it means that we aren’t going to do internal work - that is ok what a gift it is to yourself when you’re able to tap into those knowings.

However you need to show up in the world, I’m here to love and support you through this.

This is woman’s work. This is full body care. This is the work that will help to heal our world.

I’m in the process of creating a full day or weekend ceremony for one. A day to truly show up and nourish yourself. Located in a beautiful space, you’ll be fed your favourite most nourishing foods, you’ll receive reiki, steaming, full body sessions, a ritual bath and so much more
