Helping People Think Better, Feel Better and Work Better
I developed this practice for myself when I was in the depths of Long Covid and needed a way to sit with my symptoms without trying to fight them. In order to heal I had to learn to let them in and treat them with gentleness and acceptance.
That was the beginning of my self compassion journey.
Over time I developed my painting practice to allow myself to notice; notice how I was feeling, notice my emotions, notice what my crazy, noisy brain was shouting about and allow myself the space to separate from them during that moment. In essence what I was doing was meditating, not in a silence but with movement and in doing so, allowing my nervous system the space to see how safe I was just being me.
This is not therapy, think of this as gentle guidance and co-regulation with people who have been there, found a way out again and want to share that with you.
