About Me
The first time I realised that I felt disconnected from my womb was at a women’s circle. It was the first time I got into contact with the womb yoga practices from Uma Dinsmore-Tuli and I felt an immediacy to remove my copper IUD.
This prompted me to dive deep into women’s health, first natural birth control, then embracing my inner cycles and bleed, physiological birth, supported abortions and yoga therapy for the female body.
I was frustrated that all this knowledge is not more widely taught and I wanted to share what I’ve learned and what helped me immensely.
Body Literacy is the most vital skill I have ever learned. It is listening to and understanding how to read your body. It’s incredible to learn how to read the signs your body gives you, but the most important is turning all this information into embodied knowledge. Meaning actually practising reading your body and feeling into sensations and emotions. Trusting your observations and your knowing of YOUR body and it’s needs.
Forever a student, I continue to read and learn about our incredible female bodies, yoga, spirituality, natural birth control, herbalism, gardening, cyclical living and poetry.
I am based in the Azores, where I work 1-1 with women, sometimes teach yoga classes and tend to my garden.
