Resources

if you’re not able to seek 1:1 therapeutic support at this time but feel the need for some support, I use this page as non-exhaustive list of books, podcasts & networks I have found supportive in my psycho-somatic education and journey.

You’ll also find some videos below featuring some of my teachers and mentors, contextualising the work that I do.
