Resources
If you’re currently not able to seek 1:1 therapeutic support, but feel the need for some resources, I use this page as non-exhaustive list of books, podcasts, videos, blogs, articles and networks I have found supportive and nourishing in my own healing and psycho-somatic education journey building a holistic therapeutic practice.
Some of the materials are from my favourite teachers and mentors, and contextualise the work that I do.
