I am Mary's Granddaughter

This is for you if you have unmet core needs, maladaptive coping mechanisms, trapped survival responses or unprocessed emotions, causing your body to be cranky and unreliable.

My life lived to date has been a jangle of epic happenings , thankfully I had an amazing Grandma, who told me to never accept mistreatment and to never settle.

Here, we can all be Mary's Granddaughter.

My approach to healing:

My Story

Healing means you can manage the stress of life without burnout.I have healed 2 autoimmune disorders using my patented PEMS Hygiene model.

For decades my healing and self-defence journey was a confusing onslaught of mismanaged emotions and intentions. I would make progress and then regress substantially. I was always looking for that one thing that would fix all the things. I had to learn that I needed a multi-systems approach.

I created the PEMS hygiene system to be that multi-directional system that will help you break out of survival mode.

It taught me:

how to create safety in my body.
how to have grace and joy in my life.
how to heal the issues in my tissue.
how to have healthy boundaries.
how to reparent my parentified self.
how to celebrate all the ways somatic sludge shows up.

I judged myself for years by the industry standards of neuro-normative behaviour outputs.

But those standards never really worked for me.

They may not work for you, either.

Let me help you.

Healing and self defence are 2 sides of the same coin. Violence is a reality, not your responsibility. People will trespass all over you with or without ill intent.

I teach you how to override the negativity bias, nervous system 101, how to practice boundaries and why it is crucial to stop self abandoning.

With over 29 years of experience, I will help you move your somatic sludge, hydrate your fascia and strengthen wonky joints. The yoga industry is mostly gross, I get it! But I am committed to showing you that true yoga therapy is a retreat into deeper, healing aspects of yourself.

There are no "Simon Says" robotics taught here, sing song voices telling you to square your hips or unrealistic self defense drills. Through my books, educational content, and classes, my aim is to create a supportive community where girls and boys, men and women can thrive.

It is my expertise on how to break you and fix you, that sets me apart in the industry.

MOVEMENT IS MEDICINE

In this one and done, bi-hacking universe, we need to take more time to create lasting change. Self betrayal is rampant in favour of keeping up appearances when what we most desire is to be seen for who we are, cracks and all. Real world healing is about making little mindset shifts. Repeatedly, continually, over and over again.

Self-discipline is tricky in the beginning. You need someone who has gone before you and done the work so they can illuminate the path for you. You need someone to help you reinforce positive noticing, celebrate your positive traits, notice your positive accomplishments, and witness the things you do well.

80's Di!

Thank Mary and Joseph, present day me takes care of her:)

Oh baby, you've come so far!

When I was growing up:

No one talked about the abuse.
Boundaries were never honoured.
Emotions were shamed, ridiculed, and denied.
No one talked about trauma, dysregulation, or anxiety.
No one modelled how to practice self-defence.
