I've spent years in somatic and body-based work, and what keeps pulling me deeper into de-armouring specifically is watching people meet parts of themselves they've held at arm's length for a long time. The tension, grief, and pleasure all stored in the body rather than talked through. There's something genuine about this work. It doesn't ask people to explain themselves, just to feel it and discover what's actually there.

Expect a conversation before anything else. I want to know what brought you here, what you're hoping to open up or understand, and what would make you feel safe enough to really settle into your body. There's no script and no pressure to have the "right" answers. I'll explain how sessions work, answer whatever questions you have, and we'll figure out together whether this is a good fit.

I'd say steadiness is the biggest one. I don't rattle easily, and that helps people relax into whatever comes up for them. I'm a careful listener, both to words and to what's happening underneath them. I also bring warmth and a good sense of humour; this work can be intense, and lightness has its place too

Consent, above everything. Not just at the start, but continuously. Checking in, reading cues, and making space for someone to pause or say no without it derailing anything. My job isn't to push someone toward a breakthrough; it's to help them feel safe enough that their body can do what it needs to do, at its own pace.
