Hello & Welcome and thank you for being here 🙏🏻, our lives can be so flooded with emails & social media and many created with A.I, but my content is genuinely created by me with love.
I feel that we give so much of our innate wisdom away, relying on apps, smart watches, we keep ourselves so busy and stimulated, we lose connection with ourselves.
Take a moment here to pause, just notice You in this moment, feel into how you are sitting, your breath, it’s rhythm, pace, depth. Feel into how you feel in this moment, where you hold tension and where you have ease. Where you feel space or contracted. Just notice, no judgment, nothing to fix, just a state of “being". Can you be in the moment with you for just a minute? And if not, what truly is so much more important than you?
I was thinking this yesterday after teaching the second part of my Foundations course.
I see people who have pain, years of discomfort and tension, but find prioritising self care a challenge, I question, what is more important than our health and wellbeing? What are we valuing more so than ourselves? What is more important than You? Now and your future you?
I’m not saying this from a “I have it all figured out” perspective, far, far from it. I’ve lost hours thanks to Instagram and even more to TV, it’s just yesterday it really hit me, “what could be so much more important than our personal wellbeing?” And yes, I love a bit of TV for enjoyment and yet I also know I have a gold star in self sabotage at times. It’s not just TV though and social media, I can feel the pressure from my work (which is even more hilarious since I work for myself!!!) or being asked to do something v’s time for self care at the cost of over-ridding what’s most supportive for me, so recently, I have started to ask myself this “What will give me the most peace and a sense of space?” I feel into this, I sense what I need and make my choices from there.
““What will give me the most peace and a sense of space?””
I’d love to know if any of this resonates with you and if that question helps you in anyway?

Student Testimonial
Thank you Barbara for sharing how she benefits from her Somatics practice.
““ Almost 8 years ago I discovered Somatics. Struggling with lower back pain (an old injury aggravated by changing the bed....yeah, we’ve all done it haven’t we?!) and trying weekly at a Pilates class to sort it out without success. I saw an advert in the local community mag from Liz re her Somatics classes.....and the rest is history as they say.
NOW, I wouldn’t contemplate any other solution to the aches and pains and stressful, anxious feelings we all experience as life passes by.
NOW, if I’ve “tweaked” something or am going through a phase in life when things are getting a bit too much, I KNOW EXACTLY what to turn to.
Don’t be put off by the unfamiliar word “Somatics,” let Liz explain it and work with you to achieve a solution for you. Somatics has enabled me to become aware of what the problems are within my body and then how to move differently and find a permanent solution which resolves the pain and stress and helps me to relax.
​
Weekly classes in the privacy of your own home and then, if that’s not convenient, a massive library of recorded classes to delve into at your leisure. Feeling grounded and taller and straighter and more relaxed and with less discomfort are what I gain every time. Let Liz help you to achieve this for you aswell. (And by the way, we meet up every few months for coffee and cake aswell!! What’s not to like!!!!)””
Thanks again for reading, if you cannot make a weekly class, I have some lovely upcoming offerings below to support you Heart, Soul & Soma,
With love
Liz 💕🙏🏻
