I pledge allegiance
to the caged,
the seldom heard,
the kind and the wild.

Rosie Heller

I’m a Thinking Environment coach for the Quiet Ones, exploring qualities of attention, embodied thinking (felt thinking and thoughtful feeling) and a slower pace when connection is needed.

I offer more space, a slower pace - a sacred space for difficult emotions and I am especially passionate about supporting and offering a safe space to navigate and explore feelings of grief, overwhelm, anger, anxiety, despair and fear in response to your felt experience of the climate crisis, societal injustice and inequality.

All feelings that need a place to belong, to be held respectfully and witnessed are graciously welcomed in this generative practice space and held with muscular hope.

I work with the Thinking Environment, a practice that offers your thinking more grace, and more space to think.

Time here moves at your pace.

Here we are faithful to a more generous relationship with time, an uninterrupted space to think and to alchemise and reintegrate your intelligence and insights into how you inhabit and contribute to the world.

The focus is on thinking engages your body and mind. Here you can integrate your emotions and core values, regulate and integrate your feelings to develop sense-making skills, build awareness and coherence, to feel more connected with your intelligence.

Here, you matter, profoundly.

As a neurodiverse woman, I’d especially love to work with you if you identify as neurodivergent or are struggling to find a quiet place for your voice to be heard.

"Thinking for yourself is a radical act."

Nancy Kline

Who is this for?

for women and those who identify as feminine.

for the silenced, unheard and overlooked, for the quiet voices and stifled hearts.

for those of you who identify as neurodivergent.

for sensitives; those of you who identify as a Sensory Perception Sensitivity (SPS) human or Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), for introverts and empaths.

for menopausal women (pre, present and post).

for thinkers who exist in the margins.

for anyone longing for a place where your complex feelings (too big, too messy, too much) belong and are valued.

for you and your grief; for where you have not known love, for what was needed and never given, for earth grief and all sorrows for the world.

"Listening to ignite your mind,
to think with rigour, imagination,
courage and grace."

Nancy Kline

To ignite, not influence...

The only aim of this practice and for our time together is “to ignite, not influence” (Nancy Kline) your embodied intelligence and your thinking. Here you can simply be present, familiarising yourself with your thinking as it thinking unfolds.

This process is a slow practice that embraces and integrates the body's intelligence with the Thinking Environment. It is a regenerative patient space that generates connection and coherence to the inner intelligence of your body and liberate your independent thinking and imagination.

What is unique about this approach is that it (the modality and our relational space) is in service to your thinking only. It is a quiet space to investigate the integrity of your thoughtful feelings and insights that belong in you.

This practice is therapeutic, it moves at your pace.

This is a sanctuary space

it is countercultural

she is a sweet rebel

where tenderness conjures thinking

at a pace, with ease

that is shaped by you.

"Urgent times, call for quiet; for rest and respite. Instead of ramping up, we must surrender, and wait to witness the transformative potential of stillness."

Báyò Akómoláfé

Making sanctuary

I offer this slow time, a sanctuary space to acknowledge and make sacred what is present for you and the very real and overwhelming feelings that we are currently experiencing, our grief, fear and anxieties in response to societal and environmental crises.

This sanctuary space is informed by The Work That Reconnects, Otto Scharmer and Theory U, ecopsychology and eco-anxiety, Buddhist psychology and a range of movement modalities that support deep enquiry and ways of coming home to ourselves.

I have been shaped by the extraordinary hearts and minds of Francis Weller, Thomas Hübl, Tara Brach, Báyò Akómoláfé, Tricia Hersey, Rebecca Solnit, Joanna Macey, Christiana Figueres and Nancy Kline.

What do you need to think about?

What do you need to explore in your body, in your felt experience of being here, in this world?

What are the conditions you need to know that you can think well and independently, to go to the unexplored edges of your full-bodied, deeply felt, generative thinking?
