Body-Led living isn't ...
Body-Led living is a vote for THE totality and exquisite beauty of it all.
I pray that you are so damn well today, how are you? How is your heart?
This is a little bit of a personal share from the specific season I am in, my intention is that it offers you a snippet into the work I do, why I do it and how you can implement into your own life xx
6 weeks ago I made a decision, a decision that by 40 I would be the fittest, sexiest and strongest I have ever been in mind, body + spirit. I'll be 40 at the end of 2026.
A month in, committing to weighted vest walks daily and 3 lifting sessions per week - the sacred act of being more disciplined was showing emotionally, mentally and spiritually. That month BTS lots of unexpected change happened, throwing our plans out the window however the doubling down on my ‘body devotion’ - gave me the gift of a quiet mind, a detached ego and faith in the unfolding.
Today, 6 weeks in - my body has changed, I am lifting more weight in the gym than I have in a very long time, my man was inspired and joined me 2 weeks ago and the chemistry between us is like that honeymoon phase from 13 yrs ago 💦
Hello! Yes, more please!!
Last Friday, we were both stood out on the verandah here in Greece, deep in conversation and sharing our hearts honestly and the next moment, a few gentle tears rolled down my husbands face …
I inched in, placed my hand on his heart and held him. We both exhaled.
If you've been around for long enough, you know that we make decisions in our home through our values - we have lived by this over and over and over again. It is something I teach my clients how to do, because rooting life in your values provides rich soil from which you ALL thrive … I teach my clients how to lean in and have those conversations (with Self + others) even when it leaves you standing there soul naked in the raw … exposed + vulnerable. Because around here we do the work to hold said sensations of discomfort … and lean ALL the way in 🤎
You see the work we do on ourselves, isn't just for us.
The devotion we show for the vessel in which we live, isn’t just for us!
It is for him, it is for our children.
We are their inspiration, we are breath that ignites their very being.
It is for the harmony in our home, in its totality and exquisite beauty.
When your body is healthy, your channel is healthy.
When you mind is healthy, honest thoughts are shared with kindness.
When your emotions are healthy, you're calm, open and receptive.
When your Spirit is healthy, you're creative, connected + present.
Over and over again I come back to the same wisdom, our body has and always will be the way home. And the real juice behind what I am terming ‘sacred discipline’ as part of my ‘Body-Led’ framework is that when you anchor the simple, the subtle, and the unsexy you quit resuscitating that which is meant to fall away …
The rebirth is worth the death
Let what needs to die, die.
We need to learn that it is safe to evolve, to overreach and stretch ourselves again, that too much comfort can be dis-ease in disguise …
Body-Led living isn't:
lighting incense and dancing around in white linen while chanting
laying on the couch watching Netflix because said nudge … told you to rest
constant thought work to ‘fix' what you've telling yourself is wrong about yourself
counting macros and rigidity that creates rebellion
waking at the crack of dawn, filling ones schedule and having no fun 😓
journalling and cacao ceremonies every other day
I do NOT do any of this.
Why?
I’m busy being a safe-haven for clients to unfurl while offering loving accountability, somatic processing and perspective shifts to deepen their lives, build strong in body’s, mind’s and spirit’s.
I'm busy home-schooling my littles, swimming the turquoise water of the mediterranean, re-birthing my business and making love to my man.
I’m busy being in deep relation with the most sacred practice of tending to my body and nourishing my most basic and primal needs as a Woman, as a Wife and as a Mother.
There is nothing sexier that a satiated, satisfied and sensually alive woman and right now, I am her.
This is Body-Led living.
And tomorrow at 9am Greece time, I’ll be weaving some of this conversation through our Community Breathwork Session. You’re invited. It’s free to attend.
Come as you are, leave nurtured, connected and inspired to anchor a little more Sacred Discipline and Body Devotion into your world … this is THE HOW.
Don’t skip the actual act of being in your body and in your breath.

I will be opening up 4 spaces to walk privately through my transformative and deeply grounding Body-Led framework. It is a 5 month journey for the committed woman.
This is an evolution of the beta-round of a somatic mentoring journey I successfully guided 5 beautiful women through in November last year.
By December the armor will have fallen, you will be as soft and sensual as you are strong and fierce. You want the best for yourself not just at work! You want the inner vitality to match the life you’ve already worked so damn hard to create.
No more apologising or suppressing what you really want.
No BTS martydom.
If you’re curious about what this looks like, before details are slowly released next week, reach out. We begin May 22.
