The Turned-On Life

Somatic Coach | Guide in the Art of Living Well

Do you have a sneaking suspicion that there’s more to life than the treadmill you’re on?

You're capable, high-functioning, and you hold it all together beautifully.

And yet.

There's a quiet ache beneath the doing. A sense that somewhere along the way - between the responsibilities, the roles, the endless adapting - something essential got crowded out.

Your desire. Your truth. The felt sense of being genuinely alive in your own body and your own life.

And maybe theres’s a part of you that is beginning to ask:

What do I actually want? How do I want to live? Who do I want to be?

We are living through a remarkable moment in history. For the first time, many of us are collectively refusing to accept what hundreds of years of conditioning imposed on us. And yet we are not quite equipped to move forward into a new reality. The map we were handed was so incomplete. We were never taught to use our bodies and our desire as our compass. So we arrived at the freedom of "do it all, have it all" still running on old paradigms, our bodies still contracted around these stories that defined how we moved through the world. And now those bodies are clamouring for their wisdom to be heard.

What I hear underneath almost every conversation I have with women is that we want to feel turned-on again. Alive. Turned-on in our relationships, in our work, in our purpose, in our bodies.

I work at the intersection of somatic awareness, embodiment, and desire - where what you truly want is already speaking, already pulsing, just waiting to be heard. The work is attentive, embodied, playful.

I know this journey because I've lived it. Because I am living it.

As a professional violinist and divorced mother of two, I know what it is to reinvent yourself. To let go of who you were. To live through heartbreak and transformation and come out the other side more resilient, poised, and wiser.

I grew up with a pretty conventional idea of what my life was going to look like - wifehood, motherhood, and then a bit of a blank. I learned to accommodate and adapt. I became a professional violinist in London, built a career, a marriage, a family, a beautiful home. From the outside, life looked full. But inside I was hollow. Numb. Performing in every sense of the word.

When everything collapsed - divorce, Covid, a custody dispute, the loss of my identity as a musician I was left with nothing but raw pain and questions I could no longer avoid: who am I when I stop performing? What truly matters to me? What do I actually want?

What followed was the most difficult and the most alive period of my life. I learned to open fully - to sensation, to desire, to truth. To receive pleasure and pain and everything in between without needing to manage, avoid or explain it.

As I learned to befriend the parts of me I had ignored or suppressed, and as I learned to dance with what is, opportunities I never could have imagined started to arise. I now find myself walking a path I couldn't have dreamed of for myself, constantly amazed, curious, and grateful.

I've learned to approach life as the infinite game. It doesn't always come easy - but it's much more fun this way!

There are two ways we can work together.
