Pulsing is a gentle yet incredibly powerful form of bodywork that breaks down old, unhelpful patterns so you can live with more freedom and more joy

We’ve all, at some point, had our wants and needs denied, scorned, shamed, ridiculed, punished or undermined.

And we’ve all put up defences to protect ourselves from the same thing happening again.

Defences that dictate how we react to others, what we dare to go after, what we keep hidden inside of ourselves.

Defences that keep us safe, but cost us the possibility of a life lived with everything we’ve got to throw at it.

These defences live in the body, as patterns of chronic muscular tension.

Which is good news, because it means we can begin to dismantle these defences by working on the body.

Pulsing is a transformational style of neo-Reichian bodywork that aims to gently and gradually break down these defences.

It uses soothing rocking along with breath, voice and passive movement to help you experience your body in new ways. This ‘holistic self-experiencing’ allows your unconscious mind (the bodymind) to recognise, process and let go of old, unhelpful patterns that get in the way of you living your best life.

In fortnightly 90-minute sessions, I will guide you through a process of deep inner exploration, guided somatic enquiry and, where it’s needed, emotional release and integration.

So you can live with more freedom, connection, vitality and joy.

I’m on a mission to heal the mind-body split

I was so stuck for such a long time.

For years I struggled to understand the roots of my dissatisfaction – my deep-seated feeling that no matter how hard I tried, life never quite turned out he way I hoped. Jobs, relationships, friendships, creativity, health – in every area of life I felt like I was stuck in a rut that I couldn’t escape. Like I had so much to offer no way of getting it out into the world.

Talk therapy was very helpful when it came to recognising the patterns that I’d picked up from childhood – patterns that dictated how I related to myself and others. But no matter how much I talked about these patterns, I couldn’t find a way to escape them.

The problem, I now know, was that I was trying to use my mind to resolve issues that were held in the body. Trying to use mental power to solve physical, energetic problems.

Luckily, one birthday I got a voucher for a massage.

I didn’t think it was my thing, so the voucher went in a drawer until it a week before its expiry date when I finally booked myself, in. It was then that things began to change. Very, very slowly at first, but then with gathering momentum.

I started to experience my body differently.

I began to learn my body’s language.

I began to realise that all the baggage I was carrying from my childhood was still there, in the muscles and the fascia and the bones.

There were all these scars, and these walls that I’d erected within myself to defend those scars.

And those walls were keeping me hemmed in. Only letting me feel certain feelings. Only letting me express certain behaviours.

And so I started on a mission of dismantling those walls one by one.

Brick by brick.

So that one day I would be able to inhabit the full range of myself.

To be able to feel and to express all my feelings.

To live free from my conditioning.

So now I’m a bodyworker who gets great joy from sharing what I’ve learned with others.

I help people start dismantling their own walls, and break through to the freedom on the other side.

Get started with Pulsing

Just fill out the short form and I’ll get back to you with a link to my calendar.

This is so you can schedule a quick 15-minute video call where we can make sure that Pulsing is right for you (and that I’m the right practitioner), before we book you in for a trial session.

Name

Your first session will begin with an extended consultation to talk through what you’re looking to get out of Pulsing. I’ll also double check the information you’ve put in your intake form (which I’ll send you in advance) for anything that would contraindicate Pulsing for you.

Then there’ll be up to 60 minutes of hands-on bodywork, leaving plenty of time at the end of the session for integration.

The bodywork is delivered with you lying on a regular massage table, fully clothed. It consists of continuous rocking accompanied by specific stretches and movements which are designed to guide and direct your awareness to different parts of your body.

During this time you may enter something like an altered state where deep emotion more easily rises into conscious awareness. I will help you feel, express and process that emotion by holding space for it and by occasionally prompting you to involve more of your body, breath and voice.

After a session it is common for people to feel deeply relaxed or even sleepy, but you could also find yourself energised, and feel more awake and aware.

You should leave yourself plenty of time after a Pulsing session to process what’s happened before engaging in any demanding physical, mental or social activities.

I need to be able to pick up your limbs and move them around, so loose comfortable clothing that doesn’t restrict your movement is best. Lycra can be a bit too slippery, so think tracky bottoms and a t-shirt. No jeans – the buttons and waistband makes bodywork difficult.

Sessions happen in warm, comfortable, confidential treatment rooms at Space To Be You in Hackney, which is located just off Mare Street between Cambridge Heath and London Fields overground stations.

A 90-minute session includes 60-minutes of hands-on bodywork and costs £90.

The recommended frequency is once every two weeks.

This gives your bodymind enough time to process what’s happened at the previous session but isn’t long enough for your old conditioning to take hold again.

Pulsing is not so good for people with hypermobility, advanced osteoporosis, herniated disks or other severe spinal injuries, any risk of thrombosis, epilepsy, or in the first trimester or last few weeks of pregnancy.

You should let me know before the session (in the intake form and consultation) about any current injuries, illnesses or other serious health conditions.

Because Pulsing is a regressive therapy, it’s also not for children or anyone who has required serious mental health interventions in the past.

It’s a15-minute call

We’ll be a great fit for working together if…

  • You appreciate that real transformation takes time and effort and you’re ready to begin working towards a life of greater presence and connection;
  • You’ve already done some self-exploration through other forms of therapy, spiritual practices, self-help books or coaching, but it feels like a major part of the puzzle has been missing;
  • You’re into music and dancing (even if you think you’re not very good at it);
  • You have no problem admitting that you have no idea what’s going on;
  • You are aware that you are an animal;
  • You also know that you are more than an animal;
  • You have an open mind when it comes to other people’s world views – eastern medicine, ayurveda, astrology and animism are all of interest to you.

We probably won’t click if…

  • You’re looking for a quick fix, for someone to fix you or for some secret trick or hack that’s going to magically erase your problems overnight;
  • You’re not prepared to go into uncomfortable territory in order to learn more about yourself;
  • You want to learn how to control your feelings rather than get better at feeling your feelings;
  • You want to go over and over the same old stories of how people in your life are the cause of your problems instead of looking for the cause in you;
  • You can’t keep appointments;
  • You’re afraid to try.
