In this free 90 minute, free workshop you’ll explore ‘how the secret to living confidently calls for your courage to APPROACH YOUR BODY, process trauma & heal your nervous system.
We’re in it together darling - lets do this !
MY INTENTIONS FOR THIS WORKSHOP ...
Why we have to go beyond mindset work and invite in the body and nervous system to create a path for connection and healing.
We’ll be exploring the root of shame, how it manifests and what approach to take so that we can heal from it.
Somatic explorations and embodiment practices that connect us to the natural and innate capacities of the body for healing
You will leave knowing exactly what you need to do next to end body shame and live with that quiet confidence that you and everyone around you feels - damn that is sexy !
here’s what you’ll take away
Why food & your body are not the problem.
How what you’re currently see as problems about yourself and your life were actually once a solution to a greater problem.
How self-confidence isn’t a mindset but a state that’s born of the body and nervous system.
Why healing your nervous system and processing trauma is fundamental to healing your relationship with food and your body.
The pathway to take, to living a life where you feel so confident and free in your body which
A deeper sense of compassion for yourself and why you experience this relationship with your food & body
That there is no quick fix for ending the hurtful relationship with food and your body and that working slowly and somatically, IS THE FAST WAY.
For years I was living in a state of nervous system dysregulation and carrying the effects of unresolved trauma which led to eating disorders, people pleasing, low self esteem, body shame and an inability to cope with intensity and discomfort. I very often felt trapped, overwhelmed, ashamed, frozen and withdrawn.
And, I thought it was all my fault. I thought it was something I was doing wrong, I thought that I was weird, broken and that I had a problem that I just couldn’t find the answer to.
It was only when I started to work in a trauma-informed approach, with the body and nervous system taking lead, that I understood (and also felt in every cell) that there was absolutely nothing wrong with me. That I was in fact working perfectly given the circumstances I’d experienced. This changed everything for me and I started to live with so much more trust, compassion, confidence and freedom - it felt like I was given a new life.
And I know that it’s the same for you and I want to support you in discovering that.
“it’s the workshop that i didn’t know i was searching for !”
“I came away from this workshop realising and remembering that my body is doing everything FOR me. I now understand how my actions, choices and behaviours reside & begin in my nervous system & I’m so excited to continue working with Alex on this journey. I wish I had learnt about this years ago !!”

"everybody needs to experience this”
“Being in Alex’s presence offered me a certain kind of safety that I haven’t experienced before. In just 90 minutes, I discovered so much about the reasons why I find it so difficult to stop certain patterns and behaviours and the (very manageable) steps I can take to start transforming that. Through this learning I’ve started to experience a new kind of relationship with myself - it’s kinder, more loving, more patient & compassionate. It’s beautiful. I’m crying.
Thank you Alex.”

THIS WORKSHOP WILL OPEN YOU TO EXPLORING HOW YOU CAN MOVE …
FROM THIS …
Chronic cycles of self criticism, hate and judgment.
Binge eating and overeating which pulls you into a spiral of guilt and shame
Promising that ‘you’ll start again tomorrow’
Unable to actually fully enjoy en evening out to a restraunt
Feeling soooo self conscious when getting intimate with partners
Feeling like you have to constrict and hide your body in every situation
Spending outside of your means to try and get clothes to make you feel better about your body. (Who else needs a new wardrobe every time a new season arrives because you feel so uncomfortable?)
Forcing yourself into a 5 x a week gym routine and failing
Frantically searching for the next diet ‘that’s going to work’
TO THIS …
Shame free, guilt free, pleasure filled eating (yes it’s absolutely possible !!)
Loving what you see every time you walk past the mirror
Seeing yourself beyond ‘just your body’ and sharing that beauty with the world
Having amazing sex where you feel like the sexist woman that has graced the Earth
Speaking up for yourself - for what you want and need with confidence
Creating a healthy and easeful relationship with exercise
Feeling confident and comfortable in and out of your clothes
I’m sure, just as I did, you’ve tried a lot of things to try and change how you feel. Meditation, new diets, new morning routines, daily affirmations, talking therapy and yoga etc.
And while I’m sure they have provided you with some relief and moments of stillness, those patterns still manage to make an appearance in your life.
Is that right?
Hey, I’m Alex …
I support passionate women to recognise their wholeness, transform trauma and return to body connection so that they can stop feeling ashamed of themselves and live with confidence, love and acceptance for themselves.
From the age of around 14 - 26 I lived with Binge Eating Disorder and Body Dysmorphic Disorder. I know what it’s like to live with deep shame of your body, to feel stuck in a hurtful relationship with food and unable to find a way out - no matter how hard you try.
It was only when I found Somatic Therapy & came into a very intimate relationship with my body, that I began to heal. I was liberated from the self-criticism and judgment and began to live with an unbelievable amount of self-love and confidence. I say unbelievable - because for so long I never believed it could EVER be possible.
And now I spend my spare time in naked saunas, at conscious sex parties and making love to myself in my mirror because I’m just so damn in love with and inspired by the woman that I am.
I’m really looking forward to connecting with you & walking with you into a life filled with more connection & freedom darling one.
