Hi, I’m Kerrie
I’m a somatic practitioner and embodiment coach creating spaces for woman-centered healing, relationships and intimacy.
I have spent a decade studying and practising in the realms of yoga, mindfulness, somatic trauma healing, Tantra, Shamanism, women’s rites of passage, and the sacred feminine arts.
Through this path I have healed my own trauma and relationship patterns and turned my body and mind from a scary and confusing place, to a place of ease, wisdom and power.
I did this through applying the teachings and practices I offer here in this space.
Teaching and guiding women back into their bodies has been my full-time work for almost 8 years.
This is where women come when they are ready for the truth of what it means to truly heal and liberate from within, through intimate connection to their innate bodily wisdom.
The work I offer is a devotional journey to remember your true power, a journey that takes vulnerability, and fierceness.
This journey is the ultimate homecoming back into alignment with your existence as a thriving woman and the power of creation herself.
Thank you for being here…
I am always grateful to every woman that steps into my spaces and adds this work to her journey of healing and self-discovery. The most recurrent feedback I receive from students and clients is that I embody my work.
And it should be no other way. I teach what I have learned as embodied wisdom through practice and integration. However I am always just beginning and have a lifetime of understanding and growth ahead of me.
For me living a life that felt aligned and easeful, for a long time seemed like something that other people did. I was convinced my history and my trauma had stolen too many opportunities for joy and happiness from me, and I didn’t think I could ever re-write those patterns. I seemed to repeat cycles of confusion, disconnection, shut-down, very unhealthy relating, self-hatred and anxiety.
My body and mind were not enjoyable places for me to exist, in fact I tried for a long time to get AWAY from the sensations and thoughts in my body-mind.
And yet I was dedicated to practising yoga and meditation for years, and I had been into self-development for as long as I could remember; reading all the books, listening to the podcasts.
But I hadn’t yet opened to true healing and actually being in my felt-body; the true home of my emotions, needs and desires.
My body was screaming at me, showing signs of burn-out, my mental health wasn’t great, and my dating and relationship history was a total mess!
But why? I was doing all the ‘right’ things externally and on paper.
But I didn’t want to touch the internal pain, I thought my job was to get away from the pain, not move towards it!
So I had spent years unable to access the very thing that would liberate me: my own pain and feelings! By trying to get away from my internal world, I became so wrapped up in repeating the patterns of suffering that I couldn’t seem to shine a light clearly on those cycles for myself.
The truth was I was devastatingly disconnected from my womanhood, from my cycle, my body, my emotions, and my own power. Of course I didn’t want to reconnect with my body, because that meant feeling my pain, the very thing I had become really good at avoiding.
I was not taught to face my wounding head-on, and so I felt stuck repeating patterns that most women do, of people-pleasing, self-abandonment, lack of boundaries, and disconnection from my true path and expression.
The reality? I didn’t trust myself, my mind, or my body.
Like everyone else, most of my true essence was repressed under layers of conditioning and fear. As a result, not surprisingly, I wasn’t able to access my deep self-worth, and creative power. I was creating everything I DIDN’T want through unresolved wounding.
But it gets better…
Everything shifted for me when I decided I’d had enough, that I didn’t like the trajectory I was on and where that might lead me.
That is when the right teachers and support arrived.
I decided that I wanted to not just enjoy living in this body but THRIVE! In life, in relationship, and in achieving everything my heart desires in this lifetime!
I consider the fact that you are here a bread crumb on your journey, a hint of the direction you are moving in. Whether we work together or not, I trust the fact that you have landed here and the significance of this moment in your journey.
It all changed for me through truly understanding the language of my body and my womanhood, from the physical body right down to the subtleties of my intuition that guides me in every decision I make.
The path of true inner healing is unique, however it is not complex.
There are some keys pieces of wisdom that every women needs for things to start to shift significantly.
All a woman needs is to learn the map to return home to herself, and trust her unique inner guidance.
This is the pathway I offer women and the results speak for themselves…
