About me
Hi! I’m Mady and I’m an embodiment facilitator, yoga teacher and sound healer.
The spaces I hold are centred around self-connection and emotional release through the senses. I use a trauma-informed and embodied approach across my work. Nervous system regulation & stress release is at the core of my practices so that we can access the wisdom and intuition that lives us.
Holding space and witnessing the sacred unraveling from armour to honesty is my greatest joy. I love to create unique workshops that honour connection, compassion and community.
My practices are informed by my teachers, my grief, my intuitive voice and my navigation of my own healing journey. Whatever I share with others is an active practice of my own, forever evolving and responsive to the unique moment that we share together.
Metamorphic Movement
My signature blindfolded workshop which combines self-massage, aromatherapy, intuitive movement and dance. We remove sight to enhance our sensitivity to sound and sensations in the body, allowing emotions to be processed in a natural, liberated way. Rest & integrate your journey with a healing sound bath. Find out more here.
Embodied Yoga
This holistic & trauma-informed approach to yoga is about sensation over shape. I incorporate somatic practices into each flow to guide you towards your own body’s rhythm and capacity. Move from a space of rest & harmony. Find out more here.
Sound Healing
Join me in this 1:1 sensory cocoon to nurture your physical, emotional & spiritual transformation. This holistic session blends the healing vibrations of sound (Himalayan singing bowls & more) as well as breathwork, embodied movement & oracle cards to soften into your healing journey. A gentle space for you to express, process & rest. Find out more about 1:1 and EVENTS here.
Offerings

To me, I feel most embodied when I am not looking outside of myself to determine “how I should be feeling or what I should be doing”. I am not gathering information because there is plenty of wisdom within. Embodiment is the experience of turning inward through dropping into the subtle sensations present in the body. There is an embodied approach to everything - yoga, cooking, responding to an email…

Embodiment and somatic practices are for everyone. I work with all genders & all beings who are courageous and curious. It is important to me that the yoga I teach is inclusive and accessible for bodies. Anyone is welcome, unless exlusivity is stated.
Some of the spaces I hold are more specifically for womxn, as I feel my own experience and identity as a woman lends itself most genuinely to deeply exploring the stories held within the heart, womb and voice.
Sound Healing 1:1 sessions are for womxn only due to the environment. -
Yes yes yes. I teach practices which are simple, natural and intuitive. This can sometimes involve stripping back and enquiring into the conditioned/habitual ways we’ve been taught to live (rushing, reacting, feeling disempowered, disassociated, etc). The practices I teach and the spaces I hold are designed to be a gentle space of exploration & experimentation of who we might be if we moved a bit slower, took up more space and shook out our emotions.

I want my offerings to be accessible to anyone who feels they need them!
