As far back as I can remember, I’ve been yearning for freedom—
Freedom in my body.
Freedom from cultural constraints.
Freedom to live authentically.

A a child, I felt the urge to dance, sing and move. Freedom was simply following that inner urge. The body singing a tune.

But like so many women, I followed the path expected of me.
Cultural expectations. Family patterns. The pressure to achieve, hold it all together, and look good doing it.
In that process, I became disconnected from my own rhythm—
From the deep, quiet wisdom living in my body.

The Supermom Years

In my late 20s, I was raising two young children on my own.
Like so many women, I stepped into the role of Supermom—
Doing it all. Holding it all.
Wanting to be seen as capable, strong and independent. 

Somewhere along the way, I decided my body needed fixing.
I joined a gym. I became a fitness professional.
I learned to measure, monitor, push, and perform.
To sculpt my body into something strong, controlled, and capable.

And on the outside—I looked like I had it all together.
But inside, I was holding so much.
I’d compartmentalised my emotions, separated them from my physical self,
Not yet realising that the body doesn’t work in parts.
That body and mind were never meant to be split.

The Turning Point: A Somatic Awakening

My journey into somatic movement began in 2003 during Clinical Pilates training, where I discovered fascia and biotensegrity—the nature,  anatomy and architecture of our wholeness. 

A new paradigm, experienced through somatic movement to help us sense our body's integration, these concepts showed me that we are not isolated parts but a continuous web of soft tissue (fascia) held by a balance of forces within (biotensegrity). Creating a stability that already holds us rather than us having to hold ourselves together. We don't need to strengthen our core!

This quantum leap in awareness—feeling this wholeness—body and mind as one transformed my life.

I discovered how to calm the mind through the body. By tuning in.
How to reduce stress by working with the body’s rhythms—not against them.
And how pain and tension could begin to melt when we release stiffness and strain in our fascia.

It explained why the body could feel both strong and supple without stretching or lifting weights—why change in one area could ripple through the whole.

Guiding others to his body wisdom became my a calling.

From a Calling to a Challenge

I had shifted yet everywhere I looked, the prevailing wisdom still treated the body as separate parts.
I found myself gently guiding against this current—offering a whole-body perspective in a world where symptoms were addressed in isolation.

It was often challenging to help others connect with their body's innate intelligence when everything around them reinforced disconnection.
I watched many people struggle with approaches that offered temporary relief, but missed the broader patterns—the deeper wholeness waiting to be felt.

This work became my calling.
But it also became my challenge.

When the Healer Needs Healing

And then it began. Heart palpitations from nowhere! Despite my somatic experience, I found myself in dysregulation as I entered menopause. 

My longing to share the power of somatic healing with others, meant, I had ignored my own biological rhythm.

My  body began sending clear signals:

• Debilitating insomnia

• Mid-morning crashes and chronic fatigue

• Tinnitus that wouldn’t quiet

• Heart palpitations out of nowhere

• A nervous system stuck in a stress response

My body was carrying years of stress, over-responsibility, and unprocessed trauma—
All amplified by the hormonal shifts of midlife.

Coming Home to My Body

The difference was… I knew how to listen.
And this time, I finally listened for me.

I let my body lead. 

Through deepening my somatic practice, I allowed the unwinding to begin.
I returned to my body’s innate intelligence—and with it, I reclaimed my energy, vitality, and joy.

Today, I feel more supple than I did in my 20s—without stretching.
I feel steady and clear—without striving.
And I feel at home in my own skin.

Why I Created In-Tune

I created In-Tune for women like us—
Women who’ve spent their lives giving, holding, doing…
Only to wake up one day wondering where their vitality went.

The freedom you're craving—
It doesn’t come from doing more, fixing more, or trying harder.
It comes from tuning in.

Listening to the quiet language your body has been speaking all along.

This isn’t about going back to who you were.
It’s about becoming who you’re meant to be—when your body feels safe enough to unfold.

I’ve walked this path.
And I’d be delighted to be your somatic guide you as you walk yours.
