Welcome
When the womb is happy – so is the woman. The intention of the work Living Ligaments is to uncover what holds the womb hostage and to allow her to free herself from her shackles. Go straight there has not worked so far. Hence we use Gentling Ways to allow nature to unfold.
2022 (online)
All my teaching is in three parts:
1. online,
2. practical and
3. post course support.
The experiential and practical (middle section) – will also be online if needs be.
MODULES – all priced at $US 550 each

MODULES
START MAYBE – MOVE YOUR QI
(Likely to get the acupuncturists in)
1 – SELFING – online – self paced and 2 days in session
INTENTION – We all live in a body. In Gentle Selfing – we explore being responsible for being. Undoing what has led you to here. As a woman. Maybe time to stop, take stock and start over. We all had a womb. Did we know she was the centre of our being? Is she happy? She may hold a lot of STUCK. We may have large stories. Shall we let it go? How to do so easily? Take better care. From a perspective of life and rhythms. and of reverence.
ORIGIN – My background of decades in assisting women accept their cycles, their life choices and their ability to become empowered. From 2014-16, teaching the Maya/Arvigo ways. Living now – seeing how we can be more attentive to our own selves.
WHAT IS SO DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS? – The merging of the energy model, soul based awareness into gentle living habits. Using multiple cultural traditions, and methods of allowing women to grow from maidens through maternity/tending into happy women taking their part in the tribe – eventually as sage femmes.
AT THE END OF THIS – the participant will have new ways of allowing her body to express itself without having to SCREAM at her to respect herself, her tidal flows, and her life. With a clearer picture of her place in her own world, the aligning of her mission here this time around, and how her past is possibly still in the way. To shed this to begin again – for self.
Selfing – self paced courses preparing to attend the online sessions, to be followed by the one month Selfing Challenge – with your new friends online.

2 – FOUNDATIONAL MOVES – Online
Foundational Moves, PLUS Love Your Body Better PLUS Healing Power of Touch
INTENTION – To use your own hands at home to look after yourself and those around you,. Using simple touch, and what was common sense. No experts needed. (Most of this is grounded in elder’s ways).
ORIGIN – The extras that I add into all my sessions – gained from being taught acupuncture by a chiropractor, in a time where results were what sold the work. Our teacher wanted us to have an array of what worked. Here is the result (minutes the needles). Lymph moving, allowing the STUCK to freely flow again.
WHAT IS SO DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS? – Part 1 – It is hands-on – immediate as in instant – results. The moves are simple, easy to master, and flow – whether you do the sequence as on the online course, or as bits. Part 2 – The sensible way to use food and supplements – check that your body can actually sue them – work WITH not AGAINST what it is able to do.
AT THE END OF THIS – Painless living – with a way out of not feeling vibrant. Weight and energy as you desire – as YOU are now aware of consequences through understanding how a body works, and working with it.
IF YOU ARE ALREADY A THERAPIST, working with others – you will likely find that all that you did – may not be needed. These foundational moves bring a body back to its own sense of order and wholeness. Your passion rekindled – as things really do transform when we allow life to flow. .

4 – HOME HELP Ideally – hands-on or online/live
INTENTION – Here we learn how a well body heals itself. Joyful life in a body. Armed with an owner’s manual – understanding how continually ‘doing everything right’ and still being ill, in pain, not capable of being resilient – is maybe missing pieces of the puzzle.
