Breathwork Facilitator, Embodied Nutritional Therapist, Eating Psychology and Mind-Body Coach

“If we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not too little and not too much, we would have found the safest way to health." Hippocrates (460 – 377 BC)

ABOUT NUTRITION

Naturopathic Nutrition focuses on the whole person, and not their symptoms. In acknowledging that everyone is unique and, therefore, has unique needs, the use of naturopathic principles alongside the correct nutrition can promote physical, emotional, mental healing and wellbeing. As a Naturopathic Nutritional Therapist, Lily recognise’s that everybody is different and there is no “one size fits all” way of eating, or road to healing and feeling 'well'. In her consultations, Lily ensures there is a thorough understanding of the clients personal history, goals, needs and lifestyle in order to create a program that is tailored to their individual requirements. ABOUT LILY

Lily’s passion for nutrition began with my own health journey, having suffered from depression, anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder. Unsatisfied with the treatment options and ‘nutritional advice’ recommended to her, she decided to research and discover how to heal myself through diet and lifestyle changes. Lily is passionate about helping others reclaim their health and reclaim their relationship with food and their body through dietary and lifestyle tools.

You notice.

You see if you can stay.

You get curious.

You don’t try to fix it or make sense of it.

You listen.

You allow.

And then you do it again.
And again.
And again.

Repeat. Retune. Remember ~ that’s the work.

How we relate to the earth, to nature, and how we relate to our body is not separate.

A lot of people feel “disconnected” from both earth and body. I don’t feel it is a disconnection, but more that we have just forgotten. Body and earth :: earth and body. They have always grown, weathered and moved through their own cycles of death and rebirth together. The connection was never lost, just been buried underneath noise so that it has become impossible to listen. 
When someone tells me that they feel disconnected from self, from body, from earth ~ from life, I don’t sit and ask them what broke. 
I ask instead: what did you stop noticing? What became louder than the trees rustling, the birdsong, or your own breath? And where do you still remember underneath the forgetting?

And you can go to nature, and you can stand in the forest, but you may still not hear a single bird if the noise inside your mind is louder than what’s happening around you. And you can be still, but stillness without deep listening is just a moment of quiet. 
We have to be fully present and really tune in and be willing enough to let it lead us.

Presence and stillness, without forcing, without fixing, without editing, without controlling. Finding a way to be with it before turning away. And over time, spaciousness arrives, like finding a clearing in the path after wading through a dense forest floor.

If we allow ourselves to notice the sun on our skin, the quality of light through the trees, the birdsong, the bark or the soil beneath our feet, we remember. We remember how to be in dialogue with the body :: the way we can remember to be in dialogue with a river, with soil, or with the changing light of the seasons.

Remembrance is a coming back into contact with what’s there and what can be noticed if we let ourselves. So this practice of listening, of presence, of tuning in, is a remembering that there was never any disconnection ~ it’s still here, still speaking, still just waiting to be listened to.  Disconnection implies that we need to find our way back, but there is no back…it’s only this, right here, right now.

We’re not returning to what was lost but returning to what never left 💚

Our worlds can be turned upside down in an instant. Life can be moving where you think it was going and then suddenly pow! Life gives you something to work with.

It’s not just in the here and now, it often touches what is underneath, and what is held in the body that perhaps you didn’t even know was there.

This is part of the human experience.

We carry everything in the body, and in the breath.

Watch what happens to your breath when something feels uncertain, when the trigger comes up, when the emotions rise, when life is giving you 52789329 things to handle and carry at once.

Somatic breath gives us space to come back in these moments. An opportunity to notice the breath, notice the body and notice where we are holding that tension.

We don’t need to know what it is, or even understand it. We just need to come into contact with how life is romantically shaping us.

Breathwork is not about trying to fix, or control, or regulate away :: it serves as a potent pathway to give us space to expand capacity to be with what’s here right now.

We’re not trying to escape or over-ride, we’re just simply giving ourselves a moment to breathe. To be with it. Breath by breath until being with it doesn’t feel as challenging as it may have seemed before.

Welcome to the in between.
When everything is becoming so blatantly obvious and there is no turning back. But the path ahead is not yet clear.

What truth is trying to reveal itself?
What in the unconscious has been waiting for enough light for it to surface?

Listen.
Observe.
Surrender control.
Trust the void.

Because everything can shift and change course in an instant.

The breath has taken me to places that no other medicine or altered state practice has.

Not to the altered states that certain breath practises can take you to. But the journey of working with the breath and being able to access the body, the soma.

So many practices take us out of the body. Breath takes us in. We get to stay and feel what’s actually there. We get to explore it in ways that other practices often override or bypass. Especially when you’ve been spending years trying to escape the body.

Sensation becomes this epic download and witnessing the breath move in the body is like a cosmic vision.

I’ve accessed grief on different levels, consciously touched tension and met parts of myself that after all this other work, still hadn’t been fully met.

There is no right, or wrong, for some there is space for different practices. And each provides something unique. But after years traversing the world of the body, and the world of altered states, more and more, this is what I have been finding through the consistent practice and presence of the breath.

Guess how long this one’s been sitting in my notes section.

Oh, and I started a Substack!

When we sit inside the process of peeling away what binds us, we often find that it’s not so much about unhooking what has a hold on us, but more about what is there that we are gripping back to in return?

We’ve all been in something that we have outgrown but find it difficult to fully detach ourselves from. Where the illusion has already dissolved, we see plainly through it, but it still seems to have us bound. Pulling us back. Going round in circles. I often feel it as being caught in tentacles that seem to have a hold but looking closer, you realise that you’re gripping back just as hard.

That white-knuckled grip is not just to the thing. To the outcome. To the person. To the place. It’s not just to the pattern. It’s much deeper than all of it. It’s a gripping to the identity that we built inside of the thing. It’s narrative searching for meaning and safety within a version that our systems constructed. Versions where the safety was never even real, or true.

This is often where we get stuck. By remaining loyal to identity and loyal to what we gave meaning.

Even if we let one expression of it go, we stay subconsciously committed to it in another form. One hand let’s go, and the other is gripping tightly to the next thing. One part of us says enough, and the other part is saying, I still need this.

We can’t fully release until we get radically honest and ask: what am I still gripping to inside of this? Not how do I release myself from it. But what is this still feeding? What story, what belief, what version of self, what meaning?

And If i really let go, what is left? Who am I outside of this? Who am I if I let go? Is there anything left?

Can I surrender to that unknown? Can that unknown be trusted? Can it be enough?

Can I still be enough?
Can I still belong?

We are somatically shaped by relationship.

This is where the wound occurs AND where repair also happens. Insight alone is not enough ~ we need the felt experience of actually being met.

The return to self has always moved through the space between ~ always unfolding in relationship.
