What happens when you come back into relationship with yourself?
- More ease in the body.
- More space in the nervous system.
- More vitality.
- More clarity about where you are going.
My work brings together Shiatsu, Qi gong, Nervous system practices, Mentoring and Embodied Astrology - offering different and ways to reconnect with yourself, your body and the life you're living.
Sometimes we begin with the body. Sometimes with movement, breath or the nervous system. Sometimes with a question about where you are in life and where you are heading.

Mentoring
A space to pause, reflect and explore what is unfolding and to find clarity for your next steps.
My mentoring draws on the different strands of my work weaving in Traditional Chinese Medicine techniques, Shiatsu for in person sessions, Nervous realign, Embodied astrology, Qi Gong and nutritional support.
We might work with the body, the nervous system, breath, energy or explore patterns and cycles through astrology or simply create the space to help you listen more deeply to what you already know.
This is a flexible collaborative space for times of change, transition and growth or for when you are feeling the need to understand yourself and to move forward with greater inner awareness.

Testimonials:
"Beyond shiatsu, a testimonial for Lys:
Having booked an hour-long shiatsu treatment with Lys, I knew within 15 minutes that I wanted more and extended the session to 90 minutes. I initially expected a deep-tissue massage, but within moments I felt completely held with love and compassion. I softened and melted as she intuitively and expertly worked, allowing her hands and fingers to access the precise pressure points needed to release, activate, and
re-energise me.
It's rare to meet someone who inspires a level of surrender that allows true healing to unfold. Yet there is something about Lys that gently cracks you open, inviting vulnerability while providing a profound sense of safety. I could have stayed in that space all weekend.
Lys is a highly skilled, deeply intuitive practitioner, and I would not hesitate to recommend her.
10 out of 10.
Thank you so much"
Jacqui, Leeds
"The first time I met Lys I happened to mention I was in some pain. She immediately began working with me, asking lots of questions and studying my frame and posture. Within minutes I was experiencing relief. True story!" Marianne Kavanagh, Somerset
"I felt so good after Lys's shiatsu treatment, I would definitely book with her again" Caroline Bradley, Sussex
"This woman is a proper gem! She totally sorted out my low back issues. Totally recommend her!" Sylvia, Somerset
"Lys has magic hands! I love her treatments" Lone, Denmark
"Outstanding treatments on all levels" Jane , Somerset
"I suffered with sciatica for years, the treatment that I received from Lys felt very gentle, but the effect was astounding. My back seemed to miraculously rearrange itself for days afterwards. Now I feel perfectly aligned, as if I received a brand new back. Thank you so much"

The Journey
One day you finally knew
what you had to do, and began,
though the voices around you
kept shouting
their bad advice–
though the whole house
began to tremble
and you felt the old tug
at your ankles.
“Mend my life!”
each voice cried.
But you didn’t stop.
You knew what you had to do,
though the wind pried
with its stiff fingers
at the very foundations,
though their melancholy
was terrible.
It was already late
enough, and a wild night,
and the road full of fallen
branches and stones.
But little by little,
as you left their voices behind,
the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds,
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own,
that kept you company
as you strode deeper and deeper
into the world,
determined to do
the only thing you could do–
determined to save
the only life you could save.
