  • EP 105: Female Sexuality: A Journey of Deep Healing and Transformation
    May 25 2025

    In this episode, I share my transformative experience at a sexuality retreat centred on de-armouring and emotional exploration. I talk about the Gaia Method, a body-oriented approach to healing, and reflect on powerful themes like intimacy, consent, and reclaiming personal power.

    This journey led me into deep self-discovery, understanding the connection between sexuality and self-love, and breaking free from societal expectations around female sexuality. I open up about the emotional process of witnessing and holding space for raw feminine expression, the healing that came through connection and compassion, and how self-love played a vital role in healing trauma stored in my body.

    Through it all, I reflect on how I found safety in pleasure, strength in vulnerability, and a deeper calling to support others on this path.

    In this episode, I’m joined by the brilliant Coach, Author and Speaker Tamu Thomas as she shares her powerful journey from burnout to self-empowerment. Together, we explore how societal pressures affect women's well-being and how tools like journaling can support self-discovery and healing from limiting beliefs.

    Tamu speaks beautifully about the role of pleasure in empowerment and the importance of rebuilding trust with oneself to reconnect with the body and access deeper satisfaction in life. Our conversation dives into the power of breathwork, embodiment, and intentional self-care. We unpack the importance of listening to the body’s signals, setting healthy boundaries, and allowing space for grief as a pathway to transformation. We also reflect on what it means to redefine success, cultivate true resilience, and live with authenticity. Tamu offers heartfelt wisdom on embracing all parts of yourself and prioritising personal growth and well-being.

    Apr 20 2025

    Send us a text

    In this episode of Wild and Whole, I'm joined by the amazing Angel, a holistic practitioner and bodyworker, as we explore the profound importance of touch in healing. We discuss how touch influences emotional and physical well-being, emphasising the need for safe, authentic connections and personal awareness of our own needs.

    Our conversation covers the therapeutic benefits of bodywork, how trauma impacts the body, and the essential role of creating safe healing spaces. Angel shares valuable insights into connecting with our inner wisdom, highlighting how tailored touch therapies like Lomi Lomi can foster emotional resilience and personal growth.

    We delve into the role of sexual energy in bodywork, the necessity of feeling supported and held, and effective techniques for receiving touch. Additionally, we emphasise the importance of consent, autonomy, and self-advocacy in therapeutic and intimate settings.
