From High Energy to Inner Awareness: My Shift Towards Yin
My journey began over 20 years ago as a Personal Trainer, running bootcamps, spin classes, one to ones and later moving into women’s health with a focus on movement, strength and recovery.
When Movement Became Something Deeper
I used fascia release to create space and ease in the body – simple, practical and effective.
Then one day whilst on a fascia training course, the tissue softened and emotion rose. Clear physical work opened a door.
Since then, I have approached movement with more listening, because sometimes what releases isn’t just tension.
The Moment Yin Found Me
And then Yin found me, after years of movement - running, weights, children, dogs, work, and the quick pace of life - Yin arrived like an exhale – a space to pause, a moment to listen.
In each long-held position, something shifted.
Strength and structure began to meet stillness and softness.
Yin invited me to slow down and explore a different kind of strength – the quiet kind that lives beneath effort.
The Power of Stillness
The poses became less about stretching and more about surrender.
Every long hold seemed to unravel not just muscle, but memory.
Yin bought everything together for me: fascia release, body awareness, breath and presence. It invited me to slow down and soften, and to rediscover the quiet intelligence of my own body.
What I love most about Yin is that it honours the uniqueness of every body. No two people will look the same in a pose and they’ re not meant to.
The practice isn’t about shapes – it’s about sensation.
It invites us to meet ourselves exactly as we are, letting go of comparison or judgement and trusting that what we feel is enough.
And then there’s the rebound - the quiet space that follows each pose. A pause where the body integrates what has just been released. It’s often in those moments of stillness that the real shifts are felt – a deep settling or a wave of ease.
Living Yin: In The Mountains of Spain
My last teacher training was in the elements of Yin, off grid in the Spanish mountains with my trainer and mentor Verity Sawyer (veritysawyer.com). Here I immersed myself in Yin, full of stillness, inquiry and deep listening.
That experience is where Yin became more than a practice it became a way of being.
Yin met me in the pause and in that space, I finally heard myself.
From stillness to the Tap Method™
From stillness came the foundation for everything I now share through the Tap Method™ - a practice born from the quiet spaces Yin opened in me. It weaves together the modalities of PT, EFT, NLP and Jikiden Reiki blending physical release, energy work and the quiet intelligence of the body and mind to guide you back to presence and renewal.
