An embodied practice of inquiry
Felt Sense Flow® is a way of working with yourself through the body, movement and what you sense. Rather than only talking or thinking our way towards understanding, the body becomes an active part of the inquiry, and we work with what actually emerges along the way - physically, emotionally, mentally and energetically.
The work can take many forms. Sometimes we move, at other times we work with the breath or stay longer with a sensation or a particular bodily experience. Movement is central to Felt Sense Flow, and you are actively participating through your own body in what unfolds. You sense, move, respond, find support and discover your own way through the experience as we work.
What runs through all of it is curiosity. We don't need to know beforehand exactly what an experience means, or where it is supposed to take us. We can explore it and see what becomes clearer when the body is allowed to be part of the inquiry.
Before we have words for it
I have been working with people through the body since 1999, and one of the things I keep returning to is how much we sense before we have words for it.
We can sense that something isn't quite right without knowing why. We can have a reaction to a person or a situation that only makes sense much later. We can know a great deal about ourselves and still discover that the body responds in a way that doesn't quite match what our understanding tells us it should.
This is some of what we explore through Felt Sense Flow®. We practise staying with what we sense and feel long enough to become curious about it, rather than needing to understand it immediately. Sometimes that means being with an emotion as it moves through the body. Sometimes it means noticing an impulse, a tension, a movement or a response and giving it enough space to unfold.
I don't assume that the body always has the right answer, or that thinking gets in the way of what we feel. I am interested in the whole experience, and in what happens when the body, what we feel, our thoughts and what is happening around us are allowed to be part of the same inquiry.
It makes the work less about a method designed to take you somewhere, and more about a way of coming closer to yourself.
The body and movement
Movement is at the core of Felt Sense Flow®. I come from a background in dance, and through many years of working with movement I have experienced how we can sometimes come into contact with something through the moving body that we would not have reached through conversation or bodywork alone.
It doesn't have to look like dance. A movement can be almost invisible, or it can grow and involve the whole body. You might follow an impulse, stay with a sensation, change direction, stop, find the floor beneath you, or discover that your body wants something different from what you expected.
What matters to me is that you are the one moving.
I have spent many years working with body therapy and trauma, and I know the depth of what can happen through touch and hands-on bodywork. Felt Sense Flow offers a different bodily experience. Here, the work unfolds through your own movement and through the way you sense and respond from within.
For me, this is part of what it means to stand in your own resource. It doesn't mean that you have to hold everything on your own. I guide you and stay with you in the process, while we make room for your own pace, your boundaries and the support you need. You can follow an impulse, pause, change direction or simply stay where you are and notice what happens.
The movement itself becomes a place to practise staying in contact with yourself. You can experience yourself finding support, making a choice, setting a boundary, following something that feels alive, or responding with care when something feels vulnerable. These are no longer only things to understand. They become experiences lived through your own body.
This can give you a tangible experience of your own capacity and agency and of meeting what happens within you without leaving yourself in the process.
More than what happens inside the body
We don't experience ourselves in isolation. We are shaped by our history, by the people we are with, by the relationships we enter into and by what is happening around us.
This is why contact is an important part of Felt Sense Flow®. When you can sense what is happening within you while also being in contact with someone else, you have more to orient yourself by. You might notice that you pull away even though you want to come closer, that you say yes while something in you hesitates, or that you become so absorbed in another person that you lose some of the contact with yourself.
What we sense is not necessarily the final answer. A bodily sensation can very quickly become charged with feeling, thought and meaning, often carrying something of our history with it.
Part of the practice is learning to come closer to the sensation itself, before it gets caught in a loop of reactions, thoughts and meaning. In that process, we can become more finely attuned to what we are actually sensing, and begin to distinguish between the sensation itself and everything that has become attached to it.
When we can stay in contact with our own experience while also being in contact with the world around us, the work begins to open into larger questions about relationship, choice, longing and how we want to live. It is also part of why Felt Sense Flow has become more than a movement practice for me.
Many ways of understanding a human being
Felt Sense Flow® has grown out of my work as a dancer, body therapist and somatic therapist, and through many years of studying and working with body psychology, trauma, developmental psychology, the nervous system, meditation, breathwork, yoga, Chinese medicine and energetic work.
I use that knowledge and experience. I just don't believe that one system can explain a whole human being.
These different fields give me different places to look from. Sometimes a psychological perspective helps us understand something. Sometimes the body brings something into view that we had not seen before. And sometimes the most interesting thing we can do is stay with what we don't yet understand.
Experience Felt Sense Flow®
Felt Sense Flow can be experienced in different ways, through individual work, groups and courses, or as part of workshops, retreats and collaborations.
Work with me 1:1
If there is something in your life you want to explore more deeply, I offer longer 1:1 processes where we work through conversation, the body, movement and therapeutic work.
The first step is a free 20-minute connection call. We meet, you can tell me a little about what brings you here, and we can explore whether working together feels like the right next step.
Groups, classes & courses
I offer groups, classes and courses where we explore Felt Sense Flow through guided embodied practice, movement and free dance. Some are shorter explorations, while others give us time to go more deeply into a particular theme.

Workshops, retreats & collaborations
I also bring Felt Sense Flow into workshops, retreats, cultural and health projects, and other collaborative settings.
If you are interested in bringing Felt Sense Flow into something you are creating, I would love to hear from you.
