What if running longer and stronger wasn’t about pushing harder—but about moving with presences and intention?

I recently had the pleasure of collaborating on an article for RUSSH magazine, written by the lovely Genevieve Phelan, on the relationship between our nervous system and pelvic floor tension. Exploring how embodied awareness—developed through somatic movement—can be combined with the strengthening and mobility work of Pilates to calm the nervous system and help release deep-held tension.

Together, we explored how each element lives within our soma—creating a quiet co-regulation between bodies and land, between individual breath and collective rhythm.

When mental health is approached through the body, we move beyond the cognitive and are no longer trying to overthink our way out of distress. Instead, we’re offering the body the chance to feel, express and be heard in it’s authenticity.
