Body Poem
Capturing your body’s unique, beautiful language for sensation, impulse & imagery.
A meditative, guided session to collect the words for the particular, private way your body holds pleasure, resilience and joy – and turn them into something you can hold in return.
Try asking your heart for directions.
It’s been waiting years to show you home. Speak in your own tongue, it’s the only one that fits your mouth. Strip off every story that wasn’t yours until your throat tastes like truth.
– Christopher Sexton
An invitation to slow down, nuzzle in close and map the beautiful, unfolding landscape of your internal world.
Your body is already writing a masterpiece. It speaks in the language of sensation, impulse and imagery; the slow thaw of a tight shoulder, the cool slide of air in the throat, a sudden drumbeat behind the ribs, and the prickle of skin remembering delight.
We’ll step into an online sanctuary where I’ll offer gentle, guided prompts and we’ll follow the threads of your imagery, story and felt sense. We’ll honour whatever arises, but always steer toward the light of what brings you comfort and delight.
I act as scribe while you speak your somatic truth. I gather your spoken words and weave them into a live, collaborative draft on our call. Afterward, I typeset and design your poem into a stunning piece of personalised word art.

You don't need to bring any poetic skill or pre-written ideas. In fact, the less you think, the better. I will guide you into a state of deep calm, and we will simply track what your body is experiencing in the moment. Even if you only speak in single words, simple sensations or abstract images, I will gather those fragments and weave them into medicine.

While our primary compass during the session steers toward pleasure, joy, and your natural resilience, somatics honours the whole truth of your body. If grief, tension or heaviness arises, we don't push it away. We meet it with profound softness and follow its impulse. Your poem will hold space for all of you.

Toward the end of our 45 minutes, I will read a live draft of your poem back to you while we are still on the call. This is a collaborative, vulnerable and often very moving moment. You get to hear how your body sounds and you’ll have opportunity to change a word or clarify a feeling.

This space is deeply inclusive of all bodies, nervous systems and ways of processing. If your body feels distant, we can work with external imagery, memories, the texture of the air in the room or abstract colours and shapes. If your body is in pain, we can practice finding the quiet, neutral spaces around it, or give a voice directly to that discomfort without judgment. We will completely adapt the prompts to suit your unique blueprint and pacing. You cannot do this wrong.
