Join this 2 hour workshop to experience a foundational movement practise that wakes up felt senses, allowing embodied trust, repair and empowerment to come online. Learn about the physiology of trauma and how it shows up in the body. Practise how movement can become a support instead of your trauma response. RiiVIVE is a trauma-informed method that every body can access, turning renegotiation into revival.
The RiiVIVE Story
I began to develop a movement method out of sheer necessity.
I needed to heal, and wanted to move again, free of pain, and full of joy and pleasure.
As a child, movement was my life—from when I was three years old until seventeen, I danced in a group which became my sisterhood—friends who felt like home.
When I had children of my own, I experienced chronic pain from the pregnancies. And by then I had graduated from fitness college, and worked as a personal trainer, lifestyle coach and fitness facility manager in corporate settings.
I had studied exercise physiology but quickly realized it only reached the surface of my wounds.
When it came to healing trauma, I was lost. And stuck—literally.
When my first born was only a few months old I became stuck on the floor, holding him. I panicked from the fear, waiting for my husband to come home and lift us off the floor.
Soon after, I began searching for knowledge that would help me repair my body.
The understanding I was looking for seemed hidden—broken into pieces, and scattered across the world.
I first looked at Pilates, and began learning about using movement to heal, and around the same time I focussed on learning as much about pelvic health as possible.
The pieces of the puzzle began to form a picture: I realized you can restore your body through movement. Over many years I discovered the fascial system, Somatic Experiencing, breath work, and learned about trauma-informed care.
The RiiVIVE method was born from this work. My journey helped me to develop a holistic approach to movement restoration and healing. My clients come to me to restore their core, heal old injuries, alleviate chronic pain, process trauma, heal from boundary rupture or neglect, access healthy attachment, stress management, or a need for clarity in life.
It’s my passion to turn pain into pleasure, held tension into movement, and to support your revival as you renegotiate old patterns.
