You may experience a slight change in cabin pressure...

When I was in my late 20s I went on my first ever vacation. I’d been working in jobs on and off for years, but never a salaried one, and never the kind in which you’re expected to take a vacation and fly off to Mexico for a pre-determined length of time to sit on a beach or have some kind of adventure with the deadline of a return flight.

Eventually a dear friend with whom I felt completely safe and accepted suggested we take a vacation. And so I did. We went to Jamaica, found a little place away from the noise of spring break type venues, and packed a stack of books each. Our plan, as I recall, was to sleep, read, soak up the sun, and perhaps drink some local rum. That was about it. 
​

Now ethnically here’s how I describe myself:

love song for ugly

how many times have you been informed
of this one true thing
did it happen when they shaved your head and the skin betrayed it’s blue through for the very first time
what demographic produces the pronouncement
out loud
inscrutable
and the clutching response
hot as ice
ineffable
how often are you reminded
of this one real fact
did it invade you like springtime when you tasted her salt-custard scent on your 
beloved one’s lips
what situation enforces the notion
with gusto 
unavoidable
and the bile that jumps
mustard jaundice
​unstoppable


sing me the moment. the season. the weather.
drop loose your maw and release the dangerous music.
wriggle us out of that tight dark bliss
into the dog-light of that declaration

show me the waste of your faith in belonging.

is your heart still practicing for the great recital? how long will you wait 
for redemption and beauty 
restoration
acceptance
the world to end

let me bear witness
and love you because
and not in spite of

is it right for you?

People often ask me about life on the water. My honest answer - 

It’s not easy. It’s not for everyone. It’s right for me.

Sometimes it’s easy. But not always, and not compared to life on land. It might be good for some people for a while. But not for most people, and not for very long. Mostly though, it’s worth it, and that’s because it’s right for me.
Picture
But enough about me. Let’s talk about you. What’s right for you? Would you like to be a little more clear, a little more sure? 

You probably already know that I’m your coach. I’m here to help you get clear about exactly what is right for you, right now. I’m also your aromatherapist. Together we can use the subtle and powerful medicine of plant extracts and oils to help you to heal, and to move towards your own perfect horizon.
​
And sometimes, if you’re lucky, you get to do these things aboard the boat. Her name is Betty, and she’s really quite special. Sitting on the boat, feeling the gentle movement of the water around you, and in close connection with nature, you just might find some peace, something true, some clarity that you hadn’t had before.
​
If you think it might be right for you, join me for a session on the boat. She’s now in Tottenham (nearest postcode N17 0XD) open to you for private appointments in coaching, aromatherapy, and massage. Click on the picture of that very special boat to book your appointment on one of the following days:

advanced anatomy for the practitioner

dig.
dig at the gristle between the meat and
the stone the bone the branch of the family tree
that digs heels into
history and the flesh the meat the promise of
action of animation of agility
dig at the stuff that links the two
the connective tissue that fascist the fascia
that tend/ons to bind
history
gets stuck into habits and habits and habits and habits
restrict inform allow
the limbs the bones to be enfleshed the flesh to be
stony the trunk to branch out and to
dig for secrets and roots and underground gatherings
 
dig your hands -- you knew it was coming –
dig your well informed phalanges towards the centre of my trembling:
the organs the fear
the stomach desire
the liver history
the spleen hope
the lungs music
the gonads dancing
we think with our heart
we feel with our head
we dig with our hands
and reach with our feet
 
where are you on this sloppy topography. which organ holds love
not the heart it is the
unseen the clinging the connecting the allowing
if my heart
if my muscle
moves without it nothing happens
the stone bones cannot think of action without
it
the idea manifests in this stuff
this shift
which binds
for which
i dig

(why my homework isn’t done)
 
his eyes are green. sorry. but they are.
green dreams green sea green
hope ringed in granite grey
i could never pronounce his name
 
crossing the quadrangle in a world of
abstract concerns i staggered my overwrought
mind directly into his mouth
 
he kisses me every time we meet
 
i can smell him between the pages of my
art history books
 
the question is always one of freedom:
revolution versus rebellion
and that form that encourages or
merely appeases that
filthy throbbing sacred need
for something better
 
i have been in the library every day this month
when he sees me there the kiss is a secret
in the chicken shop it comes with a kick
after history class he licks my teeth clean
 
sociology. anthropology.
kinesiology. psychology.
i recognise his morphology
in the slipping and flipping of my school book pages.
 
…
 
sitting in class
apologetic and eager
professor begs for synthesis.
my panties go damp

    About me.

    I am fascinated by the ways in which we do and don't embody our selves. I do my own kind of research, and coach people to live their truest lives. I practice healing and communication arts, and I write about all these things. I am a nomad, these days living and travelling on my boat in the U.K.

    My studies have focused on whether feminism works in practice, what a healthy body does, awkwardness as a sociological event, and the myriad means for communication and their effectiveness in interpersonal and socio-political contexts.
