Somatic and Menstruality Processing
A radical space that prioritises your embodied truth by gently allowing you to explore the tender parts of yourself that are waiting to be felt, seen and processed from within. Using a blend of practices and tools, these sessions encourage you to go on a journey of understanding your body's and cycle's innate wisdom as a source of therapeutic holding. These sessions are revolutionary in that they aim to provide an alternative to traditional counselling or psychotherapy routes, by offering a more whole body decolonised approach to healing. They provide a space to speak, feel and tend to any wounds, that does not pathologise, diminish or invalidate your experiences of living within a patriarchal society. My prayer for this offering is to provide a grounded space for women and femmes to come home to themselves, to process experiences and trauma, to begin to listen to their inner guide rather than external pressures and to begin to express themselves from an embodied space. I will walk alongside you as a sister, witness and guide offering tools as you go on this journey of healing, wisdom and truth.
"My session with Tamsin was absolutely incredible. Tamsin created a safe space to journey deeper into my womb relationship and wisdom and learn more about my body, intuition and signals. I left the session feeling empowered, balanced and a sense of calm within myself."

​
What’s involved?
The sessions can be a blend of somatic processing work, menstruality mentoring, embodiment practices, ritual and ceremony curated to your specific needs and intentions allowing for a flexible and person-centred approach.
​
Before working with me we will go through a thorough consultation which usually lasts around 75 minutes allowing for me to understand what you are hoping to process and gain from our time together. This will be a space for you to set intentions, state your needs and ask any questions. I use this information to create a plan for our work together. However, the sessions are flexible meaning that there is also space to work intuitively and respond to what is moving through you on the day of our session(s).
​
Sessions are held online via zoom and are 90 minutes per session. In between the zoom calls I keep in touch with you via email, offering further practices for you to do in your own time as well as integration support and resources. I am also available to offer email support for any struggles or questions and offer space for reflection throughout our time working together.
​
Block bookings are advised for this type of session however I do offer one-off sessions for a specific issue you would like support with.
Decolonised therapeutic model
These sessions aim provide a decolonised therapeutic space meaning they will:
-
Explore a holistic approach to tending to your needs and processing trauma, using a range of tools and practices rather than a cooker-cutter one size fits all approach to healing
-
Take into consideration the external factors such as capitalism, patriarchy, colonialism rather than pathologising and labelling you, your body or your experiences for not “fitting the mould”
-
Focus on ways to release from these systems and gently bring you home to your radical embodied truth, following your inner guide rather than outer societal pressures and expectations
-
Take the process slow and with lots of space to rest and process rather than moving at the fast societal pace
