If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them
You'll find my FAQ's below but
please feel free to reach out to me.


-
Do I have to speak?There is never any pressure to speak in Circle. You are welcome to simply listen and be present if that feels right for you. The act of witnessing and being witnessed is a powerful part of the Circle space.
-
Do I need experience to join a Circle?No experience is needed at all. Whether this is your first Circle or you’ve been attending them for years, you are warmly welcome. There is no right way to be in Circle — you can simply come as you are.
-
What is a Women's Circle?A Women’s Circle is a space where women gather in community, free from judgement and expectation. It is a space of deep listening, witnessing, sharing, and often quiet reflection. Circles invite us to step out of the rush of daily life and come home to ourselves and to each other.
-
What happens in a session?Each Circle is slightly different, but often includes opening a sacred space, sharing stories or poetry, guided reflection or meditation, and an opportunity for women to share their voices or simply listen. There may also be rituals, nature-based practices, or somatic invitations to help us connect with our bodies and the earth.
-
Why do we meet in Circle?Gathering in Circle is an ancient practice. It is a way of coming together as equals, without hierarchy or competition. In Circle we remember our interconnectedness, honour the cycles of nature, and create a space where authentic voice, grief, joy, and wisdom can all be welcome.
-
Is Circle a therapy group?No. While Circle can feel deeply nourishing and supportive, it is not a replacement for therapy. It is a communal space for connection, reflection, and shared humanity. We do not offer advice or seek to "fix" one another — instead, we listen deeply and honour each woman’s experience.
-
How are your Circle's different from other Circle's?My Circles are grounded in somatic awareness, nature-based wisdom, and deep listening. I bring my background in somatic coaching, grief work, nervous system support, and animist practices to the space, weaving in stories and ritual. Each Circle is an invitation to pause, to reconnect with yourself and the wider web of life.
-
How long do sessions last?I allow 90 minutes for each session. Sometimes a session might come to completion after an hour but I allow for and hour an a half so we have plenty of time to explore.
-
Is this work suitable if I have a chronic illness?Yes. I live with chronic health conditions myself, so I speak from experience when I say that I understand the body can sometimes feel like a battleground. Somatic coaching is not a cure, and I don’t offer it as one. But it can be a gentle, supportive way to begin reconnecting with your body in a more compassionate and trusting way. We go slowly, honouring your capacities. You’ll never be asked to push through or override what you’re feeling.
-
Do you offer consessions?My services are offered at a very reasonable rate compared to other somatic coaches. I've done this intentionally as I truly want this work to help the people that need it most. With that said, I am willing to offer consessions to anyone who would benefit from this work but the cost is still too prohibitive. I offer two pay what you can coaching sessions per month. If you are interested please reach out to me for a friendly conversation.
-
Do you offer payment plans?Yes. Payment plans are available for all three packages. Just speak to me beforehand and we can work something out.
-
How many sessions will I need?That’s entirely up to you. Some people come for one or two sessions to focus on something specific, others feel called to a longer journey. We can discuss what feels supportive and shape the path together.
-
What happens in a session?Each session is a spacious, collaborative process. We begin by checking in with what’s present for you, then gently explore through conversation, embodied awareness, and somatic practices. You’ll be guided to listen to your body, follow its cues, and notice what’s asking to be felt or expressed. Sometimes, that can feel like numbness but even numbness and not knowing is information to be curious about.
-
Do I need to have experience of this kind of work?Not at all. You’re welcome just as you are. Whether this is your first time exploring the body in this way, or you’ve been on a long healing path, we’ll go at your pace. Curiosity and willingness are all you need.
-
Do you offer Somatic Coaching to men?Yes, I do. While much of my work is centred around creating spaces for women, I also offer somatic coaching to men. This work is valuable and supportive for all bodies and genders.
-
Will I need to lie down or move around?Sometimes we’ll explore gentle movement or stillness. You’ll always be invited, never expected. This work is about choice, consent, and staying connected to what feels right for your body.
-
What results can I expect?There are no guarantees or quick fixes here. This isn’t a results-driven process—it’s a relationship, a conversation with your body, and a slow-burn remembering of who you are beneath the undigested life experiences and the adaptive behaviours your nervous system has created to keep you safe. This work isn't only about processing undigested life experiences, It also invites you to expand your portals of possibility, so that your nervous system has more capacity to meet life as it happens—to move with the ebb and flow, the rise and fall, without needing to shut down, numb out or push through. I can’t promise specific outcomes, because every person’s experience is as unique as they are. But I can promise to walk beside you, to hold a safe and reliable container where whatever arises is met with care, presence, and respect.
-
What kind of issues can we explore together?Somatic coaching can support you through many thresholds—grief, burnout, identity shifts, chronic illness, emotional numbness, disconnection from self or body, or simply a longing to feel more alive and at home in your skin. If you’re navigating a transition or seeking reconnection, this work can meet you there.
-
Is this the same as therapy?No, it’s not the same. While therapy often focuses on understanding and processing your thoughts, feelings, and past experiences through dialogue, somatic coaching invites you into a deeper relationship with your body as a source of wisdom and guidance. We work with the felt sense—what’s alive in you beneath the words—gently exploring how life has been stored in your body and what may be asking to shift, be heard, or be reclaimed. This is not a space for diagnosis. If something arises during our work together that feels outside the scope of coaching, we’ll talk about it and I may gently recommend that you seek the support of a therapist alongside or instead of our sessions. Working with a therapist and somatic coach at the same time can be a potent medicine but requires careful and considered communication and understanding of each person's scope of practice. It’s not about fixing, but about listening, softening, and slowly returning to yourself.
-
What is grief tending, and how is it different from therapy or counselling?The Wind Over the Water is a communal, ritual-based approach to tending to our grief that honours the body, the soul, and the wider web of life. It doesn’t aim to fix or analyse, but to create a space where grief can be expressed, witnessed, and held in community. While it can complement therapy, it is not a substitute for clinical or mental health support. I have created this journey using Francis Weller's six gates of grief as well as weaving in earth honouring - Animist practices
-
What if I miss a session?You’ll be held in the group’s heart even if you can’t be there. While sessions won’t be recorded for privacy reasons, you’ll receive gentle practices and reflections to support you between gatherings.
-
Are there any bursary places available if the cost feels out of reach?Yes. I believe this work should be accessible to those who feel called to it. If the cost is a barrier, one bursary place is available offering 50% off the full price. If this feels supportive for you, please reach out to me directly. No lengthy explanation is needed, just a simple request. You will be held with the same care and confidentiality as all participants.
-
What are the dates and times?All sessions will be held between 7-8.30pm on Zoom. September 2nd - opening Circle 16th 30th October 14th 28th November 11th 25th December 9th - closing Circle
-
What is the cost?As this is the first time I have run The Wind Over the Water, I'm offering it an introductory rate of £400 but there will also be early bird pricing when registration opens. You can pay in one lump sum or spread the cost over four months.
-
What happens in each session?Although the sessions vary, they include gentle grounding practices, guided reflection, nature-inspired ritual, and spacious time in Circle. We will also use elements of music, poetry, silence, and movement to help the body speak where words may sometimes falter. There will be invitations, not expectations.
-
Do I need to have experienced a recent bereavement to take part?Not at all. This journey welcomes all forms of grief — including ancestral grief, the grief of lost dreams, chronic illness, identity loss, relationship endings, environmental grief, and the quiet ache of longing. If your heart carries something that hasn’t had space to be named, it belongs here.
-
What will I receive?8 x 90 minute online grief Circle's. The sessions will include guided meditations, poetry, somatic practices and music one 1-1 Somatic Coaching session with Charlotte A small community of like-hearted people to journey with Optional WhatsApp group Home practices in between sessions: Enjoy access to a shared resource library of ritual practices, journalling excercies, recorded meditations and somatic practices to support you Grief tending playlist Curated reading, listening and watching resources
-
Can men join the Wind Over the Water?This container has been created for anyone that would like to to tend to their grief in community. All are welcome
-
Is this suitable if I’m currently feeling overwhelmed or in acute grief?This journey can offer a tender and supportive space, but it may not be the right fit if you are in the earliest stages of a very recent or traumatic loss. If you're unsure, you're warmly invited to get in touch and we can gently explore whether this is the right time for you.
