Balancing Her

Feel like something is off in your body, but you haven’t found real answers yet?

I've realised, I over complicated my session descriptions and potential clients were worried they were picking the wrong treatment - Hello people pleaser 👋🏻

I was trying to cover all bases, to get the message across that "whatever you are going through, I can help"
But it lead to confusion.

I get a good amount of my new client bookings in the middle of the night, when she finally has some quiet time, can't sleep, or when she's looking for someone to help.

So now it's simple, you don’t need to choose the “right” treatment before you arrive.
You don't need to be put in a box or labelled.
You're not too much
Your symptoms aren't too much
Your trauma isn't too much.

You can stop second guessing and just come in.

I accept all of you, I can handle all of you.

Each session is guided in real time by what your body needs.

See you soon

Meet Julianne, my newest team member at Balancing Her.

When Julianne first came in the first thing I noticed was how calm her presence is.

Some people just naturally have that steadiness about them, and that is exactly how you feel when you are around her.

Her energy makes you feel safe to relax and that is the whole vibe of Balancing Her - a space that feels safe for your nervous system to rest.

Julianne is my Lymphatic & Remedial Massage therapist and she actually joined me in January so I'm a bit late with this formal introduction.

However she's already gained quite the number of clients and repeat visits already without any sort of introduction.

She is available Wednesday from 8am and Saturdays until 5pm
(But I want her to book out every week so she can come and work with me more days 😅)

If you are looking for a new massage therapist, then look no further than Julianne.

It wasn't easy letting part of my business go but I am truly grateful for her and that she's been able take some of the load off me 💕

I’ve finally found a space where I belong.
Not by fitting in or following what others are doing, but by listening to my body long enough to let it lead.

I've learnt a lot from my body and the 2500+ hours of working with bodies.

This year feels like alignment, not effort.

I’m working differently.
I’m listening differently.
I’m speaking differently.
Less noise. More truth.
The body sets the pace now.
I will share more of what I know.

I was crowned Queen of the Nervous System and I'm owing it.

Over the past 2 years I've been working within myself, to reach this level of regulation so this was a great compliment to receive.

For her sessions in particular, I wasn't doing any nervous system work per se, it's that she felt her guard dropping as soon as she entered my space and he system attuned to mine.

Some people come in and think they're booking a massage.
But what actually happens is their nervous system meets mine…
and remembers how to soften,
how to breathe again,
how to stop bracing against life for a minute.

It’s two bodies talking long before the words start.
It’s safety without explanation.
It’s regulation without effort.
It’s the kind of calm you can’t fake or force - you can only be it.

This is why my clients feel different with me.
It’s not that I do “more” or something "magical."
It’s that I hold differently.

And when someone is attuned to you like that,
their healing begins the moment they walk in the door.

My treatment room is my safe space, it's the place where I become the most embodied version of myself. I'm calm, I'm grounded and I'm able to hold you, all versions of you are safe to simply be.

Now don't get me wrong, there's still an over stimulated version of Sophie, but she's appearing less and less these days and I can't explain how amazing that is. Totally life changing.

My final sentence that you need to hear -
I once was just like you ✨

The Modern Spiritual Woman

Yes, I’ve had the dark nights.
I’ve been at the bottom, lost, exhausted, unsure how to climb out.
I’ve cried, I’ve questioned, I’ve faced my shadow.
I’ve done the deep work that cracked me open.

But now that I’ve reached the other side,
I can see it didn’t have to be so heavy.
It took me longer, and it was harder than it needed to be, confused with the spiritual lingo, thinking I had wounds to heal, that I was broken.
I didn’t know the way.
But I’ve been there.
I’ve walked it.
And I’ve figured out how to make it lighter.
Now I can show you how to rise
without suffering through it the way I did.

I’m here to show women what it really looks like to be spiritual and still a modern-day woman.
I don’t use spiritual language that confuses or separates.
“New Earth”? To me, that just means creating a life you love living.
“Ascending”? That’s just feeling better about yourself, feeling good inside.
"Go inwards"? That's just making friends with your body.

There’s no spiritual hierarchy.
There's no I’m better than you because I’ve done more work on myself or because I’m "more spiritual".
Because I’m not.
I’ve just remembered
and I’m here to help you remember too.

I don’t meditate for hours.
When I do, I usually fall asleep
and instead of being angry about that,
I realised that maybe rest is exactly what my body needs right now.
That is my meditation.

My meditation also happens when I’m driving, when I’m moving, when life itself becomes a rhythm.

I still feel deeply,
but I don’t stay stuck in the story.
I notice what’s there,
and I let it move through me.
No labels. No shame. Just presence.

I don’t believe healing has to be hard.
I’ve lived the hard way
and I’m here to show you the gentle way.

Healing can be grounded.
It can be light.
It can look like a woman who goes to the gym,
drives her kids to school,
builds a business,
laughs with her friends,
enjoys cocktails
loses her temper
and still feels deeply connected to her soul.

That’s what spirituality looks like in the modern world.
And that’s what I’m here to show you.

I see this at my gym A LOT. It makes me so uncomfortable to watch, so I had to do a post about it.

Women pushing their bodies past their safety barrier.

It's not because they did gymnastics as a child!!

It's because their body doesn't know when to stop.

Bodies aren't made to stretch out that far, to keep going, there should be some resistance.

Nervous system - by going past the natural stopping barrier it's not allowing your body to feel safe - when is this going to end, where is the boundary of safety.

Emotionally - you're not listening to your body, you aren't turned into your boundaries.

If this is you
Stretching isn’t your medicine right now.
Stability is.
Containment is.
Learning that strength and support can feel just as beautiful as openness.

Reconnect your mind and body
Create safety and work on those boundaries, both physically and mentally.
