I’m Mardi.
A bodyworker and visual artist.
I came to somatic work after struggling with chronic pain in my spine, that began at the tender age of 8. Receiving a diagnosis of scoliosis, I ended up having spinal fusion surgery that went wrong, resulting in 2 more surgeries to remove dislodged metalwork. This experience ultimately resulted in an 8 year long addiction to my pain medication: Co-Codamol.
Body of Emotions comes from my experience with deep suffering in varying forms. I feel lucky in many ways to have found a path that traverses and reverses this suffering: through the understanding of the mind-body connection and emotional repression work.
I hope to empower you with the tools to reverse your own emotional repression, coming into safe meeting with your body once again.
