Hey! I’m Mardi.

A Bodyworker and Visual Artist. 

My personal journey has been fairly tedious. I grew up with a Spinal Condition known as Scoliosis, garnering a lot of chronic pain in my early years, that started roughly around age 8.

This led me to seek surgery, not really knowing what other paths could lead me out of the distress I was currently experiencing. I did end up having Spinal Fusion surgery…that went wrong. Leading to many complications, two more surgeries later led to me removing the metal work entirely, but later taking on quite a severe addiction to my pain medication: Co-codamol.

Pain and suffering is something I have been familiar with my whole life, a heavy body with tension patterns that felt like impenetrable armour. Breath that is shallow, legs that are weak, heart that is heavy.

Body of Emotions comes from this desire to share a way out that might not require invasive operations and medications. But instead looks at the root of emotional repression, and how these emotions we learnt to deny, may be the culprit for our increased states of suffering.

I feel lucky in many ways to have found this path that traverses and reverses this suffering: through the understanding of the mind-body connection.

My hope is to empower you with the tools to reverse your own emotional repression, coming into safe meeting with your body once again.
