A warm welcome
Hi I'm Giles, a sound practitioner, artist and somatic therapist
Sound, Art and Somatic work complement perfectly, as they create more space and stilness internally.
This is crucial to help facilitate any blocked and stuck emotions, trauma or conditioned thinking and inherited patterns of behaviour to start gradually and gently dissolving.
This leads to a groundswell of being, where creative and life force energy can flow unimpeded and be expressed more easily.
I love to come down to the sea with my drum and connect and commune with nature.
It’s ever-changing, and a constant reminder of the impermanence of all things. Nothing stays the same. The sound and ferocity of the waves, the wind, the birds fluttering on the breeze, sun, rain, clouds. It’s the same for our moods, thoughts, feelings and emotions too.
Being in nature is one of the quickest and most surefire ways to help ground and get into a state of presence. Combine this with sound - be it voice, drum or other instruments and anchored in intention, grounded and centred in your body and you create a magical healing space and opportunity that resounds far and wide.
My work
Sound
I hold regular monthly sound baths and one-to-one sessions in a beautiful sacred loft space dedicated to sound healing in my house. I’m available for corporate clients who are interested in sound baths for their staff wellbeing. I collaborate with yoga, shamanic and other sound practitioners and do regular kirtans and vocal toning circles.
Art
My art is a complete flow and surrender to the present moment, that is why I call them Now Signature drawings. For most of my life, I was a "frustrated artist", hampered by my own preconceptions of not being a "proper artist with formal training". Through working with sound and somatics I have been able to tap into a whole new vast arena that has allowed me to shed a lot of the baggage that were obstacles to being in the flow and tapping into a surge of creative energy and expression which has been bursting out of me.
Somatics
My own healing journey has taken me on some long and winding roads to explore many modalities. When I discovered somatic work and the wisdom of the body to heal and release from the cognitive functioning of our mind, conditioned thinking, patterns of behaviour, stored emotions and held trauma, my life really took off in ways I could not have envisaged before.
