The Path Home

A counsellor and facilitator, yes, but most importantly a human who is continually recognising, unfolding and remembering whilst walking this path.

My work is an inquiry into what it means to be fully alive: to live inside this body, to recognise and inhabit your own truth, and to stop explaining yourself to the world. It weaves together integrative somatic therapy, breathwork, nutritional therapy, embodied movement, sacred ceremony, energetics and body work.

I didn't come to this work through study alone. I came to it through the fire of my own lived experience.

For over a decade, I lived through anorexia, bulimia and addiction coupled with crippling anxiety and depression. Alongside that came years of hormonal disruption, chronic digestive issues, insomnia and a profound disconnection and dissociation from my body and self.

I tried everything: psychotherapy, CBT, hypnotherapy, medications, various forms of clinical treatment, and I even found myself in residential rehab, twice. It wasn't until I turned toward my body and became genuinely curious about what I was carrying and holding, the trauma, the shame, the parts I was battling within, and began working with my body rather than against it, that something finally began to shift.

Just as I was finding my way back to my body, I suffered a debilitating spinal injury, and the chronic pain that followed asked something new of me. I had to return to the way I held and lived in my body, all over again, in a different way, in a different form, learning to trust a body that, once again, I felt completely disconnected from.

What I've come to see is that the different processes I've moved through, in how I hold and meet my body, were never separate. On the surface, they showed up in different forms, but the return :: the journey - has always been the same one. It's still unfolding, as it always will. Slowly, gently, with presence and devotion, I began to call back the parts of me I had been running and hiding from. I learned, and I am still learning daily, to gently come home to myself again, and to trust the intelligence that has always existed within.

The journey continues to bring me back to life. And it forms the foundation of everything I hold space for now.

Lily Isobel, somatic therapist and breathwork facilitator

Professional training always provides the foundations and container but life experience gives depth, resonance, heart and most of all, humanness.

My professional training in the fields and modalities I work with began over a decade ago and provides the structure, science, and therapeutic grounding that underpin my work. Alongside that, it's been through my own lived experience and the willingness to go touch my depths that have shaped what I actually know in my bones rather than just in my head. That's where real wisdom lives, not in any single training, but in what's been explored, questioned, and lived through.

Since 2018, I have been deepening my work within ceremonial spaces, working closely with Indigenous wisdom carriers across Central and South America. My path has included deep personal study with traditional healing traditions rooted in the wisdom of the Earth. Through this study, I support and hold others through profound journeys of healing and their integration. I hold these lineages with humility, reciprocity and reverence when I weave these teachings into my work and the spaces I hold. They have shaped the way I guide through grounded presence, energetic awareness and reverence to honouring what is sacred.

I am committed and eternally grateful to this path of eternal learning and unlearning, discovering and rediscovering on this journey we call life.

Outside of all of this, you will usually find me outside with the animals, in the fields, in the woods, by rivers or near the ocean. Around sacred fires, dancing barefoot and singing. Learning about plants and creating potions from the gifts of the land. Collecting handmade traditional textiles and art on my travels. And mostly, always returning to presence - with my breath, with my body, and with life.
