In this captivating episode we sit down with the divine creator that is Ash Bond; international yoga teacher & trainer, University Lecturer and Author of the highly anticipated 3-part series Peregrine Quinn and the Cosmic Realm (due for release April 2024, Piccadilly Press).

Ash is known and adored for her ability to cultivate the voices of others - a practice she has been personally honing since her earliest years putting pen to paper.  Stories - mythic, poetic or personal - are her fascination - both those we carry and those we tell. 

In our conversation we explore the profound power of the word; debunking what it means to be a "yoga teacher"; why "permission" is so critical to healthy movement and creativity; and the vast wonders a breakdown can do to re-set your life. 

Ever humble, Ash accredits her success to luck and the fostering influence of some very significant humans. Those that hear her might think otherwise...  Dive into an hour of untempered soul-food.

Welcome to another inspiring episode of Finding Your Way Home, where we dive into the remarkable stories of the leading figures shaping mind-body health.

No less so today's guest: International Pilates guru and pelvic health expert, Claire Sparrow.

Claire offers an extraordinary depth of skill and experience in movement, education and mindset.  A Pilates Educator for International training school Polestar Pilates (https://polestarpilates.com/), successful studio owner and Founder of the Whole Body pelvic Health Movement - a membership collective and mentorship school fostering deep, integrated pelvic healing.  She is a seasoned podcaster via platform "Reimagining You" and most recently, author of first and *Best-Selling* book "Hope for your Pelvic Floor".

In today's episode we dive into Claire's unique journey - from her dancing roots in Scotland to training with Pilates legend and Joseph Pilates disciple, Lolita San Miguel. We talk EMPOWERMENT - and how influential this is in the topic of pelvic health. How critical it is for all women to understand their physiological foundations, to believe in their agency, and ultimately, to give themselves the permission to take up space and significance. 

Claire sows a profound message in everything she does - that hope is possible, the we are far more talented and able than we could possibly imagine, and that aligned action lead to irrefutable results. She pledges to be the message for everyone she touches - to be their champion in creating powerful new realities.

In today's episode we dive into the unique story of Patrick Geary - US Astrologer, Writer, Intuitive Coach and former Child Rights Lawyer for the UN. 

Patrick represents an extraordinary intersection of head and heart.  A man of intellect, analysis and passionate social calling, who nonetheless found himself at 30 questioning the structures, beliefs and career he was so "successfully" living.  His is a powerful demonstration of listening to your body, allowing intuition to speak, and consciously suspending intellect & control to let the magic in.  His journey since has been one of profound personal and professional transformation.  His role now? Leading coaches, creatives and entrepreneurs back to their deepest, innate wisdom.

Join us as we unravel the potency and meaning of astrology in our daily lives; how to move through the paralysing wall of fear and uncertainty; the powerful lessons our bodies have to teach us; and how to re-shape our beliefs to radically liberate our lives. For my soulful listeners open to new horizons, this is an episode you're not going to want to miss...

Sam Ellis is a man of many hats. Ultramarathon runner, former squash athlete, photographer, videographer and most recently, Breath-work Practitioner - helping others to find ease in the eeriness of quiet. 

He's testament to the profound power of embracing challenge - and as you’ll hear, of actively moving toward the places of greatest discomfort. For Sam, it’s when we touch into these parts of ourselves - the fears, hesitations, edges of our ability - that the greatest lessons come. And through this, the deepest growth. 

We discuss ultra-endurance sport and what it has to teach us; the terror-wall of stillness; how important it is to go inwards and the equal liberation of lightness - to simply be, without agenda, without script, without needing to be always “adult”. It was an incredible, rich conversation that I can’t wait for you to soak up. 

Get ready for dulcet South Western tones and everything you wanted to know about learning through your polarities…

What better way to start Season 2 of Finding Your Way Home than with the profound soul-insights of Cristy de la Cruz.  I hope you enjoy listeners...

Cristy is a US-born coach, somatic practitioner, podcaster, writer and editor.  She is the author of Unleash, Unlearn, and Enliven: Seven Micro-practices to Engage Your Somatic Wisdom.  She hosts the Somatic Wisdom podcast, offering whole body practices to live well in changing times.  And in her not-so-spare time, Cristy acts as a coach, supporting leaders and professionals with busy minds to deepen their intuition and more fully express their gifts in the world. 

As we explore in the episode, Cristy is living proof of the ability to transform not just what you do, but who you are and how you relate to the world.  In 2018, she stepped away from an intensive career in clinical research - a move that was both voluntary and deeply necessitated by the signals from her body.  What followed was a period of deep "stilling" - facing unhealed aspects, softly re-connecting with her physicality and cultivating a gentler, more authentic way of being.  Deeply fuelled by her love of writing and teaching, she received her 200-RYT in Soma Yoga in 2019; the gateway to her career in the holistic & coaching space.  

It was a beautiful conversation, moving through Cristy's personal journey, the clarifying quality of breakdown and burnout, accessing the body as a tool for healing, and how to find the quiet with a neurodivergent brain.  A must-listen for anyone curious about career transition, somatic healing and consciously navigating ADHD.

In this immense episode, we explore the profound significance of the birthing process and why, as our speaker describes, a "Conscious Birth" experience is so vital to the wellbeing of both mother and child. 

Charlotte Mindel is a British-born Birth Coach, focused on putting power back into the hands of women giving birth.  She works holistically with mothers and their families to support all elements of the birthing experience - from education on the physiology of pregnancy / birth to awakening internal awareness, building positive mind-set and ultimately, offering parents the agency to choose the sort of birth that's right for them. 

In Charlotte's view, Western birth has become a deeply disconnected experience - both for the expectant mother and within a wider society that isolates and systematises the process and prescriptions. Her focus is on connecting mothers back to her intuition, growing their resources and the self-permission to follow a path that's truly authentic. She sees birth as a marker of the person - and therefore, as an immeasurable tool to find deeper personal alignment. 

As Charlotte describes, coaching "found her", after her own birth experience and the years of healing and self-connection that had preceded it.  She offers unique insight on the challenges and liberation of healing; its ability to reshape not only who you are but how richly and powerfully you live.

In this week's episode we sit down with International Movement Educator, Franklin Method and Functionality specialist, Tom Waldron.

Tom is a mine of information; not just on how the body is functionally designed to move, but on why diverse, sensorially-rich movement is so critical to our physical and emotional well-being.   Together we explore: his earliest moments of wonder for the world around him; how to find functionality and ease in your daily movement practice; navigating authority dynamics within a teaching environment; and why a love of what you do is so critical to the outcomes you experience...  Tom's passion is giving people the understanding to allow them to thrive in their chosen sport or way of life; and that warmth, humanity and pragmatism very much comes across in this conversation.  I hope you enjoy the listen!

In this week's episode we hear from award-winning Jazz singer Kate Mullins; Solo recording artist, Vocal Coach and perhaps best known as one of the 1940's-inspired vocal trio, The Puppini Sisters (signed by Universal Records in 2004).

Kate has undergone immense personal and professional transformation over the course of her, as yet young, lifetime.  From the early discovery of her voice to navigating fame, experiences of addiction and eventually, a dawning sense of dis-ease with the life she found herself living.

A major vocal rupture in 2020 changed everything - leading her down the painstaking path of physical healing and beyond that, into deep, foundational change.  Now singing again, married, with a young child and new country life, we hear her unique story: what happens when a world-class vocalist loses her voice; a life without crutches; the raw power of one's emotions; and how to rebuild when everything you think you are is stripped away.

In this week's episode, we have the joy of hearing from ray of light, celebrity-studded Nail Artist, Robbie Tomkins.

Robbie is a friend, a fellow spiritual traveller and as you will hear, the absolute embodiment of change through action. His persistence in feeling, exploring and working his way beyond his barriers is remarkable. 

In this special episode, we hear about his journey through challenge and into grace.  From a pressurised career in Public Relations, battling undiagnosed addiction and crippling body dysmorphia , into recovery, self-love and a form of faith that is both personal and utterly essential to the life he now lives.

As Robbie explains; joy, success and the deep love he now shares with partner Joel have come not through willpower or effort, but by the ability to let go, day after day.  The simple act of waking up, connecting to a power greater than himself and taking the guided action have transformed his experience - not to mention his outer world.  We become that which we tune in to; what better evidence of this than Robbie's story.

Phoebe Liebling, aka Natural Nourishment, is an internationally-celebrated Nutritional Therapist, recipe-developer & health consultant. In tandem with her role as Clinical Director of private practice Natural Nourishment Nutrition and Wellbeing, she is Co-Founder of the supplement consultancy brand Nutri Tailor and holistic retreat business, The360.

Phoebe is a champion of both mind-body integration (thus our kinship) and empowerment through education and understanding. She believes passionately in the critical role of nutrition in long-term health; and, that this resource should be accessible to all, irrespective of financial barrier or prior experience. Her goal is that all clients, regardless of condition or personal circumstance, learn to heal themselves through the choices they make around food, their lifestyle habits and emotional wellbeing.

In this rare episode, recorded in Autumn 2023, we hear Phoebe's personal story - the physical history that almost broke her and, in its recovery, forged her passion for enhancing the lives of others.  We discuss the limitations of public healthcare, the dangers of a one-size model of nutritional health, how emotionally complex our relationships with food can be, and how to rebuild if you sense a problem.  In a moment of personal vulnerability, Phoebe discusses the difficulty of asking for help, and how leaning into that discomfort can lead to powerful change.

Phoebe is a true activist for change; utterly dedicated to the work and its ever-wider public reach. To find out about accessing her work, including Nutri Tailor supplementation offers and her upcoming Nicaragua retreat this January, please visit:
