You're the one they turn to...
You’ve chalked up achievements, done all the things you were ‘meant to do’. And yet, when asked what brings you joy, you draw a blank. You’ve read that midlife can be transformational, yet somehow, you feel like you’re disappearing…
​
I’m Jo, Master Somatic Practitioner and Elder in training and I’m here to tell you you’re not alone, and this isn’t your fault - this is shame and trauma at play, and shame is the foot soldier of the patriarchy. It’s been silencing, keeping women small for years.
​
The medicine you seek is a modern, embodied matriarchy. Healing can’t happen from inside the systems that perpetuate this power-over dynamic. Instead we must adopt a with and within approach that illuminates and embraces the parts of ourselves we've exiled in a bid to fit in.
​
When we do, we break ancestral cycles, dismantle the fear that keeps us small and come back to ourselves, to embodied presence, to life.
​
The time, your time, is now.
“I found Focalizing by chance and after speaking with Jo, I just knew that it was going to be the glue that brought together the different offerings I had. It has been a life changing experience personally, letting go of a lot of shame and giving myself permission to accept parts of myself that I would usually reject in the past. I am excited to be able to hold deeper, more trauma informed space for my clients going forward.”

Reclaiming Modern, Embodied Matriarchy – a manifesto
Shame is the foot soldier of the patriarchy.
But this is a battleground that needs no weapons to win.
The medicine is matriarchy.
With shared power
With embodied presence
We can break the ancestral cycles
So women, gather and embrace all the parts of you that have been exiled through shame.
Let crones and elders lead the path.
One that starts within and shapes things for those to come.
A reclamation of modern embodied matriarchy
The time is now.
