Our nervous systems are constantly processing information from the environment. In times of stress or overwhelm, somatic practices can help us regulate our responses and find balance.


Here are some ways to begin:


Breathing: Deep, slow breaths can activate the parasympathetic nervous system (the relaxation response), helping to calm the body.


Grounding: Stand or sit with your feet firmly planted on the ground. Visualise roots extending from your feet into the earth.


Body Scans: Close your eyes and bring awareness to each part of your body, noticing any tension or discomfort. Allow each area to soften.


Movement: Gentle movements, like swaying or stretching, can help release built-up tension and allow your nervous system to reset.


These practices create space for your nervous system to regulate itself, reducing stress and promoting relaxation.

Remind yourself to stay curious and compassionate. Re-connecting to your nervous system and (re)embodying a sense of ‘safety’ from the inside out is a moment-to-moment journey.

As Western bodied human-beings we experience ever-changing and evolving emotions, sensations and interactions. Our lived-reality is non-linear, so what feels comfortable one day may not meet you in the same way the next day – and that’s more than okay.

You don’t have to be perfect.

You’re allowed to be messy and chaotic.

You don’t have to have it all figured out.

However you show up, in whatever way these tools may or may not align with you – you are enough just the way you are.

Spaces Between

ByConnie Mae

In the in-between moments—before the explanation, after the breath—our bodies speak. This post explores the space between movement and stillness, memory and expression. It’s a reminder that even in silence, your body holds a language of its own, one shaped by all you’ve felt, forgotten, and are still learning to remember.

What’s my bald story?

What’s my bald story?

ByConnie Mae

Being born bald wasn’t just the beginning of my story—it was the beginning of unlearning everything the world taught me about femininity, identity, and worth. In this post, I explore the realities of living with a rare condition, Monilethrix, and the complexity of wearing wigs—not as costume, but as confrontation. From wig wearing and baldness, to inner narratives and outer expectations, I share how I’m learning to meet my discomfort, name my truth, and rewrite the story of what it means to be human beneath the surface.

Rooted in the Pause

ByConnie Mae

Before we grow, we root. Here is a soft returning to the body’s truth, and a gentle rebellion against the demand to always be in bloom.

Movement – It’s a collective unlearning.

ByConnie Mae

What if movement wasn’t something to perform, but something to remember?
At Treacle Movement, we invite you into a conversation with your body—rooted in noticing, choice, and curiosity. This blog explores movement not as a task, but as a tender act of self-advocacy and collective unlearning. You don’t need to be more flexible or focused—you just need to begin where you are. And from there, we move together.

Transform and Transition through Dis-ease

ByConnie Mae

Dis-ease isn’t just about symptoms—it’s a signal. A subtle (or sometimes loud) conversation between your body and your awareness. In this piece, I explore what it means to honour discomfort not as something to fix, but as something to feel.
