For me, inclusive practice is an essential expression of the respectfulness, honouring, and heartfelt care that is foundational to my work. Here, I write of practice that welcomes and makes space – literally – for people with large bodies.

Watch here a videoed conversation between Grief Tending Facilitator Sarah Pletts and me about our work with people who are grieving, whether from bereavement or another form of loss. Together, we share and reflect upon the nature of living, losing, and the process of grieving (57 min).

Given the inextricable connection between body and mind, sensitive and holistic bodywork can be an excellent support to the talk therapy process.

Those of us who work with people therapeutically in any way, are working with the whole person - whether we recognise it or not.

Our hands could at once be seen as the most practical and the most revealing part of our body.
