My fellow Highly Sensitive Human, it's nice to have you here.
I know, as a sensitive human myself, how overwhelming it can be to feel so deeply.
​
Overthinking, emotional overwhelm, physical aches and pains, sleepless nights ...
they're some of the challenges we can face as sensitive folk.
And yet, there's a power in your sensitivity, isn't there?
A depth that feels important, even in its vulnerability and tenderness.
Here, in the SelfKind Hub, we celebrate the strengths that come with our sensitivity, while exploring how to navigate the trickier bits.
Our work here (but not in that icky productivity-centred use of the word!) is embodiment: exploring the inherent connection between mind and body.
The ultimate goal? A self-compassionate and kind relationship with ourselves;
and a greater confidence riding the highs and lows that come with this human life.
Mindful movement is at the heart of the SelfKind Hub.
On-demand classes that you can do from the comfort of your own space (and regular livestream options too!)
When you move with curiosity and
self-compassion, things shift.
You loosen the armour that has protected your tenderness. Shoulders soften, belly unclenches, the breath deepens.
Ahhh ... you're home.

Inside the SelfKind Hub, you will develop a toolbox of movement and mindset practices you can draw upon to help you unwind physical tension, navigate emotional overwhelm, self-criticism and doubt, and manage the impact of stress.
Your high sensitivity can be embraced and nurtured into a superpower!
The classes inside the hub are pretty unique - somatic exercise with a bit of gentle yoga and pilates in the mix. These classes ask you to move slowly and gently but they still deliver BIG time on increasing ease, mobility and comfort.
​
And it's not just about the body - through these classes you will foster more self-compassion, kindness, trust and understanding.
What is Somatic Exercise?
Somatic Exercise is a mindful movement modality that uses pandiculation to create more ease in the body. While it sounds like a big, complicated word, pandiculation isn't actually unfamiliar - just think of the movement of a big, full body yawn.
Essentially, somatic exercise involves a muscular contraction followed by a slow release, finished off with a moment of melt (aaaah).
We generally pandiculate specific areas of the body in any one movement, to support the brain-body connection (which matters a lot when it comes to reducing pain and tension and increasing ease) and to shift tension in that area.
Somatic exercise is not stretching (though we do stretch in classes as well); it's not strength training (though it can support strength training significantly). It's a brain-body technique that can reduce tension and enhance your capacity to listen to and connect with your body through slow, mindful, gentle movement.
​
What's inside the SelfKind Hub?
Somatic Exercise classes and mindful movement sessions ranging from 5 - 60 minutes, designed to help you unwind tension and experience more ease. New classes are added every month. Access them on-demand any time, anywhere.
Classes tailored to specific needs - from reducing shoulder or hip tension to sessions that can be done in bed or in a chair.

​The SelfKind Hub could be for you if you are:
​
> Highly Sensitive!
​
> Ready to prioritise yourself. You know that the time and energy you put into looking after yourself increases your capacity to be and do all you desire in the world. And you're a realist - this isn't about moving to a cave so you can focus solely on yourself. But you're ready to move on from a culture that tells you selflessness is the gold-standard.
​
> Committed to your own wellbeing. You know that in order to make changes to the way you feel, you need to commit to showing up for yourself with consistency and you're ready for that.
​
> Curious about movement and the capacity of your body.​​
​
​
​
​
​​​​> Invested in caring for your mental wellbeing and understanding the mind-body intersection.
​
> Tired of dealing with constant muscle tension and not knowing what to do to shift it and manage it.
​
> Ready for new ways to manage emotional overwhelm and SO ready to learn ways to be kind and compassionate toward yourself.
​
> Looking to practice from home using on-demand and/or livestream classes.​​​​​

A little about me (Erica), founder of the SelfKind Hub; Registered Counsellor and Somatic Movement Coach.
​​
More than anything else, I consider my role to be being human with the people I share space with. What does that mean? When you choose to work with me, I meet you as a fellow human, figuring out this human life. Yes, I'm a counsellor and movement teacher. Yes, I have a lot of tools and stuff up my sleeve. But all of those labels and practices are strengthened by my deep commitment to holding space for our humanity.
As a recovering people pleaser and someone who has navigated anxiety, trauma and self-criticism, the most profound gift I can offer is a reminder that we're in this together.
​
My values centre around compassion, curiosity, honesty and presence.
​
I'm a mum. A writer. A chocolate-chip cookie lover. A roller-skater. A book-aholic. A budding plant-parent. Lover of crazy socks.
​
I like to laugh, listen to my music loud, and I'm currently learning to speak French.
Hi! I'm Erica.
I'm so pleased you're here
