Where are you based?

Do you offer guidance during sessions?
Absolutely. Creating a calm, supportive, and judgment-free environment is a core part of my practice. Sessions are guided at a pace that feels comfortable, with gentle direction and space to be yourself. You’ll receive gentle posing direction, movement prompts, and encouragement throughout the session to help you feel grounded and confident. My approach is candid, collaborative, and care-centered. I focus on presence, connection, and storytelling rather than stiff posing or perfection.

PREPARATION & CARE
1
What should I wear to my session?
After booking, you’ll receive a preparation guide with styling tips. I encourage clients to wear clothing that feels comfortable, authentic, and supportive of how they want to feel. Not just how they want to look.
