HOLISTIC HARMONY
The Method
Stacey May’s Movement is Medicine class allows you to ‘reprogramme’ your nervous system and change the way your body responds to stress, enabling a self regulated state.
Attendees intuitively tap, massage, and gently rub each body part to a curated music playlist. Sensory circuits (in this case sound and touch ) bring information back to the brain, and motor circuits then send information to muscles and glands instructing the body to move, while highlighting areas of stored emotion and stagnant energy.
Stacey guides attendees to focus on each body part through guided physical touch, an essential component to activate the neural pathways and our very important lymphatic system.
The tools you learn in Stacey May’s Movement is Medicine classes can be incorporated into your routine
One song daily will reinforce the benefits of these techniques to your nervous system and enable you to achieve a more empowered state of mind and body.
By doing this we are taking advantage of the best features of the human nervous system. This will have a profound effect on how stress is dealt with and managed along with processing and releasing stored emotion.

About Me
My dedication to hairdressing for over 20 years and getting much satisfaction from knowing clients have left me feeling better about their appearance and themselves. Listening to people’s life struggles and worries along with battling my own mental and physical health and an unwell little baby that no healthcare professional could get to the bottom of prompted me to look deeper into other ways to help my family, myself and others. I still find joy in hairdressing ( please have a look at my work), but have found inner peace with cultivating my knowledge of movement is medicine something that completely embodies a lot of the modalities i came to intuitively use to regulate my nervous system in my darkest times, I truly believe this to be transformative for our mind body and souls and learning the science behind this method has reinforced this belief even more,
So come let your hair down with me! Relax, release what no longer serves us and dance it away

I try to apply some movement is medicine daily and when I’m putting my face oil on every morning is the perfect time, I’m already touching my face and neck so by being more conscious and present as i do it tapping, massaging while incorporating some deep breaths really grounds me into my body for the day
I woke up feeling really bad about some stuff that went on the night before so i had a little dance off while i was getting ready and it helped shift that heavy energy i was still carrying and would have carried on into the day
it put me in a state of gratitude and forgiveness, for myself and others, highly recommend ✨

Anxiety is a physiological response to stress.
Stress is when we are stuck in fight or flight and this can cause chronic anxiety and panic attacks 🫨
anxiety is showing your going into a stress response, normally flight so you can run away from danger but if it is something that doesn’t warrant us running from like something from the past triggering us or something in the present like an issue at work or home you need to bring yourself back down into regulation.
we use the somatic nervous system which is motor and sensory (our senses and movement) to achieve this to decrease the sensations and help yourself feel better exactly what we do in movement is medicine 💪

A tiny snippet of what the 1st half of @movementismedicine.uk classes look like, we spend the 1st half of the class grounding ourselves, coming into the body and having an intention of what we want to release. it can be anything, stuff from our past, habits that no longer serve us, suppressed emotions, or just a bad day! it doesn’t have to be that deep 🤍
