Finding Re-connection with Body, Inner W...

HARRIET FREW
About this episode

Today I’m talking to Flurina Thali who is an osteopath, coach, lecturer, researcher, dancer, artist and host of the podcast, ‘The Breathing Body’. She is also someone who suffered from an eating disorder for many years - and found healing through movement, body awareness and rediscovering the fascination and miracle our bodies express every day. She calls this the sweet song of feelings and emotions.

Flurina initially trained as a dancer in Denmark and the Netherlands. During this time, she encountered many somatic practices, in particular the Alexander Technique and Ideokinesis which continuously taught her as a facilitator the art of creating space and finding ease in movement by using images and imaginations.  

Flurina gained a Masters` degree at the European School of Osteopathy. She is currently practicing in private clinics in Kent and London, as well as working for the Osteopathic Centre for Children in London.

Inspired by her own journey. Flurina has created various platforms to support women recovering from eating difficulties - and living a life beyond their wildest dreams.

In the episode today, Flurina talks about her eating disorder recovery journey, delving into finding re-connection with her body and trusting its innate wisdom and intuition. She also talks about how she supports her clients today through women’s circles and one-to-one work. Flurina has incredible energy and presence in this conversation. I know that this will really inspire you. I hope that you find it helpful.
