a centering practice

Hi, I am Dr. Jo Davies .

I am interested in how we move when under strain.

My background is in critical care medicine, and I also practice and study aikido — a Japanese martial art.

I believe that we can make things easier for ourselves by (re-)learning to read what our body is doing in reaction to situations we encounter. Going beyond what is going on in my head gives me something tangible to work with, and I am able to choose if and how I want to respond.

This is a practice in harmony, and balance.

I also write about spaces and simplicity. I am fascinated by the effect our spaces can have on us, and the effect we can have on our spaces.

With gratitude to my teachers.
