About
Portia has taught and facilitated Body work for the last 20 years; firstly with a management consultancy and training organisation and for the last 15 years within a personal-development and well-being orientated charitable trust. She has developed a system of body work – Integrated Body Work – which is based in 5–Element theory and arises from her shiatsu and Tai Chi training and practice.
Bringing together all her previous experience Portia is now developing solo and collaborative projects; workshops, retreats and journeys engaging with Nature and creativity as a source for health and peace.
With a background in biological sciences, psychology and philosophy Portia has brought her keen sense of enquiry and adventure to all of her work. Portia’s approach has a simplicity and accessibility; her commitment is that the poetic has a pragmatic relevance to our modern everyday lives. The purpose of taking time out is to bring greater enrichment and vivacity to the everyday.
