we are wired to connect

do you want to be more relaxed, more connected, and feel regulated in your nervous system?

work with me one-to-one through massage & bodywork for mental, physical, and nervous system health.

or if you prefer, join one of my nature-based rites of passage, coaching, and group workshops.

alternatively, let’s gather together in circle, song, and movement.

– through massage & bodywork, group facilitation, and community-building I offer you grounding, nurture and space to simply be. and from that place, new possibilities can emerge.

client testimonials

  • "there’s something very powerful about the way mungo holds space: it feels safe, non-judgmental, and deeply intuitive. over time, I’ve noticed a growing awareness of my own needs and boundaries, and I’ve become more confident in expressing them. I’ve also experienced the release of long-held tension, moments of emotional clarity, and even a deeper sense of life purpose starting to emerge "

  • "I am a cancer patient who was wanting to find better, more practical, ways to deal with stress so I tried the ‘nervous system reset’. It turns out that I got so much more from my four sessions than I could ever have hoped for. mungo is a great listener and helped me reflect on where stress existed in my life and refocus on what is really important. the massage was great too. my scars felt so much better, and it was deeply relaxing"

  • "at a point in my life where I was so overwhelmed, I dared to put my trust in Mungo. I can only say the Trauma Therapy Massage has at last allowed me to give way to negative patterns that have plagued me for a long time. thank you for allowing emotional responses to return"

meet mungo

I am an explorer of body-mind-wild connection. after my degree in history, I wanted to respond more directly to a human world which seemed to be increasingly fragmented and out of touch with more-than-human reality. I wanted to find ways of living that felt more embodied, more connected, and more alive.

it seems to me – then and now – that our increasingly globalised and digitised culture of modernity has forgotten the body, forgotten our intimate connection with the living world, and forgotten that we need each other.

so I trained in massage and bodywork (with 4elements company, mfr uk, and others), permaculture (with applewood permaculture & karuna), and nature-based rites of passage (with wildwise, wild rites & transalquimia).

in 2016 I co-founded beech hill: a 27-acre embodiment & natural farming community endeavour in cheshire where we try to live in attentive, harmonious, and ceremonial relationship with ourselves, others, the land, and mystery. my practices and passions include contact improvisation, the way of council, and wild swimming.
