Hello and welcome to the first episode of «The breathing body» podcast after the Christmas break. My name is Flurina and I am your host - and I am so happy that you are here - and I am so excited diving into a new year with you. It is with great intention - and with a huge step out of my comfort zone - that the first episode of this new year is a solo episode. Me and my body this is my story. I found healing from disordered eating when I allowed a dialogue between my body me and when I gave her a voice. The power within emotions and feelings became the sweetest song and strongest dance I could ever share. This is my creator force and feminine spirit, wanting to be awakened and expressed. This story I share with you today. … and by doing this curving the path and direction of this podcast a bit deeper - may this podcast be a source of inspiration / an archive for all of us to be awakened to the miraculous body we are and inhabit and may it be a platform for women who are going a similar path like I did and do to find inspiration and support to heal from disordered eating and awaken to their feminine spirit. About today's guest, myself, FLURINA :-)I am an Osteopath, lecturer, researcher, dancer, artist and mother of the podcast «The Breathing Body». And, I am a woman who suffered from an eating disorder for many years - and found healing through movement, body awareness and falling in love with the fascination and miracle my expresses every day - the sweet song of feelings and emotions.I initially trained as a dancer in Denmark and the Netherlands. During this time, I encountered many somatic practices, in particular the Alexander Technique and Ideokinesis which continuously teaches me as a facilitator the art of creating space and finding ease in movement by using images and imaginations. The wish of engaging my hands in care for others led me to gain a Masters` degree at the European School of Osteopathy. I am currently practicing in private clinics in Kent and London, as well as training as a paediatric osteopath at the Osteopathic Center for Children in London. I am fascinated by the physical matter of our body and how we came to be. I am continuously exploring an experiential and poetic approach towards being human and the potential of human touch for healing.In this episode you learn a lot about myself, my journey through an eating disorder and the insights I won from it.
