ABOUT

Welcome – I’m Charlie.
My intention is to support your healing, wellbeing, and transformation through sound therapy, song, embodiment practices, and conscious dialogue. With over a decade of experience in the fields of healing, body connection, and empowerment, I bring a grounded, compassionate approach to my work.

I’m a trauma-informed, qualified and insured practitioner, offering a range of modalities including:
• Vocal Therapeutic Sound Therapy
• Macrobiotic Health Consultancy
• Embodiment Facilitation
• Pregnancy and Motherhood support

My work is inclusive, body-positive, and LGBTQ+ friendly. After many years living and travelling across the world, I now call the Scottish Highlands home, where I live with my partner and our baby.

Following my own empowering and positive birth experience, I’ve become passionate about supporting maternal wellbeing. I offer gentle, embodied support for pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period—helping mamas-to-be connect with their intuition, trust their bodies, and find grounding and connection in new motherhood.

My passion for movement, sound, and dialogue is rooted in my own lived experience. Years ago, I faced challenges with eating disorders, and as my body began to express pain, I was called inward. This led me to explore healing modalities—not only for myself but also to support others on their own journeys of self-discovery and transformation. I’m always open to sharing my healing path with those who may find it helpful or inspiring.

In 2015, I created Firm Feet® to support mental wellbeing through embodied movement and sound. What began as a project to help others find balance soon became an integral part of my identity and practice. Over time, Firm Feet naturally evolved to become my professional name—reflecting both my grounded approach and the journey I continue to walk with others. I led the popular Dance in the Dark® movement meditation sessions in London, and held sound baths in Edinburgh. I’ve facilitated workshops, retreats, and mental health programmes—both online and around the world.

I’m also a vocalist, songwriter, and producer. You can explore my music here

If you feel drawn to work with me, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s connect and chat about your intentions and how I can best support you.

Warmly,
Charlie
