Client of Abundant Body
“I started working with Stella because I wasn’t enjoying sex as much as I used to, and was hating on my changing, aging, peri-menopausal body. Through the sessions with Stella, and the work I have done between, I no longer feel like my body has betrayed me and I am really enjoying sex again. One of the best journeys I’ve been on.”

“Stella has a magical way of guiding us both to discover what my body wants from each session. She has worked with both physical and emotional things in our sessions and skillfully works with whatever comes up. She brings a joy and enthusiasm to her work whilst simultaneously holding a very safe space. Stella has a knack for keeping me present and tuning into my own body to learn and benefit from each session, and I trust her implicitly.”

“Stella is one of the most ethical, professional and safe practitioners that I have encountered. She holds a very safe place for her clients, helping them feel at ease and gently helps them explore issues through their body, to complement our work in talking therapy. I have no hesitation in recommending Stella to my clients if they are looking for bodywork.”
Teaching associate, as part of ‘Vulvarama Wonderland’ workshop.
“I agreed for my vulva to be part of Stella’s workshop because I love being a witness to her skilled teaching and caring ways. I always feel secure when she’s in charge so I knew it was ok to be a bit nervous too. We’d worked together many years ago teaching medical students about pap smears, so I thought I knew how the session would run. However it was so much more. With the focus on pleasure, she skillfully kept the group focused, brilliantly holding everyone’s attention to the present, in our bodies. I look forward to the next opportunity.”

“Stella is an engaging as well as informative presenter. In her “Vulvarama” workshop, she got everyone involved in a relaxed, easy way – and it was loads of fun!”
Participant, ‘Vulvarama Wonderland’ workshop
“I’m full of gratitude for Stella’s ‘Vulvarama Wonderland’. A safe and creative space lifted by the voices of people with vulvas talking about their experiences. A show and tell of the magical kind, Vulvarama is full of the kind of wisdom you don’t find in an anatomy text – a celebration of vulva-owners!”

“I arrived at my first session with Stella not sure what to expect, and she made me feel at ease straight away, letting me know what her boundaries were and encouraging me to identify mine. I felt supported to push through shyness which is another kind of boundary for me.
I had been experiencing a kind of separateness from my sexuality for some years, and had no idea why or how to reconnect. Stella took me through some breath and movement work that felt intuitively ‘right’ for me, encouraging me to ask for what I wanted no matter how silly it seemed.
I left feeling like I was floating on air, and much more connected to my body and sexuality with some ‘exercises’ to continue.
Since then I have continued to feel more and more connected and aware of my body.
Seeing Stella was like getting a massage for my soul and sexual self, soothing my psychic pains and releasing tension and focusing my attention on the more subtle energy shifts. Thank you!”
