“Compassion for myself.” “Kindness costs nothing.” “I am not alone.”

The final session of our Survivor Steps programme was filled with so much love, movement, and powerful reminders of why creating safe spaces for women is so vital.

Over the last 6 weeks, we’ve explored gentle movement, creative journaling, and deep mindfulness to help our community reconnect and reclaim their strength.

A massive thank you to all the beautiful ladies who joined us on this journey. Look at how much you’ve grown!🌼

✨ Want to join our next fully-funded 6-week programme? We’re back again next week in Colchester and also launching in Braintree on 11 June!

POV: “I bet my instructor doesn’t think about me after a session”

Spoiler alert: Your BMD instructors definitely think about you after class. 🥹

——————

Whether it’s hoping your big meeting went well, cheering on your parenting wins, or wishing you luck at court—you guys stay on my mind long after the chairs are cleared/the session ends.

This is exactly what makes Be More Dandelion different. We aren’t a cold, transactional studio or a generic programme.

We build real community. We care about the whole person, not just the person who shows up for class.

If you want a community that cheers for you in and out of the room, you’re in the right place. Welcome to the dandelion patch! Hit follow to stay a while! 🌼

Healing starts with one gentle step.

Curious about a space where you can move, breathe, and just be yourself? Wondering if there’s a way to feel safe in your own body again?

Our next free 'Move Through This' class is open for sign-ups. No pressure. No mirrors. Just a room full of women who get it.

Message if you’d like more info or a friendly chat. 🌼

🌼Braintree, we are coming for you! 🌼

In partnership with Braintree Foodbank and thanks to incredibly generous funding from Braintree Active Foundation, Be More Dandelion is officially bringing our Survivor Steps programme to Braintree next month.

——
What makes Survivor Steps different ?
This programme was born out of lived experience, meaning it is deeply understood from the inside out. Our sessions are designed and led by our founder, Fi Bool, trauma-aware movement practitioner and facilitator who holds a degree in Dance & Movement studies and has extensive training in body-based somatic practice, specifically linked to trauma.

Inside the sessions we use movement as a tool for empowerment, confidence, clarity, regulation, creating powerful community support networks outside traditional therapy for survivors of controlling, coercive or abusive relationships.

🗓️ Taster session - Thursday 11 June 10-11:30am
Followed by 6-week programme starting on Thursday 25 June.

Move, connect and find your community in a safe, trauma-aware space.

Link in bio to join or DM “BRAINTREE” and we’ll send it across for you! 💜

Gentle movement. Real stories. Safe beginnings here.

Curious about what happens in our sessions? Or wondering if you’ll feel welcome and supported?

Every week, women gather quietly, move gently, and leave a little lighter. No pressure. Just choice, kindness, and community.

If you’d like to see the space or chat with me first, just send a message. 🌼

You belong here, whenever you’re ready.

This is all I needed to read today. 🌸

đź’¬ "It's the start of taking real control of your life. It's empowering. I have regained a sense of myself."

One woman. Last week's Healthier Habits: Gentle Wellbeing Day.

Regained a sense of herself.

After everything she'd been through. After all the things that tried to take that from her.

She found it again. In a room with other women. Moving. Breathing. Just being.

That is this work. That is why we show up. ✨

If this is something you're looking for, we'd love to welcome you to our community. DM us to find out more đź’›

With love, Fi 🌼

Last weekend, we hosted our very first women’s wellbeing day with Be More Dandelion 💜

We created a phone-free, trauma-aware space where women could slow down, breathe deeply, move their bodies, and reconnect with themselves and others through:

✨ Gentle movement
✨ Nervous system regulation tools
✨ Mindfulness and relaxation
✨ Community connection
✨ A safe, inclusive space

For many women, especially survivors of domestic abuse and toxic relationships, spaces like this can feel rare.

This video shares a little behind-the-scenes look before we opened the doors, alongside reflections from the women who joined us afterwards đź’›

If you’re looking for trauma-aware wellbeing support, movement classes for survivors, or women’s healing communities in Essex and the UK, you’re in the right place.

Follow Be More Dandelion for survivor support, nervous system regulation tools, movement for emotional wellbeing, and empowering spaces for women rebuilding confidence after abuse.

I need to share this with you. 🌸

After last week's Healthier Habits: Gentle Wellbeing Day, one of the women sent us this. It stopped me in my tracks:

đź’¬ "Life recovering from abuse is lonely! Even acknowledging you have even been abused is lonely, it's hard to talk, it's hard as when you try others don't understand or know how to help. I think lots of survivors just want a space to be, a space to be acknowledged and a space to talk if they want to. Dandelion gives that space and I will be eternally grateful to Fi and team for providing that, thank you x"

There is something in those words that feels so true and so important.

The loneliness of recovery isn't just about being alone — it's that particular ache of trying to speak and not being met. Of reaching out and feeling like the other person doesn't quite have the language for it. Of wondering if you're making too much of it, or not enough.

This is why we do what we do. Not to fix or cure or diagnose. Just to be a place where you can land. Where you're seen. Where the space itself says: you're not too much here.

If you know someone who might need that right now, please share this with them. And if it's you — our door is open, exactly as you are 💛

Drop a 🌼 in the comments, or send us a message. We'd love to welcome you.

With love, Fi 🌼

I know that feeling when a court notification pops up and your stomach just drops.

If you’re navigating the UK Family Court system as a survivor of domestic abuse, I want your to know two things.

1. You aren’t imagining how hard this is

2. You don’t have to carry the emotional weight alone

Hi! I’m Fi and I’ve walked this path, twice. I know exactly how draining and all consuming this process is. And it’s exactly why I created our Movement | Mum Life | Moving On monthly membership.

This is for you if:
💜 the legal process feels like it’s hijacking your nervous system

đź’ś you need tools to help you stay calm, steady, confident and clear during and leading up to hearings

💜 you want to rebuild confidence that’s been chipped away

💜 you’re looking for a community that gets it and support that feels safe

——

Be More Dandelion is a CIC not-for-profit organisation. And that’s important. I’m building this community so that every penny from our membership goes straight back into mission-funding specialised training and delivery of support services.

So when you join, not only do you have access to the support you’ve been looking for, you’re also helping us keep the lights on for our in person programmes in Essex and Suffolk. It’s a community built by survivors, for survivors 💜
