Delighted to have worked with Dr Sally Sutton (@voicesofthedart) for a number of years: through the odysseys of our PhDs, post docs and watery projects. She is a force of nature and is doing fantastic research into access and rights to waters, in particular rivers.

Honouring Professor Jill Shawe @ProfJShawe and our interdisciplinary NERC funded research Immersion: exploring maternal experiences of sea swimming at @PlymUni 2023. Excited to develop research ripples and inspirations for our next stage(s) 2024+!

What a gift of a human, @ProfJoyceHarper. You create rays and ripples x

@eglmcgrath and I finally meet. I can’t wait for her talk today. Last time I heard her talk I cried. She’s doing amazing work on cold water swimming and pregnancy. #osrf24

In the lakes for the Outdoor Swimming Research Forum 2024 where I’ll be talking about my research into cold water swimming and women’s health. It’s so beautiful here.

This is tip of the iceberg, very much brimming with ideas of how to use #creativity as a way of processing #birth and #birthtrauma. Keen to connect with others and continue collaborating.

Fantastic to see that creativity and social research, in all its diverse forms are being represented and valued to encourage tender discussion. A delight to work alongside @larasnowdon, @PublicHealthEng as we find our way through the #matrescence whirlpool

Tender emotions, in the light of the #BirthTraumaInquiry having the honour to share some of the creative outpourings including stories, diaries and artwork of mamas involved in the Immersion Maternal research (@immersion.research) in the @birth_better conference. #socialresearch

Brilliant tour of the #ImmersionMaternal research exhibition with ⁦@ProfJShawe⁩ this lunchtime ⁦⁦@theboxplymouth⁩ exploring cold water swimming during pregnancy ⁦@eglmcgrath⁩

Branching out into poetry, delighted to be invited to speak at Plymouth Poetry Festival. I've got a lot to say about #pregnancy, #Birth and #matrescence, using the sea as a way of thinking about life and loss 🌬️🛶🪷

Come visit! Exhibition until Oct 2024, in the Archives Library, part of #PlanetOcean. Amongst local artists/organisations The Conscious Sisters, @ReclaimTheSea, Chestnut Swimming, all whom consider the often murky, sometimes refreshing relationship between #water and #Wellbeing

Thanks to @PlymUni colleagues Mark Hagger, head of risk assessments/field work at who was a legend in supporting me with getting ethical approval for this more challenging proposal Will Blake, @PlymEarth + Richard Thompson @marineinstitute who backed this research financially.

A huge thanks to @ProfJShawe, Professor or Maternal Health at @plymuni who I collaborated with to understand why #pregnant women #seaswim. @PlymUniHealth. Many ideas for future research and continued collaboration at @PlymUni 💡

Celebrating Immersion Maternal at @theboxplymouth with loved ones and those I've swam through wild seas with. Emotional to birth such personal research weaved so honestly with others. Delighted that water is being discussed through art, science, research and activism so publicly.

Such an inspiring day at the #uopsmc23 @PlymUni - almost makes me want to become a midwife! A joy to share our research focusing on the experiences of women who continued to sea swim through their pregnancy @jillshawe

Next Friday join Eden's Cave discuss the making of Forests, a creative collaboration that explores our relationship with the land. For researchers, creatives, makers and those interested in art that responds to climate change. @TheAIPlym, @plymuni https://t.co/aVGEACmjYC
