Your Safety Matters

At My Body Rocks, we believe everyone deserves to feel safe, respected and free from fear — both inside and outside the studio. If you are experiencing domestic abuse, stalking, harassment, or any behaviour that makes you feel unsafe, you are not alone. This page is here to gently guide you toward organisations and professionals who can offer confidential support.

You do not need to have “proof” or be in crisis to reach out. If something doesn’t feel right, it’s okay to ask for help.

Understanding Abuse and Unsafe Behaviour

Abuse can take many forms, including:

Emotional or psychological harm
Controlling or coercive behaviour
Threats or intimidation
Physical harm
Stalking or unwanted contact
Monitoring your movements or communications
Financial control
Sexual pressure or coercion

If any of these feel familiar, support is available.

If You Are in Immediate Danger, If you feel at risk right now, please contact emergency services. Your safety comes first.
