The journey to self discovery is brought by doing, action, playfulness, adventure, and a genuine curiosity for living life to the full!
Change happens with movement, and real healing.
How do i know this? My experience as a pilates instructor and Personal trainer has allowed me to experience change and healing with many of you.
Joseph Pilates said change happens through movement and movement heals.
It’s the same for my counselling practice i challenge people to move. Because when we stay stuck , we stay stuck. So for change to happen we must move and in the movement we heal.

THAILAND /Chiangmai
Day 10

Waking up today we packed up our belongings. It was time to leave our home away from home.
Ensuring that we had accounted for the keys to successful travel. That we had talked about all of the scenarios that may trip Kim up. Airport chaos waiting in lines, the public toilets, bright lights, noises, bells, dings and demands of doing all the things just to get on the plane.
However we were looking forward to heading to the Singapore airport and exploring some more. An air-train, the beautiful gardens, butterfly enclosure, and fish ponds.
It was time though to say our goodbyes. Hugs and tears all round, lots of beautiful words. Lasting connections strong bonds reformed and stunning memories to reminisce.
We arrived at the airport and had some difficulty navigating to the check in. I could see the terror in Kim’s eyes but I reassured her that we would get there. Another tearful goodbye to Jacob as we checked the bags and went towards customs.
Kim had packed an olive oil in her carry on and I mentioned to her about it before we left. However they took it off her and a few other items . All part of life’s learning about travel. Sometimes it’s best to allow mistakes to be made and then surmounted.
Singapore airport is like a village to explore. We hopped on and off the airtrain. Looked through the gardens. Walked through the butterfly enclosure and over the glass covered ponds of fish.
We were sad to leave but made the most of the last experiences. Enjoying Pizza and wine our last supper together. I asked Kim what the highlight was . Multiple she replied and some experiences that were difficult. They ended up being the best because she was proud of herself for overcoming the anxiety to give them a go.
Such a profound statement and it gives me a sense of pride. Knowing that I could be part of the journey to overcoming the hurdles in life that can stop Kim in her tracks.

THAILAND/CHIANGMAI

DAY 9
Today we took the morning slow had a swim. Walked around the property admiring the wildlife and budgies and chickens, insect life and a cute little squirrel building its nest preparing for a family life
perhaps. Running across a branch in the trees going back and forth collecting sticks and leaves. So sweet unfortunately we have lost the video.
We ordered a grab meal for lunch a Thai traditional meal. Each choosing something
different to try. They arrived in little bags tied with a rubber band. Grab is like uber,
download the app and you have access to everything from transport to food and shopping.
Later in the afternoon we met with Jacobs brother and his fiancé. A special family moment for Kim and a chance to enjoy some more diverse experiences. We met them at a Thai cooking school called Grandmas Thai cooking School.
We laughed and joked , had such a great time. Kim was feeling a little dizzy. It was very hot and cooking exacerbated the atmosphere.
However I kept making sure that she was drinking water and resting too in between. By the time we had finished the class we were all so full of stunning amazing food we were so impressed! Such a stunning experience.
We went home to get ready to pack up and prepare for our flights. The holiday was nearly over and we were all feeling so full with gratitude and love for each other. It had really been such an incredible experience for all of us.
Kim and I had a debrief about medication any concerns she might have what the airport would be like going home. How that would look.
Ensuring her partner was onboard for ensuring rest on arrival. Not expecting too much over the next few days after her arrival home. Giving Kim time to adjust back into family life after
travel.
Travel is very draining and overstimulating not forgetting the barriers neurodivergent
people have at mitigating any issues before they become issues. Hydration, Food and
medication the keys to enjoying life to the full.
