You are not losing your mind! According to Dr Lisa Mosconi peri/menopause is a function of the brain that can play havoc with a woman’s body. She highlights that the heat surges, the feelings of anxiety and or depression, sleepless nights, clouded thoughts, the memory lapses didn’t originate in the ovaries that are initiated by another organ entirely, the brain.

If you’re needing support or to gain clarity around what’s happening to you my support/education sessions are here to help you. DM for more information or to book in. Knowledge is power and I’m here to empower you.

India calls
not with noise,
but with gestures so gentle they invite the turning inward.
The hustle and bustle laid to rest,
to be gathered again with care,
not urgency.

I leave what asks to be left and carry only the sweetness
the kind that arrives when slowing down is the only prescription.

Medicine, subtle yet sure,
harvested from gardens and hearts alike,
offered through mind, body and soul.
Faces like homecomings, eyes bright as river stones.

A place that holds a quiet piece of my heart where something in me was
restored, reawakened and
gently remembered ❤️

🤔Someone recently told me they felt like they were crawling to the finish line this year and I wondered how many of us are feeling the same?
2025 has been a year of rapid change. The pace of the world continues to accelerate, and many of us are doing our best just to keep up. At the same time, we often place unrealistic expectations on ourselves (and sometimes others) to keep performing, keep responding, keep achieving. Overachievement has almost become a badge of honour and if we’re not being externally rewarded or acknowledged, it can feel like our efforts don’t “count.”
🤗 This festive season, I’m choosing something different.
I’m choosing to dance to the finish line.
If that means slower replies to emails and messages, not signing up for another course, or even letting myself sleep in, then so be it.
Our nervous systems are calling out for rest. Without it, we risk burning out before we even reach the end of the year.
So here’s to a festive season filled with the things that nourish you and time with the people you love ❤️

I love supporting parents navigate the ups and downs of parenting. In a warm, judgement free space, we explore what’s feeling overwhelming, help you understand your child’s needs and build your confidence in the choices you’re making. Whether you’re looking for calmer routines, clearer communication, or simply a place to breathe and feel heard, you don’t have to figure it all out alone. Together, we can find practical tools and gentle strategies to bring more ease, connection and balance into family life no matter what age or stage you’re at.
