As this year winds down (or up with the Christmas crazy!) I just wanted to pop in and say…thank you. Truly.

Thank you for being here.
For trusting me.
For sharing pieces of your story, your grief, your courage, your tenderness.
For quietly following along, or bravely showing up this year.
All of it matters.

This work lives very close to my heart and even though I’ve stepped back to refill my own cup, I carry you with me.
Your stories, your strength, your humanity. You’ve made this year richer than you probably realise and it means everything that you choose to walk parts of your journey with me.
Whether that be in a 1 on 1 session or by reading my posts.

I’ve still on my break until the end of January but I’ve been working in the background reflecting, creating, dreaming up new ways to support people walking with grief and loss in 2026.

I’m here in spirit cheering you on, holding space for you and wishing you gentleness wherever you need it most right now.

I hope you’re being kind to yourself.
Going slow where you can.
Letting joy be small if that’s all it can be right now.
And letting grief take up space where it needs to.

Take care of your heart this season. You deserve kindness.

Thank you for being part of this community and part of my work.

Much love and light,

Renée xx

The performance pressure of December and Christmas festivities has a way of making us feel like we’re all supposed to be sparkling, organised, socially available, emotionally balanced…

Meanwhile half of us are held together by caffeine and “I’ll deal with that in January.”

So if you’re not feeling merry?
Same here.

When you’ve lost those you love, Christmas can be a huge, activating reminder of who and what’s no longer here.

I know for me, this year is particularly challenging. It will be 10 years ago on Christmas Eve since I sat in a surgeon’s office, surrounded by tinsel, while he told me my Mum was terminally ill.

I still can’t believe it’s been 10 years since he said to go home and have a good Christmas.

Years or decades don’t mean that grief goes away.

So no, you’re not difficult.
You’re not being dramatic.
You’re not “ruining the vibe”.

You’re just human in a season that asks a lot.
Sometimes too much.

You don’t owe anyone cheer you don’t have.
You don’t have to perform.
You’re allowed to be real AND still worthy of connection, kindness and belonging.

Your quiet, messy, beautifully human self is more than enough.

If this resonates, I wrote a deeper guide on my blog this week about navigating December when your heart feels…complicated.

It’s tender, practical, and honest. The kind of thing you can read with a cup of tea and an exhale.

You can read it via the link below:

Please be kind to your nervous system.
Be gentle with your energy.
Choose the moments that feel good and release the rest.

Let the chaos pass you by.
Choose peace over performance.

And if all else fails… strategic bathroom breaks are a valid coping tool.

Wherever you are emotionally this season, I’m here, holding space for you.

You deserve gentleness, especially from yourself.

Much love & light,

Renée xx

Have you ever found yourself in that uncertain space after some big life changes?

You’re finally catching your breath, but you feel a little wrung out… not quite in crisis anymore, but not yet ready to run full speed ahead either?

It's what I call the pause between things.

It’s a chance to take a moment to breathe, reflect & realign before stepping into what comes next.

After a long & challenging year walking beside my husband through surgeries, chemotherapy & all that comes with it, I’ve realised my body, mind & heart are asking me to slow down for a bit.

So, from Friday, November 21st until the end of January, I’ll be taking a break from 1-on-1 client sessions.

It’s not because I don’t love what I do, my gosh, it lights me up! Working with my clients is such a blessing & an honour.

But it’s time to practice what I preach. To rest. To reset. To listen to my own body & give myself the same care I always encourage in others.

In my latest blog post, I talk about this in-between season & the necessity for rest.

It’s that quiet middle space that doesn’t get much attention, but it’s where so much healing actually happens.

I’ll still have some appointments available & I'll be around with a couple of online offerings before the year ends (mailing list gets first dibs & discounts 😉). But from the end of November, I’ll be leaning into the art of slowing down.

I'll be using my break to delve back into my drawing & I'm actually writing a book too! I’ll also be coming up with new offerings & ways of working together, alongside 1 on 1 sessions in 2026.

If you’re in your own pause right now, whether you’re grieving, burnt out, or just tired of doing so much, please know you’re not alone.

You’re not broken or falling behind. You’re simply in the space where recalibration happens.

You can read my latest Blog post via the link below:

https://www.renaissancekinesiology.au/s/stories/the-pause-between-things

Here’s to honouring the pauses. To slowing down, breathing deeply & letting what’s next arrive in its own time.

And remember, pausing isn't always a delay...it's preparation.

Much love & light,

Renée xx

✨ Boundaries used to feel so complicated… until I learnt this.

No one can cross your boundaries… except YOU.

Oof! That one hits!
Sorry, maybe I should have warned you this one hits hard!

The topic of boundaries has been coming up a lot in client sessions lately, so I wanted to unpack it some more.

Your boundaries? They’re YOUR limits.
What you will (or won’t) do, tolerate, or accept.
They’re not about controlling anyone else.
They’re not about making people change.
They’re about honouring you.

Here’s the tough-love part:

👉If it feels like someone is crossing your boundaries… it’s because you’re letting them.
🫵Your boundaries are yours to set and yours to hold.

You can’t control other people.
But you can choose whether you:

💗 Reply to that 10pm text message.
💗 People-please yourself into exhaustion.
💗 Stay when your body says “go”.

And here’s what matters most:

💎 People don’t have to “get” your boundaries.
💎 You don’t have to explain them.
💎 Their reaction to your boundaries is not yours to manage or your responsibility.

The only thing that really matters?
That YOU honour you.
If something feels off, give yourself permission to say no.

Because boundaries aren’t selfish.
They’re sacred.
And you’re allowed to have them.
Quietly, firmly, without apology.

💛 Save this for the next time you need a reminder.

Much love & light (& some tough love today),

Renée xx

You don’t need permission for grief.
But if it helps, here’s yours.

Grief isn’t just about losing someone (or something) you love. It’s also about all the moments, relationships and versions of life (and ourselves) we thought we’d have.

The thing is…when it comes to grief, so many of us feel like we’re getting it “wrong.”
We question our feelings and every aspect of how we express our grief — like there’s some invisible checklist to tick off or exam to pass.

We move through grief with this quiet pressure that we should be somewhere else by now.

Feel less. Talk about it less.
Be "okay" more.

But grief doesn't work on other people's timelines or expectations.

That’s why this is your permission slip — because there are no rules here.

You have permission to:

💖 Miss someone you’ve lost — no matter how much time has passed.

💖 Feel the ache for the life you imagined.

💖 Carry sadness for relationships that changed — even the ones you chose to leave.

💖 Set boundaries with people who don’t get it (you don’t have to make your grief comfortable for others).

💖 Move at your own pace — there’s no timeline for learning to live with grief.

💖 Feel joy and heartbreak in the same breath — both can live in you at the same time.

Grief is love, loss, change and resilience woven together.
And you get to hold it your way.

💭 What permission do you need to give yourself today?

Much love & light

Feeling tired, flat, or just not like yourself lately? You might be "Wintering".

Whether you love it or loathe it, there’s no denying Winter can feel heavier. Slower. But Winter isn’t just a season—it’s a season of life, too.

Grief, burnout, change, illness… even those days when you just don’t feel like you anymore. They can all bring on an inner Winter.

And while we don’t always choose this season, we can still choose how we move through it.

So often we're taught to push through. Smile anyway. Keep going. Be “fine.”

But what if we didn’t?

What if we allowed ourselves to rest? To soften? To honour what this season is asking of us?

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Winter aligns with Yin energy—the stillness, softness and inward pull that allows healing to begin.

In clinic, I see so many women caught on the mouse-wheel of doing. Their Yin is depleted. Their nervous systems stretched. Their bodies quietly asking for care.

Yin doesn’t ask for more time. It asks for more presence.

Here are a few gentle ways you might honour your own inner Winter:

🫖 Slow your routines. Let comfort be your medicine.
✨ Journal. Let your feelings land.
🍲 Eat warm, slow, nourishing foods.
🌀 Move gently. Soft is still strong.
🌿 Let yourself receive support. You’re not meant to carry it all alone.

Kinesiology is one way I support women through their Wintering. It helps calm the nervous system, shift emotional weight and bring you back into balance—body, mind and heart.

There’s no rush to bloom. Winter has wisdom, too.

If now feels like your time to soften, slow, or be supported—I'm here to help. Book an appointment and make time for yourself, whichever season of life you're in right now.

Much love & light,

Renée xx
