There are many forms of grief…..🥺
It can help to talk about it.
Appointments open for 2026!

Grief isn't just something we experience when someone we know dies.

According to bereavement specialist Terri Daniel, there are several types of losses that don't involve death at all.

"When you haven't experienced an obvious loss such as a divorce or a death, you may not even be aware that you're grieving," Daniel said. "These losses can be secondary to a primary loss, or they can stand on their own."

Are there any losses we haven't listed that you can think of and/or have experienced yourself?

Reminder of another important self care practice.
Take a moment to sit, breathe and release what no longer serves you.
Give yourself permission to let go, forgive, restore, replenish.
Put down those heavy loads and feel your energy return bringing positivity, peace and love for yourself and those close to you.
✨🙏🫧

It pays off to stop and look at past events and trauma to find answers for current mind set and habits hard to change.
It wasn’t your fault, you don’t have to keep watch or wait for that second shoe to drop.
Yes we need to be mindful of our feelings and be respectful to others, but remember kindness to yourself.
Talking about what happened to shape who you are now can help you find your old self. It can bring understanding and compassion for you to begin acceptance and peace. 🙏💗

Time to talk….. 💖

Acceptance of a situation that you cannot change.
That others will travel their own path regardless of you. Behaviour of others is theirs to manage, not you.
To forgive is hard although provides a doorway for you to cross into a place where growth and peace can flourish.
Gentle Pathways can show you how…. 🥰🙏☮️✨

Although there are really no rules, self care is extremely important and comes in many forms…. Taking just 15 minutes to unplug, unwind, unclench. Allow yourself a few minutes to breathe, feel the earth, listen to nature, be grateful for today.

Cry if you need to…..
The cure for everything is salt….sweat, tears or the sea.

I love this visual, how easy it looks to just step out of a situation that is not working for you…. It takes bravery and confidence to put up boundaries and let others know that you will not allow someone or something to use your power.
By stepping away you protect yourself and allow space to rethink an alternative pathway, there is always another way. 👣
Gentle Pathways here to help. 🥰🙏❤️

💚World Mental Health Day 💚

🌍💚 World Mental Health Day – October 10 💚🌍

Today is a powerful reminder that mental health matters just as much as physical health. This year’s theme highlights the importance of raising awareness, breaking down stigma, and making mental health a priority for everyone.

🧠 Taking care of your mental well-being can look different for each person — whether it’s:
✨ Taking time to rest and recharge
🤝 Reaching out for support when you need it
💬 Checking in on a friend, colleague, or loved one
🌿 Seeking help from a professional

You don’t have to go through tough times alone. Reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness. 💪

📞 If you or someone you know needs support, help is available 24/7:
☎️ Lifeline – 13 11 14
💬 Beyond Blue – 1300 22 4636
🧒 Kids Helpline (ages 5–25) – 1800 55 1800🧍 Su***de Call Back Service – 1300 659 467
🌐 13YARN (Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander crisis line) – 13 92 76

Let’s work together to create a community where everyone feels supported and heard. 💬💚
