Resting on the couch after three busy days in the shops, the exhaustion has finally hit home…

Vex King’s words really landed for me this week - ‘Christmas can be loud with expectations, but quiet with understanding. Not everyone has the energy to celebrate - some are grieving, some overwhelmed, some just staying afloat. It’s a gentle reminder to meet people where they are. Grace matters more than cheer. If someone seems distant this Christmas, assume they’re carrying more than you can see. Mental health doesn’t take holidays off. Joy is not mandatory this season. Kindness is.’

A customer said to me yesterday, “I can’t wait for Boxing Day - in my PJs all day.” Honestly… I feel the same. “Happy Boxing Day”, I said.

Right, so phone off, noise down. I’m hopping off the Christmas train and straight into Boxing Day! No expectations, no obligations, just quietly creating my own pocket of peace. Happy Boxing Day to you! 😉

And…

Thank you for supporting Kindred Self throughout your year. I hope our products and sound experiences brought you many little pockets of quiet, peace and joy.

December has arrived, and with it comes that familiar rise in pace … the lists, the plans, the gatherings, the emotions. This season can feel BIG in so many ways.

And in the midst of all that bigness, I’m reminded of Donna Ashworth’s beautiful words:
“When everything feels too big, go little. Wrap yourself with grace and space, nibble your to-do’s, just one tiny bite at a time.�You can’t outrun overwhelm, my friend, but you can stay so still that it passes you by. If you want to get more done, do less.�Stress dissipates in the face of guilt-free, intentional rest.”�
This is exactly what Sound Nest offers. A place to go little. To pause. To soften the inner edges. To settle your breath and make space in your system before the season gathers speed.

Join me for the final Sound Nest of the year at Urban Wellness - a restful, nurturing meditation experience to help you:
✨ Soothe an overwhelmed nervous system�✨ Release what the year has asked you to carry�✨ Clear mental clutter�✨ Restore balance and inner spaciousness

Let this be your guilt-free, intentional rest before stepping into the fullness of the festive season!

I’m currently crafting up some new wellness experiences combining yoga, breath and sound healing.

To help me refine and tailor these new offerings, I’ve put together a short survey to gather some feedback from you. Your input will help me to offer something that is relevant to your needs.

✨10 years of Kindred Self - Part 1✨

Kindred Self began in a small vestibule of an old Croydon hall with One Small Room where I offered counselling & design. Just a few months later, the real dream arrived - a little shop on Jetty St in Grange became available. I kid you not, 5 years earlier I’d stood across the road from the same building & said to Denis, “One day, I want to have that little shop, I’m not sure what I will be doing there, but I really want it. It’s so cute!”

And somehow, I was chosen for a 3 year lease. Denis and I painted the door green, designed the space with a kitchenette, desk, mini shop and counselling nook - and from there, the story of Kindred Self really began.

With the help of the community, we planted a succulent garden out the front, shared endless cups of tea, & poured love into that little wellness hub. It often felt like I was just a kid playing shop keeper, yet it was the foundation for so much more. Many connections made, a sense of being in the world making a small difference.

Between 2015–2018 this tiny space became:�✨ Home to our launch tea party for about 40 peeps�✨ A stop on Sarah Shanahan shopping tour �✨ Host to a delightful SALA exhibition with Sarah Keane �✨ The perfect springboard to launch Kindred Self products into the world

This space also welcomed other starting out therapists - an energy healer, massage therapist, & my beautiful counselling friends Cherrie and Robyn, creating a true little wellness hub.

I also shared my aromatherapy knowledge on two Bali retreats with Anne from Barefoot and Thankful , popped up at markets like WOMAD & Bowerbird, & made connections with incredible women like Kirsty gutrecoverycentre and Tina OmMade Organic Skincare , who would later become such a big part of my business journey.

Of course, it wasn’t all smooth. By 2017 I had overcommitted, pushed myself too far & ended up with shingles on my face for the first time. Poor Denis had to cover our Marion Christmas pop-up solo! A bit of a bummer & a lesson learned as to what my limits were. But it was worth it in the end because the Marion pop-up gave me the funds to take the next big leap…

💚 In 2018, the Port Adelaide building I’d applied for when I also applied for the grange shop became available again. Our Marion popup gave me the ability to raise the required bank guarantee and go for it!

With one year left on my Grange lease, I partnered with Lauren Have You Met Charlie?, and we transformed the space into Concept Studio for pop-ups and workshops.

Looking back, I can hardly believe how much happened between 2015–2018. It was a season of energy, creativity, and joy. I’m endlessly grateful to Denis for being by my side through every project and wild idea. We may not have children together, but we’ve certainly birthed so many beautiful creations into the world.

Part 2 coming soon ✨ 2018-2025
