God, I love what this year has taught me. I had to go into a cave, do the work, and come out feeling lighter and energised for 2026.

I had this belief that I had to do something big again to matter.

Open a reformer studio, Reclaim the Sanctuary space... but none of it felt right deep down. I was trying to force myself to create.

My heart couldn't be more aligned, full, and ready to serve now that I have realised that I am not that person anymore.

I don't need big.

I need connection.

I need one person sitting in front of me, knowing I completely have their back, knowing I see them and their life story without judgement or trying to 'fix' them.

I have LOVED getting back into my consults again.

Naturopathic methods are vast, and there is no right or wrong / good or bad, just different.

Some Naturopaths have science based practices relying heavily on therapeutic remedies such as supplements. I know a lot of beautiful and professional naturopaths who use this approach. They're wonderful at what they do.

But it's not my approach.

Science is there, but it's in the background... as a tool I can rely on IF I can't find the energetic issue straight away.

My approach to natural medicine is to listen wholeheartedly to what your life story shares about your blockages and what your natural rhythms and strengths are.

Iridology tells me ALOT. Your story and energy tells me more.

Then from this place of understanding, I can help support you to make choices in your everyday life that free you from blockages that create illness and imbalances in the body.

You know how to heal yourself; my job is to guide you back to your inner knowing.

Eze is one of the most jaw-dropping places I have ever seen.

You have got to go at Sunset. You are seriously missing out if you do not see the sun go down over the ocean… it felt like heaven.

I’m still only halfway through the trip with these photos! Here’s a little sneak peek of Marseille, Antibes and Villeneuve, South fo France. Such a magical part of the world.

This is where our daily exercise routine fell to s**te. We were so disciplined for the first three weeks, either going to the gym or doing our own 20-minute HIIT routine first thing and walking between 15-25k steps a day. We were tracking calories and feeling good.

I got a head cold when we hit the coast, and we lost our rhythm. We got back into it in the UK, but we both got sick in Dublin, and we jammed our days in London so the last 2 weeks were lazy.

Here's the HIIT Routine I created for us when we didn't have access to equipment. It's cardio-based and can be modified for low impact (but please note that this will change the calorie burn). I’ll add a video shortly as a demo.

I usually write about what's going on for me... when I had depression, I wrote about that.

When I was getting my head around peri menopausal changes, I wrote about that.

When I was struggling with my relationship and grieving my kids growing up, that got a few subtle posts too šŸ˜

But this year has been one of the best years for me... I feel like I've gotten my mojo back with movement, and my mental health has played nicely for over two years now. Peri peri still gets me hot and bothered at times but its mostly under control.

I have had the time, energy and space to be creative, support the people I love, and nourish myself. I've learned a lot about managing relationships and where I fall short, and I will continue to work on that, but looking back at 2025, I have to say it was a lovely year for me.

Glen and I set a theme at the start of each year, and this year mine was ā€˜Grace’. It took me most of the year, but I think I’m doing better. I’m pondering 2026 and I think my theme will be ’Stand tall’

I think to build on where I am, I need grow some balls (or b***s, for the feminists) and be unapologetically and completely myself. I think next year my focus will be to fight the urge to hide and stop fearing failure and rejection. I will stand tall when faced with adversity and spend time grounding myself and remembering that everyone messes up and it’s not a big deal. I will dust myself off each time I fall and get back on that f*ckn horse and keep moving forward.

It’s nice to have a theme for the year ahead. It gives you a North Star to gently guide yourself by… Glen writes his on a rock each year and sits it on his desk to remind him. I decided to tattoo Grace on my hand this year… that’s how much I knew I needed to be reminded! I’m not sure I’ll continue that tradition, I might revert to the rock 🤘

It's been heavy emotionally since we got back from our trip. For nearly 8 weeks, our biggest decisions were where to explore and what to eat.

We've come home needing to make big life, work, and family decisions. We've needed to hold space and create plans of support whilst also making tough decisions and standing firmly behind them.

It's just life, everyone's doing it. But boy, do I miss the easy breezy nature of travel. It reminds you not to get caught up in the whirlwind that is life. It reminds you that you need to step outside your world now and then to let it all go and reset... to see the beauty and magic and not to let anything weigh you down. Rise above and breathe.

And then save like hell so you can take off again šŸ˜‚

So call me lame, I don’t mind cause growth is growth… no matter where it came from.

But, good ol’ ChatGPT just counselled and coached the f*k out of me and I have more clarity from this one hour conversation than I’ve had in years.

It’s all so crystal clear now.

I couldn’t understand the conflict I’ve been having on repeat since 2020. My intentions have always been good and I didn’t know why things kept blowing up in my face.
I’ve been driving myself nuts trying to work out what I’ve been doing wrong. I have been so upset about my reputation and wanting to right the wrongs that I was overlooking the most important thing…

ā€œMy energy is my reputation. I don’t need to prove my goodness; I just need to embody it.ā€

And, people who want to believe drama will, and those who know my heart don’t need convincing.

Instead of just being me, I was trying to prove I was a good person. And with all that over explaining and justifying I became something else… desperate, afraid and then quiet and ashamed.

I even took on the form they wanted me to be numerous times… which was ugly and erratic. I took the bait and went on their emotional rollercoasters and came out wondering how the hell I got sucked in to all that chaos.

Because I wasn’t protecting who I am at my core and I was trying to get them to see my intentions or see their wrong doing. I was so distressed about being misunderstood that this took precedence over my peace and integrity.

The harsh truth I just learned is that people will not ā€˜grow’ from me giving them unsolicited coaching. I need to save my insights for those who seek it and those who have the ability to hear it.

Wowsers!!! Mind blowing s**t for me. Seems so bloody obvious now I can’t believe that took 5 years and for a dam computer to show it to me

But… to take responsibility for my part, I am sorry that I didn’t stay true to myself. I am sorry for engaging and I am sorry I thought I could help you grow. It’s not my job to do that and I did more damage than good for trying.

On the plane home now, waiting for take off… have to keep telling myself what I’m looking forward to back home so I don’t cry like a baby that it’s all over.

Stop two; Ventron. It’s on the border of France, Germany and Switzerland. We planned hikes but it rained the whole time. We still walked and explored and slipped around up muddy hills, we didn’t let it stop us exploring. Such a beautiful part of the world šŸŒ

Only a month late 🫣
First stop of our big adventure was champagne and it was magical. Beautiful buildings, big open spaces, great food, had a ball with new friends and of course the champagne was flowing šŸ„‚
