Hello February — I’m loving that the light is finally stretching a wee bit longer each day.
It’s definitely still freezing, my coat is still zipped to the chin, but something in the air has shifted.

This weekend, I dragged my husband to the cinema. The least said about the movie the better. But stepping out of the house, breaking the winter hibernation even for a little while. that tiny act sparked something.

Yesterday I woke up feeling all motivated and awake. I tidied, I planned, I pottered. Nothing dramatic, just that quiet sense of feeling perked up.

Change rarely comes as a lightning bolt. It begins with a small action that tells your mind, We’re shifting now. A spark. A little opening. A reminder that it’s safe to re‑emerge.

So here’s to February — the month of slowly shedding winter cocoons and finding yourself again.

If you’ve noticed even a flicker of energy returning, trust it. And if you feel like you could use a gentle nudge to reconnect with your own spark, I’d love to help you find it.

It’s been one of those weeks where the wind feels like it has its own agenda — not dramatic, just constant and persistent. The kind of low‑level battering that somehow drains you more than last year’s full‑blown Storm Éowyn ever did.

And that’s how so many people are describing their anxiety right now.

Not a crisis.
Not a collapse.
Just a steady pressure that never quite lets up.

The windows tremble. Sleep sits lighter. Your shoulders tense without you even noticing. And even when your mind knows you’re safe, your body is still bracing.

Your nervous system isn’t overreacting — it’s responding to days of noise, uncertainty, and no real stillness.

And just like the weather, moods can move through when we stop trying to fix them. Some things are meant to roll over us, not be wrestled into place.

When the outside world won’t settle, it can feel almost impossible to create a pocket of calm on the inside. But it’s so worth it, just giving yourself space to let your system exhale.

That’s where hypnotherapy can help: a gentle way for your body to soften, slow down, and find its quiet centre again… even if the wind is still howling.

If any of this lands with you, if you’re tired of holding everything together, if your body is asking for rest before your mind catches up, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

You’re welcome to message me, have a quiet chat, or simply take the first small step toward feeling steadier again.

Apparently it’s Blue Monday, but what does that even mean?

We say we’re feeling blue out of habit, forgetting that it was only ever a metaphor.

Blue isn’t bad.
It can be calm seas and wide skies.
Wisdom. Healing. Stillness.

Yes, blue can hold sadness — but it can just as easily hold peace, clarity, and depth.

And this is the part that fascinates me: how easily the mind clings to old meanings, old patterns, old shortcuts… until we remember there are other options.

So ask yourself:
What colour do I actually feel today?
And if it is blue — which blue is it because you’re allowed to choose the shade that supports you.

And honestly, how could a day that also happens to be Dolly Parton’s birthday ever truly be called Blue Monday? A day with that much sparkle deserves a far brighter name.

Some weekends leave you a little quieter inside.
Not because anything dramatic happened, but because life leans in and asks, “Are you living the way you mean to?”

I’ve spent the last couple of days with people who remind me what a life well lived really looks like — not the highlight reel, but the everyday kindness, the showing up, the generosity without keeping score, the ability to appreciate what you have without resenting anyone else.

It’s so easy to drift. To worry about things that don’t matter. To forget kindness when we’re tired or distracted. To forget that every small moment is a choice.

A life well lived isn’t complicated.
It’s shaped by tiny decisions:
Be kind. Be generous. Wish others well. Let people know they matter.

Because how we live is how we’re remembered — in the feeling we leave behind.

So here’s to living on purpose, and making the time we have count, gently and honestly.

First Monday of the year, the decorations are down, the emails are back, and today feels like the real beginning. A clean slate disguised as an ordinary Monday.

So here’s the question I’m sitting with — and maybe you are too:

If it could be easy, what would you change?

Not what “should” you change
Not what’s “realistic”
Not what’s the “sensible”next step

Just…
If it could be easy.
If the path opened up.
If the resistance softened.
If you didn’t have to wrestle with it this time.

What would you change?
Your mornings?
Your mindset?
Your boundaries?
Your habits?
Your confidence?
Your relationship with food, work, rest, or yourself?

Today is a perfect day to name it — quietly, boldly, or somewhere in between.
The year has only just begun, and you get to decide what you’re walking toward.

So tell me…
If it could be easy, what would you change?

Happy New Year

I’ve got two lovely visitors just now, and in true canine fashion they’ve already claimed the best spot in front of the fire, had a proper sniff round the garden, and accepted head rubs like it’s my sole purpose in life to dish them out.

They’re asleep now by the fire — gentle snores, legs twitching in dreamland — and I find myself just watching them, impressed by how completely they seem to have life figured out.

This year, I’m going to try and be more like them:
• Enjoy the moment you’re in
• Trust that everything is okay
• Accept love when it’s offered
• Know who to turn to for a cuddle when you need one
• And always find the warmest spot in the room

Wishing you a year of softness, strength, and knowing where to turn when you need support.

And maybe, just maybe, a little more space to rest your nervous system and remember that you don’t have to have it all worked out — sometimes it’s enough to simply be warm, safe, and at peace.

31/12/2025

As the year comes to an end, I just want to say thank you — to my lovely clients, and to everyone who has trusted me, recommended me, or quietly supported my work this year. Working with you has been a privilege, and something I never take for granted.

Over the coming days, we’ll see plenty of highlight reels and “what a year” posts. They can be inspiring — but they’re never the full story. So if your insides don’t match someone else’s outsides, please know you’re not behind or failing. You’re human.

And remember, there’s no rule that says this moment has to be one of reflection or reinvention. New Year hasn’t always fallen on 1st January (in Scotland it was the 25th March until a few hundred years ago) and it’s celebrated at different times all over the world. It really is just a date — not a deadline.

However you’re feeling right now is okay. And if you feel a gentle nudge to pause, to be kinder to yourself, or to reach out for support, you’re very welcome to do so.

Here’s to being human, in all the ways that matter.

Why do we over‑eat if our subconscious is only trying to protect us?

When I talk to clients about over‑eating the biggest surprise is often that it’s not really about the food. Not really.

Your subconscious isn’t trying to sabotage your health or your goals. It’s trying to soothe you.

Over‑eating is often your mind saying:

You’ve had a hard day — you deserve comfort.
You’re overwhelmed — here’s something grounding.
You’re lonely — here’s warmth.
You’re stressed — here’s a distraction.
You’re running on empty — here’s something predictable and safe.

Food becomes a stand‑in for emotional nourishment. A quick hit of calm, something comforting or a moment of relief.

And it works, for a few minutes. So your subconscious keeps offering the same solution, thinking it’s helping.

But when you understand what the real need is, comfort, connection, grounding, rest, you can meet it in ways that actually support you.

The behaviour isn’t the problem. The unmet need underneath it is.

And once you meet that need directly, the urge to over‑eat, or the unconscious habit to reach for something , naturally softens.

Anything learned can be unlearned.

If the subconscious only does things to keep you safe or bring you pleasure… why on earth do we smoke?

When I smoked, I only genuinely enjoyed one or two ci******es out of the 15–20 I had each day.
And I never once thought smoking was protecting me from anything, so why do it?

But now that I’ve stopped, I can see it so clearly. When the craving hit, my body wasn’t asking for a cigarette. It was asking for a moment.

A pause.
A deep breath.
A reason to step away from stress or noise.

Your subconscious links “cigarette = relief”, even though logically we know it’s not helping.
It’s not craving ni****ne — it’s craving calm.

And when you understand what the real need is — space, breath, grounding — you can meet it in healthier, kinder ways.

The habit isn’t the enemy. The misunderstanding is. Misunderstandings can be cleared up, and anything learned can be unlearned.

27/12/2025

Here’s something most people don’t realise - your subconscious isn’t trying to ruin your life.
Even when the behaviour looks messy or harmful on the outside it’s still trying to do good because it only has two jobs:

keep you safe
or
bring you comfort.

That’s it. And it will choose those two things even if the strategy it learned years ago is no longer what’s best for you.

• Smoking — your subconscious thinks you need a break. A moment to breathe slowly, step away, reset. It’s not the cigarette you crave… it’s the pause.

• Over‑eating — it’s trying to soothe you, ground you, nourish you, or fill an emotional gap. Food becomes comfort, not hunger.

• Drinking too much — it thinks you need to relax, switch off, feel safer socially, or force fun by having more of the thing that feels good, even if it stops feeling good the more you have.

• Procrastination — it’s protecting you from overwhelm, fear of failure, or even fear of success. Delay feels safer than risk.

• People‑pleasing — it believes approval keeps you safe. If everyone’s happy, you won’t be rejected.

• Doom‑scrolling — it’s distracting you from uncomfortable feelings or giving you the illusion of being “prepared”.

• Binge‑watching — it’s offering escape, numbness, or a predictable world when life feels too much.

None of these behaviours mean you’re weak or broken. They’re simply outdated strategies your subconscious learned a long time ago.

And the beautiful thing is that anything learned can be unlearned — gently, safely, and with compassion.

Twixmas magic has officially kicked in.

I really did have the loveliest day yesterday — Christmas Day is wonderful, but let’s be honest, it’s never entirely stress‑free, no matter how much you adore the people you spend it with.

But today felt different. I woke up with that rare burst of motivation that only this in‑between week seems to bring. Before breakfast, I’d already cleared things out and taken a load to the recycling bin. It felt so good to shift some stagnant energy.

I’m claiming these last few days of the year as a gentle personal reset — a chance to check in with myself, clear out what’s not serving me, and let go of anything that’s been holding me back. No pressure, no grand declarations… just honest sorting, inside and out.

Here’s to making space for whatever’s meant to come next.

23/12/2025

If today feels like… a lot, you’re definitely not alone. The last Tuesday before Christmas can bring a strange mix of pressure, overwhelm, and that familiar sense that we should all be coping better.

Our nervous systems were never designed for the constant noise, expectations, and speed of modern life — and at this time of year, it can all feel amplified.

If you’re feeling stretched thin today, here are two gentle grounding tools you can use anywhere:

Slow breathing
Place a hand on your chest. Inhale gently through your nose… then exhale even more slowly.
Longer exhales signal safety to the nervous system and help bring you back into the present moment.

5-4-3-2-1 grounding
Notice:
5 things you can see
4 things you can touch
3 things you can hear
2 things you can smell
1 thing you can taste

A tiny reset that can soften racing thoughts and bring you back into your body.

With repetition, these small practices gently retrain the body to find calm more quickly and naturally — even on days like today.

If you’re struggling, or if someone you care about could use support, you’re always welcome to reach out. I also offer gift vouchers, which can be a thoughtful lifeline for someone who needs a little help finding their calm again.
