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.

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.

Take a moment today to pause, breathe, and come back to yourself.

The Gift of Calm for Someone Who Has Everything

Finding the right present for someone who’s impossible to buy for can feel like a puzzle. They don’t need more hankies or another jumper, but you still want to give them something that matters.

This year, instead of another “thing,” why not give them an experience that nourishes, lingers, and becomes part of their story?

Most gifts fade into the background or end up in the regifting pile. This one creates a moment — a pause, a breath, a reset.

A 60-minute online hypnotherapy session is time carved out just for them. It’s an experience they’ll remember, revisit, and carry with them long after the hour ends.

It’s thoughtful, it’s personal and it’s tailored to what they need. And best of all, they can enjoy at a time that suits them, from the comfort of their own home.

What’s included

✨ A personalised gift certificate (print at home or send digitally)
✨ A 60-minute live online relaxation hypnotherapy session

This is a gift that is

🌿 Unusual – an experience they likely haven’t tried before
🌿 Universal – the gift of calm suits everyone
🌿 Personal – tailored to exactly what they need in the moment

How it works — simple and stress-free
1. Contact me to purchase the voucher and it arrives by email
2. Give the gift – print it out or send it digitally.
3. They book the appointment – clear instructions are included; they choose a day and time that suits them.
4. Enjoy deep relaxation – a full hour of guided calm, completely online.

No fuss. No hidden extras. Just a straightforward, meaningful gift that leaves them lighter, calmer, and deeply restored.

If you’d like to ask anything or need support just let me know.

Somehow… it’s December. Already. And I am definitely not organised, I’m not even close. But I’ve decided this year the To-Do lists can wait as the important moments don’t.

This year, I’m choosing not to let stress steal the joy. I’ll get there in the end, I always do, and in the meantime, I’m focusing on the moments that truly matter.

For some, December is pure magic. For others, it can feel overwhelming, emotional, or simply a lot. If that’s you, I hope this month is gentle, kind, and filled with small good things that make you feel safe and supported.

And if you’re like me — still juggling gifts and plans with a slightly panicked grimace — here’s something a little different to give (or receive)…

Hypnotherapy Gift Vouchers, A thoughtful way to offer someone (or yourself!) a fresh start, a calmer mind, and confidence that lasts well into the New Year.

If you’re curious, just drop me a message and I’ll share more.

- Fun fact, Santa didn’t always wear red.
Once upon a time, he was dressed in green — until a certain big brand decided red felt more festive for their marketing. And now? We can’t imagine him any other way. If Santa can reinvent himself — so can we.

A little reminder: change often feels strange at first… until suddenly, it feels like it’s always been that way.

Happy Halloween!

27/10/2025

It’s Halloween week — the perfect time to remember that normal is a total illusion. We spend so much of our lives trying to “fit in,” to be the right amount of confident, calm, pretty, productive, fun, tidy, spontaneous, and if it’s possible I’ve not worked out how it can be done.

But there’s no such thing as normal. What feels natural for one person can feel like chaos for another, and that’s okay. We all have our own unique wiring. Thoughts, emotions, experiences, these all shape us, making each of us perfectly, uniquely us.

So this week, if you catch yourself comparing or trying to blend in, this is the perfect week to embrace your quirks as it really would be boring if we were all the same.

Autumn has truly arrived here and it’s my favourite season. Crisp air, golden light, the smell of fires and trees gently releasing their leaves. Once again natures is showing us how to let go with ease.

What if we followed suit? Letting go of anxiety, overwhelm, excess weight, or habits that no longer serve us. Not with force, or willpower or struggles, but with kindness. Not because we’re broken, but because we’re ready.

Imagine stepping into the festive season lighter — emotionally, physically, spiritually. Unencumbered with more space for joy, connection, and the things that truly matter.

If now is the time to for you to just let go, you can click here to book a free,no obligation discovery call to see how hypnotherapy can help
