💡The Mind–Body Connection ✨

Something that often comes up in my work - and my own learning - is just how deeply our emotions and body are connected.

Many people living with chronic pain or fatigue describe feeling emotionally heavy, burnt out, or like they’ve been carrying too much for too long.
When I read this description of fibromyalgia in The Secret Language of the Body, it really struck me:

“Feeling unwanted, knocked down by life’s challenges; overstressed. Lacking the strength to get up and keep going. Too much to do, and not enough time or energy to do it. Life feels like a fight. Feeling stuck, resistant to growth and exploration. Overflowing with sadness, regret, guilt and worry. Feeling depressed, suppressed, and on guard.”

It’s powerful - and it makes you think about how the body sometimes “speaks” when our emotions haven’t yet been expressed or released.

If this resonates, two books I often recommend are:
📘 The Body Keeps the Score — Bessel van der Kolk
📗 The Secret Language of the Body — Inna Segal

At Deep Roots Therapy, I help people explore that mind-body link through hypnotherapy and past life regression - releasing stored emotions, calming the nervous system, and supporting the body to heal from the inside out.

Healing isn’t just in the mind - it’s a full-body conversation. 💚

✨ Triggers aren't weakness - they're messengers..

This post stopped me in my tracks this morning.
Because so often we judge ourselves for how we react… instead of asking why.

Triggers don’t mean you’re broken and they often point to what’s still asking to be seen, heard, and healed.
So if you recognise yourself in any of these, you’re not alone.

And there’s nothing wrong with you!

Healing is possible — and the root causes can be addressed.
That’s the kind of work I do at Deep Roots Therapy.

💬 DM me if this hit something and you want to explore more gently.

🌿 Healing isn't linear - and neither is life.

This past fortnight, I’ve had to reflect deeply on a few things.
A pause. A setback at physio. A reminder from my Achilles recovery that healing - real healing - asks us to stop and listen.

As a therapist, I've witnessed clients feeling better after one session… but it doesn’t always mean the work is done.
You’re unravelling years of habits, beliefs, and emotional patterns.
Your subconscious mind might test the waters: “Are you sure you’re ready to change?”

I genuinely sit with that, too.

Last weekend, during the most amazing Sound Healing training, something big came up.
An old part of me - the people pleaser - the one that doesn’t ask for help. That keeps it together. That hides the tears.

And it was Tasha Ponton with her array of instruments, toolkit and grounded kindness, who held the space I didn’t know I still needed. The tears came, she encouraged them and I let them. I felt heard and seen. I strongly recommend her course and her healing for anyone in or . She is incredible. 🙏

That’s what I strive to do for others at Deep Roots Therapy.
And even as a therapist, I need that too.

Healing isn’t about having it all together.
It’s about being brave enough to keep going, even in the dark.
To keep showing up.
To keep letting go.
To be held when you need to fall apart.

And then… to rise again. A little lighter. A little freer.

If you're ready to shift something, I’m here.
Free consultations available this month. I come with no pressure, no judgment. Just space.

Although I’m based in Banbury and have wonderful spaces available, I know that location can sometimes feel like a barrier to getting the right support.

Recently, I was asked by a client if I’d be willing to work a little closer to her home and work. The answer was simple: yes. I found a therapy room in Warwick that suited us both, and it made the process smooth and stress-free.

For me, therapy is about more than the techniques — it’s about the relationship. You’re trusting someone to help you release things that may have been weighing on you for years. That trust begins with rapport, which we’d already built during our online consultation, and continued seamlessly in person.

So whether it’s online, in Banbury, or in Warwick — I’m willing to meet you where you are, and support you on the journey you need. 🌱

🌞 How does your morning routine start?

A gratitude journal and a slow stretch?
A strong coffee and a few quiet moments?
Or a dog walk (like me —
doesn’t let me skip it 🐾💙)?

One of my favourite ‘weeds’ — this gorgeous wild blue flower — has come back again since last year. A little reminder that growth and renewal can happen quietly, and right on time.

However you start your day, try bringing a bit more mindfulness into your morning tomorrow.

What can you see, hear, smell, feel?

And yes… if you can’t tell, I do love blue 💙😉

If you need a boost, I really recommend Paul Brunson’s morning affirmations — they’re a lovely way to set the tone. Focus, Abundance, Positive thinking are my favourites.

How do you start your day? Share below or drop a 🌞 if you’re setting an intention to begin more mindfully tomorrow.

✨ 7/7 Portal Energy ✨

Today is believed to be a powerful energetic portal — a moment to release old patterns, reconnect to your inner wisdom, and set intentions for what truly matters.

You might feel a little spinny, emotional, or extra reflective today (I definitely have!). It's a perfect day to slow down, breathe deeply, and ground yourself in nature.

I’ll be taking time later to walk in the trees and reflect — and of course, Bailey will be coming too 🐾🌳.

What are you ready to let go of today? And what would you love to invite in?

Drop a 🌱 below if you're setting new intentions — I'd love to hear.

Last night, I had one of those interesting, vivid dreams — the kind that leaves you feeling emotional and thoughtful when you wake up.

In the dream, I felt left out, trying to fit in at a party. There were faces from my childhood & schools, reminders of moving often and always having to find my place in new groups. Growing up with my dad in the RAF, we moved every three-ish years, which meant making new friends and starting over again and again.

Looking back now, I can see how these experiences made me strong and sociable, but it wasn’t always sunshine and light.

There were also old bosses and colleagues from jobs over the past decade. It felt like my mind was weaving together old stories of trying to fit in — whether in the classroom, at a new school, or in different workplaces.

The possible trigger? Maybe recent social media posts about school friends’ promotions and reunions, or seeing former colleagues celebrating milestones. All subtle reminders that can bring up those old feelings of “not quite belonging.”

In the dream, there was a celebration party where I didn’t quite belong, and I somehow ended up in a ‘detention’ scenario. As a child, the idea of detention terrified me. I was always so afraid of disappointing my parents and not being “good.”

Imagine unpacking all of that on a Sunday morning!

So when I woke up, I wrote it all down. (If you’ve worked with me, you’ll know I always encourage writing your dreams down as soon as you can!)

What I’ve worked through — and continue to work through — is that even in adult life, I may not always fit in everywhere. And that’s okay.

Dreams are our subconscious mind’s way of processing. They mix old emotions, experiences, and fears we thought we had moved past, but they come back to help us heal and grow.

💭 A gentle invitation:
Do you remember your dreams? Have they ever helped you uncover old patterns or feelings you didn’t expect?

I’d love to hear if you feel called to share. And if you'd like support exploring what your subconscious might be telling you, my door is always open.

🌿 Deep Roots Therapy — uncover, process, and grow from the inside out.

🧬✨ Science Sunday: The Fascinating History of Hypnosis

When most people think of hypnosis, they imagine swinging watches and stage shows. But did you know hypnosis has been used for healing and pain relief since the 18th century?

👉 From the early work of Franz Mesmer (yes — that’s where the word "mesmerise" comes from!) to modern clinical hypnotherapy supported by brain imaging studies, hypnosis has a rich and scientific history.

Today, we know it’s not about losing control — it’s about gaining access to your powerful subconscious mind to support real change, like managing anxiety, overcoming fears, or building confidence.

✨ Curious to learn more about where hypnosis began and how it evolved into our therapeutic tool today?

🧠💚 Check out my first blog post on this topic here -

✨ Throwback to something truly special…

One week ago I had the honour of holding space for a beautiful group of parents at the stunning Grey Barn Events, all brought together so thoughtfully by Kesia and Jo. 💛

The group hypnotherapy session I led focused on emotional clearance, self-love, and reconnecting with the incredible inner libraries these mums already hold — their knowledge, wisdom, and deep capacity to love and support their neurodivergent children.

I was told afterwards how relaxed so many of them felt — but also how present they were.
One mum said she could hear every word clearly and visualise it all — and it reminded me just how common the misconception is that you’ll be “zonked out” during hypnosis.
(Most people aren’t! And I’ll be uploading a video soon to talk more about that.)

This session was one of those truly wholesome, heart-filling moments — and I’d love to do more like it.

If you know a group of people who deserve a moment like this — to reset, receive, and just breathe — I’d be so happy to volunteer my time and passion to support them.

Thank you again to everyone who was in that room. You were magic 🌿
