I've had my first troll! Four years in and I've finally got one. 😂

It certainly wasn't me at the marylin Manson concert, I wouldn't go to see him if I had a free ticket.
However I won't lie, I have been known as a bit of a beast in the mosh pit. Getting too old for it now though 😂
Sounds to me like "Sara" needs to stay away from metal gigs. It's a fake profile unfortunately, but if someone went to all the effort of making one just to leave a comment for little old me, I'm feeling very popular. 😏

You may have noticed it’s been a little quieter on here. There’s been a lot happening behind the scenes at Zala — some natural team changes, new faces joining, and all of us taking time to settle in together and shape the next phase of what we’re creating.

Alongside that, I’ve been giving myself space to focus on my own wellbeing. I’m currently in EMDR therapy, and although I won’t be sharing the details here, I believe in being open about the reality of doing this work. There will be a protective container where you can follow along for more information if you wish. A place we can heal together and talk about the subjects we feel like we can't speak about usually. Normalising therapy and nervous system care is something I’m deeply passionate about, and it’s important to me to model that openly and responsibly.

This quieter period has been about recalibrating, grounding, and making sure the foundations — both personal and organisational — are steady and aligned.

Thank you for your patience while everything finds its place. As you already know, Zala very much goes with the flow cyclically and that will always be the case. I’ll be sharing more soon as we continue building, integrating and creating together. 🌿

🌿 Welcome to Zala Wellbeing 🌿

I’m so happy to announce that Alexandra Chance has officially joined Zala Wellbeing as a Director and member of our growing team.
With many years experience working and healing in the community her work bridges Reiki, shamanic practice, and elemental wisdom — beautifully complementing Zala’s ethos of integrating modern wellbeing with ancient, nature-rooted traditions.

Please join me in giving Alexandra a warm welcome as she shares her introduction below in her own words, we feel so lucky to have her by our side.

"Greetings, I'm Alexandra — it’s a great feeling and a blessed honour to be joining the Zala Wellbeing team.
Originally from Hampshire, my home is now in the South of Wales.

For me, community and wellbeing are deeply interconnected, and my journey with wellbeing has created this portal. Many years ago, on the path of meditation and mindfulness, I aligned with the wisdom of energies and how my emotions are related so deeply to how they either flow or become blocked. I had a hunger for this mysterious wisdom, and it led me to the chakra systems.

As my path evolved, I found myself able to navigate both my own and others’ energetic bodies through healing. A plethora of exciting abilities continue to develop and grow alongside ancient wisdom.

I am a Reiki Master/Teacher, and it is intrinsic to my nature to create with the elements around me, just as our ancestors were guided.

My specialities include shamanism, plant medicine ceremonies — such as cacao, mugwort, or rose to name a few — womb healing, chakra clearing, cleansing, and sound healing sessions.

I feel blessed to bring these gifts to Zala Wellbeing and to share in our collective empowerment together."

🌿 Living Well Series — Session Two 🌿

On Wednesday we gathered at Kenny’s Vinyl Vault for another beautiful mindfulness workshop.
It filled my heart to see how something so simple — pausing, breathing, reconnecting — can bring more joy into people’s lives.

This is what it’s all about: small moments of awareness that ripple outward 💛
Thank you for sharing Sarah Bryant!

Here is a little word from the woman herself and check her out on our https://zalawellbeing.uk/whoarewe page.

Samhain Reflections 🌑🔥

Yesterday we ran our yearly Samhain circle — possibly the most powerful we’ve ever held. Certainly not for the faint of heart.
It was our final circle in the tent this year; she held us safe from the elements, warmed by the fire’s steady glow.
It was also our first collaboration circle — the birth of new things to come.

I’m forever in awe of the women who show up and share so vulnerably with one another, often having never met before. That’s real magic. ✨

This circle arrived at a time of deep integration for me personally, which made it all the more uncomfortable — and all the more necessary. I’m being called to leave behind what no longer serves, clearing and making space for what’s next.

If you’ve been feeling lack or stagnancy in your own life, I invite you to do the same.
Clearing in this way opens us up to the new things waiting to take root. It can be painful work, but when we move with the earth’s rhythm, we learn to compost what’s no longer needed — letting it transform beneath the winter soil so that we can emerge renewed in the spring. 🌱

Over the winter we’ll be hosting a few gentle sessions — mostly crafting circles — where we can gather indoors, around the warmth of the hearth, and continue to support one another as we rest and compost what no longer serves.

There’s so much to look forward to. Compost nourishes growth. 🌿
