The importance of self-validation 🤍

Self-validation is one of the most empowering things we can cultivate within ourselves. It means trusting our own feelings, thoughts, and choices without needing constant approval from others.

It’s vital that we allow ourselves to make our own decisions and choices, how we live, what we wear, where we go, and what feels right for us. No matter what you decide, there will always be someone with an opinion. Someone who disagrees, laughs, criticises, or projects their own fears and limitations onto your path. That doesn’t mean you’re wrong.

When we learn to self-validate, we stop handing our power away. We stop shrinking ourselves to keep others comfortable. We begin to stand confidently in our own truth, knowing that our inner voice matters.

In a world where we are constantly bombarded with opinions, judgement, and negativity, choosing to trust yourself is a radical and empowering act. Make your own decisions. Honour your own needs. Validate yourself.

Your life is yours!
Be empowered. 🌿✨

🌿 Feeling Nervous About Coming to a Yoga Class? 🌿

I often receive messages from people saying they’d love to come along to my Yoga Therapy class, but they feel too nervous, too anxious, or not flexible enough to join.

Please let me reassure you, we don’t do headstands, we don’t do the splits, and there’s absolutely no pressure to achieve any kind of “perfect” pose. We don’t chant or use mudras (symbolic hand gestures) This isn’t traditional yoga, it’s yoga therapy, where we use the gentle tools of yoga to help you move better, breathe better, and feel better.

The classes are small, very friendly, and very relaxed. It’s always a comfortable, welcoming space. Everyone who attends is kind, supportive, and understanding, and everybody is welcome to come along and simply try a class to see how it feels for you.

We focus on learning how to breathe properly, how to align the body, and how to move in ways that support your overall wellbeing. Each class combines strength, balance, mobility and stretch to help create harmony and balance throughout the body, leaving you feeling both grounded and uplifted.

With nearly 20 years experience as a holistic health practitioner, much of my work has involved helping people understand how to stretch and move their bodies safely and effectively. These yoga therapy classes are a natural extension of that, an opportunity to bring movement, mindfulness, and healing together in a gentle, supportive environment.

✨ Yoga Therapy can help with:

🌿 Stress and anxiety management
🌿 Chronic pain or injury recovery
🌿 Improving mobility and balance
🌿 Enhancing sleep quality
🌿 Supporting mental wellbeing

✨ Who is it for?

These classes are suitable for all levels, including complete beginners, and especially those looking for a gentle, therapeutic approach to yoga.

This is not how I like to run my business but sadly have been given no other option.

The pre-payment policy does NOT Apply to my existing clients.

Important Booking Policy Update!

From immediate effect, all NEW clients will be required to pay the full amount upfront at the time of booking in order to secure their appointment.

This policy has been put in place following a recent late cancellation, made just 30 minutes before the appointment, which unfortunately left me financially out of pocket, as the requested cancellation fee was not paid. Late cancellations make it impossible to refill appointments at such short notice.

Cancellation Policy
• Cancellations made with more than 48 hours notice will receive a full refund
• Cancellations made within 48 hours of the appointment will be charged the full session fee

Over the past two weeks I have turned away multiple appointment requests, including from friends and family, as I have been completely fully booked, only to then be left with unused appointment time due to late cancellations.

As a small business, my time, availability, and commitment to each client are extremely valuable. This policy ensures fairness, protects my livelihood, and allows me to continue offering a reliable and professional service to everyone.

Thank you for your understanding and respect for these boundaries.

The Power of Validation 💚

Validation is one of the most healing things we can offer another human being.

When someone shares how they feel, they are not asking to be fixed, corrected, or told they are wrong. They are asking to be seen, heard, and acknowledged.

When feelings are invalidated, through being shut down, disregarded, minimised, or met with phrases like “don’t be silly,” “you’re overreacting,” or “it’s not that bad”it can be deeply damaging. Over time, this teaches a person that their inner experience doesn’t matter. That their emotions are inconvenient, wrong, or unworthy of space.

Being repeatedly invalidated can lead someone to doubt themselves, suppress their feelings, and disconnect from their own needs. It can quietly erode self-worth and create the belief: “My feelings don’t count.”

Validation doesn’t mean you have to agree with someone’s perspective. It simply means you recognise that their feelings are real to them. Listening without judgement, allowing space, and responding with empathy tells the nervous system: “I am safe. I matter.”

When we validate one another, we build trust, emotional safety, and connection. When we invalidate, even unintentionally, we can cause lasting harm.

Your feelings are valid.
Your experience matters.
You deserve to be heard.

🌿 Why Calming the Central Nervous System Is Essential for Your Whole Body 🌿

In today’s fast-paced world, our central nervous system is constantly working overtime. When we take intentional steps to calm it, we’re not just helping our minds feel clearer and more grounded, we’re creating real, measurable physiological changes throughout the entire body.

When the nervous system begins to settle, our stress hormones, particularly cortisol and adrenaline start to lower. These hormones are incredibly useful when we need to respond to danger, but when they stay high for too long, they place strain on almost every organ in the body. By calming the nervous system, we ease that strain.

💛 What actually happens when we soothe the nervous system?
• Our heart slows and begins to beat more efficiently.
• Our lungs open up, deepening the breath and improving oxygen flow.
• Our digestive system starts to switch back on, supporting healthier digestion and gut function.
• Our muscles and fascia soften, releasing tension and promoting flexibility.
• Our immune system becomes stronger because it’s no longer suppressed by constant stress.
• Our brain becomes clearer, more focused, and better able to make balanced decisions.

Calming the central nervous system benefits every single organ, every system, and every layer of our being, physical, emotional, and energetic. Whether it’s through meditation, breathwork, sound therapy, gentle movement, or simply slowing down for a few moments, these small practices create powerful changes.

Taking time to settle your nervous system isn’t a luxury, it’s a vital act of self-care that supports your long-term health, resilience, and overall wellbeing. 🌿✨
