Just facilitated a beautiful private group sound bath for a lovely group of women, feeling truly grateful to do this work. ✨

Small group sound baths offer a more personal experience, the sound and energy can be attuned to the group, allowing for deeper relaxation, release and connection.

If you’d like to experience one for yourself, my next open group sound baths are happening in November at The Chakra Room, Ramsbottom, details coming soon. 🕯️💫

✨ Sound Bath Sessions Coming Soon ✨

I’m excited to be launching a series of sound baths, deeply immersive experiences designed to calm your nervous system, restore balance, and create space for healing.

Unlike simply listening to music, a sound bath uses the natural vibrations of instruments such as crystal bowls, gongs and chimes to gently guide your body and mind into a state of deep relaxation. Many people describe feeling lighter, clearer, and more grounded afterwards, as though their whole system has been “reset.”

These sessions aren’t just soothing; they’re carefully curated by me as a trauma-informed counsellor & psychotherapist, yoga teacher, expert trainer and somatic practitioner. That means each sound journey is held with safety, intention and care, weaving together science, therapeutic skill and holistic practice.

Sound baths can, for some:
✨Reduce stress and anxiety
✨Support sleep and restfulness
✨Ease physical tension
✨Improve mood and mental clarity
✨Encourage emotional release and resilience

Whether you’re looking for calm, connection or simply a restorative pause, these sessions are an invitation to step away from the busyness and gift yourself time to breathe and reset.

🌙 Dates and booking details will be released soon, keep an eye out if you’d like to be one of the first to experience it.

When someone has lived through trauma, it isn’t always easy, or even possible, to put it into words. Often, the body carries memories and expresses the impact in ways language can’t.

Flashbacks, anxiety, dissociation, sudden anger, or shutting down are not “problems to fix,” but signposts. They are the body’s way of showing us what has been endured, even when the mind can’t tell the tale.

This is why, in trauma-informed work, we don’t only listen to the words spoken, we notice the pauses, the body language, the patterns of reaction. The symptoms are not failures; they are messages. They hold the story of survival.

When we shift from asking “What’s wrong with you?” to “What happened to you and how is your body showing us?” we open the door to healing with compassion, rather than judgment.

A busy day in the office on Friday. Back to back appointments, a request for mindfulness training and designing a much needed yoga for wellbeing workshop for the new year.

Perspective matters, but let’s be real…

This image captures a truth, sometimes the way we view a situation can change how it feels. Shifting perspective can bring relief, calm, or even a sense of possibility.

But there’s also another truth, some things simply hurt. When we lose someone we love, when trauma strikes, when life shakes us to the core, no change of perspective makes that “feel better.” It’s painful, it’s unfair, and it’s okay to say it’s s**t.

Being trauma-informed means holding space for both truths. Yes, sometimes reframing helps, and sometimes the most healing thing we can do is to honour the reality of the pain, without trying to put a positive spin on it.

Healing comes not from denying the dark, but from allowing ourselves to feel it and to be supported through it.
