Take pauses throughout your day to create moments of stillness to quieten the mind, clear some space in your head and give your nervous system a chance to recalibrate.

This has been a 4-week program to reframe how and why we step into anxiety and overwhelm. Together, we’ve created daily tools to soothe and take us in AND out of the rest state.
There’s plenty of talk on social media about nervous system regulation, but it’s not only about calming our nervous system. We also need to challenge ourselves to create BALANCE via upregulation as well as downregulation - THIS is where resilience comes from.
The key is to recognise and understand what we are drawn to when we are struggling and to experience new things to build resilience and function in a positive, rather than overwhelming way.

Therapeutic touch to connect with your nervous system.
When pain or anxiety becomes chronic, or ongoing, the brain responds by unconsciously tensing or ‘armouring’ to protect.
Massaging muscles and soft tissues is rarely enough to help you relax and release tension.
This is why I offer more than a standard massage.
I’m qualified to support not just your physical body, but also your thinking brain, your subconscious brain, your immune system, emotions, energy levels, and your hormones.

Sometimes, it's about early nights and skipping the planned meetup with friends because it's been a long, hard week. It might be ignoring that voice in your head that says you're lazy or selfish. Right now, self care might mean staying home, watching a much loved film, or playing some music that makes you happy 🧡

My wonderful client has just completed a 6 session program with me. We met weekly for 90 mins to help them understand how the body can support their busy brain to slow down.
They discovered tools that work for them;
To ground and connect the body and head-space.
The art of rest.
To recognise feelings, sensations, and what they mean.
I’m looking forward to catching up with them in a couple of weeks 💛

Drinking coffee the moment you wake up is probably not a great idea…especially if you experience anxiety and stress.  

Your cortisol is already rising naturally without a caffeine boost, adding caffeine will create jitteriness and anxiety.

Instead, try avoiding caffeine for 60-90 minutes after waking.  That's when coffee will actually work, because it suppresses adenosine, the molecule that creates tiredness.

Cortisol can enhance alertness and focus. It also regulates your metabolism, immune system response, and blood pressure. 

It follows a rhythm specific to your sleep-wake cycle, with high levels that peak 30–45 minutes after rising and slowly decline throughout the rest of the day
