Beautiful evening at for my monthly sound bath and group healing 🧡

Today I also had the pleasure of weaving sound into somatic therapy sessions, I love an opportunity to weave my offerings together! ✨

When did “grounded” become the ultimate nervous system goal?

A lot of nervous system education online has unintentionally turned regulation into a very narrow picture of calm, slow, still.

But many healthy nervous systems, particularly neurodivergent ones they simply don’t live there all the time.

Movement, curiosity, faster thinking, and creative energy aren’t always signs of dysregulation, sometimes that is the regulated baseline.

Somatic work isn’t about forcing ourselves into a permanently calm state, rather it’s about building the capacity to move between states with more choice and less overwhelm.

Regulation is flexibility.

1. Rest is treatment, not laziness.
Especially with chronic illness. Especially with ADHD. Especially in luteal phase.
2. Pacing is a power move.
Sustainable nervous systems > productivity spikes.
3. You cannot mindset your way out of mast cells.
Regulation supports physiology, it doesn’t replace medical reality.
4. Low-capacity days deserve structure, not shame.
Kettle check-ins. Floor time. Electrolytes. One email. Done.
5. Sleep is sacred.
For migraines. For mood stability. For MCAS. For literally everything.
6. Accessibility is non-negotiable in healing spaces.
Chairs, options, stim toys, lights adjusted, no forced eye contact.
7. Hyper-independence is often trauma dressed as capability.
Community regulation is medicine.
8. Your body changing across your cycle is not a character flaw.
Luteal sensitivity ≠ regression.
9. Chronic illness grief is real and deserves space.
You can be spiritually grounded and still furious.
10. Joy is regulation.
Dog walks. Nature. Loud music. Climbing days. Dressing how you want.
Pleasure is nervous system work. 🔥

🌿 Room Available in Ratho Village 🌿

My previous housemate has moved back down to England, so I’m looking for a lovely human to join me and Topaz in a cosy 3 bed cottage in Ratho, posting on behalf of my landlady 🐾

The room is a double downstairs with your own private bathroom. I have my own ensuite upstairs, so the house feels nicely balanced in terms of space and privacy.

The cottage has:
🔥 a wood-burning stove
🌸 a big garden for summer evenings and pottering
🌊 canal walks right on the doorstep
🧗‍♀️ a short walk to the Edinburgh International Climbing Centre
✈️ easy access to the airport

It’s village life but also still not so far from the city. There is public transport, but realistically it’s easier if you drive.

I work mostly from home but also spend some time out for events or in person client sessions so the house suits someone who values a calm, respectful and fairly grounded environment. I’m into cosy evenings, nature walks, creative projects and a yoga.

Because Topaz has major surgery coming up, I can’t accommodate additional dogs at the moment. 💛

I’m looking for someone with open communication who perhaps enjoys village life, nature, climbing, holistic living or similar vibes.

If this feels aligned, send me a message and we can arrange a little chat 🧡

If you know of anyone interested I’d love if you could let them know 🙏🏻

Dynamic disabilities are wild. You might see a snapshot of strength, but behind it is so much invisible effort, setbacks, pacing, rehab, and support.

A massive shout out to the life saving medications I take daily and the recent courses of antibiotics, the treatments, the medical bag with rescue meds I carry everywhere I go - that genuinely keep me alive. Without them, I likely wouldn’t be here. There doesn’t need to be a war between Eastern and Western approaches, both have their place, and right now I’m deeply grateful for the care that’s made this moment possible and life changing medication that’s been introduced this past week which has made climbing possible again.

Moments like this remind me why I care so much about the work I do, holding space for complexity, meeting people where they are, and honouring the many layers of healing.

A big, quiet celebration today after a turbulent year and a half off the wall 🤍

And a shout out to on showing me the ropes again!

So many people I work with are living at the intersection of neurodivergence, chronic illness, and trauma history.

And it can be hard to explain to others why you can be capable one day and completely flattened the next. Or why sensory input, transitions, stress, or social time can wipe you out. Or why you can look “fine” while your system is working overtime.

From my own lived experience of managing all three, I know how important it is that support doesn’t demand more effort from an already overworked system.

In my sessions we keep things bite-sized, collaborative, consent-led, and realistic. We work with capacity changes, we plan for flare days, and we focus on building steadier ground in everyday life, not pushing you into big practices that feel overwhelming.

If you’d like to work together, you’re welcome to book a free discovery call and we’ll find a pace that feels manageable. 🙏🏻✨
