Nurtured Soul

05/12/2025

As the days draw in and the world gets quieter in one sense, I’ve been feeling the soft vibes of winter magic — exactly the kind that inspired my children’s book, Cyril the Squirrel and His Adventures Through the Seasons. It’s a reminder that each season has its own gifts if we pause long enough to notice them.

I used to really dislike Winter and the cold darkness it drew in but then something shifted within. It was one of those days where stillness just happened, there was no effort, no guilt, no need to be or do anything and I sat in wonder of the magic that Winter brought to the natural world. I listened to the birds, heard the shuffling of animals in the snow and watched as even the trees seemed to marvel at their own beauty as the snow dressed their branches. It was on that day, I discovered Cyril the Squirrel. He was a character I had carried with me since a child. I realised how many characters I had created and made friends with in my imagination, fairies, tree spirits, birds, badgers, foxes, dragons, they were all there always keeping me company.
The magic they brought, sparked a light deep in my heart and my eyes were once again filled with childhood delight and the comforts I found and I fell in love with Winter again.
This book was written from that place, a childhood journey that travels parallel to the map of our inner world. I poured my love into the books pages to help heal and inspire the children that read them.

Each doorway Cyril opens, a psychological door to new perspectives, creating new relationships with our environment. Our mind has the ability to bring comfort when we can feel lost or unsure, but to nurture the mind we must understand how to nurture the imagination……

This book is a magical interpretation of how the doorways of the mind are always a greater adventure to new perspectives and possibilities.

However this deeper thread does not take away the simple and joyful story of Cyril’s adventures..

A dark winter evening… the kind that feels alive with a little hush of magic.
With other women by your side, y
ou step into the warm glow of the sauna, the air rich and soft, your body sighing out the whole week. Then—when you’re ready—you slip into the cold plunge under the night sky, that electric rush waking every cell like a spark of winter starlight.

And afterwards? Hands wrapped around a steaming chai latte, spicy and sweet, the perfect finish to a night that feels half-ritual, half-treat.

A little pocket of midwinter magic.
A reset.
A glow-up for your soul.

New Moon in Scorpio….

This is the deep-clean, truth-telling, soul-level reset kind of moon. Scorpio doesn’t bother with surface-level fluff — it wants transformation, rebirth, the “let’s stop pretending and finally get real” vibe.
So this new moon is like cracking open a window in a room that’s been shut for too long. Fresh air. Raw honesty. Emotional clarity that feels both uncomfortable and wildly freeing.

Themes floating around it:
• Letting go of old emotional baggage that’s heavy and unnecessary
• Reclaiming your power where you’ve felt drained
• Big intuitive flashes, almost like your gut has a megaphone
• Starting something new that feels aligned with who you’re becoming, not who you used to be

It’s intense, but in that “I’m finally ready for this next chapter” way.

Now… Uranus + Mercury (a rare, spicy combo)
This is the lightning strike in the middle of all that Scorpionic depth.

Uranus is the planet of disruption, awakening, innovation — the shake-up artist.
Mercury is your mind, your voice, your communications, the way you process the world.

When these two link up in an unusual way during a Scorpio new moon?
It’s like a sudden download from the universe:
• breakthroughs
• unexpected clarity
• surprise news
• bold ideas you didn’t see coming
• saying something out loud you’ve been holding in
• seeing the truth behind something instantly, clearly, almost shockingly

It’s the energy of “Oh. Ohhh. THAT’S what’s been going on.”
A plot twist, but the kind that liberates you.

In real life terms: you might feel more intuitive, more switched on, more impatient with nonsense, and more drawn to making a decision that feels brave or overdue. You might speak your truth without overthinking it. You might get clarity you’ve been waiting for months.

Together?
This new moon + Uranus–Mercury connection is basically a cosmic mic drop.
A clean slate with a flash of inspiration.
A deep emotional reset paired with a disruptive insight that pushes you forward.

If you lean into it rather than resist it, it’s incredibly empowering.
Perfect for setting intentions around courage, truth, boundaries, healing, and big personal transformations.

Breastmilk supports a babies microbiome like nothing else on this planet!

• Breast milk naturally contains hundreds of different bacterial species — this is totally normal and part of its magic.
• Most of these bacteria are beneficial, like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, which help shape a baby’s gut microbiome.
• These friendly microbes support digestion, immune development, and protect against infections.
• The bacteria in breast milk come from two places:
• The skin and ni**le microbiome
• The mother’s entero-mammary pathway (gut bacteria that travel to the breast via immune cells — wild but real)
• Milk also contains prebiotics (HMOs — human milk oligosaccharides) that feed the good bacteria in the baby’s gut.
• The balance of bacteria can change based on things like mum’s diet, stress, antibiotics, and the stage of lactation.
• Colostrum (early milk) has the richest bacterial diversity and immune protection combo.
• These bacteria help train the baby’s immune system to respond calmly rather than overreact — lowering risks of allergies and eczema.
• Pumping vs feeding at breast can slightly change the bacterial profile, usually because of pump parts and storage, but it’s still safe when cleaned properly.
• Breast milk bacteria can help fight off harmful microbes by competing with them and producing protective substances.

If you need to bottle feed, don’t just go for what the ads tell you is best. Do your own research as there a lot of marketing out there and it’s not always got your best interest in mind.
At the end of the day, it’s your choice and you need to be happy with whatever you choose and if you need support or would like to explore options, please do get in touch and I’d be more than happy to help you explore what’s right for you ###

Celeriac soup and chopped hazelnuts…..

While everyone else in the family is enjoying Saturday night pizza, I’m taking care of myself.
Sometimes if you don’t have a doula, you just need to doula yourself!

Having children can change your stomach, bowels and digestion so it’s important to get intuitive with what you need and when you need it.

Yoga and exercise is similar-listening to what feeds your body and soul and honouring that.

If you need someone to come in and make some healthy nourishing foods, postpartum, I love to cook and have over 20 years experience of delving into nutrition including vegan and gluten free but happy to cook all sorts 🩷

How do you set yourself up for the day?

By waking up an hour earlier, you may find time to just be or do some gentle stretching, writing, reading, take a walk. It will change the way your day unravels.

Use short, focused sessions to tackle your tasks or to do lists. Don’t get overwhelmed by spending too long on something and becoming irritable. Batch task like brushing your teeth with cleaning the bathroom or cutting the grass with listening to voicemails.

Do you have any good tips for a productive day that makes life that little bit easier?

Look back over the day and see what worked and what didn’t and use your reflections to plan the following day.
