✨ Winter Solstice ✨

On this darkest of days… the longest night… my heart is a bright shining light.

Full of love and appreciation for all the wonderful people who have invited me into their life this year. However fleetingly.

Friends, 1:1 clients, Reiki students, workshop visitors, people who like my social media posts, those who’ve visited my website or signed up to my newsletter.

I cherish all the stories that have been shared and I honour all the tender moments you’ve allowed me to be part of. Thank you for trusting me. Thank you for supporting me, and my business.

I appreciate every single one of you and all that you have taught me - about you, about myself and about the world.

The light always returns. (Eventually. Even if only fleetingly).

Sending you Solstice blessings, from my heart to yours 💕

✨ Rainy Day ✨

I didn’t think it was going to get light today! But, actually, it was nice to get to the studio early and light up all the candles.

This time of year can feel a bit like that. Joyous with an undertone of sadness. Gladness with a tinge of longing. Thinking about the things we’ve lost… reminded of the things we never had.

It’s busy, it’s noisy, it’s stressful, tiring and overwhelming. It’s also gorgeous, exciting, lovely.

It can be, and is, all the things at once. But finding the balance can be hard.

Go easy on yourselves and try and accept each moment as it comes - the moments pass and can soon be something else entirely.

Sending you lots of love on this rainy day 💕

✨ Grief ✨

This week is National Grief Awareness Week and every year, I have grand plans to mark it with workshops, social media posts or the launching of new offerings. But it never works out like that. 

This year is no different and it feels like this week has snuck up on me… again!

Having said that, grief has been a big part of my week… many of my clients are experiencing grief and loss, I held my monthly Talk it to Death session, and I also attended a session about creatively continuing bonds after someone has died, (organised by the wonderful lot at ). 

As a result, I’ve been pondering on the fact that although we always need spaces to talk about grief, grief isn’t contained to a certain week or a certain time of year. Sure, there are worse times that sting more - an anniversary, a birthday, Christmas - but grief has a way of sneaking up on us when we least expect it. A smell, a song or something someone says. It can catch us completely unawares. 

This year, the theme of National Grief Awareness Week is ‘Growing with Grief’, and this is something we talked about at the Talk it to Death session.

We agreed that after a loss we will never be the same, and that much of grief is learning to accept the new version of us - who we are as a result of that experience. 

For me, grief - not only through loss, but also through the absence of things that never were - has been a huge opportunity for growth for me. The truth is, we don’t have a choice - we have to grow around the thing that’s happened because we can’t change it. It just IS, and that’s a really hard pill to swallow.

Being able to talk about it helps. Being around people who are able to talk about it helps. 

I think it helps.

So even though it’s Grief Awareness Week this week, I’m staying committed to witnessing and offering emotional support for grief, in all its forms, on all days of the year. 

If you’re in Leeds and I can help in any way, you know where I am. If you’re further afield, don’t let that stop you from getting in touch. 

There are still a few space on my FREE Bereavement Soundbath & Social sessions - please take a look and join me if you can.

✨ Are you ready to be Radically Responsible? ✨

13 years ago today, my mum died. It may sound harsh to some, but part of me was relieved…

… because the weeks leading up to that had been nothing short of traumatic.

I knew my mum had been receiving treatment for cancer but when I saw her that Summer, I was told that things were going well. She was terminal, but there was no reason why she couldn’t live another twenty years.

A few weeks later, my step dad called to say that she had six weeks to live and he needed to get her back to the UK (she lived in Cyprus). What followed was a shambles of unbelievable events that thankfully resulted in her having a peaceful death.

I was told that my mum didn’t know she was dying. So it wasn’t really talked about, and I wasn’t given any room to deal with what was happening. Obviously, my mum wasn’t stupid and there were moments where we could have frank conversations - but not many!

After she died it was similarly shambolic - I had no idea what she wanted for her funeral but felt that it was largely down to me to decide.

The whole thing was even more upsetting because nobody was Radically Responsible. Nobody faced the facts head on.

Now, I get it… what my mum was going through was awful and it was awful for my step dad too. I understand that. But keeping silent and avoiding the issue didn’t change anything - it just made things worse.

This is why I feel so passionate about people being Radically Responsible. Taking charge of their situation by thinking about this kind of thing before it’s too late.

Before the reality hits you like a ton of bricks.

If you’ve talked about it beforehand, maybe it’ll be just a tiny bit easier to talk about again. Or if you’ve at least written some stuff down, you’re saving someone else the heartbreak of guesswork. You're stopping people from having to walk on eggshells and allowing them to process their grief without being bogged down in decision making. More time for connection, more time to make the most of the limited time that's left.

In the new year I’m going to be launching a death planning course that deals with thinking ahead, making plans and, most importantly, recording information for our loved ones.

For the first cohort (running at a reduced cost) I’m seeking 6 people who want to be Radically Responsible in starting to think about their future. This course will not only support you in decision making for your end of life, it will also help you address elements of your day to day that aren’t in alignment.

I truly believe that thinking about death helps us to live life better 💕

✨ Endings and Transitions ✨

A little over a week ago, my name disappeared from the telly.

For 15 years or so, my name has been on the credits of a well known UK TV show, most nights of the week. I left that job earlier in the year so it was only a matter of time, but I’d lost track (and moved on, so it wasn’t really on my radar).

However, in the same week, FB showed me a clip from the show and it struck me that it was the first time, for the best part of two decades, that I had no idea of what was happening in Emmerdale! A strange feeling 🤣

It was the brief return of one of my favourite characters 💕 (she’s dead, I wrote her death, so it was a flashback episode). Thing is, writing that story a few years ago was the thing that made me FINALLY decide to do my soul doula/death doula training - it felt like me responding to a soul calling to do something different with my life. Which I did.

It felt apt that her return should be the thing to mark that particular ending - it felt like a strange synchronicity of time, a little nod from the universe that things had come full circle.

And then my dad (who never watched Emmerdale) caught the credits two nights in a row and watched my name disappear from one night to the next. The final remnants of an old part of my life.

And I don’t regret a second!

Leaving that job - one that was once a dream come true - was one of the biggest transitions of my life. I’m still going through it as the seasons unfold and my body gets used to the liberation of being free to move instead of sitting at a desk all day… on long zoom calls… with an allocated time to eat, and an expectation to be continuously creative.

Instead, I’m learning to listen and responding to my bodies rhythms, and needs. Sounds simple, but in a world where we’re consistently taught to do the opposite, it’s not!

Transitions is what I help others with… whether they’ve left old lives too, or are dealing with loss, and change. Or maybe discovering themselves to begin with.

Learning to honour the steps in finding the new normal.

If that sounds like the kind of support you need, you know where to find me. Book a free call with me to learn more 💕

✨ Settling Back ✨

Resettling after a gorgeous two weeks in Ibiza.

The weather was beautiful, the storms were powerful and the rest and relaxation was soaked up with immense gratitude.

So were the Malibu and cokes 🤣

I read 10 books!! TEN!!

For the first time in my life, I didn’t need a couple of days to disconnect from the day to day - to switch off from my busy life - because I’ve been spending all year remodeling life into what I want it to be. Something I don’t need to take a break from. Something that is constantly monitored and tweaked so that it feels aligned, and right for each moment.

Mission accomplished 😃

I’m finally ready to sink into the Autumn months and I’m looking forward to seeing you soon x
