I met the fabulous Anisa this morning and she told me all about her Spring Equinox Springboard reset (amongst other things - we were chatting for ages 🥰)

It sounds absolutely wonderful.

I’m absolutely gutted that I can’t get to it. The booking link’s in the post 💚

Introducing The Springboard ✨

Not a workshop.
Not a lecture.
A reset.

Held on the Spring Equinox, a natural point of balance and renewal, this is a morning devoted to you as a parent.

You can expect:

✨ Grounding and reflection
✨ Clarifying your personal and family values
✨ Visioning how you want this year to feel
✨ Gentle regulation and nervous system support

You’ll leave clearer.
Steadier.
Anchored.

Not rushed. Not overwhelmed.

This isn’t about becoming a better parent.
It’s about becoming a more aligned one.

🌱 March 20th | Bolton Abbey
✨ Free March online membership included
✨ First 10 bookings receive spa access for the afternoon

I’m really excited to be joining up with Autism Arena to deliver some reflective nature walks for adults on Tuesdays in May.

The walks will be based in parks around Leeds - we’re choosing exactly which park to suit the people who attend.

Come and join us 💚 - here’s the link 🔗

These slow, guided woodland walks with simple grounding and sensory activities are designed to support calm and balance. For Parent/Carers.

Today’s full moon 🌕

It’s the last one before the spring equinox, which feels like the perfect moment to think about how nature doesn’t rush.

No push. No desperate urgency. Just slowly, slowly, life returning.

After this long, damp, drab Yorkshire winter, there’s definitely an urge to hurry spring along. But nature has its own pace.

Little by little, things are emerging - crocuses, daffodils, tree buds unfurling, and (my favourite) wild garlic taking hold in the damp woodland.

The crows are SO loud right now too - that’s how this moon got one of its names: the Crow Moon 🐦‍⬛

Nature doesn’t rush. Neither should we 🌿

What signs of spring are you noticing where you are?

Tiny Wild Moments Day 28 - Carry It Forward (If You Want)

No pressure to continue - just permission.

Step outside and choose one practice from this month you might carry into March.

5 min: Do a tiny version of it.
10 min: Explore the practice a little - how might you vary it?
20+ min: Let yourself enjoy a longer version.

Window version: Reflect on what felt good.

You’ve done beautifully. Honestly.

And always remember, doing something imperfectly is better than not doing it at all.

Tiny Wild Moments Day 27 - A Gentle Farewell (For Now)

We’re easing towards the end.

Outside, think about something you’ll remember from this month.

* 5 min: One thing.
* 10 min: Three meaningful things.
* 20+ min: A slow walk revisiting some of your favourite mini-moments.

Window version: Recall small moments from the view.

Endings don’t have to feel final.

Tiny Wild Moments Day 26 - Return to Your Sit Spot

Let’s revisit the anchor.

Go back to the sit spot from Day 15.

* 5 min: Notice one change since last time.
* 10 min: Notice sounds, smells, textures - how do they compare with last time?
* 20+ min: Settle for a longer slow sit.

Window version: Return to your window-spot.

Consistency builds calm - especially for ADHD and autistic brains.

I’d love to hear in the comments how you got on. 💚

* 5 min: One small moment of appreciation.
* 10 min: Three things you appreciate.

Genuine gratitude is grounding, especially for ADHD and autistic brains.

Tiny Wild Moments Day 24 - A Moment of Quiet.

Find a little patch of calm.

Seek out a tiny moment of relative quiet (it doesn’t need to be silent).

* 5 min: Take one quiet breath.
* 10 min: Sit or stand in a quiet spot and allow yourself to relax into it.
* 20+ min: Listen to the quietness surrounding you on a short walk.

Window version: Notice quiet moments inside as you look out.

Quiet doesn’t have to be perfect. In fact, it’s important for ADHD and autistic brains to remember that good enough is definitely enough.

Tiny Wild Moments Day 23 - Notice something kind from nature

Something that feels gentle.

Look for one thing that feels like nature being kind: soft moss, a sunlit patch, a quiet corner.
* 5 min: One kindness.
* 10 min: Three small kindnesses.
* 20+ min: Wander in search of gentle things. How many can you collect?
Indoors: Notice kindness in light, air, or a plant.

Kindness shifts the nervous system. This works really well for ADHD and autistic brains.

Tiny Wild Moments Day 22 - Find a Place Your Body Likes

Let comfort guide you.

Outside, notice where your body feels most at ease.

* 5 min: Stand or sit briefly in that space.
* 10 min: Move between two places and compare them.
* 20+ min: Stay a little longer in your chosen spot.
Window version: Choose a comfy place from which to sit and look out.

Your body often knows what it needs. This simple invitation works really well for ADHD and autistic brains.

I’d love to hear in the comments how you got on. 💚

Tiny Wild Moments Day 21 - A Familiar Path, Walked Differently

Routine, but with variation.

Walk a familiar route, but change something small - speed, direction, or starting point.
* 5 min: Make one small change - face a different way in the garden, or stand in a different spot, perhaps.
* 10 min: Walk just a few steps in the opposite direction from your normal path, noticing things around you.
* 20+ min: Wander a familiar route with new eyes - look out for things you haven’t noticed before.

Window version: Look at your usual view differently - perhaps by changing the spot you sit in.

Tiny changes refresh the mind. This works really well for ADHD and autistic brains.

I’d love to hear in the comments how you got on. 💚
