Thankful Thursday ✨️

After the week we've had....I'm feeling vwry thankful 💗

This week we had a bit of a scare with Kenzie, as you know. She’s absolutely fine — back at school, back to herself — but if I’m honest, I don’t feel fully back yet.

There’s a kind of “hangover” that isn’t from alcohol… and I feel like no one really talks about it.

It’s that foggy, slightly heavy feeling.
Like my head is full but also a bit slow at the same time.

And I think what I’m realising is… this is what happens after something stressful.

You hold it together in the moment.
You do what needs done.
You stay calm for everyone else.

And then when things settle… that’s when it catches up with you.

Not in a big dramatic way.
Just quietly, in the background.

So this week I’m not pushing through it like i used to....
I’ve done what I need to do, and the rest can wait until tomorrow.

And actually, more than anything, I just feel really grateful.

Grateful that I can slow things down a bit without everything falling apart.
Grateful for clients who’ve been understanding and flexible this week.
Grateful for Sam and my mum, who just stepped in and made things work without me even having to think about it.

Because those small, everyday bits of support… they’re the things that make everything else possible.

Especially on days where you’re not quite firing on all cylinders.

So yeah… today’s Thankful Thursday is a bit different.

It’s not about big wins.
It’s just about recognising where I’m at, letting that be okay, and appreciating the people around me who make space for that.

And if you’ve ever had that same kind of “after the fact” fog… you’ll know what I mean.

If your head’s been feeling a bit full lately… this might be exactly what you need.

I run small, hands-on upholstery workshops where you bring a piece you’d like to work on, and I guide you through it step by step.

But it’s not just about the furniture.

It’s a couple of hours where you’re not rushing, not thinking about everything else you need to do, not trying to keep up with anything.

You’re focused on what’s in front of you.
Working with your hands.
Letting things quieten down a bit.

You don’t need to be creative or know what you’re doing — most people come in unsure.

Something just shifts while you’re there.

You slow down.
You focus.
You leave feeling lighter than when you came in.

I’ve got a couple of spaces left for the next block starting this Sunday.

If it feels like something you could do with right now, just send me a message 🤍

This week didn’t quite start how I expected.

We had a bit of a scare with my daughter at the weekend, and everything else just faded into the background for a couple of days.

It’s funny how quickly that happens… all the things that felt urgent suddenly aren’t.

I had that moment of “I’ve not done this, I’m behind on that…” — but when something like that happens, you realise there’s actually nothing to catch up on.

You just go where you’re needed.

And for me, that was home, slowing everything down, just being with her while she rested.

She’s doing much better now, and today feels like a bit of a gentle return.

Not rushing to make up for lost time.
Just picking things back up, from where I am.

I think sometimes we forget that this is part of it too.

Not falling behind… just choosing what matters most in that moment.

So today I’m starting again, a little slower, a little softer — and that feels enough 🤍

Sunday reflections ✨️

The last couple of weeks have felt like a bit of a reset.

Time away. Slower days. Space to notice things again.

Not because I needed to escape anything…
but because I’ve been choosing to do things differently.

To create more space.
To slow things down when it matters.
To not fill every gap just because I can.

And what I’ve realised is — it changes everything.

Not in a big, dramatic way.
Just quietly.

Things feel lighter.
Clearer.
Easier to sit with.

Coming back into the workshop this week, I noticed that same feeling again — just in a different way.

When you’re working with your hands, something shifts.

You stop overthinking.
You focus on what’s in front of you.
You give your mind somewhere softer to land.

It’s simple… but it matters.

And I think that’s what I keep coming back to.

Not doing more.
Just choosing differently.
Creating space on purpose.

And that’s something I’m choosing to carry forward —
not just when I’m away, but in the middle of everyday life too 🤍

What if you could take something worn…
and bring it back to life yourself?

There’s something really satisfying about doing that with your own hands.

Taking a piece that’s tired, no longer loved…
and learning how to rebuild it — step by step.

That’s what Creative Connections is about.

Learning real upholstery skills.
Understanding how things are made.
Gaining the confidence to try something new.

But also…

Slowing down.
Working with your hands.
And being in a space where you don’t have to do it alone.

No experience needed — just a willingness to begin.



Our next Creative Connections workshop starts 26th April
A few spaces remaining

Well hello 👋

I’ve been really quiet on here the last couple of weeks — just in case you hadn’t noticed 🙃

We were away — our first little trip over to France with Kenzie, which felt like a big adventure in itself, and then some slower, grounding time over in Mull.

And I was aware I hadn’t been showing up on social media.

But instead of feeling like I should be checking in or posting… it actually felt better not to.

More present.
More respectful of that time with my family.

So I left it.

And stepping away from it like that made me realise a few things.

Mainly how easy it is to fall into that feeling of needing to always show up.
To be posting, sharing, keeping up.

And actually… without that, I felt so much more present.

Properly in it.
With Kenzie, with Sam, with everything we were doing.

I wasn’t thinking about capturing it or what I’d say about it afterwards.

I was just there.

And I think that’s what I want more of.

I still want to share, connect, and use social media…
but not in a way that pulls me out of my life while I’m in it.

So I’m back — just a little more aware of how I want this to feel 🤍

Feature Friday 🤍

This week I wanted to share someone who has been part of what’s quietly building behind the scenes.

We’ve been having lots of conversations recently — about connection, community, and creating spaces where people can come together in a way that feels easy and real.

She runs a walking group called Women Who Wander - bringing people together to get outside, slow down, and connect.

She’s based over in the Dunfermline area, so if you’re local and that feels like something you’d enjoy, she’s definitely worth checking out.

And it’s been really lovely to start exploring ways we can collaborate and support each other in what we’re both creating.

Because I think this is such an important part of it all —

not doing things in isolation,
but building something alongside others who share a similar way of seeing things.

It feels like the beginning of something…
and I’m really looking forward to seeing where it goes 🤍

✨️SAVE THE DATE ✨️

There’s something really special about spaces where people can simply come as they are 🤍

I’m so excited to be part of this upcoming wellbeing workshop — a gentle, welcoming space filled with incredible practitioners, each bringing their own way of supporting mind, body and nervous system.

For me, I’ll be holding the Pocket of Kindness Bar ✨
A quiet, creative moment within the day… where you can slow down, make something with your hands, and create a small pouch filled with care — for yourself or someone who might need a little light.

Because sometimes it’s the simplest things…
A pause.
A moment of connection.
A small act of kindness.
That stay with us the longest.

This event brings together so many different approaches to wellbeing — from movement and therapy to energy work, creativity and connection — all in one space.

If you’ve been feeling like you need a reset… or just a place to breathe and be, even for a couple of hours — this is for you.

A new month 🤍

And for me, it’s not about starting over…
it’s about continuing with what’s already been building

Giving it a bit more space
a bit more attention
and seeing what grows from it

Creative Connections is a big part of that ✨️

What started as a small idea
has already begun to take shape
and this next block feels like the next step in that 💕

It’s a space where you can bring a piece with you....
something old, something sentimental,
or something that just needs a bit of care and attention...and spend time each week restoring it,
reimagining it,
and giving it a new lease of life

But more than that…

it’s a space to slow down
to focus
to create
and to just have some time for yourself

The next block begins on Sunday 26th April
and will run throughout May

You can join for 3 weeks or the full 6 weeks
depending on what feels right for you

If you’ve been feeling like you need a bit more space like this…
you’d be very welcome 🤍

Just send me a message and I’ll share the details

It’s the last day of March 🤍

And I’ve found myself just pausing for a moment to look back on what this month has held.

Because when I really stop and think about it…
there’s been a lot.

The very first Creative Connections block
Our first collaboration — a guided walk and sauna experience
Time out with the horses
Slowing down and having people come along and join me

And somewhere along the way,
Elluminate has started to feel… real.

Not just an idea anymore
but something that’s actually moving
actually growing

And none of that has come from one big moment.

It’s come from small, quiet choices.

Choosing to show up
Choosing to try something new
Choosing to keep going, even when it would be easier not to

And I think that’s the part we often overlook.

We wait for something big to change
when really…
it’s built in the everyday.



As we step into April tomorrow, I’m not thinking about big plans or big shifts.

Just this:

What am I choosing more of?

And what might shift… if I keep choosing it 🤍

🌿 Elluminate Walking Group 🌿

A gentle space to step outside, slow down, and reconnect.

These walks are about more than just getting steps in — they’re a chance to breathe deeply, clear your mind, and settle your nervous system in the company of others.

No pressure, no expectations — just fresh air, soft conversation (or quiet if you need it), and a space to feel grounded and supported.

🌿 WALK WITH US 🌿

With the lighter evenings coming in, I’ve been thinking about getting a small walking group together…

Nothing formal. Nothing pressured.

Just a chance to step outside, get some fresh air, and enjoy a bit of connection along the way.

Sometimes it’s easier to talk when we’re moving.
Sometimes it’s just nice to be around others without needing to say much at all.

I’d love to know what would suit you best:

✨ Early evening (around 5–6pm)
✨ Later evening (around 6–7pm)

Pop your preference in the comments so I can get a feel for what works.

And if you’d like to be part of it, I’ll be setting up a small WhatsApp group to share details and keep things simple — just drop me a message and I’ll add you 🤍

Even if you’ve never joined something like this before, you’d be so welcome.

No pressure. Just an open invitation.
