When I’m anxious, I should take big, deep breaths to calm down?

This is a well-meaning but often counter-productive piece of advice!

I know that feeling of gasping or over-breathing when panic hits.

While the intent is to get more oxygen, fast, deep breathing can actually lower your CO2 levels too much, which can cause dizziness, palpitations, and ironically, increase anxiety.

The truth is: Proper breathing is about balance and efficiency.

I teach you techniques to regulate your Autonomic Nervous System, moving you out of the constant fight-or-flight mode.

It's often about breathing low and small, not necessarily deep and fast, to regain that sense of peace and balance.

Your breath is your remote control for your nervous system.

Tears on Touch down, Landing or simply hate flying to the unknown?

What have you needed to escape from?

Or landed back to?

To the guy in 2D who cried on touchdown: I saw you.

It's always takeoff or turbulence, right? But a man in 2D was silently weeping as
we touched down. Tears streaming, eyes squeezed shut, white-knuckling the armrests, toes curled up, tensing as his head pushed back, buried in the headrest.

He seemed angry. But I know that wasn't anger.

It was the terrifying pressure of being the one who's 'supposed to be strong.'

The pressure of being a man who fears flying, but can't let anyone see it. Especially his own family.

From my cabin crew seat, I watched, waited, and was willing for the moment when you finally relaxed. When you opened your scrunched-up eyes and you saw me, you felt me watching.

When you did...A quick sign and a mouthed 'Are you OK?' was all it took for you to relax.

The relief that I saw you, I could feel your nerves, that someone saw you—and someone cared—was palpable.

To every man who's terrified of flying but too embarrassed to ask for help: I see you. I feel you.

We see you. We feel you.

You don't have to fly scared. Trust our training, as your safety always comes first.

It’s time to let go and stop feeling the need to protect everyone, to be in control of everything, to be responsible for everyone…You matter too.

I see you, seat 2D.

Listening to other people’s voices — even when they mean well — can be damaging when it starts to cost you your physical and emotional health.

So at what point do you stop listening to their voice… and start listening to your own?

This is a hard one, especially when that voice belongs to a parent. Many of us were conditioned from childhood to comply, to please, to “do as we’re told” — even when it no longer serves us.

Alcohol is socially accepted. Almost expected.
“You can’t have a good time without a drink,” they say…
But is that really true?
Or is alcohol sometimes a coping mechanism — born from trauma, grief, stress, or emotional overwhelm — quietly begging you to stop?

Women in particular move through many chapters in life, and our hormones play a far bigger role than we’re ever taught.
The 3 P’s matter more than people realise: Periods, Pregnancy, Perimenopause.

How many times have you woken up with a hangover from hell, looked around the next day, and noticed something infuriating?
The very people encouraging you to drink feel absolutely fine.
And you’re left paying the price.
Yes — it’s frustrating.

But the moment you decide to take control of your life…
your health…
your relationship with alcohol — for you, not anyone else —
everything changes.

That choice is powerful.
And it can be truly life-changing.

I recently experienced my first in-flight medical diversion, and it brought me sharply back to how precious life truly is.

Christmas can be an especially difficult time for those grieving — whether you’ve lost a partner, a parent, or, heartbreakingly, a child. The festive season magnifies absence. Memories of happier times can feel painful, yet deep grief only exists because deep love once lived there. So speak their name this Christmas. Share stories. Ask how people are really feeling. Honour the love that still remains.

During the diversion, the seriousness of the situation was clear. The crew moved swiftly and the compassion of fellow passengers was overwhelming — people instinctively stepping forward to help. Moments like these remind us, both in the cabin and on the flight deck, of the responsibility and humanity we carry. In adversity, it is empathy and community that hold us together, especially at Christmas.

So hug your loved ones a little tighter. Say what needs to be said. Do what you’ve been putting off. Travel where your heart is calling you to go. Don’t stay trapped in regret or guilt — extinguish those feelings before they ignite.


A flickering candle is still a bright light. Let it shine brighter this Christmas. I know mine will.

Warmest festive wishes,
Vicky
Your Flight Attendant Therapist

Widowed at 37 — living in honour of past, present and future equally.





*This isn’t a photo from the medical diversion day — that flight left no time for pictures — but this moment at another airport feels just as important. It reminds me that, wherever we are, kindness and help are all around us...

🎄 Feeling anxious just thinking about the holidays? You’re not alone... Anticipatory Anxiety is very real...

For many, special occasions like Christmas bring more than holiday joy—they can trigger anticipatory anxiety.

The “what ifs” start swirling: Will I cope? Will I feel overwhelmed? What if it’s too much? These thoughts create stress before the event even begins, leaving you exhausted and dreading what should be a happy, festive time.

Here’s the thing: you don’t have to face this alone, and it doesn’t have to take weeks to feel better.

I help people rapidly release that anxious tension, uncover what’s really triggering it, and create tools from a different perspective to enjoy the moment instead of fearing it.

Imagine walking into Christmas feeling calm and present, and even being able to enjoy yourself—without that knot in your stomach.

✨ If holiday anxiety is weighing you down, let’s change the story this year. Because you can, if you want to. Together we can release a new Christmas story, a happier one, simply by reframing an old belief, an old story but subconsciously...Your way, no one elses...Your way because your emotions matter.

You can feel peace, connection, and even festive joy—yes, really.
You!

What's it like to work with me?

I create a space where you can safely let go of that fear, anxiety and stress.

My clients walk away with flying confidence and an inner calmness.

That's because I focus on giving you tangible, rapid techniques so that when you take your seat and fasten your seatbelt, you feel in control again.

It’s transformative and deeply effective.

The take-off anxiety struggle is REAL, and it's 100% personal.

Is it the speed?

The powerful pushback into your seat?

Or maybe that stomach-dropping sensation that makes you feel utterly out of control?

The feeling is real.

The knots in your stomach are real.

And the scary thoughts swirling in your mind are real.

When you're sitting there, maybe closing your eyes with tears welling up, you feel like you're the only one.

You're not.

And you have nothing to be embarrassed about.

Here's the truth: You weren't born with the fear of flying. Your brain and body are just trying to keep you safe by recreating a feeling it's known before. It’s remembering.

So, let's ask the critical question: Where, when, or how have you felt that same intense, out-of-control sensation before?

Your mind holds the answer. Let's find it. ⬇️

✨Dreading Christmas and visiting happy families...
To all the widows out there…Then you are not alone ✨

I know what it’s like to wake up feeling the weight of grief, the ache of missing someone who was your world, and the quiet guilt that comes with trying to move forward. I’ve walked that path myself, and I understand how isolating it can feel.

Maybe you’re not looking forward to travelling at Christmas, or special moments that can be yours too, the ones that used to bring you joy.

It doesn’t have to be that way. There are ways to gently lift that heaviness, reconnect with yourself, and find moments of peace and love again.

That’s why I work with widows, because I am one, I understand, I've felt the way you do. But not any more...

If you are ready, I'd be honoured to help you — to guide you in using simple techniques like gentle body awareness, self-soothing practices, and inner tools to feel safe, supported, and worthy of joy again.

Grief doesn’t have a timeline, and healing isn’t about forgetting — it’s about learning to live fully while carrying your love forward.

If your heart feels heavy or the thought of the holidays feels impossible, you don’t have to face it alone.

Let's fly together...

Take off terrifies you...But how long does it actually last?

And what's that 'Ding' at the end of this video mean?

Do you need to panic?

Does it mean something bad is about to happen?

🔔The 'Ding' means the emergency lights have now been switched off & we will make a P.A for you to keep your seatbelts fastened until the seatbelt sign has been switched off.

Widowed and a wife, past, present and future are equally important to your happiness.

Making memories, is living in the present and enjoying every single second. It is so very important to do this in our daily lives. I love helping people to live their life to their fullest potential...."Waste time wisely!" is a favourite saying of mine as I became a young widow at the tender age of 37 years young. I had two bereaved children of 3yrs and 8yrs. Our lives devastatingly changed overnight from an extremely sudden, internationally known death of my first husband and the father of our two wonderful children. I know true pain, stress, anxiety and devastating grief, extremely well! I also know too well everything else that rides with these issues, such as financial stress, abrupt career change, anxiety, stress, confidence & self esteem issues, insomnia, weight issues and medical conditions. Then.... I found RTT and it changed my life! So much so that I trained in it! So if there is anything that is holding you back, stop, reach out and know that life can truly change for the better! RTT really does rapidly transform your life! Past, Present and Future are all equally important but we only have one life so we need to really live it! Enjoy every day! Take every opportunity! Truly breathe. Be kind to yourself! You deserve it! If there is anything blocking or stopping you doing this, let me help! I believe that we all should .....

“Inspire to Achieve and Achieve to Inspire."

Smiles; complete a family memory...….
