Hello everyone! I just wanted to share some exciting news with you. After a lot of behind the scenes work– long days, late nights, blood, sweat and tears – I’m really excited to announce that I’ll be taking all of my knowledge, expertise and lived experience and packing it all into a brand-new business.

I’m still coaching and mentoring but I’m going to be pausing my posting on here while I get my new project launched but wanted to say thank you for your support and thank you to my fabulous clients. See you in the new year! Pav x

These days we associate Halloween with characters from a haunted house, knocking on door and asking for treats. But did you know that Halloween has roots in the Pagan festival of Samhain which would see the end of harvest celebrated with people wearing costumes to ward off ghosts? It’s also a time for reflection – on things you’ve let go of and people you’ve lost.

Wishing everyone a happy Halloween however you celebrate 🎃

CHOOSE IT!

The clocks are going back soon and it’s normal to feel a little overwhelmed by winter rolling in. Want to feel rested, restored and calm, really quickly? Child’s pose. So underrated but so important. It’s active in its ability to help sooth while gently stretching the back. Step away from the screen and drop down into child’s pose. It’s also the perfect position in which to meditate! Winning!

Change can be dramatic, gradual and beautiful all at once…

Comparison is the thief of joy… and yet it’s natural? It’s an entirely normal behaviour that has evolved to help us learn from one another and to keep us motivated. But it can be toxic, too. A lot of my clients admit to constantly comparing themselves to others and needless to say it does not make them feel good. Plus, this level of comparison can actually lead to feelings of hopelessness.
So, what to do? Well, what I could never recommend, even if it feels tempting, is to look for faults in the other person. It should work, but it never does.
Instead, why not make a commitment to positivity. This doesn’t mean you should feel pressure to always be happy and smiley. It’s more when toxic comparisons creep in I invite you to observe what you’re feeling, acknowledge it and then mindfully, deliberately shift your thinking into a positive space.

If you want to know about mindfulness and mindset, I offer free coaching chemistry sessions where you can find out a little more about me and the work I do. Please do get in touch either via DM or email.

Forgiveness is growth…

Yes, yes, this is a very styled shot – IRL Baxter would be all over the marshmallows but this is the level of cosy comfort we should aspire to for an Autumn Saturday. Have lovely weekends one and all!

Hands up if you can relate…

Did you know…

- 1 in 4 people will experience a mental health problem of some kind each year in England
- Approximately only 1 in 8 adults in the UK with a mental health problem are currently getting treatment
- Around 40% of people in England who have overlapping problems including homelessness, substance misuse and contact with the criminal justice system in any given year also have a mental health problem.
- 23% of Black or Black British people will experience a common mental health problem in any given week. This compares to 17% of White British people
- LGBTIQ+ people are between 2–3 times more likely than heterosexual people to report having a mental health problem in England

Today is World Mental Health Day. It goes without saying that mental health is an ‘all year round’ concern but having a dedicated awareness day allows me and others to focus on the realities of poor mental health and mental health provision.

This year’s theme is ‘make mental health and wellbeing for all a global priority’ – and I couldn’t support it more.
