It’s so easy to get lost in thoughts - worry, doubt, regret, criticism.

When we remind ourselves that we are not our thoughts, that in fact, we are the one watching them it’s like rebooting our system and we return to our default setting: which for all of us is calm & peaceful.

If you want to find out more about your thought habits and patterns and some help settling your busy mind, get in touch because your racing mind needs to rest & recover before it burns out.

Remember YOU are so much more than your racing thoughts would have you think.

Self doubt and self critical thoughts can feel overwhelming at times.

So let’s try something….just for today, let’s notice them and then walk away from them because NONE of them are TRUE.

They’re very good at pretending to be true but they’re NOT.

So for today, can you be open to walking away from them and choosing some kinder, gentler, more loving and compassionate thoughts to occupy your headspace instead?

Such a great way to start the day yesterday….exercise has such great health benefits not only for our body but also our mind and emotional wellbeing.


Nirjala is a fabulous PT and is such a friendly gym.

But it’s not about going to the gym if that’s not your thing, it’s about finding something YOU enjoy…and giving yourself TIME to do it….i know it’s challenging especially when we’re busy Mums but I am ALWAYS a calmer, more patient Mum when I’ve had time for me ….the gym has always been a happy place for me….anyone else go to The Albany gym back in the day?🏋

Are you a parent who feels like they’re in ‘No man’s land’ like those I’ve had sessions with this week?

Are you looking for support, on a waiting list, looking for answers and getting frustrated with the system because it’s telling you she has to be a lot worse ….and we’re talking frighteningly worse before they’ll even see her?

If you are, you’re most definitely not alone…I’ve been speaking with parents of daughters with undiagnosed autism…who are struggling to get the right help and support for her AND themselves.

As caring parents, they want to help her but are scared of doing and saying the ‘wrong’ thing and to be brutally honest are feeling exhausted and abandoned that they’re left ‘fending’ for themselves by a system that’s overwhelmed itself.

They need some support and back-up but where is it? It’s shut away behind Policies, Threshold criteria and Budgets.

If you feel like you’re walking a long lonely path, reach out and let’s have a chat about how we can move forward together.

Let’s see if we can take a walk together for a short while and get you AND your child feeling better.

My 6 week group programme for parents is starting soon. Gain immediate validation, connection and support in this dedicated safe space.

Learn tools and strategies today that will last a lifetime.
Make connections with like-minded parents and make future friends.

So grateful to be doing what I do….thank you for this lovely message…Supporting a mum through a big life wave that came along all of a sudden this week 🌊 Sometimes we just need support and someone to hold onto while we navigate something unexpected and unknown 🤗

We listen to what it has to say with kindness, love and compassion.

It’s trying to tell us something, it’s trying to communicate with us.

When we listen, we begin to understand where it’s coming from and then we can help it, soothe it and release it.

If you or your child/teen need help get in touch…the bravest thing we can do is ask for help…🤗
