As we move toward a new year and fresh beginnings, I invite you to step into my hut and gift yourself time to truly pause, breathe, and reconnect.

As a qualified Holistic MindBody Coach, I work with the beautiful connection between your thoughts, emotions, and physical wellbeing, helping you gently release stress and return to balance from within.

Coaching is different from counselling in that it is forward-focused and empowering. Rather than revisiting the past, we work together on where you are now and where you wish to be, using practical tools and soul led guidance to create real, lasting change. These sessions are a safe, nurturing space just for you, a quiet sanctuary away from the noise of the world. If your heart is calling for clarity, healing, confidence, or simply space to be supported, I would be honoured to walk alongside you.

Bookings now open for January 2026. Message me to reserve your space.

I am happy to welcome you for one offs or for longer lasting change how about booking a series of sessions. For more information please contact me for an informal, no obligation chat.

New year, new habits, new you!

Each day I gather a small bundle of kindling I find on the ground and put it in the shed to dry. And each day, I take a small bundle of that dry kindling back out to light the fire in the hut and the fire in the house.

This simple little routine reminds me of something important about ourselves. If I only ever took kindling from the shed, eventually I would run out. Yes I could do one big refill once a week, but that feels like a much bigger, heavier task. Instead, by gathering just a little every day, the shed never empties. The fire is always ready to be lit.

What if we applied the same principle to our own lives?

Small, daily gestures of care, tiny acts of rest, kindness, nourishment, or joy, keep our inner stores replenished. They keep us from burning out. They keep our core fire going.

We do not need grand acts of self-care. We just need consistent ones. A little kindling each day.

There.....my thoughts of the morning I share with you! 🔥 Tasha ⚘️🌿❤️

Today I have been dancing, and so now I feel me again!

Dance and movement pull me back into my body in a way nothing else can. When I move, I feel myself soften, open, and reconnect. It is as if my system remembers something ancient and true: that my body is not just a vessel, but a living, sensing part of who I am.

Movement gives me space to release emotions I do not yet have words for. It grounds me when I am feeling overwhelmed and energizes me when I feel stuck. Through dance, I feel joy, freedom, and a quiet kind of clarity.

There is also a real science to why movement feels so healing. Somatic research shows that the body holds onto stress, tension, and unprocessed experiences, and that physical movement can help release them. When I dance, my nervous system shifts out of fight-or-flight and into a more regulated, balanced state. Rhythmic movement stimulates the vagus nerve, supporting calm and emotional resilience. Even simple, intuitive motions help reconnect the mind and body, allowing me to feel more present, more alive, and more myself.

In a world that often pulls me into my head, dance brings me home. It is not just exercise, it is the way I listen to myself, care for myself, and find my way back to center.

I reminded myself today that I have not been dancing enough ........ headphones will be back on and the woodlands will feel my feet move and my wild heart freed once again.

When was the last time you danced?

Love Tasha ⚘️🌿❤️xx

If today has felt a little flat or heavy and you have been moving through the hours with a kind of soft sluggishness that you cannot quite explain, I just want to remind you that there is nothing wrong with you. Truly. Some days our energy just dips, our sparkle goes quiet, and the world feels like it is asking a bit more from us than we have to give.

So if this is you right now, come sit here for a moment. Let the pressure ease. Let your shoulders drop. Take a breath, not because you are supposed to, but because it might feel good to pause. You do not have to force yourself into motivation or talk yourself into being 'on.' You are allowed to just be exactly as you are, even if that version of you is slower, softer, or unsure.

Maybe today is a day for small comforts, a warm drink, a gentle stretch, a few minutes of stillness, or a favourite song you have heard a hundred times but somehow always helps. It is okay if all you can manage is the simplest version of what needs doing. It is okay if the world feels like it needs to wait its turn for a bit.

You do not need to rush yourself back to feeling better. Your spark has not gone; it is just resting. You are allowed to rest. You are allowed to move gently, to trust that low days pass, and to believe that you are doing enough simply by being here.

So take the rest of today slowly. Let yourself be held by whatever brings the slightest bit of ease. And know that even in this quieter version of yourself, you are still worthy of care, softness, and patience.

You are doing your best. And that’s more than enough. 😘

Love Tasha ⚘️🌿❤️x

Behind this face is a mind that never seems to switch off constantly buzzing, analysing, imagining. Did you know we have over 60,000 thoughts a day? No wonder our brains feel full sometimes!

Yesterday, while driving home from a business training day, I got caught in the after-school rush. As I sat in traffic, I could not help but notice the contrast between two types of groups walking past. Some young people were side by side but completely absorbed in their phones blank expressions, eyes fixed on screens, seemingly unaware of the world around them. Others, however, were phone-free, chatting animatedly, laughing, connecting, fully 'present'. As someone who has spent years working with young people, I felt a pang of sadness watching that contrast play out before me.

That small moment sparked a bigger reflection. I thought about the incredible work Sara Cox is doing for BBC Children in Need, running to raise funds for projects that make a real difference in the lives of young people. I have been following her journey with huge admiration and, if I am honest, more than a few emotions. Having been involved in many Children in Need funded projects myself over the years, I know firsthand how much that support matters. I shall be donating this week to show my gratitude and solidarity.

So there you have it, just a tiny percentage of yesterday’s whirlwind of thoughts. Funny how one traffic jam can spark so much reflection, isn’t it?

What thoughts will you have today I wonder.

Happy Hump Wednesday!

Love Tasha ⚘️🌿❤️xx
