Natural daylight at this time of year is a life-saver. It certainly lifts my mood to get a mid-day walk on a dark day.

I will be making a mushroom risotto for dinner too, very winter warming!

NOVEMBER! Here are some ideas for small consistent habits you could be starting this month for your health and happiness.

Lasting change doesn’t come from big overhauls - it’s the small daily habits that add up to transformation🙌🏾

Did you have a fun Halloween?

It’s an old Irish pagan festival of lights and costumes designed to ward off evil spirits. They roam the world on Halloween night as the veil between the world of the living and the world of the dead is thinnest, and spirits return to the earthly world to haunt us.

As Christianity took hold, the festival transitioned to series of holy days to celebrate our ancestors, called All Saints Day and All Souls Day.

What a great opportunity to take a sacred moment to feel grateful to those who have gone before us, and to heal old wounds. I think I will meditate on the transitional aspect of this time of year, and think about those who have passed on, how I miss them, and smile at the memories. It is important to cross the bridge of connection between our worlds.

The photo is of our young cat, Noél, who died suddenly a few years back. Maybe he couldn’t face another Halloween when we made him wear a costume? We still miss him all the time.. he was ridiculously amusing.

Have you tried EFT Tapping?

Lots of science and studies to prove that tapping and brain neuroplasticity allow us to make our life easier and improve how we show up.

Here’s one way to try it for free, with The Tapping Solution’s 5 day Confidence programme. You’ll learn skills you can use by yourself going forward, and you’ll get a taste of what it is like to work on deeper issues with an accredited practitioner like myself.

What have you got to lose? Give it a go 👍

I have been using breath work successfully with client for many years - I truly love it for myself and others.

Taking the Oxygen Advantage training has been fascinating as I’ve learnt new exercises, new ways to use them, and the reasons why they work.

One such is the importance of nitric oxide in the body, more info below if you’re interested.

Discovered in the 1990s and awarded a Nobel Prize, nitric oxide (NO) is a game-changing signaling molecule produced in your nasal passages and sinuses — but only when you breathe through your nose.

Whether you run, lift, cycle, or train for sport or health, here’s why nasal nitric oxide should be on your radar:

1️⃣ ENHANCED AIRFLOW & BREATHING EFFICIENCY
NO relaxes smooth muscle in your bronchial tubes, opening up the airways.
✔️ Reduces resistance
✔️ Increases airflow
✔️ Supports easier, deeper breathing — especially under intensity

2️⃣ OPTIMIZED OXYGEN DELIVERY TO MUSCLES
NO dilates blood vessels in the lungs and improves the match between ventilation and perfusion, allowing for more efficient oxygen uptake.
It also drives the Bohr Effect, helping hemoglobin release oxygen to your muscles when and where you need it most.
🧬 Without nasal NO, your body can’t optimize O₂ delivery

3️⃣ IMMUNE SUPPORT + ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTION
NO is a natural antiviral and antibacterial — it:
✔️ Blocks pathogens like SARS-CoV-2, RSV, and influenza from attaching and replicating
✔️ Regulates inflammation in the lungs
✔️ Supports immune health — especially important for athletes with asthma, allergies, or high training loads

There’s MAGIC in those hands - yours and mine!

As an EFT tapping therapist I had the very satisfying exoerience of a 3 day revision class on Serious Illness & Chronic Disease this week 💜

Every Serious Illness has both a physical and psychological impact on us. This Masterclass covered many specialist tapping techniques to aid with identification and resolution of physical symptoms and the emotional toll of Serious Illness. Holistic techniques are low risk for side effects and often really improve the outcome in conjunction with regular medicinal protocols.

Continuing Professional Development is essential for anyone who wants to be the best at what they do. Using EFT tapping along with Traditional Chinese Medicine, breath work and meditation means real quality of life benefits for my clients.

Message me if you want to chat about using holistic therapies to manage your Serious Illness.

Did you know that animals intuitively adore energy work?

My kitty loves that physical contact, and she is happy to receive all the love she is offered.



Sure wouldn’t we all?

Watch her receive her spinal flush which she gets every day, and which helps balance all her internal organs. She is my Super Kitty 😻

Energy Medicine - it’s available to all of us, every day.

I was just thinking that my purring kitty friend beside me is the best medicine today. All those balanced happy hormones are flowing when I see her sweetness and affection.

And this week I was also in the beauty of nature in the hills at Killeavy, and walking on the beach in Rosses Point in Co Sligo… clean air, relaxing views, peace and quiet. With friends 💚

Gratitude… all by itself, gratitude is deeply healing. Life is often difficult for us humans, but there is so much loveliness to reach for and hold with joy.
