Navigating this portal of transition…
the shedding, unfolding, remembering,
the realising of who I’m not
and the return to who I truly am —
it’s ego-destroying.
A beautiful unveiling. ✧

Just before I stepped into the EMBER teacher training, my body began whispering… then shouting.
Energy draining.
Feeling misaligned with my work.
The instinctive pull to withdraw.
A deep knowing that change was coming.

And the moment the journey began, my body finally felt safe enough to release everything it had been holding.
The dam broke.

My nervous system went haywire,
intense pain, endometriosis flare, haemorrhagic cysts,
random nerve surges all over my body, full-body fatigue, chronic dizziness,
widespread pain, insomnia, nightmares.
All of it. All at once.

But I’m grateful for the shadow work that’s carried me here, because I recognised this as an initiation.
This is happening for me, not to me.

I’m meeting every sensation with presence.
Letting the ego dissolve.
Letting the truth rise.
Letting my roots thicken as I grow through the dark.

This is the messy, sacred part of becoming.
The heaviness before the light.
The unraveling before the expansion. ✦

I’m embracing all of it.

Scorpio season ♏️

34 laps around the sun 🌞

- the season of embodiment 🐦‍🔥

14/11/2025

You are not a machine.
You’re a soul who needs music, connection, sunsets, laughter, and small pockets of joy.

Prioritize them like your life depends on it,
-because it does.

Life isn’t meant to be a cycle of stress and survival.

Pause. Look up.
Let the sunset remind you: you’re here to live,
not just to hustle.

Life is not a to-do list. It’s a gift.

Walk slower. Hug longer. Laugh louder. Love deeper.

The clock may be ticking, but your presence is timeless.
We’ve been conditioned to believe that constant productivity equals worth, but humans weren’t designed for endless output.

We need moments of wonder, connection, and rest, not as rewards for hard work, but as essential ingredients for a meaningful life.

Here’s to more peace.
Here’s to more presence.
Here’s to alignment, to gratitude, to awareness.

Here’s to being of service,
Of truth & authenticity.
Organic growth.
No force, less hurry…

Here’s to soulful living.

Becoming a soft space for yourself is one of the most underrated yet exquisitely powerful things in this world. 🌿

What I’ve learned through my own journey, living with endometriosis, fibromyalgia, & navigating the layers of burnout and chronic pain, is that true healing begins in softness.

It begins in the moments you choose to pause instead of push.
When you let your body exhale.
When you meet yourself with compassion rather than criticism.
When you remember that your nervous system doesn’t need more pressure, it needs presence.

Becoming your own safe space is an act of radical embodiment.
It’s learning to be on your own team.
To honour your pace.
To feel rather than force.
To hold yourself with the same care you so freely give to others.

You are yours before you are anyone else’s.
And from that place, grounded, attuned, and whole; everything else begins to unfold naturally.

This week our homework from was to pick 2 Yamas ( ethical restraints) & 2 Niyamas (personal observances) from the 8 limbs of yoga, and reflect on their relevance in our lives right now, what they mean, how we connect to them, or where we might resist them.

I felt called to share what I chose.

Ahimsa — non-violence/ compassion.
Living with endometriosis and fibromyalgia brings pain, frustration, and moments where I feel disconnected from my body.
Practising Ahimsa means softening those edges, meeting myself with kindness instead of criticism.
It’s choosing rest over guilt, gentleness over expectation.
Each time I slow down and truly listen to my body’s cues, I honour Ahimsa in action.

Aparigraha — non-grasping, the art of letting go.
As I move through big transitions, medical treatment, shifts in how I live and work, I notice how tightly I can hold onto the idea of how things should be.
Aparigraha invites me to release that grip, to trust that healing and transformation have their own timeline.
It’s loosening attachment to past versions of myself and allowing new ones to emerge in their own time.

Svadhyaya — self-study.
This is at the heart of my journey right now.
Through yoga, somatic movement, and reflection, I’m learning to observe my patterns and emotions with curiosity rather than judgment.
My body has become a teacher, every sensation a form of communication.
This kind of self-inquiry helps me understand not just how pain lives in my body, but how compassion, awareness, and breath can begin to shift it.

Ishvara Pranidhana — surrender to the divine.
This one weaves everything together.
It’s an invitation to trust life’s unfolding, to find wisdom in uncertainty.
Surrender isn’t giving up, it’s releasing resistance, leaning into trust, and remembering I’m supported by something greater.
Every challenge carries its own sacred lesson.

These teachings remind me that healing isn’t about striving, it’s about softening.
Not about control, but connection. 🙏🏽

Embracing this journey, wherever it takes me, whatever it guides me to work through, honoring each season and lesson.

yoga is so much more than postures- it’s a way of living, breathing, and being 🌙

Today I’ve been exploring Ishvara Pranidhana, the fifth Niyama - often translated as surrender to the divine or trust in something greater than yourself.

In a world that teaches us to control, strive, and hustle, this principle invites us to soften. To trust the unfolding. To remember that we are part of something bigger, and that not everything needs to be figured out in this moment.

🕊️ Embodiment practice:
When life feels heavy or uncertain, pause. Place your hand on your heart.
Whisper to yourself-

“I surrender. I trust the process.”

Notice the shift in your body when you release the need to control.

🌺 Living Ishvara Pranidhana looks like:

Letting go of attachment to outcomes.
Trusting your inner guidance.
Moving through challenges with grace.
Offering your actions with love, not ego

As I walk this path of healing, learning, softening: I’m learning that surrender isn’t giving up… it’s giving over.
Allowing life to flow through me, not against me.

What does surrender mean to you right now?

Embracing the journey of self-discovery and alignment.

When we choose to listen to our bodies and trust our intuition, we unlock a deeper sense of peace. It’s in those tough choices that we truly serve our highest selves.

🌿 it’s very rare I find a photo of myself that I like … as the years go on and these camera lenses improve, image quality increases and lines develop on my skin…

So thank you for yet again capturing another image I can keep and share with pride 🌾

has been capturing our Women’s Networking Events & the photos are absolutely stunning. The album from the Women’s Networking at came through yesterday & April, Claudia and I all agreed they are beyond stunning.

I can highly recommend working with if you’re uncomfortable behind the lens and want someone who can find the true you in still images, she will make you feel so at ease 🙏🏽

Ever wonder what’s truly going on inside when you feel overwhelmed, or surprisingly calm? ✨

Our nervous system is constantly working behind the scenes, shaping how we experience the world, manage stress, and even perceive pain. Understanding its different states isn’t just theory; it’s a powerful tool for navigating everyday life, especially when you’re living with chronic pain or a sensitive system.

This carousel dives into the fascinating world of Polyvagal Theory, simplifying how our vagus nerve influences our feelings of safety, connection, and stress responses.

Learning to recognize these states is the first step towards truly listening to your body. When we understand how our nervous system is designed to respond, we can begin to gently guide it towards greater balance and ease, especially through embodied movement. It’s about moving with your body, not against it, to foster calm and reduce discomfort.

Let’s explore how this incredible science empowers us to better manage chronic pain and build a more resilient nervous system.

My Mission to Relieve Endo Pain & Live a Fuller, Fitter Life

Living with endometriosis is no easy road — the pain, the fatigue, the unpredictable flare-ups, and the way it weaves its way into every part of life. But I’ve made a promise to myself: to work with my body, not against it, and to slowly build a life that feels stronger, freer, and more in tune with what I need. 💛

Here’s how I’m going to do it 👇

🌸 Start Slowly & Gently
I’m swapping punishing workouts for gentle, rhythmic somatic movement. I want to tune into my body — to notice how it feels when I move, to sense the areas that need love, release, and attention. Think embodied dance, fluid stretches, and tension-releasing flows that meet me exactly where I’m at.

🌿 Grounding & Nature Time
I’ll be getting outside, barefoot on the earth, soaking in nature’s healing power. It’s one of the simplest, most beautiful ways to help calm inflammation and regulate my nervous system.

🚶‍♀️ Daily Movement Goals
Walking is medicine. I’m aiming for 5-7k steps a day, working up to 10k, while being kind to myself on the tough days. Life with kids, work, and pain is a balancing act, so it’s about consistency, not perfection.

🧘‍♀️ Yoga, Stretching & Breathwork
Daily yoga, grounding exercises, and tension-melting stretches are key. It’s not about forcing flexibility — it’s about creating space in my body and mind.

🏋️‍♀️ Bodyweight Exercise & Light Weights
Once my baseline strength is back, I’ll gently ease in some bodyweight exercises and light resistance work to support my joints, bones, and mood.

👐 Tapping & EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)
Because healing isn’t just physical. EFT will help me release emotional tension, manage stress, and feel more emotionally balanced through the ups and downs.

🥗 FODMAP-Friendly Nourishment & Supplements
I’m focusing on a FODMAP diet to calm my gut, ease bloating, and reduce flare-ups. Plus my daily Supernova Living powder and upping my water intake — because hydration is everything.

✨ It’s not about quick fixes. It’s about creating a life that feels softer, stronger, and more connected to my body’s wisdom.
