“Part of self-care is knowing who we are, what we want, where our boundaries are, and being able to genuinely be ourselves.” Sharon Salzberg

Self-care looks different for each of us.

It’s not always about therapy, meditation, or journalling; sometimes it’s about using what’s available to you right now. A deep breath. A walk. A conversation. A pause.

We don’t know what we don’t know, and light bulb moments often arrive when we least expect them. ✨

As we move through life, different parts of us need nurturing in different ways. Growth isn’t a straight line. It’s a gentle recalibration, again and again.

If you’re ready to explore your own version of that recalibration, I can walk alongside you....blending the modalities that meet you where you are. 🌿

There’s a reason I’ve been quiet...

I’ve been in the wellness space for over 20 years; and wow, how it’s changed.

In the early days, much of what I studied and practised was labelled “woo woo”. Now, science is catching up and there’s evidence to back so much of it.

From alchemy being a word few dared to use to now being everywhere... from sharing wisdom in community circles to scrolling through endless snippets online....the landscape looks so different. Some of it is wonderful; some of it feels diluted. There’s a lot of noise.

Covid brought even more change. A flood of new practitioners, a rush of demand, and a focus that sometimes feels more on aesthetics than authentic well-being. People are buying the shiny rather than the real.

And now AI enters the space. A fascinating tool, yes, but one that comes with its own ethical questions, especially when we say we love the earth and yet forget the cost of these technologies.

For a while, I’ve felt quite isolated and lonely in my thinking; unsure if others saw or felt the same shift. I actually drafted this some time ago, but it was reading recent newsletter and seeing her subsequent reel that gave me the courage to finally share it. She expressed it far more eloquently than I ever could, yet her words reminded me that I’m not alone in what I’ve been feeling.

So, I’ve been pausing.

As I look to becoming an empty nester, as my body asks me to slow down, and as my sense of purpose shifts I find myself feeling a little rudderless. It’s unfamiliar… but maybe that’s the point.

Perhaps this pause is where the next layer of alchemy begins. ✨

Loneliness and isolation have a lot to teach us; especially when we stop trying to fix or hide them.

I’ve realised I’m not lonely because I’m alone; I’m alone because I choose peace, honesty, and authenticity over noise and people-pleasing.

When people drift away, I no longer chase or question it. I trust that space makes room for something better aligned.

Maybe that’s the quiet confidence that comes with age, or maybe it’s just the relief of finally being unapologetically myself.

💫 Here’s to solitude without sadness...and to being okay with who stays, and who doesn’t.

✨ I spent a lovely morning online running an Introduction to EFT on behalf of the The Federation of Holistic Therapists .

Another smashing group of enthusiastic learners; such a joy to share this simple yet powerful technique and watch people experience those lightbulb moments. 💫

You don’t have to be an FHT member to join these sessions, so if you’ve ever been curious about Emotional Freedom Technique (Tapping), keep an eye out for future workshops!

✨Awe✨

There’s something about a sunrise that never fails to stop me in my tracks. That quiet moment where the world shifts from night to day feels like pure magic.

Science agrees; psychologists like Dacher Keltner have found that awe doesn’t just feel good; it reshapes us. It slows down our perception of time, enhances memory, lowers stress, and even supports heart health.

I notice it every day in nature’s wonders:
🌅 The rising and setting of the sun, painting the sky anew
☀️ Shafts of light streaming through clouds (as a child, I thought that was God)
🌸 A sky so blue… and yet flowers can be too
💧 Water, endlessly fascinating beyond words
💚 Green....my grounding, forever favourite

✨ “He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.” Albert Einstein ✨

Awe is my reminder to pause, to feel wonder, and to connect with something far greater than myself.

What moments of awe light up your world?

✨ Stepping on to the Path of Meditation ✨

I’m delighted to be speaking for the FHT at this year’s Training & Conference Webinars.

Meditation has physical and emotional benefits; it is the most accessible self-help tool available to us. Yet many people say they either can’t meditate or don’t know how.

In this seminar we’ll explore a few different meditation techniques, their benefits, and some of the neuroscience that shows why we all can step onto the path of meditation.

As a passionate well-being advocate, I’ve spent over 20 years pursuing knowledge in this field and exploring a vast array of healing modalities — including teaching meditation.

I believe we all hold the power within to heal and find balance in our worlds. Sometimes we just need a helping hand to guide and support us on the journey.

Farewell & thank you, September 🍂✨

I was going to say you’ve been a gentle month for me… but as I sit here reflecting, I see you’ve been richly full. Gentle in pace perhaps, yet deeply productive in the ways that matter.

A weekend away in Bath with Hubster filled with laughter and wandering. A trip to Scarborough to study “The Key to Karma” with Alistair, where I reconnected with a community of beautiful souls who always make my heart sing. Long lunches with friends that left me smiling, a day dancing with Sarah-Jane, and even a Pickleball trial (yes – I think I’m going to continue!).

At home, the chimney has been swept and the fire lit, Strictly has returned to my screen, and art classes have resumed after a year’s pause. DIY has been in full swing too; from a new decking area to a refreshed lounge with a new sofa, and even the front door proudly showing off its fresh colour.

And of course, the milestone that has changed the rhythm of our home: Harriet starting Uni. A huge shift, filled with pride, love, and all the emotions in between.

All this, while quietly layering in my new non-negotiables, the habits and practices that support my energy, wellbeing, and joy.

September, you’ve been a month of gratitude, connection, and change. You’ve reminded me that “gentle” doesn’t mean empty.

It can mean meaningful, steady, and full of heart. 🍁💛

✨ My new non-negotiables ✨

An ankle injury in late 2024 slowed me right down. By the time I could move again, the impact on my health was obvious and with work taking priority, I tipped into full Autistic Burnout by Summer 2025.

So now? I don’t compromise. These are my non-negotiables; the things that keep me well, balanced and joyful:

🌞 Daily: Morning walks for movement & sunlight
🌊 Weekly: Wild swimming (hydrostatic pressure, cold water magic & nature!)
🎨 Art class (creativity)
💪 Pilates (core strength)
🤝 Time with friends (connection)
🛼 Bi-weekly: Rollerskating (movement & pure joy)
🌌 Monthly: Solo stretching experiences (personal growth) + finally doing the things I always meant to (and reviewing what those are)

This isn’t just a routine; it’s a reclaiming.

What would your non-negotiables be?

I saw this quote on Gabby Bernstein’s Insta and it resonated so deeply with me. ✨

I’m in my “let’s see how good I can feel and how much I can surrender to the Universe” era 🌙💫

Since my summer break, I’ve decided not to chase for work, but instead to shape work around the things I love to do; not the other way round.

Less pushing. More allowing.
Less hustle. More flow.

How are you letting life hold you right now? 🌿
