✨I asked my body what it needed and it whispered back…deep rest.✨

As we sink further into autumn, let this be your gentle reminder: you do not have to overextend yourself.

November feels like the quiet pulse between seasons where the fire of autumn softens and the Earth exhales into stillness.

Day by day, we’re carried deeper into the Yin time of year… a season of turning inward, conserving energy, slowing down, and honouring your nervous system, your boundaries, and your inner reserves.

Let these deeply Yin months guide you home to yourself.

Move with the rhythm of the season and allow its hush to invite gratitude, softness, and tenderness into your everyday life.

Step softly into the darker half of the year; a space where rest, remembrance, and renewal are waiting to hold you.

I’ve just come through an intense few weeks of work on the windy, wet isle of Anglesey… a world away from the warm summer days. Yet even in the wild weather, I was surrounded by the most beautiful souls each day. I’m forever grateful for them and for the way our paths have now woven together.

And yesterday brought a welcome shift; a day of lightness, laughter, hugs, blue sky, sunshine and being fully present with my bestie. Exactly what my soul was craving.

Today…I’m a little hungover, I’m glowing and I feel deeply aligned and grateful for everything I’m experiencing and everything that continues to flow into my life 🥂

I’ve done the work to shed what no longer serves me.
I’m showing up differently.
I’ve stepped into a higher realm of consciousness and spirituality - I can feel it and it feels beautiful.
I’ve created this life for myself and now it’s time to fully live this new chapter.

As I step into natures true rhythm…I will now begin to slow down 🍂.
Alongside our final Mercury retrograde bringing a cosmic pause…a chance to slow down, reflect, refine and realign.

Retrograde energy invites deep inner work: revisiting the past, gaining insight and restructuring your path forward.
It’s a call to connect with your inner world and truly listen.

As Mercury meets Saturn, you’re encouraged to think long term, set boundaries and build foundations that support your growth. Revisit your values, self-worth and the relationship you hold with yourself.

With Mercury moving through its shadow for the next two weeks, take time to integrate what you’ve learned and begin putting your aligned changes into motion.

Needing support to slow down, to reconnect & soften…there is still time to join me on my wintering retreat at the end of this month.

Turning 40 feels like stepping into a whole new life.

A life written by me.
A life of freedom, peace and self-worth.
A life where I walk with open eyes, fully knowing who I am and what I deserve.

The past shaped me but it doesn’t define me.
The next chapter? Mine entirely 🙏🏻

Here’s to reclaiming our stories, embracing our journey and celebrating every moment along the way.

Excited for this next chapter ahead and all the beauty it will bring 🫶🏼

✨ What if you gave yourself the pause you keep promising you’ll take ‘one day’?✨

Life has a way of speeding up.
The deadlines, the expectations, the constant giving.
You hold so much…often more than anyone realises.
And somewhere along the way, your needs slip to the bottom of the list.

But your body always knows.
It whispers for rest.
It aches for space.
It longs to breathe without rushing.

Wintering is your chance to finally listen.

A 3-night, deeply restorative retreat designed for women who are tired of running on empty and ready to come back to themselves.

Set in the quiet beauty of the Welsh mountains, this retreat invites you to slow down, soften, and let yourself be held in a space that feels warm, safe and deeply grounding.

Across three nourishing days, you’ll experience:
🌿 Slow, embodied yoga that melts tension from your body
🌿 Breathwork & meditation that soothe your nervous system
🌿 Soft mornings, spacious afternoons, and fireside evenings
🌿 Seasonal feasts prepared by our private chef

🌿 Optional 1:1 Reiki to support deeper release
🌿 Gentle rituals to guide you home to yourself

This is rest with intention.
Rest that refills you.
Rest that helps you remember the woman beneath the stress and the noise.

Feeling quietly grateful this week…

Two lovely bookings came in for my bespoke wellbeing events, a reminder of how much I love creating these moments of calm for people.

One is for a local coffee shop who want to gift their team a peaceful pause from the December rush - a candlelit, fully guided evening to rest, release tension and soften the mind and nervous system.

The other is a children’s nursery beginning their January with a wellbeing day for their staff - gentle movement, breathwork, meditation and deep rest to set a calm tone for the term ahead.

I travel to you… and this year has taken me to some beautiful places 🙏🏻

If you’re planning something meaningful…a birthday, hen do, pre wedding calm, a work reset or a ladies’ getaway - I can craft an experience just for you.

If it feels like the right time to bring more ease into your gathering/celebration, reach out with your date and location.

HIDING BEHIND THE SMILE

Are you finding yourself hiding behind a smile right now❔

As the Christmas season approaches, the pressure builds - busier schedules, heavier workloads, rising stress, money worries, emotional strain… so many people are quietly carrying:
✨ challenges with their mental health
✨ financial strain
✨ fears about keeping their business going
✨ grief and the ache of missing loved ones
…alongside countless other pressures and tender moments.

We’ve all answered ‘I’m fine’ while feeling anything but…crumbling inside, emotionally unsettled, overwhelmed or utterly exhausted.
And sometimes we keep it to ourselves because we know others are struggling too.

📷 This photo was taken a few years ago at a work Christmas party I reluctantly attended, just days after losing my Nana.
💔 My heart was broken. I was holding back tears and all I wanted was to be at home curled up in bed.

It’s frighteningly easy to hide behind a smile… but if I can offer anything right now, it’s this: Talk. Share. Let others in. And be the person who listens with an open heart. ❤️‍🩹

Who is going through a lot right now❔
Honestly - almost everyone.
So be gentle with the people you meet. Smile at strangers, pause to chat, offer a compliment, spread kindness wherever you can.

Create small pockets of happiness for yourself, and for others, today and every day.
Let’s look after one another 🫶🏼

🧘🏼‍♀️ And if you choose to join me, know this: you will be seen, you will be held and you are welcome exactly as you are.

30 years from now, you would give anything to be this age again.
This young, this healthy and with this much time ahead of you.

Go and live your life to the full every day, say yes to every opportunity, and write yourself a story you are proud to look back on.

Do it now before it’s too late

You don’t need to have it all figured out - I didn’t. You’ll doubt yourself. Others might too. But if you believe in your vision, even just a little, begin anyway.

You figure it out as you go.
The hardest part is moving past the “what if I can’t” and “what if I mess up.”
But trust me - you can and you will, if you keep showing up, keep learning and keep going. That’s how growth happens.

I’m living proof that you can create something beautiful for yourself.

I used to be that woman - exhausted, feeling stuck, broken.

And now - I’m healed & living the beautiful life I created for myself.

It’s not always easy, but it is absolutely worth it.

Decide how you want to live, where you want to be, what your days should feel like, and who you want around you…

And take action. The time is now.

If your body is whispering “slow down”… this is your invitation ✨💌

Wintering: for the woman who is ready to exhale.

28 Nov – 1 Dec | North Wales | Private rooms only | Ladies only

November has arrived, the year has taken its toll.
The pace. The pressure. The invisible load.
You feel it in your shoulders, your breath, your energy.

If you’ve been craving space, real space to slow down and come back home to yourself…

Your next stop is the mountains.
Grounding. Rest. Remembering.

Join me for three deeply restorative nights in the heart of the Welsh countryside. A warm, candlelit haven where everything is taken care of for you.

What you’ll sink into:
🔅 Slow, grounding yoga
🔅 Breathwork & meditation to calm your whole system
🔅 Fireside stillness & cosy private rooms
🔅 Seasonal feasts by our private chef
🔅 Wines & fizz paired with every dish
🔅 Optional 1:1 Reiki
🔅 Gentle rituals for release and reconnection

Leave feeling nourished, rested and whole.
Clear. Grounded. At ease within yourself.

You don’t need to earn rest.
You don’t need to wait until burnout.
You just need to say yes to yourself.

📩 DM me “Wintering” for the Welcome Brochure or find the link in my bio.
Spaces are limited - private rooms only.

Step into stillness. Let yourself be held 🫶🏼
