Richmond Park mental health walk 🩵

I'm so grateful we got some beautiful weather the other day. I often forget how close Richmond Park is. And how relaxing a walk there can be.

I had a stressful day due to a personal appointment and unexpected changes, but an anchor that got me through was knowing I could escape here after. Nature didn't let me down! 🌳💚

Research shows there are huge benefits to spending time in nature and walking. You get double points for combining both! Richmond park is the perfect place.

Where is your safe space? 🌱

This week’s focus: listening to the body 👂🏼👤

Some weeks I can do endurance cycling. Other weeks I need gentle movement like floor-based yoga.

It’s healthy to move between doing a little and doing a lot. It’s normal to take breaks from exercise. Especially if you menstruate – different phases of the menstrual cycle come with varying energy levels 📈📉

A few weeks back, I was pushing my shoulder too hard. It was painful, but I kept pushing through in my dance class and with yoga at home. I noticed how much frustration I had about being slightly injured. I was also aware of feeling embarrassed about not joining in with certain moves in class. So I kept pushing and did them anyway… while my shoulder was basically yelling “no!” 🤦🏻‍♀️

In more recent weeks, since recovering, I’ve noticed others adapting or softening their movements in class. Self-consciousness really blinds us 🙈 I pushed through unnecessarily. No one actually cares if you adapt moves, if you struggle, if you’re red in the face, or if you’re breathing heavily.

My shoulder is fine now. But it felt like a useful example of how I tuned out from my body and let self-consciousness and social anxiety delay my healing. Each week, my body tells me something different.

Good mental health is so often about listening to the body 💆🏽‍♀️

What’s one small way your body has been trying to get your attention lately?

I explored Alice Holt forest for the first time yesterday 🌲🪾

Have you been out in nature recently? It can be hard since the weather impacts outdoors time, but I find even a rainy walk can be refreshing and reset the mind 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↔️🧠

I do like the saying: there's no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing 🧥 I find it just makes me appreciate the warmth and my cup of tea at home even more 🥰

Have a lovely Sunday! ☺️

My time before sessions today was all about self-care. Of the boring but necessary variety - a routine medical appointment, and then the more fun, chilled variety - chai lattes, my kindle and making friends with geese 🪿😍🏞️

Have a lovely 2nd half of the week 😊 and make sure you're taking care of you! 🫵🏻💓

Sometimes the difference between moving forward and feeling stuck isn't the path itself, but in the small choices, mindset, and self-compassion we bring along the way 🧠💡🛣️ Progress and setbacks often look very similar from the outside. What matters is how we navigate them internally.

I hope you are taking time for yourself this festive season ☕🛋️🚶🏽‍♂️☀️🧘🏻‍♀️🥧🃏

Take some extra moments to enjoy your cuppa, mince pie, and don't forget to make the most of any winter sun 🌞

I'm practising what I preach and having a couple of days off from the 22nd 😌 I'll also be doing the above, and opening the quality streets, if I don't open them before! 🍬😂

But I'll still be popping up on Instagram sharing any insightful posts I see. And I'm working as normal this week.

Have a lovely one! 🎄

🌴🌃✨ Where Growth Meets Belonging

Part 2 of my trip to Asia! 🇸🇬

Singapore felt like stepping into the future and somehow feeling right at home. A city built on hard work and big dreams, yet grounded in family, shared tables, and late-night meals that don’t cost the world.

From hawker centres where everyone gathers side by side, to gardens woven through skyscrapers touching the clouds, and streets that carry echoes of the past alongside modern ambition, it’s clear that balance can exist even in the busiest of places.

It was safe, welcoming, and full of heart - a reminder that growth doesn’t have to be overwhelming. It can be energising, inspiring, and communal 💚

I spent my time trying new foods, meeting my partner's family, exploring unfamiliar streets, and challenging myself to go further than before. The heat alone was a challenge 😂🔥 Each moment reminded me that life isn’t linear: if one path closes, another can open just ahead, waiting for you to take the next step.

Here’s to belonging, even when you’re far from home.
To possibility in every direction.
To growth, connection, and new experiences. ✨

Life isn’t just the big moments. It’s the small ones that stay with us ☕❄️ Pilates, a good book, a cosy drink… these little glimmers help me feel more grounded and alive.

Yesterday threw me off a bit. I felt emotional and not quite myself, but I took things one step at a time and let the day unfold gently. And I ended it feeling lighter and grateful 💛

We all have days like that - when things feel heavier than usual and we just need someone to listen and help us make sense of it.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply needing a safe space to explore what’s going on for you, I’m here.

Calm under the chaos 🧘🏽‍♀️🛵

Thailand had this calm under the chaos energy I can't stop thinking about ✨

Autumn feels like the opposite - heavier, slower. But Chiang Mai showed me a beautiful paradox. Scooters in every direction, traffic, busy, no pavement, then, just around the corner, a sanctuary. Nature, stillness, peace, beauty 🛕🪷 💛

We can find peace even in chaos.

This was my first trip to Asia. I was moved by the temples as someone that has found healing in meditation and yoga throughout the years.

Take this as your reminder to find the calm amongst the chaos 🦋
