Saturday, 28th February, I’m running an Introduction to Meditation ✨

If meditation has ever felt intimidating, mystifying or like something you’re “not very good at”, this is for you.

We’ll gently explore what meditation actually is (and what it really isn’t), with simple, accessible practices you can take straight into everyday life.

No special cushions.
No emptying your mind.
No need to be calm already.

Just a chance to pause, breathe, and meet yourself where you are 💛

You can find all the details and book here:

The journal is now live 🌿

I’ve opened a space on my website for reflective writing shaped by daily practice and lived experience. There are two entries up already, with more to come slowly and intentionally.

If you’re curious, you’re very welcome to read.

I seem to finally be getting my mojo back ✨

This week I made my new website live, typed up a few blogs, and scheduled them to go out into the world.
Last week I archived a whole load of historic client records, and future me is very grateful. Slightly smug, even.

Every day I write a to-do list on a fresh page, with the date at the top. I split it into two parts: what’s already scheduled, and what’s to do. I try to tick everything off, but I also prioritise, and I’m completely content with a simple “c/f” against anything that can be carried forward. No drama, no self-flagellation, just… tomorrow.

The website isn’t perfect, and that’s OK.
I’ve been gently nudged towards “done, not perfect”, and there is something deeply satisfying about physically ticking things off a list. Almost unreasonably satisfying ✔️

I deliberately don’t start work until 10am.
My mornings are for what matters to me: morning pages, time with the parrot 🦜, juicing, breakfast, and a little Duolingo to brush up on languages. Admin brain does not get first dibs.

Slow, steady, intentional momentum.
Turns out that’s how my mojo likes to return 💛

For some of us, the year doesn’t really begin in January.

It begins now, at Imbolc, when the light starts to return and something inside softly whispers I’m ready.

This is the season of re-emergence.
Of stirring after wintering.
Of noticing what wants to be tended.....and what’s ready to grow.

I’ve just sent out a new newsletter sharing reflections on wintering, gentle re-entry, and how I’m slowly opening space to work with clients again. With care, intention, and ease.

Last week, I deliberately deleted my X account.

Not impulsively but because I will no longer align myself with a platform owned by Elon Musk that is interfering in UK politics and has allowed its AI tool, Grok, to generate and manipulate images in ways that sexualise real people, including children.
That should give us all pause.

Today, the National Autistic Society announced they are stepping away from X altogether.

After nearly 17 years on the platform, they cited long-standing concerns and, crucially, the recent ethical issues surrounding Grok stating that X no longer aligns with their values of inclusivity and empowerment.

I wholeheartedly support their decision.

This isn’t about being “anti-tech” or flouncing off social media.
It’s about ethics. Safeguarding. And recognising that our presence on a platform is not neutral.

When an AI system is allowed to generate non-consensual and sexualised imagery, especially involving children, and the response is slow or dismissive, that crosses a line.

Our attention is currency.
Our participation is endorsement.

If a major UK charity working to protect and empower autistic people has said “enough”, maybe it’s time more of us asked:
👉 Does this platform still reflect my values?
👉 What am I tacitly supporting by staying?
👉 When does convenience outweigh conscience?

Sometimes walking away is not silence. It is Integrity.

Yet again, I find myself doing my tax return in the final week before it has to be submitted.

The ironic bit?

I studied AAT in my early 20s and worked in accounting for a good few years. The numbers don’t bother me. I’ve implemented accounting systems from scratch for clients in the past and handled far more complex work than this. I even have systems in place now, so pulling the figures together isn’t hard.

Which tells me this isn’t about competence.

It’s about motivation.

According to my Motivational Map, one of my strongest drivers is Spirit. Meaning I’m energised by meaning, purpose, and work that feels alive and connected. Admin tasks may be necessary, but they don’t exactly light my soul on fire.
So yes… I need a clear, immovable deadline to get me over the line.

Here I am. Focused. Motivated. Slightly sighing.

See you on the other side 📊✨

Apparently analogue is trending on social media…
and meanwhile some of us are being involuntarily initiated into it 😅

On Sunday night thieves stole 1,800 metres of copper cable, cutting our entire village off from telephones and broadband. No warning. No signal. Possibly weeks to fix.

Our house is a mobile dead zone, but I’ve managed to coax my Huawei dongle (normally reserved for campervan adventures) into working....just about...in my office. Client sessions have been happening via FaceTime and WhatsApp instead of Zoom, a little glitchy but human and real.

So… the week I’d planned to publish my new website and get my tax return done?

Not happening.

The universe, it seems, had other ideas.

I’m not a huge doom-scroller (though I do enjoy a little dabble), so instead I’ve leaned into what is possible:
🪡 mending projects finally finished
🧺 decluttering that’s been waiting far too long
🔥 slower evenings, fewer tabs open (literally and metaphorically)

Not the week I planned......

22/01/2026

I’ve just finished reading Eleanor by Alex Loxton, and while I’ll be writing a fuller blog on it in time, I couldn’t wait to share how much I enjoyed it.

What stayed with me most was how effortlessly history is woven through the story. Gentle, meaningful snippets that deepen the narrative without ever feeling heavy.

I’ve known about the Eleanor Crosses for as long as I can remember, that extraordinary 200-mile journey, marking where the funeral cortege of a queen rested each night.

What surprised me (and quietly moved me) was how many of those places overlap with my own life:

• Lincoln — a city I love, and where my daughter now studies
• Stamford — close to home, and where my son spent a year at college
• Stony Stratford — where I once ran my holistic centre and spent so much time
• Woburn — a childhood favourite, and where our wedding reception (and night) were held
• Dunstable — woven through my childhood, visiting grandparents in nearby Totternhoe
• St Albans — loved for its Roman roots at Verulamium, and the quiet link of Totternhoe stone in the cathedral
• London — our capital, and once a big part of my working life
It felt like history gently tapping me on the shoulder, reminding me how lives, places, love and loss ripple across centuries.

Some books arrive not just to be read but to be recognised. 🤍

I am shifting how I use social media.

I’m The Well-Being Alchemist....loudly.

I’m done separating who I am from what I practice.

This space is me using my own tools on my own life, in real time.

Not to sell. Not to perform. Not to convince.

I’m 54, neurodivergent, living with lipedema, almost an empty nester,with a body that has a lot of history.

I practice well-being out loud.

I’m an alchemist who stays in the experiment.

If you’re here to walk alongside lived, imperfect, honest well-being then welcome.

Buying or working together lives on my website.

This space is alchemy first.

On Sunday I opened my home to four wonderful women for a Vision Board & Intention-Setting day 💫

Selfishly (and honestly), I wanted an excuse to be with some of the incredible women I know; to slow down, light the fire, and hold space together.

We shared a homemade lunch, fireside conversations, gentle meditation, and let the day unfold creatively. No rushing. No pressure. Just presence.

It flowed so beautifully that I only took one photo....because some moments are meant to be lived, not documented.

This day felt like the quiet beginning of something new for me, a creative direction that weaves together connection, creativity, and well-being.

Simple. Nourishing. Real.

And if this speaks to you… I’ll be down in Brighton on Thursday, running a 2-hour Vision Board Workshop, bringing the same gentle, grounded energy into a shared space.

My heart is very full 🤍
