💔 A Call to Action 💔

I’m proud to be supporting Laura Richards and Natalie Queiroz in their campaign, calling for urgent change in how violent men are managed within the justice system.

Natalie Queiroz was eight months pregnant when she was brutally attacked and stabbed multiple times by Babur Raja — the man who was supposed to love her. Miraculously, she and her baby survived. Now, that same man is being considered for early transfer to a Category D (open) prison, which could allow day release.

This is deeply wrong. It sends a dangerous message that men who commit horrific acts of violence against women can be moved to open conditions far too soon — and it puts other women at risk.

I know this risk all too well. The man who murdered my sister and 11-year-old niece had been given a suspended sentence in 2010, for violently attacking his then girlfriend AND her mother infront of her children!!!!!! just before starting a relationship with my sister. What the actual hell!!!!! The warning signs were there, but he wasn’t held accountable — and two innocent lives were lost.

These are not isolated incidents. They show a systemic failure to recognise the patterns of abusive men, to protect women and girls, and to ensure violent offenders are sentenced and managed appropriately.

Those in authority have a duty of care — to prioritise the safety of women and children, to hold men accountable, and to stop the cycle of violence before more lives are destroyed.

👉 Please take action.
Write to David Lammy, Deputy Prime Minister, Justice Secretary, and Lord Chancellor, and ask him:
• To stop Babur Raja’s early transfer to a Category D prison.
• To stop all domestic abusers, violent offenders, and stalkers from being transferred early to Category D prisons.

Together, we can demand accountability, protect women and girls, and make the changes to the system that Need to be made!!

✨ Sneak Peek ✨
A glimpse at the free Coercive Control and Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Workbooks — the Laurella Workbooks, created in loving memory of my sister Laura and my niece Ella 💜

May their voices save lives.

I want everyone to have access to awareness and healing.
We must have more conversations about control, the patterns of abusers, and the truth that violence is a choice — control is a choice — and these choices ruin lives.

These workbooks are being created to support survivors, spark understanding, and empower change.
They’ll be available very soon — watch this space 🌿

💔 Recognise the Signs — Prevention Is Power

It often starts like a fairytale.
They say all the right things, make you feel seen, chosen, and adored.
But what happens when love turns into control?

✨ It’s the small comments first.
✨ The “I’m only joking.”
✨ The “You’re too sensitive.”
✨ The way they slowly make you question yourself.
✨ The way you start to apologise just to keep the peace.

That’s not care — it’s control.

This is how coercive control begins. It’s the foundation of many abusive relationships — and too often, it’s the red flag that goes unseen until it’s too late.

🩸 Nearly every domestic homicide is preceded by patterns of coercive control.
Before violence escalates, the victim’s freedom has already been stripped away — piece by piece.

We must teach our younger generation that:
💬 “Joking” at your expense isn’t love.
💬 Making you doubt yourself isn’t protection.
💬 Control is not care.
💬 Respect feels safe — never fearful.

Prevention starts with awareness.
When we can name the behaviours, we can stop them before they destroy lives.

To every young person reading this:
You deserve a love that lifts you, not one that limits you.
You deserve freedom, trust, and safety — always.

💫 Recognise the signs. Speak out early. Prevention is key.
Together, we can break the cycle before it breaks another life.

It’s the “I’m only joking.”
It’s the “You’re too sensitive.”
It’s the slow erosion of confidence that makes you question your worth.

Coercive control doesn’t always start with violence — but it often ends there.
Let’s teach our young people to recognise the signs early.
Prevention is how we save lives. 💔

✨ I did it! ✨
This is my first video talking on Instagram and wow, I have so much respect for people who do this all the time! It’s honestly nerve-wracking… but this message is too important to stay silent.

💜 November marks the start of my journey speaking publicly — taking Laurella out into the world.
So that Laura and Ella will be remembered forever — not just in grief, but as a sign of hope for others.

I’m so proud to share that myself and .squire1 will be joining on Tuesday 4th November to record a podcast with the incredible Laura Richards. This conversation will shine a light on the realities of domestic abuse, coercive control, and the urgent need for change.

This is only the beginning. I have talks booked, plans growing, and I won’t ever stop speaking out.
Because every single one of us deserves to live free from fear — and I want to help create a world where we are all trauma-informed, where we can recognise the signs of coercive control, and where our younger generation are taught what healthy love truly looks like.

This is for Laurella 💜
For Laura and Ella 💜
And for every woman and girl whose story deserves to be heard.

💔 For Our Girls 💔

We are ready.
Ready to speak the truth, raise awareness, and help prevent violence towards women and girls.

Lisa Squires and I will be joining the incredible Laura Richards on her Crime Analyst podcast — discussing the importance of recognising coercive control, understanding the patterns of predators, and how awareness can save lives.

This is my step sisters story, Libby’s story and many other — womens whose lives were stolen by men who had already shown patterns of harm and control.
There were signs, and there were so many missed opportunities — moments when intervention could have changed everything.

Lisa talks about the importance of reporting non-contact assaults — the stalking, following, exposure, or intimidation that predators often carry out long before a homicide.
These acts are not “minor.” They are red flags of escalating danger.
Every incident matters.
Every report could save a life.

It’s called coercive control — the invisible web that traps victims through fear, manipulation, and domination.
It’s not about love — it’s about power, control, and possession.

For Libby. For Laura. For Ella.
For every woman and girl who deserved to live safely, freely, and fully.
🕊️ For Our Girls.

For Our Girls 💔

My golly… it’s taken me a while to get my head around this.
After a lifetime of seeing control — of having it normalised, accepted, and even mistaken for love — my eyes are now wide open.
And I’m ready to teach what I wish I’d known earlier.

It so often starts at the beginning — and it moves so, so quickly.
Those whirlwind moments that feel like fate…
“Don’t you see yourself living in a house like this?”
“Let’s move in.”
“Let’s do life together.”
After just a couple of dates — “leave your things here,” “I can’t imagine life without you,” booking grand holidays like you’ve known each other forever.

It feels romantic — but it’s often love bombing, not love.
It’s the start of control disguised as connection.

This is the story of so many women including my sister Laura who end up in relationships with narcissists — men who charm and then control

And it’s Libby’s story too — a young woman whose life was taken by a man who had already harmed before leaving his trail of previous assaults!!
There would have been signs.
There were missed opportunities —
Moments that show why pattern recognition and prevention are so vital.

Before so many murders, there are signs.
Patterns of behaviour that show a predator’s mindset long before they kill.

It’s called coercive control — the invisible web that traps victims through fear, manipulation, and domination.

It’s about power, control, and possession.
That’s why Lisa and I are joining the incredible Laura Richards — criminal behavioural analyst, campaigner, and voice for victims on her podcast — whose work is truly life-changing in exposing and preventing male violence against women.

Together, we’ll be discussing our girls’ stories with Laura —
🎙️ The textbook behaviours of predators
🔍 How to recognise coercive control
🛑 And how we can stop murder before it happens

For Libby. For Laura. For Ella.
For every woman and girl who deserved to live safely, freely, and fully.
🕊️ For all of Our Girls.

💫Day 1 ✨✨✨Im so excited to be taking my hypnotherapy practice to the next level by training in Advanced Somatic Hypnotherapy with the incredible ✨and the American board of hypnotherapy

This next chapter feels so aligned — diving deeper into the body–mind connection, learning how trauma isn’t just held in our memories, but in our nervous system, tissues, and cells.

Somatic Hypnotherapy is such a powerful approach because it bridges hypnosis and somatic therapy, guiding clients to gently access and release trauma stored in the body. It helps us move beyond just “talking about” pain — and instead, feel, process, and integrate it safely at a deeper, subconscious level.

By combining somatic awareness with hypnotic healing, we can:
🌸 Reconnect with the body’s innate wisdom
🌸 Regulate the nervous system
🌸 Heal emotional wounds at their root
🌸 Create lasting transformation from the inside out

I can’t wait to weave this beautiful, embodied work into my sessions — helping clients not only shift their thoughts, but truly free their bodies and souls from trauma. 💛
