LOOKING BACK, LOOKING FORWARD
The Roman god Janus looks both ways, towards what has been and towards what is still to come. January takes its name from Janus, reminding us that reflection and new beginnings can exist side by side.
Ruptures and endings are part of the story, not proof that hope is lost.
Sometimes repair looks like reconciliation.
Sometimes it looks like understanding.
Sometimes it looks like letting go with care.
As Rumi wrote,
“Where there is ruin, there is hope for a treasure.”
Perhaps the treasure is wisdom, clearer boundaries, or a gentler relationship with ourselves.
We can honour what has been and remain open to what may still unfold.
If you would like a space to pause, reflect, and talk things through, please contact me via one of the links below.

What We Can Control… and What We Can’t

We can’t control the past, other people, or unexpected events.Trying to often leaves us feeling anxious or worn down.

What we can control:
• How we respond
• The boundaries we set
• How we care for our body and mind
• The next small, kinder choice.

Healthy change doesn’t come from forcing ourselves. It grows from awareness, compassion, and one step at a time.

I offer a space to pause, reflect, and talk things through. In doing so, you can discover what choices lie ahead and reclaim agency in your life.

This year asked a lot, and if all you did was survive the tough days and unseen battles, that is a victory in itself. Be proud of your strength, your perseverance, and the fact that you are still here, still going. Here's to a kinder year ahead.

As we step into 2026, may we gently leave behind what has been heavy, and move forward with hope.
Here’s to new adventures, healthier family relationships, fulfilling friendships, and a year that feels lighter, kinder, and more alive.
Happy New Year ✨💕

For all my friends, family, and those in this community who are grieving someone who is not here this Christmas, I have lit a candle in remembrance of you and your loved ones.
I also light a candle on Christmas Eve to welcome a stranger.
Thinking of you all with love 🤍
