Did anyone else forget to make New Years Resolutions this year? I know I did, and it just occurred to me that it didn't even cross my mind...

They so often let us set unrealistic expectations for ourselves, but they can also be great for motivation and a little bit of oomph at the start of the year.

2025 was a tough year for a lot of people and I know many that are gingerly tip toe-ing into 2026 almost like they're afraid to knock something over incase it turns into another one of those years. Perhaps that's why I haven't seen many "New Year, New Me" posts or heard any talk at all really about resolutions this year.

Perhaps 2026 is going to be a healing year instead. Recalibrate. Regroup. Regenerate.

While I do have some goals in mind for this year and some things I would love to achieve for my 40th year on this planet, for now I'm happy to let the 2025 dust settle and be open to what emerges with 2026 ✨

Change through Hypnotherapy can feel like peeling an onion layer by layer and other times feel like softly blowing over a house of cards.

This is why we work gently 💛

As we move toward the end of the year, there’s been a lot of talk about shedding 2025, the Year of the Snake - and stepping into 2026, the Year of the Horse, with momentum, movement, and forward drive. In particular, I'm hearing a lot about 2026 being the start of a new 9 year cycle where we start fresh and renewed, leaving behind everything that has accumulated since 2017.

And while that narrative can be inspiring, it can also feel quietly uncomfortable for some.

Because not everyone feels shed.
Not everyone feels resolved.
Not everyone is ready to run.

Some people are still in the middle of things. Still integrating. Still healing. Still finding their footing. Life doesn’t always unfold according to astrological or numerological timelines. It unfolds according to our capacity, our nervous system, and our own season.

If this resonates for you, I want you to know this: you are not behind.

Momentum doesn’t always look like action. Sometimes it looks like pausing, consolidating, or allowing something deeper to settle before the next step appears.

You don’t need to have “shed” anything by December 31st.
You don’t need to be ready for full speed on January 1st.
And you’re not doing it wrong if you’re still carrying things with you into the new year.

Here’s to a new year that meets us where we actually are, not where we think we should be.

Happy New Year 💛

Right before Christmas I hurt my back which has forced me to slow right down. Ironically, I’d been saying for weeks that I needed a break…and it seems my body took that quite literally.

Being on Christmas holidays but unable to actually do much has been frustrating, but it’s also been a reminder that when we don’t listen to the quieter signals, the body sometimes speaks louder.

It’s noticing how often we push through tiredness, tension and stress, telling ourselves we’ll rest later. Sometimes later doesn’t come by choice and rest gets chosen for us.

If this season has asked you to slow down in ways you didn’t plan: physically, emotionally, or energetically, you’re not alone. Slowing down can be uncomfortable, but by embracing it rather than fighting it, your body will thank you.

As the year winds down, I want to say a big thank you 🙏

This work, the conversations, the courage and vulnerability my clients bring to each session: it’s an absolute privilege to be part of. Thank you for trusting me with your stories and your healing this year.

I’ll be spending the holiday break mostly here in my garden, reminding myself that rest is not wasted time. It's where we can reset and regenerate

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a gentle, nourishing end to the year 🌻

December tends to pull us in a hundred directions and it can easily get overwhelming. Take a moment today to check in with yourself.

Ask yourself:

“Where is my body holding tension right now?”

Then try this simple reset:

Take one slow breath in through your nose… and let the exhale be a little longer than the inhale. Let your shoulders soften. Let your jaw loosen. Notice the ground underneath you holding the weight of your body.

You don’t always need a long break, just one gentle pause can shift your whole day.

You’re doing the best you can in a hectic time of year. Be kind to your system today 💛

Oh I love this time of year when things are thriving, the veggies are starting to grow, flowers blooming and beneficial insects buzzing around 🥰

Woke up this morning feeling a bit meh from a busy week but a short stroll around my garden always picks me up and makes me feel grateful ✨️

What's your go to for a quick pick me up? Let me know in the comments 💛

Summer brings BBQs, picnics, and lots of social eating. But you don't need to panic or restrict yourself. Your body handles balance naturally when you respond to hunger, fullness, and pleasure. The key to enjoying your food without feeling guilty comes down to mindfulness.

Having the intention to tune into what your body is telling you before, during, and after eating empowers you to make the right decisions for you, even if in that moment the right decision is a second helping of Pav!

If you'd like support with mindful eating or weight management, I have spaces available now 😊

Hello December, and hello Summer!

I just love this time of year… longer days, the Pohutakawas and Jacarandas blooming, the smell of BBQ fills the weekend air and the promise of a break is just around the corner 🙏

But December can also feel like a lot. End of year pressure, full calendars, wrapping things up, planning for holidays, family dynamics… it’s no surprise our nervous systems start humming a little louder this month.

If you’re feeling that familiar December tension, here’s a simple support tool you can use anytime:

✨ A 30 second Reset ✨

Place one hand on your chest and one on your belly.
Take a slow breath in through the nose… and let the exhale be even slower than the inhale.
As you breathe out, imagine your shoulders melting downward and the ground doing the holding for you.
Just one slow breath like this can signal safety to your system and bring you back into yourself.
To take this even further, imagine you're breathing out a colour of your choice that represents stress, tension and unease.

Be gentle with yourself this month. You’re allowed to make things easier.

Here’s to a grounded, nourishing start to summer 🌞🌻
