After a weekend filled with socialising, I chose to spend the day of my 30th birthday with our good friends the 🍄. The intention was to reflect, to be present, and to look ahead. I drove out to the furthest point in nature and spent the afternoon with my phone off, no distractions, entirely alone, accompanied by just my journal and pen.

It would have been so easy to continue filling my social cup up, but I knew deep down the practice that would be really potent would be real interospection and integration time.

I gained so much insight from this space, and so wanted to share it as a reminder that you don’t have to wait for a big birthday to create a container like this. That you can carve out afternoons in transitional periods of life when you feel like you need to make a little more sense of the situation.

With love. X

Milestone birthdays feel like a big deal, don’t they?
It’s just another day really, in the cosmos, but I’m alllll about turning as much of life into a celebration and a ceremony as possible.
so, here we are.
30, flirty, & thriving (as the quote from my teens goes ((prizes for guessing the film))

Turning 30, I set the intention to be inspired, and to inspire.

It ended up in a six day long celebration of some of my favourite people in the whole world coming together to celebrate in Portugal.

So, many, times, over these days; I laughed until I cried, I sat in awe of the incredible humans I have in my life, I danced my ass off, I stirred a gigantic pot of food to share, I said ‘I love you’.

And I was reminded constantly of how grateful I am to have people in my life that meet me in these moments.

Honouring the circle’s of people in my life that bring me so much bloody joy.

30 more years with you all please!

A reminder to tell your closests you love them for absolutely no reason whatsoever. 🫶🏽

You’re telling me we live on the same planet as trees connected by an underground symbiotic web of fungi that links their roots, even when they aren’t touching, sending resources from stronger trees to weaker ones… and the love I give to my friends isn’t felt beyond my own circle?
I don’t think so, honey.

I see you.
I feel you.
I love you.

This Sunday, we gather for ourselves, for the women around us, and for the women we will never meet. 🕊️

On International Women’s Day, Sunday 8th March between 11am-12:30pm, we’re doing something a little different. Rather than just celebrating, we wanted to give.

So we’re bringing our passions together — movement, breathwork, meditation — and giving every penny raised to Women for Women International () whose programmes support the urgent unmet needs of women and girls across the globe including Palestine, Afghanistan and Iraq.

Join us from 10:45 to be guided through pilates at 11:00am with followed by breathwork with .

📍 (gifted free of charge for this cause — thank you)
🦋 Bring your mat & water bottle
💛 100% of proceeds to Women for Women International

All donations are being matched by Women for Women International until Sunday.

Register your space by grabbing a free ticket via link in bio (required on the day) and donate a figure of your choice via Revolut (link in bio) or in cash on the day.

If you’re unable to join us, a contribution is still so warmly welcomed.

Reach out with questions. More information about the organisation can be found at

All our love,

Niamh & Imo

Lovingly, no.

I love this last slide because it reminds me that intentional boundary setting can be done from a place of love.

Like, yes, I love you, but no, I am not going to pick you up at 3am again when you are drunk.

Or, yes, I love you, but my work is valued at this rate and the price cannot be changed.

Both of those realities can exist simultaneously.

Too often in the past, I let my boundaries soften because I did not want to hurt the other person or harm the relationship. When in fact, it was myself I was harming by allowing my boundaries to be crossed.

By getting clear on my values, I no longer let my life be led by yeses to cater to others needs.

Now I take time to listen to my body and respond with, “Let me come back to you on that.” And if my gut gives me an immediate response, it is a loving, “I love you, but no, thank you.”

I surround myself with a community that does the same. Women and men who take pride in speaking their truth and owning their no without apology.

For so long, I could not hear my gut because of the noise in my external world. Then I began dedicating time to connect to my body through conscious and sensual movement, and the subtle messages of my breath.

That quiet connection meant I could recognise the power in my voice and the strength in saying no.

What I desired in relationships became clearer, and more aspects of my work fell into alignment.

This is why I do somatic work. To create space in a noisy world, evoke creativity and power, and then lead with soft, intentional strength.

In March, I am holding two somatic exploration containers that bridge the inner exploration with bold expression.

The first is online on 1 March. The second is in person in Lisbon on 7 March.

Attend one practice or both at a special exchange.

Details are in the link in my bio.

Thank you for the photos from retreat at last summer.

This isn’t another reel preaching morning routines, I promise. Give me a minute x

My teacher shared a line recently in class that stuck with me, he said:

How does it feel to be still? Or to repeat the same thing over again? Not easy is it? What is easy is to move and change because it’s exciting and new. but actually the real growth happens in the brackets between the movements, when we aren’t chasing the change and we’re building a consistent practice. A habit. To refine a skill. To deepen knowledge.

His words reminded me of a yogic concept written about in the ancient philosophical texts of the sutras:

Abhyāsa

Abhyasa is commonly translated from Sanskrit to the sacred art of returning, practice, repetition and inner cultivation.

Returning to practice not just once when the world is jumping on the back of a trend, but showing up for the practice for seasons or even across the arc of a lifetime.

In the world we live in, it’s so easy to jump from sparkle to sparkle, but the real rewards often lie in the sameness of returning, time and time again.

I am someone who loves to try different outlets of expression. This was the second time ever I went skiing, and yes I will ski again, to keep humbling myself, but I notice even within these newer outlets, my familiar practice keeps me grounded and focussed.

Returning, returning, returning, until the path is no longer in front of me but a rhythm living within me.

Where do you return to?

The lungs.

How often do you really think about them?

Last week, alongside .retreats, we guided a Breathwork retreat by the pyramids, focused on getting intimate with the lungs.

In Chinese medicine, the lungs are said to hold Wei Qi, our protective life force. Energetically, the lung meridian runs from the chest down the inner arms to the thumbs, and emotionally the lungs are linked to grief and sadness.

They are the organs that carry us from our first moments to our last.

Physiologically, the lungs do so much more than just bring oxygen into the body. They regulate the exchange between oxygen and carbon dioxide, influence blood pH, support circulation, and communicate directly with the nervous system. The way we breathe shapes how calm or activated we feel, how efficiently energy is delivered to our cells, and how well the body recovers from stress.

I chose to work with the lungs throughout the retreat not because participants had asthma, but because when we bring awareness to the lungs, we can access a reservoir of life, and death, under the surface which can sometimes show up as grief.

Grief from changes in identity, moving homes, ending relationships, or versions of ourselves we’ve left behind. These experiences are easy to move on from mentally, yet they can remain in the body as shallow breathing, a tight chest, and chronically tense shoulders.

So how did this look?

The day unfolded as a flow of focusing on everything from vast, spiralling twists to tiny, details of thumb circles inspired by somatic release exercises.

We spoke to the question ‘What do you really want?’ in voice work, and softened into conscious connected breathwork, known to ventilate areas of the lungs that might be underused.

Each practice was a window into the body, allowing stagnant energy held in the lung cavity and diaphragm to shift.

We tapped.
We massaged.
We danced.
We shook.
We stretched.
We shared.

Forever grateful for the community that gathered at the Abu Sir pyramids to breathe together and to the land of Egypt for welcoming me.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Buy yourself the god damn flowers 🌹

Some thoughts while walking to host the self-love centred Valentine’s Day women’s circle today in a windy Lisboa.

One thing that came up in the circle was the appreciation of those friends that will tell you exactly what you need to hear, not what you want to hear.

So sharing this, as that friend.

😘
