Are you part of the large group of people who have developed notification anxiety, Reader? Even further to that, there is a new term floating around called "Nomophobia" which describes the anxiety that comes from being without one's phone. But for one sec, let's go back to the little red dots all over our phone apps. It's a common thing now that phone users feel the urge to clear their notifications so the red dots disappear. They constantly check their phones as soon as they ping, and can't...

Itās INTERNATIONAL DAY OF HAPPINESS! š©·š„°š„³ How happy do you feel today? On a scale of 0 - 10, where do you sit? Being real with yourself helps you understand where you're at on the tangible scale of true happiness. I've learned through my healing adventure that happiness isnāt something that just happensāitās something we choose. šš¼āļøItās not about perfect circumstances, or waiting for life to finally slow down (because letās be honest, it wonāt). šš¼āļøItās about deciding, every day, to do the...

I just wanted to quickly pop into your inbox with a sneak peak into the new FREE email course, Reader. With every client I meet, they always benefit from learning simple techniques to help them feel calmer. We keep things really simple so as not to add to the overwhelm they feel.

Iāve been thinking about how stressed my clients are when I first meet them, Reader. Regardless of age, sex, how strong, resilient, and capable they are, there's always something that impacts their levels of stress. Many donāt realise they are permanently responding in that heightened state. Itās easy to get caught up in decision fatigue, overwhelm, and dissatisfaction when the balance between wellbeing and life challenges is out of whack. Seeing this scenario occur in every client on repeat,...

Something BIG happened last week, Reader. A milestone Iāve been waiting for. A shift that changes everythingā¦ Iāve got a new home!

Because healing isnāt just about sitting and talking things throughāitās about energy, alignment, and intention. It needs to feel safe, welcoming, and nurturing. From now on, Iāll be creating just that in Brighton...

But right now we're all trying to figure out the...

My eldest son said this to me a few years ago, Reader. It hit right in my heart. He said it in jest, but he had no idea what that meant for me. To understand why, we need to go back about 15 years. (Cue movie rewind with a cool song to get the feels!) I was a single mum for nearly 10 years. Following the horrendous divorce, I was working full time, had my three kids full time, and was solely financially responsible for them in every way. I'm not sure how I did it back then, but I kept going...
