Everyday living and building a community that you can fit into your everyday life. 

What a gorgeous weekend it has been, the past two weekends in fact. I love the sun, it makes such a difference to your overall mood, do you agree? Or are you a winter person and love cosy nights and fluffy socks? I’m probably both if I’m honest. There’s definitely space in my life to enjoy both. 

We have really made the most of having some down time the past two weekends and dropping into the simplicity o…

Supporting you to find ways to ease the tension built up in everyday living. 

How often do you pass on things because you are so busy being everything to everyone? 

Stop holding back. Do it now, do it today - building in a few minutes of what you enjoy into your everyday living will change the way you approach your life. I usually filter mine into my morning routine or lunch break because come the evening, I’m fit for nothing because the demand for me to be there for my family is at it’s great…

On reflection of international women's day and mother’s Day I wanted to share some insights around my motherhood journey

Becoming a mum and raising two girls in this world is my biggest achievement. Loosing my own mum has been my biggest heart ache…. But the two have shaped me into the person I am today and I love this version of myself …. 

The circle of life (Elton John jumps in my head every time I write that) is something we are all on, it is the reality of the human race.. We are bor…

Everyday is a choice and we can choose to suffocate in situations around us or we can use that energy to navigate a life of resilience 

People say to me … “oh you do it with ease, you look so well, you make it look so easy” ,  I must state, nothing has been easy for me. The choices I have made over the last 18 months were pure discipline and it was a choice of showing up for myself and my family or quite possibly having a nervous breakdown.

My mum died of Alzheimer’s at 66 and I watched her su…

I still remember my first Reiki session like it was yesterday … 

I had my first Reiki session over 5 years ago and whilst I didn’t fully understand what it was or how it was going to benefit me, I was willing to give it a go and I’m so glad I did. It was one of the most powerful experiences of healing energy I had ever experienced. I remember crying the whole way through it, but not a sad cry,  a relief cry. I knew I was suppose to be there and for the first time in about 18months I felt my who…

The question that keeps flying round since I stepped in to my role as a mother,  and the conversation that I find I have more often than not with other mums is… Do your kids come first?

The answer is yes and no.

Let me explain 

My children are at the forefront of every decision I make; my working week is planned out around them and their activities, the meals we eat are planned to suit their extra curricular timetable, I go to the gym before they even get out of bed so I am around in the eve…

Self care is more than just  bubble baths, gym sessions and hobbies… 

Self care is about the life habits you build on the days you feel on top of the world, so that on the days where you feel like the world is testing you, you still move with positivity and lean in new opportunities rather than solely focusing on the challenges.

Positivity isn’t about being jolly all the time and never experiencing any other emotions; positivity is moving through the challenges with grace and compassion for wh…

I’ve not been well recently, I had a chest infection and It’s really thrown me and impacted all aspects of my life, especially my work and my gym life. My husband commented on the fact that he could see I’m not present at the moment; I’m actually much better, but I’m on catch up with my work and I miss the gym, but I’m physically not up to going back yet ( this is a positive that I acknowledge this).  I am trying not to get so caught up in my thinking, but if my husband can see it, then I know I…

‘If you wait for the right time to start, you will be waiting forever! 

This is your message to start today …. Let me explain why. 

I am very honest about me experiences and I share them openly within my project, this won’t sit well with everyone and I am ok with that, I’m not here to people please, I’m here to reach people who are looking for those signs of hope by listening to other people’s stories of resilience and empowerment. 

It’s been a tough few years, with last year being the worst …
