About me and Thyme With Charlie...
I started my love of movement as a dancer from 3 years old which turned into my profession and trade until I injured my lower back in my 20’s. A combination of Energy Healing, Yoga, Pilates and Calisthenics became essential for my recovery and have been a consistent part of my life for nearly 15 years.
I discovered Sound Healing whilst living in Dubai which aided the healing of both physical and emotional ailments and after seeing and feeling the results, I was hooked. I have been teaching Sound Healing Meditation classes with Tibetan Singing Bowls since 2016 and in 2017 I qualified as a Yoga Alliance Ashtanga, Vinyasa Yoga teacher. I have been fortunate enough to teach Meditation and Vinyasa Yoga in some beautiful parts of the world including the UAE, India and the UK.
In my short and wonderful time on this earth, I have been through many ups and downs. Life, at times, has been physically, mentally and emotionally challenging in both extreme and not so extreme ways and sometimes all at once. As a result I have learnt first hand how precious our bodies, minds and time really are...I'm eternally grateful and respect these moments for bringing me to where I am today and inviting in all the things I love about life with Travel, Healing, Yoga, Meditation and Exercise creating, Thyme With Charlie.

For years, my donation-based sessions (now called Pay From the Heart sessions) were something only those who could get to a room in the UK could experience.
That changes now.
I’ve moved these sessions online, which means no matter where you are in the world, you’re invited.
Once a month, I host a live 1-hour Sound and Energy Healing Meditation. You pay what feels right for you, the energy exchange is yours to decide.
No fixed price. No barriers. No joke. Just an hour together with the bowls and our presence.
We start this Sunday the 12th of April @ 20:00 GST (Dubai time).
Come as you are. Bring what you can. The space is open for you. For us.
DM me the word “HEART” and I’ll send you the link to book.

March 🌱
I’d seen it before it arrived. The kind of knowing that lives below thought, below language. The kind that comes when you’ve learned to trust the peace in your heart and the land beneath your feet more than the noise above it.
Prayer thickened the air. Peace settled. Peace that asked nothing of you but presence. The whole country felt it. Even the ones who don’t believe, believed in something.
When the skies moved the ground, that peace didn’t shatter. It went deeper. It became mine. Not borrowed or reflected. Mine. Earned. Embodied. The quiet acceptance of what will be, will be. And the equal acceptance of what won’t.
That is not surrender. That is the truest kind of strength I know.
The media had its version of events. Maybe we all did. We all look at the same sky and see different storms. It doesn’t matter. It never really did.
Then the rain came. Weeks of it. The land remembered something. And so did I.
It stripped things back to what’s real. To the quiet intelligence of the natural world that was never confused, never performing, never waiting for permission to be.
Slowing down further. To sit with family, friends, animals, nature and creativity with the utter peaceful silence of rain.
More grief arrived. Another small spirt left. One I guided home, though I know now he was already asking to leave. An ending that arrived without warning. The weight of holding loss while life keeps moving around you, indifferent, extraordinary. His expiry giving way for more. Whispers of not yet. There is more, much more to do.
Not more to endure, but more to give. More to be, more to discover in the quiet that only arrives when you’re ready to see it.
A month that felt longer than a month. No escape. No answers. Just honesty. The slow uncomfortable liberating process of becoming more real. More rooted, more at peace and more yourself. The version that exists when no one is watching, when the rain is falling, when you touch death, when the ground shakes and you discover that the thing keeping you standing was always you.
There’s nowhere else I’d rather be.

We think the ritual begins when everything is in place.
But it begins long before that.
In the preparation.
In the presence.
In the quiet moments where no one is watching.
The unseen moments are the work.
Where preparing for the ritual is the ritual.
The way we show up for them is the way we show up for life.
There is no separation.

One of my favourite ways to administer sound medicine is through sound massage.
While many instruments can be used in sound healing, Tibetan bowls offer something completely unique when working directly with the body.
Sound massage is where the Tibetan singing bowls thrive.
Their versatility, vibrational depth, cosmic connection and all their handmade goodness, allows practitioners to work intuitively. Placing the bowls on different areas of the body or moving them through the surrounding field becomes an energetic dance.
A co-creation of intuitive magic between the character of the bowls, the source energy, the client and the practitioner.
The quality of the bowls is everything.
Get to know your instruments and where they come from. They have so much to tell you and will support you in any kind of sound session.
Genuine, real deal, OG handmade bowls are very different.
The vibration is the massage which makes sound massage deeply cellular and somatic, rather than simply an audible experience.
Other instruments can absolutely support sound healing work.
Crystal bowls create beautiful atmospheric sound in meditation spaces and tuning forks are powerful when working with specific frequencies or points on the body.
But when it comes to sound massage, the layered overtones and deep vibrations of the Tibetan bowls are truly unparalleled.
Plus, crystal bowls are also incredibly fragile. If one falls and breaks it will instantly teach you the art of detachment.
Most people don’t realise how many techniques you can do with bowls on the body until they experience it.
It’s been over a decade of teaching my TWC® method of sound and energy healing and sound massage in person.
And very soon, for the first time ever, it will be available online as a workshop.
Stay tuned (punny) for more.

February ✌🏼
The best part of my year so far? Flying to the UK to surprise my parents for my Dads birthday.
I almost didn’t go. I’d already clocked 8 flights in 6 weeks, 10 in 7 felt illegal to my nervous system.
But the potential fomo spoke louder than the travel fatigue, so off I went.
Elite decision. 4th slide.
There’s nothing like being around the love of family always, but especially when you need it most. It was such a healing five days.
We laughed, we (mostly me) cried, we took mini adventures, ate our body weight in pancakes for pancake day and watched movies whilst doing puzzles.
Even without any doing, quality time is the greatest gift.
The month I hit burnout in a big way. But also the month that the universe said “here’s a ridiculous amount of love to balance it out.”
And if you’re planning to come say hi to me at home any time soon, you’ll be greeted by an inquisitive red dragonfly who has claimed residency at my front door. He’s either trying to come inside or keeping guard or both. Either way, he’s my little messenger, we’re buddies now and I call him, Wingman.
Soooo…how is it March tomorrow? Who authorised this?

I love my life.
I love who I am in my life.
I’m deeply grateful to me for the choices I’ve made to be exactly where I am at this stage of my life.
And at the same time, I’ve been living alongside a quiet, profound grief since August.
A culmination of moments of loss, endings, truths and love in different forms.
Grief is weird. There is a kind of sadness that doesn’t ask permission. It arrives and rearranges you. It throws you sideways, upside down and inside out. And for a moment, nothing seems to matter.
Until it does.
Until your body asks you to stop.
Until you realise you can’t override what you feel.
Until you see clearly who holds you gently and who steps back when things aren’t easy.
Sometimes the people you thought you could lean on are the ones who pat you on the shoulder and say, “you’re a tough cookie”. When all you want is to be held.
And sometimes the ones facing the end of their time here can offer a depth of love so pure, so real, so present and so honest and hold you there in a breath…that it makes everything else fall away.
When you sit close to mortality, the noise disappears.
The material things. The stories.
None of it carries weight.
What matters is time. Real time.
What matters is being able to sit with yourself without distraction.
Grief is a strange gift.
It has a way of showing you where you overextended your heart and where it was truly met.
It strips you raw before it clarifies and returns you to what is real.
And what is real is simple. Love. Presence. Breath. Connection. Truth.
I love my life even more now. Not because it’s perfect, but because I see it clearly.
And clarity makes existence sacred.

Some spaces hold memory.
Some hold love.
And some feel like they’ve been waiting for this moment.
Sharing my bowls in Rome with inside the Coffee House Palazzo Colonna felt nothing short of sacred.
A room where centuries of art, devotion and romance live on the walls and ceiling above you. Stories of love literally painted into history.
Lying on the floor, the bowls vibrating through marble and time, it felt like the past and present were gracefully meeting.
A brand making history, inside a place that already holds so much of it.
We painted our own history that day the way, with deep reverence for what came before.
There was something deeply poetic about sharing my sound language here, where love has always been honoured and where is now writing its own chapter in Italy 🇮🇹
One of the most breathtaking spaces I’ve ever guided a session in.
Grateful doesn’t even touch it.
Rome…you have my affection.
And Italy…what a beginning 🤍

I’m so back.
Did you miss me?
Rhetorical.

To quote someone very special to me:
“I remember 2025 like it was yesterday.”
Happy 2026 to me, to you, to us 🤍
I’ve never been one for New Year’s resolutions. I believe in making life happen for yourself any day or time of the year, not to be held/limited to a man made cycle.
If anything I took away from the last week is to live life in a way that if you were to leave tomorrow, you know you’re ready. Loosely translated as: Squeeze every drop of every moment out of life and be deeply happy, content, at peace.
That’s our birthright.
Nothing else matters.
Don’t wait for cycles.
Create and live your new reality now.
I started the year with a huge squeeze, watching the sun set suspended in the air (second last slide), transporting between worlds with my heart and soul fully invested into my peace and my happiness, doing what I love with utter unconditional love.
So. Much. Love.
Long may that forever be my resolution.
Grateful to you all for being here to witness this experience with me 🤍

This is was my first video of 2025.
I landed back home in Dubai at the strike of midnight and started the year walking from passport control to baggage claim, smiling and almost skipping, wishing myself and anyone who heard a happy NY out loud.
I then posted this video to my stories and wrote, “starting the year as I mean to go on…” And I did just that (third slide for stats).
As a child I used to get horrendous air sickness. As an adult I can’t remember a time that I didn’t love to travel. I’m so grateful I’m able to and that I make the opportunities to travel too.
We travelled a lot as a family growing up. If my parents wanted to go somewhere, we all went together. My Dad’s job took him all over and my Mum is from a far away land so we travelled a lot to visit family. And that was my first insight into how much there is to explore, see and experience in the world.
And wow wee, what a world.
There’s something so magic about being suspended in the air above or in the clouds, the sky, the stars, like touching the edge of the universe, transporting yourself from place to place.
Yet that’s only the physical aspects of travel. Our physical bodies are limited to one place. Our minds ability to be wherever we want is unlimited. So even if you don’t travel place to place in your body, travel wherever you want to go in your mind, in your heart.
One day I no doubt believe some kind of teleportation will be possible.
I’ll always favour the window seat so I can romanticise travel and the view. A tiny window with a huge view of opportunity of worlds upon worlds of the new and unknown.
We think we travel to change scenery, but what truly shifts is scale.
We become smaller and in that, more honest.
The world does not meet us as tourists, it meets us as mirrors.

In my element. Surrounded by candlelight, held by natures elements, so many gorgeous people opened themselves to receive it all with me, through me.
Time stood still.
And before we knew it, we were back. Back into the body, into the heart, into the full senses. Awake and awakened. Alive and full of life.

A combination of Energy Healing, Yoga, Pilates and Calisthenics became essential for my recovery and has been a consistent part of my life for over 15 years.
After many years of working in Operations Management in corporate environments and running a couple of independent businesses, I decided it was time to give my life a little more meaning.
I was exposed to the holistic healing world from birth and as a child I was always fascinated by what the human eye couldn’t see. When I was old enough to start to understand the potential power healing has for good, to be able to help people and seeing it work its magic, I learnt Reiki at 15 years old and practised on anyone whom I was drawn to help, including the family pets.
Thanks to my travels and places I have lived, I have been fortunate enough to meet, work with, be treated by and learn from wise and beautiful healing mentors from the land of karma and spirituality of how to channel these gifts. I discovered Sound Healing whilst living in Dubai and immediately connected with it. The practice aided the healing of both physical and emotional ailments and after seeing and feeling the results, I was hooked on this ancient healing modality.
Throughout the years I found the space, energy and love to develop my healing abilities as an intuitive lightworker and energy healer and after pursuing happiness and oneness I understand that now is the time to share my knowledge, experience and gifts I received to guide people to find their true self and inner peace.
I have been teaching Sound Healing Meditation classes with Tibetan Singing Bowls for a number of years and in 2017 I qualified as a Yoga Alliance Ashtanga, Vinyasa Yoga teacher.
