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.

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.

You still move with love in a world like this? That’s sexy of you.

Love this picture 🫶🏼

I’m proud of this body. It’s been through a lot and some this year.

For the way it holds my soul.

The ability it gives to feel and be seen even through the unseen.

It’s the energy that moves through the body that speaks loudest.

And love.

Love is the ultimate grace to hold and move with.

Through all layers, mind, body and soul.

Your soul is what makes you sexy.

And that’s the biggest flex of them all.

HBD to me and my twin bro. Celebrating life today and everyday 🤍

We planned for sunshine and roses, but Mother Nature had other ideas.

The rose garden greeted us with the first signs of autumn. Soft drizzle in the air, the kind that makes you breathe a little bit deeper. Instead of resisting it, we used it. We filled our lungs, activated our minds and let nature guide us into presence before moving indoors for warmth, reflection and stillness.

The heavens opened as soon as we stepped inside the sanctuary and our soundtrack to the guided meditation and journaling that followed, was the gentle sound of the rain. Almost as if nature was saying, “I’ve got you.”

That morning, whilst guiding everyone through breathwork and journaling, I was reminded once again how connected we really are. How nature mirrors us. Always responding, always supporting.

My mission has always been to empower people to connect to their own inner source. It will never get boring to witness in people that when we unplug from everything and everyone we outsource ourselves to, we realise that we are the smartest smart device of them all. And we have been all along.

Every moment a reminder to recieve. To release. And a chance to bloom and breathe.

Mind. Body. Soul. Always connected. Always enough.

Getting high on your own supply (last slide).

Because when you’re surrounded by crystal tones, golden bowls and a pool full of blissed out humans, why wouldn’t you?

Levitating on air…in the water…flowing with sound x 🤍

Tuning out to tune in. Always in all ways.

Here’s to the kind of luxury wellness that doesn’t just look good but feels divine in every single way.

Yum.

As with anything in life, this moment right here starts with you.

Just as you must breathe to live, you must grow to thrive. The world is always changing. There is no stagnation. Nothing stays the same forever, including you.

As you commit yourself to evolve, you’ll see the difference between the you today and the you yesterday, a week ago, a month ago, a year ago. Witnessing these moments of your evolution only empowers you more. Without you, there is no passion, no purpose and your mission does not exist.

So we start here. With you.

In my work and with my method, a good place to start is working with the physical body to get to the non-physical bodies.

When you give yourself the opportunity to connect your mind to your body, you understand the you that you are right now and it helps you become more conscious of the reality you’re creating in every moment. On all of your layers (physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually).

They’re never working independently from each other. If one layer is affected, you’ll notice it somewhere else.

We are the most immaculate instrument of them all.

Here’s my tease:

Next year I’m making my courses, my passion and my mission available in a different way. A new way of learning and working together. No matter where you are in your life, your practice and even geographically.

I cannot wait (yet have to wait) to share this with you.

More to come soon.

My Story

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 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.
