For many of us, Christmas is a busy time with lots of social engagements and activities... but staying centred and taking time just for you can make all the difference. So many of us are a bit burnt out at this time of year, so the thought of obligations and giving can feel a little overwhelming. While we all celebrate but gifting and thinking of others, it's super important to also gift to yourself and fill up your cup first.
Daily self care rituals, when done consciously, allow us to rest and breathe in between the outer commitments we have. These seven tips are easy and cost nothing to do! You deserve time out and connection to yourself.

It's when we face grief, shock, disbelief and life's inevitable stresses that poetry speaks to us. Capturing the depth of human feeling when regular words aren't quite enough. Poetry has always been my outlet, my confidante and my companion.
In the light of what we've witnessed this week in Sydney and continue to witness in Palestine and Israel, this poem came to mind. Somehow, we must find our way amidst the darkness and atrocities that occur every day in too many places... both seen and unseen... and to both humans and the world of nature.
May love and life continue to conquer and overcome all that challenges it... ❤️ ✨️

Doors have always fascinated me. When I travel I love to take pictures of doors…old rustic doors, ornate beautiful doors or just a regular simple door that is often unnoticed.
Doors offer such timeless symbols of both possibility and mystery.
The unknown lives on the other side of a closed door.
Doors represent a threshold moment that can be captured when we decide to open and enter.
We can go through a door to an inside space or return through it back outside into the world beyond.
Each moment a choice.
Each time we are perhaps a little different after passing through the threshold.

Freedom lives within the bounds of an open door, inviting us in to engage with what lies before us.
We may choose to stay on the other side of this threshold, or we may choose to enter.

Life gives us these same threshold moments, when we come to cross roads and feel the quiet tug for growth, change and new beginnings.

So maybe it is time to find a new door to open or finally open the one that is right before you? It is only through taking a little risk or pushing beyond the comfort zone of safety and predictability that we meet the full potential of who we are and what is possible.

Pilgrimage isn't about the destination. It's about who you become in the sacred space between departure and arrival.
Our retreat experiences create the container for this liminal transformation. Through walking ancient paths, intimate group work, and expert facilitation, you're supported through the threshold.
This is where breakthrough happens.

The reel says it all! I'm so excited to be running my favourite retreat in magical Sintra in Portugal 🇵🇹.... This programme is very dear to my heart, as it brings together all the processes and activations that I've gathered over many years and opens the portal for reflection, discovery and awakening! I can only imagine what magic will unfold at this incredible fairytale town and forests of Sintra ❤️ 💙 💜

When you see photos of Sintra, Portugal, the first question you ask is - "Does this place actually exist!?" This enchanting place is filled with magical forests, gardens, historic castles and is even nestled up against majestic cliffs and the wild Atlantic ocean. Well I am happy to tell you that not only does Sintra exist, but you can join us there at our Authentic Life Transformation Retreat in late April 2026! What better way to be transformed than with the magical backdrop of Sintra....

Nettle is such a wonderful plant, full of iron and a great blood tonic and anti inflammatory. It grows wild all over the world and can be foraged as a spinach-like green and used for cooking. Just beware the stinging potential of the leaves and always use gloves when harvesting, unless you want an old folk arthritis remedy!!
