Just a gentle reminder for anyone who might need it today 💛

You don’t have to wait until things feel really hard to talk to someone.

I’m a local counsellor in Aldinga offering private sessions for:
• couples
• mums feeling burnt out
• people wanting practical tools for emotional wellbeing

Support can make things feel lighter.

Feel free to message me if you’d like more info.

Emotional distance doesn’t mean love is gone.
It often means stress, resentment, exhaustion or unspoken needs have built up.

Counselling helps you understand what’s really happening underneath the silence.

Same fight.
Same reaction.
Same outcome.

Patterns keep couples stuck.
Awareness breaks them.

Counselling helps you change the pattern — not just the moment.

Many mums feel guilty for needing time alone.
But rest isn’t selfish. It’s essential.

When you care for yourself, you show up calmer, clearer and more present.

In Breath, James Nestor writes...

“The simple act of breathing deeply can change the chemistry of our bodies.”

Imagine that.

Something as small as a conscious breath can shift stress, anxiety and overwhelm.

And yet.. how often do you actually stop?

Many mums feel guilty for needing time alone.
But stepping away for 10 quiet minutes with a book, a tea, a deep breath… that’s not indulgent.

It’s regulation.
It’s restoration.
It’s essential.

You don’t need a weekend away.
Sometimes you just need a moment.

🌿 What book are you currently reading?

Local mums... this one’s for you 🌿

If you’ve been feeling:
• constantly tired
• mentally overloaded
• stretched too thin

You’re not alone. I work with many mums in our community who feel this way.

I offer private counselling sessions here in Aldinga in a calm, supportive space where you can finally exhale.

You’re welcome to message me if you’d like details or have questions.

Finally, a lifestyle book that transcends diet and exercise for solutions for living longer. I've enjoyed reading parts of this book already.
I love the fact that as a scientist she found out that factors for longevity, such as diet and exercise, while obviously important did not have as much effect as ones relationships and social networks on longevity.
Physical and mental health are so intertwined. Her book discusses the mind-body connection and how having a positive growth mindset makes being physically healthier, easier.
Marta said 'if time spent otherwise searching for answers in fad diets and extreme exercise routines was spent in creating meaningful connective relationships, and finding a purpose in life then the path to good health and happiness would be a more successful one.
Yep, sure agree with this one.

After the usual busyness of Christmas I was more than happy to have a day of avoiding a 'To-do list'
Instead I created a 'what I want to do' list.
I thought after spending time getting my house in some order that I needed to rest but I thought I'll give the garden a bit of attention for about half an hour.
Then two and a half hours later I came inside not even feeling tired🤔
I think that's called being In Flow.

I managed to get rid of old winter vegetables - still some carrots to harvest- prepare the beds for summer planting.
They're empty now, not an interesting photo but I also planted some seedlings.
Hopefully in a month or so time I can put them into the rejuvenated garden beds.
With a bit of compost, water TLC and some tiny seeds they will produce more yummy produce for summer. You've got to admire mother nature...
I didn't feel I had the energy for much activity today but being in the garden somehow grounds me, brings me back to myself and often helps me feel very grateful.

I also found this delightful Budlea bush has produced stunning coloured flowers...
I hope you get a chance to create a 'What you want to do' list over the holiday break😉

Signing off, Grateful Gardener

Gee I'm ready for a rest and retreat myself, so Ive been looking to head interstate for some yoga, silence and meals I haven't had to prepare.
And THEN Robyn Molsher, who has attended several of my retreats has put together what looks like just what I am looking for at Normanville S.A!

I am running a few sessions at this retreat in February and I think I will stay as a guest as well...

Lots of good things on offer, close to home, really well priced and a thoughtful way to start the year...

Maybe I will see you there?

Slow down, tune in, reflect on the last year, and set intention for the coming year in beautiful Normanville, SA. Live the life that you want.

Preparing for a retreat or a presentation, I always take a moment to walk through my garden and gather flowers for an offering.
It brings me into the present and helps me reconnect with beauty.

I’m really looking forward to sharing my passion for rest, restoration, and becoming the healthiest version of ourselves 🥰especially in these busy times.

Hi all
I've had someone unable to attend the retreat tomorrow due to illness.
So there's a spare space I would like to gift to another woman.
If you could do with a few hours of time out for yourself tomorrow, being in a nurturing space with other women to Rest in Restore please message me and I can send you the details.

Short notice I know, but maybe you can make it happen?
