Discomfort isn’t always a sign that something is wrong.

Sometimes it’s a sign that something is changing.

When the nervous system begins to reorganise and reintegrate, it can feel unfamiliar, unsettled, or even a little uncomfortable. Old patterns loosen. New ones haven’t fully landed yet.

That in-between space can feel awkward… but it’s often where growth lives.

Not all discomfort needs fixing, some of it just needs space, support, and time.

SLOW DOWN!

Your nervous system is always paying attention, even when you’re not.

Not just to what you’re thinking, but to things like pace, movement, and how quickly you move through your day.

If you’re constantly rushing from one thing to the next, your body often gets the message that it needs to stay “on”.

Slowing your walking pace isn’t about suddenly becoming zen or forcing yourself to relax (because let’s be honest… that rarely works 😅). It’s simply a way of giving your nervous system different information: less urgency, less pressure, more space between moments.

Sometimes it really is that simple, change the pace, change the signal.

For the curious:
Research in psychophysiology and autonomic regulation (including studies on heart rate variability and the neurovisceral integration model) shows that behavioural rhythms, like movement pace, influence how flexible & adaptive the nervous system can be.

Like many in our community, there’s been a lot felt since Sunday night.

For many people, events like this can leave things feeling unreal or heavy, moments of shock, feeling frozen, or like it takes time to fully sink in. That’s been felt here too.

I want to say this clearly: what happened was not okay.
Violence is never the answer, and neither is hate. It’s deeply upsetting, and it makes sense that something like this, happening so close to home, has shaken so many.

What needs light, and what’s worth naming, is the way people showed up for one another.
The courage, the care, the doors opened, the help offered, and the actions taken to protect and support others in the midst of fear. Those moments of humanity matter. They reflect who we are, even in the darkest of times.

When something like this happens, especially within our own country, it can affect our nervous systems in ways we don’t always expect, numbness, tension, distraction, emotion, fatigue, or just feeling “off”. These responses are human, and they make sense. It’s okay to feel a little dysregulated right now. That’s been felt here too.

Take a moment, take many, to acknowledge what’s been felt, hold space for those directly affected, and extend care to our local community.

If things feel heavier or slower than usual, please be gentle with yourself and take things one moment at a time.

Hate may have fuelled these events, but love, care, and humanity are what I hope carry us forward.

Nature is one of the quickest ways to bring your nervous system back to now 🧘🏽‍♀️🍃

Sometimes the simplest reset is to step outside, feel the air, notice the colours.
Watch something small, like a bee doing its thing 🐝
And just for a moment… you’re here.
Your shoulders drop, your breath softens, your system gets the message:
“I’m safe. I can be present.”

A tiny moment like this can shift your whole day 🙏🏽

Silly season is officially loading… & word must’ve reached the North Pole, because even Santa’s elves have started popping in to get checked 🎅🏼

With Christmas only one month away, the December buzz is very real.

Our little visitor was definitely showing that classic “pre-adjustment feeling”, twisted, tense, and hanging on by a thread.
A few moments on the table later, and he’s embodying that familiar “post-adjustment feeling”, softer, more settled, and actually able to exhale again.

Of course, elves are magical creatures… but the reminder is universal:
This time of year can build up a lot in our bodies, so carve out pockets of space to pause, soften, and let your system recalibrate.

Even small moments of grounding make a big difference as we head toward the end of the year.

🎄💛✨

We’ve all been there.

12,000 things trimming through our heads, feeling like we don’t even have time to look after ourselves.

Sometimes the best thing we can do is take a moment of self care, support our nervous system & breath.

Here’s to the Christmas 🎄 busyness as it builds and to keeping ourselves grounded & present.

Lately, I’ve been noticing how this time of year tends to stir something in people.�That quiet voice that says, “I thought I’d be further along by now,” or “I should’ve done more.”�
It’s easy to slip into that space, scrolling through what didn’t happen, what we didn’t tick off, where we still feel stuck.
But if you pause for a moment, you might realise that change has been happening all along, just not always in the ways you expected.
�Maybe you respond to stress a little differently now.�Maybe you’re softer with yourself.�Maybe you’ve learned to rest when your body whispers instead of waiting until it screams.

Growth doesn’t always look like big milestones or picture-perfect achievements.�Sometimes it’s the small, quiet shifts, the ones no one sees but you, that matter the most.

So as the year starts to wind down, be gentle with yourself.�Notice the ways you’ve expanded, healed, and adapted, even if it wasn’t part of “the plan.”�You’ve been moving forward all along.

What’s one quiet shift you’ve noticed in yourself this year?
