Hello! I'm Bec and I’m a Strategic Psychotherapist, Clinical Hypnotist and Performance Coach her Creating a generation of LIFELONG learners

My daughter went through a question asking phase, as all kids do, and one day we were in the car when she asked me about death. Her exact question was “mummy on the day we die do we get to enjoy the day or do we die in the morning?”

Talk about tugging on the heartstrings!

At the time, I wasn’t sure how to respond. She was really young and I didn’t know how much was too much for her little Mind to handle.

But then I realised… her curiosity wasn’t just about endings. It opened a doorway into talking about 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲.

Kids have this beautiful way of reminding us of what matters most, to be present, to love deeply, and to find meaning in the now. Sometimes the hardest questions bring the most powerful lessons.

✨ What’s one small way you remind yourself to live fully each day?

There’s a lot of pressure to “do the work” or “fix everything” all at once.
But sometimes the bravest thing you can do is take one small, honest step.

Real change doesn’t always look like a breakthrough - it often looks like five quiet minutes, a deep breath, or simply letting yourself rest.

This video is a reminder that healing can be gentle.
Start where you are. Go slow. And trust that small still counts.

Healing doesn’t mean the damage never happened. The past, with all its scars and stories, is real and valid. It shaped us. It taught us. It lives in the fabric of who we are.

But healing changes the relationship we have with that past. It loosens the grip it once had over our nervous system, our thoughts, and our choices. It means the wound no longer dictates how we show up in the present moment.

So often we imagine healing as a clean slate, as if one day we’ll wake up and never feel the sting of what we’ve been through. But true healing is gentler than that. It’s the ability to hold what happened without being held hostage by it. It’s knowing the pain is part of our story, but not the whole story.

When we reach this place, life feels different. There’s more room for joy, creativity, connection, and peace. We stop bracing for impact and begin leaning into trust.

Healing doesn’t erase. It transforms. And in that transformation, we reclaim our freedom.

My space has unexpectedly become home to men’s healing. I couldn’t be more touched, grateful or proud to be a safe space for so many men to come home to themselves.

On International Men’s day I’ve been thinking about the truly privileged position I’m in that I get to help so many men.

Thank you to all that I’ve trusted me on their journey and thank you to those who are still to come. If you would like to chat, feel free to DM me.

When life feels heavy, it’s easy to think you need a total reset.
But often, what your nervous system really needs… is just one small pause.

A breath. A song. A moment with no noise.

This week’s video is a reminder that change doesn’t have to be big to be meaningful.
Sometimes, it’s the tiniest choices-the micro-moments-that help us come back to ourselves.

Pick one today.
Start there.
That’s more than enough.

Have you ever had all the insight in the world, and still felt stuck?
You’ve done the journaling, the self-awareness, the unpacking.
But something still doesn’t shift.

That’s not a sign you’ve failed.
It’s often just a sign your nervous system hasn’t caught up with your mind yet and it’s something I’ve experienced myself.

In this week’s video, I’m sharing something that changed the way I approach healing - both for myself and with clients. A reminder that understanding is powerful, but it’s not always enough.

Healing happens in the body too.

Gentle reflection questions:

Where do I feel tension or contraction in my body when I’m stressed? What is my body trying to tell me?

How does my breathing change when I’m anxious or overwhelmed? What would it feel like to breathe into safety instead?
What would shift in my life if my nervous system truly believed I was safe? How might I move through the world differently?

There are many styles of breathwork and I’ve tried many and worked with some, but Facilitated Breath Repatterning (FBR) holds a really special place for me, both personally and professionally.

I’ll be working with a number of new clients this week and while I was chatting to one earlier today she asked me what it was that made FBR different.

As a nervous-system-informed practitioner, I know that real healing doesn’t come from intensity or force. It happens in safety first, then regulation, then integration.

True nervous system informed healing is sequenced. We won’t just guess which tool to work with, we seek to understand exactly what’s going on in your system and choose accordingly. In that I’ve learnt that the nervous system has its own natural order of unfolding — FBR follows that perfectly.

It meets the body where it’s at and gently supports it to move through those stages in its own way and own time.

That’s what I love about it. We’re not trying to make something happen. We’re listening. We’re noticing how the breath moves and where it gets held, because the way we breathe is the way we live.

When our breath is tight or shallow, it’s usually a reflection of how we’re moving through life. When breath doesn’t move into a space, it’s often a reflection of past protectors that haven’t let go.

When it starts to open, life opens with it.

Every session reminds me of this truth.

As the breath flows more freely, the body starts to trust again ♾️ As the body starts to trust again, the breath flows more freely.

Patterns begin to shift, not through control but through allowing. Clients often describe a feeling of coming home grounded, calm, and more connected to themselves.

I love that because it is my purpose to support people in feeling genuinely at ease with who they are. This born from my own journey and FBR has been an integral part of that.

For me, FBR isn’t just a technique. It’s a conversation between body, mind, and spirit that honours the wisdom of the nervous system. It’s one of the most beautiful ways I know to help people return to who they really are.

Addiction doesn’t mean you’re broken.
And beating yourself up won’t help you heal.

Shame keeps us stuck. Compassion helps us shift.

Whether it’s alcohol, overworking, food, or the scroll - it’s not about the behaviour alone. It’s about what that behaviour is trying to soothe.

True change begins when we stop punishing ourselves and start getting curious.
What am I needing right now?
What might help me feel supported instead?

You don’t need to do it perfectly.
You just need to keep showing up with honesty and care - especially for yourself.

And if support feels hard to find, I’m here.

Containment: holding space for what wants to move

When big sensations arise in the body (grief, fear, anger, joy), our instinct is often to push them away or else they can overwhelm us.

Containment provides the safety to allow us to sit with them without the overwhelm.

By gently placing a hand over the area of sensation, we’re telling our nervous system: “It’s safe to feel this. I’m here with you.”

This simple touch creates a boundary that allows the energy to process and move through, rather than getting stuck or flooding our system.

It’s not about suppressing or fixing. It’s about witnessing and giving our bodies permission to complete what they need to complete.

Try it: Notice where you feel sensation. Place your hand there with gentle presence. Breathe. Stay.

This gentle holding creates the safety your system needs to let the sensation move.

Some days, it's not about fixing how you feel.

It's about gently shifting your state-just enough to breathe again, to think clearly, to respond rather than react.

One of the tools I come back to daily (both for myself and my clients) is a simple model that reminds us:

Your emotional state isn't random.

It's influenced by how you move, what you focus on and the words you choose.

And the best part? You don't need a full reset to feel better.

Just one small lever-a deep breath, a question that redirects your focus, a kinder way of speaking to yourself.

Change your state, change your experience. One small shift at a time.

My work with clients requires deep presence and listening in order to make the right decisions around a treatment plan.
