Meet the team ❤️

These three have names because they are not just instruments to me. They are companions. Teachers. Gatekeepers of different doorways within the body.

Styx
Tuned to the sacral chakra, the centre of emotion, fluidity, creativity, and deep feeling.
Named after the goddess of the river Styx, the guardian of the threshold between worlds. In mythology, Styx was not something to be feared, but something to be crossed. A passage. A transition.
This bowl helps soften the places we grip. It reminds the body that feeling is not dangerous, it is movement. It is life flowing again.

King H’Arthur
Tuned to the heart chakra, the bridge between the physical and the energetic, the place where strength and tenderness coexist.
Named after the once and future King, who symbolises the balance of courage and compassion. A true leader does not harden the heart, he protects it.
This bowl anchors. It steadies. It reminds us that vulnerability is not weakness. It is the doorway to connection.

Lulu
Tuned to the throat chakra, the centre of voice, truth, and expression.
Named after the iconic Scottish singer Lulu, whose voice carries both power and soul. The human voice is one of the most ancient healing instruments we have. Before words, there was sound. Before understanding, there was vibration.
This bowl supports expression, not just speaking, but allowing truth to move through the body without obstruction.

And then… there is my voice.
Layered over the top of these bowls is the sound I carry. I sing to my students in each class, not as performance, but as offering. As bridge. As invitation for the nervous system to soften, to listen, and to remember that it too is an instrument.

Together, we create the field. 🐝

PS… if you book a Nectar Flow Massage & Nidra, you don’t just get me.
You get Styx, King H’Arthur, Lulu… and the field we create together.

In case your body needed poetry instead of productivity today…

I need a massage
Who will soothe my aching bones?
Just Bee kind with me

Somewhere between holding everyone else together
and holding yourself together…
your body starts whispering.

Tight shoulders.
A jaw that forgot how to unclench.
A nervous system that hasn’t exhaled fully in weeks.

This is your reminder:
you don’t have to earn rest.
You don’t have to justify care.
You only have to listen.

Just Bee Kind with yourself. 🐝

Imagine a treatment that feels like sinking into warm honey. Slow hands, steady breath, and time that stretches just enough.

The Honeycomb Head Melt includes full-body massage, followed by an extended, warm-oil ritual for the head, neck, and scalp, where the nervous system can truly drop into rest.

Perfect for anyone who struggles to switch off, carries stress in their head, neck and/or shoulders, or simply craves being deeply held in rest.

Here’s me, maybe ten, definitely mid 90's, happy to turn up and perform for a camera and already living with grief.

Back then I didn’t know or use words like nervous system, somatic healing, or emotional regulation. I just had a new house, a new school, a different family shape, and a heart that had to grow up a little quicker than anticipated.

Grief isn’t only a black dress and a funeral.
Sometimes it’s the lost playground, the bedroom that stops being yours, friendships that disappeared overnight, or a life that suddenly feels unfamiliar.

Ten-year-old me wouldn’t have known what a "child's pose" was. But this little Enneagram 9 in the making certainly would have gone straight to the library to help another kid learn to read or entertained her new friends by playing pretend. My early flight attendant training comes to mind “Any ci******es, wines or spirits?” (It was the 90s) 😂🤣😂

If you were the brave kid, the helpful kid, the adaptable kid, the performer, the distractor, the caretaker, or the “I’ve got this” kid... "hello". I see you. Your inner child deserves a cuddle, a chocolate biscuit, and full permission to have a wobble.

This is why I developed my Yoga for Grief series.
Not to fix anything, but to give your body a safe place to feel, soften, and remember that you were never too much.

So if your little self is still carrying something heavy… bring them to the mat. We’ll make space for breath, tears, play, and maybe even a cheeky grin.

My first Alberta winter, early 2014!
Snow falling, camera in my hands, everything unfamiliar and full of wonder.

Mid-photography era, fresh to Canada, collecting hobbies with the man who would spend the next decade lovingly tolerating all my hyperfixations 🤣😂🤣

Some beginnings change your whole life 🙏

Yoga for Grief is for you if…

You’ve experienced loss, and you don’t quite know what to do with it.
(Not just death. Change, endings, identity shifts, the quiet ache no one sees.)

It’s for you if talking feels exhausting, but being alone with it doesn’t feel right either.

If your body is holding something your words can’t quite reach yet.
And it’s for you if you’re not looking to be “fixed.”Just held. Gently. In breath, rest, ritual, and shared humanity.

🖤 No forcing
🖤 No performing grief “correctly”
🖤 Just space to arrive exactly as you are

It feels like the planets have finally lined up…
Or maybe I’ve just stopped rearranging them long enough to hit “publish” 🤣🤣🤣

But! I finally have a proper website, and I’m officially bookable online again!

Massage, rest, and gentle yoga offerings are slowly unfolding as part of my gentle relaunch.

If you’ve been meaning to book, return, or just have a nosey, the link’s in my bio.
No cosmic pressure. Just good timing 🌙🐝

Tried something new today: Tai Chi. Before I went I told Liam I was in the mood for a “slow fight,” 😜 which honestly… isn’t that the perfect description? I’d seen it before, all graceful and flowing, but I’d never tried it myself. So, no prep, no research, just me walking in brand new and a little nervous.

There’s something strangely wonderful about being a beginner. Not knowing anyone, not knowing the moves, the rhythm and just letting myself fumble through anyway. It’s humbling, but also freeing. A reminder that you don’t always need to be good at something for it to be good for you.

So here’s to the slow fights, the shaky steps, and the courage it takes to show up. Because even if my form was questionable at best, I left feeling calmer, steadier, and a tiny bit braver. And that’s a win in my book. ☯️🙏☯️

I’ve been a little MIA the last few days, my ritual slipped away under the weight of appointments, work, visitors, and the general busy-ness that likes to creep in when I’m not paying attention. 🤪🤪🤪

But here’s the thing: rituals aren’t ruined by breaks. They ebb and flow with life, and sometimes the pause is exactly what shows me how much I value them. Now that the cooler weather is here, I’m ready to reset?!? Maybe even upgrade 🤔. Think blankets, candles, and rituals that feel like nourishment instead of another “should.”

So here’s to starting again (and again, and again). To remembering that it’s okay to fall away because the return always feels like coming home. 🍂💛🍂

We counted 13 turkey vultures swirling overhead — technically a “kettle” when they’re in the sky (and a “venue” when they’re chilling on the ground, which sounds suspiciously like they’re planning a goth wedding). 🖤🖤🖤

People get twitchy about the number 13, but honestly? I kinda love the witch’s number! Transformation, rebellion, a reminder that life doesn’t play by tidy rules. Pair that with vultures (nature’s unapologetic clean-up crew), and suddenly it’s like the universe is staging a very dramatic metaphor just for me. 🤔🖤🤔

So yeah, some folks might see 13 vultures and think “bad omen.” Me? I see 13 winged goths in a cauldron of sky, basically yelling: “Time to drop the dead weight, darling.” And honestly… I sometimes need that obvious symbolism!

Another oldie but a goodie (after the success of the last old pic 😜 🤣) and tell me this doesn’t look like a still from some indie film? My husband is ridiculously talented behind the camera. He’s always been able to catch those in-between moments that feel more like a story than a snapshot. 🥰❤️🥰

This was back in the days when plastic straws weren’t yet considered the devil 🤣. Simpler times, with fewer paper-straw meltdowns and a lot more carefree sipping.

Looking at it now, it makes me smile, a reminder that love is in the details, in the glances, in the little freeze-frames we get to keep forever. (Also, someone cast me in a retro noir immediately, thanks. 😏)
