Hope in Minds, Mindfulness

Have you got that back to school feeling?

Are you holding onto dreams of an Indian Summer or digging out your cosy jumpers and woolly socks? 🧦

It has been such a lovely, warm, sunshiny summer but I think I’m ready to bring back a little routine.

For me that means:
- getting back into the habit of meditating when I wake up 🧘
- morning yoga and movement 🚶‍♀️
- choir starting back up tonight 🎶🎉

For anyone who is feeling overwhelmed by the routine already, join me on Wednesday at 7-7.30pm, from the comfort of your own sofa, for practical tools to help you ease into Autumn more gently 🤍

I’ve just uploaded a new meditation to YouTube, called AWAKEN.

It’s fairly short, intended to help you awaken to the present moment, exploring your external and internal experiences, with a sense of kindness and self-care 🤍.

The link is in my linktree in my bio, so try it whenever you have a few minutes to pause ⏸️

Meditation physically changes the brain.

Before: 🧠
• Stress feels constant
• Focus is hard to find
• Emotions run the show

After 8 weeks of meditation: 🧠✨
• Stress centres in the brain shrink
• Focus and memory networks grow stronger
• Emotional balance improves

Brain scans prove it. Meditation physically changes your brain, and the benefits can last a lifetime.

So what are you waiting for?

My next 8-week mindfulness course starts 17th September in Altrincham.

By the end, your brain could be wired for more calm, clarity, and resilience.

Putting Myself Out There

As a new business, stepping into a room full of strangers can feel daunting… but this mornings Smiley Happy People run by Alex from , reminded me why it’s worth it.

Chris Henson from shared his inspiring story of opening and building his floatation business. Can’t wait to book in and try it for myself 🙌🏻

I met so many people who were open about their journeys, and genuinely interested in mine, which meant that
I left with new ideas, fresh inspiration, and even a couple of possible collaborations.

When you’re building a new business, it’s easy to feel like you have to figure it all out alone.
But the truth is there’s a whole community out there ready to cheer you on, share advice, and open doors.

If you’re just starting out, say yes to networking. You never know which conversation could change the direction of your business.

If your child is more emotional, avoidant, or acting out… it’s often anxiety in disguise.

🧡Calm & Connected is a gentle workshop for children (aged 8-11) and their grownups to:
🌿 Learn simple mindfulness tools to ease anxious thoughts
🤝 Fun accessible yoga to release tension and strengthen connection
🧠 Understand what anxiety really looks like

Because big feelings are easier to handle when we don’t face them alone.

These are just a few of the ‘props’ I use in sessions with children, to connect with the present moment, develop emotional resilience, and reduce stress. 🧘‍♀️✨

In my sessions, kids learn simple techniques to help them stay calm, focused, and balanced, whether they’re at school or at home.

By teaching mindfulness, we help children:
💡Improve focus and concentration
💖Build emotional awareness and
regulation
🌱Cultivate kindness, empathy, and self-compassion
🧘‍♂️Manage anxiety and big emotions
Boost overall well-being and
happiness.

These sessions create a nurturing environment where children can explore their feelings and build essential life skills in a fun, interactive way. 💫

If you’re interested in giving your little ones the tools to thrive, with online and in person sessions, message me for more details. 🦋
