The most beautiful poinsettia from a client who has just been given the all clear from cancer.

She bounced through my door for her final session — no mask, radiant, smiling — and simply said:

“I’m putting my recovery journey down to the incredible benefits of sound therapy.”

We both shed a tear and hugged!

Over 12 sessions, we have worked together alongside her chemotherapy, using gongs, crystal chakra bowls and tuning forks to support her nervous system, her sleep, her emotional resilience and her body’s capacity to rest, repair and regulate.

Let me be absolutely clear — sound therapy does not cure cancer. And it is never a stand-alone replacement for medical treatment.

What it can do — and what research increasingly supports — is profoundly important:

✨ Reduce inflammation and stress load
✨ Improve sleep quality and immune function
✨ Support vagal tone and nervous system regulation
✨ Create deep states of rest where the body can prioritise healing
✨ Offer emotional safety, grounding and hope during treatment

When the body is not constantly bracing, it has more resources to heal.

Sound works directly with the nervous system — bypassing cognition, meeting the body where words cannot. In moments of illness, uncertainty and fear, this matters deeply.

This poinsettia symbolises so much more than Christmas cheer.

It represents trust, commitment, co-regulation, and the power of integrative support when science, medicine and sound walk hand in hand.

I feel humbled, grateful and even more devoted to offering this work with integrity and compassion.

To everyone walking alongside illness — you are not your diagnosis.

And support comes in many beautiful, resonant forms. 🎶❤️

Big festive love

Trigger warning ⚠️ grief / death

Yesterday I shared something tender.

Christmas has a way of turning the volume right up and we often feel too much "in our head". I wanna help with that today...

Tim hugged me, as he noticed me crying yesterday. I told him how much I wish my wider family dynamic was... More together. I'm grounded in my decision, but my brain still responds to grief waves.

As a human and grief specialist, this matters:

🧠 When the brain reads threat, the thoughts are usually fast, emotional, repetitive and not very kind. They don’t sound like wisdom — they sound like urgency and they're embedded in our unhelpful patterns. Here's some examples...

💜 About belonging

“I don’t really fit anywhere.”
“Everyone else has a ‘proper’ family — what’s wrong with mine?”

💜 About safety

“This feels too much — I can’t cope.”
“Something bad is going to happen.”
“If I relax, everything will fall apart.”

💜 About responsibility

“It’s on me to keep the peace.”
“If I don’t go, I’ll hurt people.”

💜 About connection

“If I say no, they’ll reject me.”
“If I don’t explain myself perfectly, I’ll be misunderstood.”

💜 About self-worth

“I’m too much.”
“I’m failing"

💜About time

“I should be over this by now.”
“It’s always going to feel like this.”

These thoughts aren’t true — they’re protective. We often shut ourselves down or argue back in our heads. Try this instead:

🌿 Create a pause ~ deep breath, splash water on neck and wrists, walk outside (here's a pic of me having a sauna ice bath!)

🌿 Repeat ~ "I am safe now, this feeling is old and it will pass. I'm allowed to choose what helps me right now." (That's what I told myself on the beach)

🌿 Refocus on what IS good, small rituals of remembrance, a slower pace, a truth shared

🌿 Plan two small actions that you CAN do to help create the feelings you WANT to feel. Write, sing, nap, bake, dance, treat yourself

I hope this helps. I'm here if you'd like to explore further. You can find 1:1s, Signature Group Resets and Retreats ~ on my w3bs!te. 12 Week Reset Programme new starters welcome from February and I only have 2 spaces.

Big festive love

Trigger warning ⚠️ death

Next year I turn 40. That's 5 years to the age my mum died.

I hadn't thought about dying in a while, it's something I had to seek therapy for in my early twenties. At that time the fear overwhelmed me to the core. Everything was a possible opportunity to be told I had "something wrong".

This fear heightened in my early thirties, when I received diagnosis after diagnosis. It was a really dark time in my life.

I choose not to have a relationship with my dad too, which makes for another layer of grief.

My wonderful student and friend died recently and naturally this loss hit me harder, because of my other experiences. She once said to me many years ago, "when it's my time, I'll be ready". I couldn't understand that. I still can't, if I'm honest.

My little loves asked questions. Deep ones about how old my mum was, how she died, what she was like, if I miss her still. They even asked about my dad.

It became the catalyst for deeper conversations between me and Tim. What we'd like at our funeral, if we want to be buried or cremated. What we'd do with our "stuff".

Questions that take me back to hard ones I had with mum. Because I was the only one she could have those frank talks with. I fu***ng miss her.

This time of year is even more reflective than usual, as we put up the tree once more and create meaning with those we love.

I'm glad I was able to change my life and create a living that works around my health and wellbeing.

Life is fragile. People come and go. But let's be more kind. Let's hug more. Let's say the cringy lovey dovey stuff more.

Thank you for trusting me with your wellbeing guys. It means so much more than I'll ever be able to describe.

From a teary eyed, grateful
