A small but meaningful milestone to share…

For many years now, I’ve had the honour of supporting individuals and families through illness, dying, grief, and the tender spaces in between — offering guidance, holding space, and helping people navigate conversations and experiences that can feel difficult to approach alone.

I’m really pleased to now share that I have completed my Death Doula certification. Whilst the heart of this work has always been present in my practice, this formal training strengthens the knowledge, ethics, and framework that supports how I hold this space through Zala Wellbeing.

This won’t be the last training I attend. In any aspect of work that is in service to others, I strongly believe we should always continue learning, growing, and deepening our understanding.

I’ll also be sharing some gentle, free worksheets soon to help people begin exploring difficult conversations, reflection, and emotional preparation in their own time and at their own pace. Workshop to introduce these worksheets also incoming.

As always, this work is about compassion, dignity, and reminding people they don’t have to walk these paths alone.

I don’t make moon water very often. Sometimes the energy around a full moon feels noisy, unsettled, or like it’s carrying things I don’t want to bottle up and keep around. Not every moment is meant to be stored — some are meant to pass through.

But this one feels different.

This full moon carries a really progressive, expansive quality. There’s warmth in it. Forward movement. A sense of courage and heart rather than chaos. With the Leo full moon illuminating what wants to be expressed, and Neptune now moving through Aries, there’s a strong feeling of vision meeting action — dreams wanting to become embodied, not just imagined.

So tonight I’m saying yes.

Alongside making some oil, I’ll be collecting moon water — simply water placed under the moonlight, held with intention rather than expectation. For me, moon water isn’t about doing anything fancy. It’s about pausing, listening, and allowing the moment to imprint itself gently.

This batch feels good for: – clarity and confidence
– creative courage
– new beginnings that need warmth, not pressure
– rituals, anointing, or even just a few drops added to bath water or plants

If you make moon water, trust your discernment. You don’t have to do it every time. You don’t have to do it the “right” way. The most important part is whether it feels aligned for you.

Sometimes magic is knowing when to wait.
And sometimes it’s knowing when to gather.
Tonight feels like a gathering night 🌕✨

Imbolc arrives quietly, but it’s not a small moment.

This is the turning of the year where something stirs beneath the surface. The days are still cold, the ground still resting, but life is beginning to imagine itself forward. Seeds don’t rush. They listen first.

This Imbolc feels especially potent. We’re sitting with a Leo Full Moon – often called the Snow Moon – lighting up what has been hidden through winter. Leo brings heart, courage, and the reminder that joy and self-expression are not luxuries, they’re vital. If something wants to be seen, named, or honoured, this moon gives it permission to step forward.

At the same time, Neptune’s move into Aries marks the start of a long, slow collective shift. Dreams are no longer content to stay abstract. Vision wants action. Intuition wants embodiment. This isn’t about forcing change, but about gently aligning with what already feels inevitable.

So what do we do with energy like this?
Very little… but very intentionally.

Imbolc is a beautiful time to: – Light a candle and sit with one quiet intention for the coming cycle
– Tend to your inner fire rather than your to-do list
– Notice what feels ready to grow, and what still needs warmth and protection
- Journal and paint freely
– Choose one small, brave step that feels heart-led rather than fear-driven.
- Make a seasonal talisman to weave with the energys of the time, like a Bridget cross or corn dolly.

You don’t need clarity yet. You don’t need a full plan. You just need honesty, gentleness, and a willingness to listen.

This is the season of soft beginnings. Of whispers, not declarations. Of trust that life knows how to move forward, even when we can’t yet see the path.
However you mark it, may this Imbolc remind you that change doesn’t always arrive loudly. Sometimes it comes as a quiet yes in the dark.
Imbolc Blessings 🤍🔥

Wednesday 14th January 2026, our director Sophie Fay Victoria Wright graduated with a Master’s in Palliative Care 🎓

The work she has put in over the past 12 months for this huge achievement is no small feat. Despite navigating numerous personal challenges, she completed the programme with a distinction and received an award for her essay in Epidemiology.

We are incredibly proud of you, Sophie Fay and so honoured to have you as one of our directors.

More on this, end-of-life care, and how we’re growing at Zala Wellbeing coming very soon.

✨ Director Announcement ✨

We’re really happy to share that Jo Bryant has joined Zala Wellbeing Support CIC as a director 🌱

Jo has a wealth of knowledge bringing a depth of care, insight, and values that align beautifully with the heart of our work, and we’re grateful to be growing a strong, thoughtful team around the organisation. We are so blessed that Jo has completed our board and with all the wonderful things she has already achieved in the Crystal Cafe at Kenny’s Vinyl Vault im so excited to see where we are going next.

This does also mean we are officially partnering up with Kenny’s Vinyl Vault and the Crystal café! This means we have a base in Abertillery town as well as Pencoed Fach Farm. We now have an indoor and outdoor venue we can provide all sessions in. 1-1 sessions and many more workshops to come this year, including The Garden.

There’s lots unfolding over the coming months, and we’re excited to be stepping into this next chapter together. More to come soon 💚

Woke up a little sad today and knew I needed to move, found some of my favourite things about winter. Find glimmers. Always.

08/01/2026

Disappointed to postpone this today but myself and Jo Bryant Kenny’s Vinyl Vault had a chat and decided with an amber weather warning for snow in place for today it's best to play it safe.

My feeling is we might be ok to start at 6pm but it may be unsafe trying to get home at 8pm.

Apologies everyone who was attending but we will put another date up in a week or so. 😊

How is your self talk? The world is hard enough without us being hard on ourselves too.
