2025 was not gentle with me.
It took dear ones far too soon.
It stretched relationships to their breaking point.
It taught me lessons I never asked for but clearly needed.

I literally stumbled and tripped my way through the year, more than once.
Sprained ankles.
A wasp sting on my bare foot 🐝
And, finally, falling flat on my face and earning myself a black eye.

As painful (and humbling) as it all was, here’s what 2025 gave me:

- Nothing is guaranteed.
- Busyness is not a badge of worth.
- I do not need to justify or prove myself to anyone, especially not to myself.
- I am enough. Just as I am.

So 2026, I’m choosing differently.
Slower days.
Softer edges.
Simplicity. Calm. Presence.

Less human doing.
More human being.
More joy in the small, quiet moments that often go unnoticed.

Here’s to moving forward with intention, grace, and a whole lot more gentleness 🫶

❄️ Today is World Meditation Day and the Winter Solstice: a powerful pause point inviting stillness, reflection and a gentle reset for mind, body, and energy.

I used to think meditation meant clearing my mind completely, which felt impossible. Then I learned that it is not about emptying your mind, just quietening it a little. And no, you don’t need to sit cross-legged in silence for hours.

Here are 5-minute practices anyone can try:

1. Breath Awareness
Sit comfortably and notice your natural breath. If your mind wanders, gently guide it back, no judgment.

2. Box Breathing (4-4-4-4)
Inhale for 4 counts • Hold the breath in for 4 • Exhale for 4 • Hold out for 4. Repeat to calm the nervous system.

3. Quick Body Scan
Move attention all the way from your toes up to the top of your head, noticing sensations but without trying to change them.

4. Gratitude Mindfulness
Think of 3 things for which you are grateful and really feel each one.

5. Mindful Walking
Walk slowly and notice your steps, the air on your skin, and the sounds and scents around you.

On this shortest day of the year, even 5 minutes of presence can shift your energy, lift your mood, and bring you back to centre. Try one today and notice what happens

🍑 “Where are your bum cheeks?!” 🍑
I know! Odd question. But I was recently encouraged by the lovely Simone to ask myself this whenever I am feeling wobbly, anxious, or a little overwhelmed… and honestly? It works.

This time of year can be beautiful but can also come with a lot of pressure and busyness, leaving many of us feeling frazzled and on edge. If you need a gentle reset that also makes you laugh (and laughter is a brilliant way to calm the nervous system), try it.

Pause. Breathe. Ask yourself:
👉 “Where are my bum cheeks?”

Notice what happens. You might just feel a little more grounded, present, calm and with a smile on your face too!

📣 2026 Sound Practitioner Training • Cornwall 📣
If becoming a sound healer calls to you, or you simply want to explore the magic of sound, Ali’s training (starting in March) is the one. It offers the perfect mix of retreat-style nourishment and powerful in-depth hands-on learning.
I had the pleasure of assisting Ali and her wonderful students on this year’s course and, truly, this is THE best place to begin or even to dive deeper into this world if you are already a sound healer.
Expert teaching, heartfelt support, and held at the stunning Roselidden Farm, a beautiful, peaceful haven that feels like a true sanctuary. Contact for more information.

❄️ Invitation to slow down. As we ease toward the start of winter, I am intentionally slowing down my public group offerings and embracing the quieter, more inward energy of the season.

I do still have a few December spaces available for:
• 1:1 sessions
• Couples sessions
• Small private groups (up to 4 people)

All held in my cosy garden studio in Trethevy on Mondays and Fridays.
(Other days can be arranged if needed.)

If you are feeling the call to pause, soften, and reconnect with yourself, I would love to hold sacred space for you as we gently turn inward for the winter season.

Bookings can be made by the link in bio or please connect with me directly by sending me a message.

🫶 Back at one of my favourite spaces at the weekend, hosting a dreamy evening soundbath for the lovely guests of and Josh before they floated off to bed. And yes… the four-legged visitors stole my heart (and tried to steal my mallets 🐾). Thank you for having me! 😍 🍃

Almost twelve years ago, when I was an exhausted, stressed, burnt out and broken heap, I met Daisy, an incredible yoga teacher who helped transform my life. She showed me the true essence of yoga — far beyond the poses — and also gave me my first experience of sound healing with a one to one gongbath. That encounter set me on a path to training to become a sound therapist and yoga teacher, and I made a quiet vow: to one day be able to offer the same support to others in need, even if just one person.

My life could have taken a very different turn but instead it became a journey of healing, gratitude and purpose, all thanks to one incredible soul.

And this week, for the first time in 8 years, I was reunited with this wonderful human, being able to attend one of her fabulous classes again after moving away.

It felt like coming full circle…a beautiful reminder of how far I have come, and how one person’s kindness, compassion and support can change a life forever.

🎃It was wonderful to be back last night, hosting the first in a new series of monthly soundbaths through the Autumn and Winter months in this cosy cocoon

As people floated out afterwards, I heard words like “blissful”, “calm”, “peaceful”, “ready for bed”, and even “I wish I’d worn my PJs”!

I am back in Bude on Friday 14 November, 6.30-8pm. Spaces tend to fill up quickly, so book soon to secure your spot.

A heartfelt thank you to for the generous exchange of the Sun Gong which paired beautifully with the Earth gong, and to for the use of the delightful Kidney Gong gently guiding people back at the end of the sound journey.

Two years ago, I was meant to be on ’s Earth Alchemy retreat but had to pull out at the last minute because of a family tragedy so it made this weekend even more special than it was already going to be.

Such an incredible few days: time out, stillness, silence, and connection with the most amazing group of women. Beautifully hosted by the gorgeous who holds sacred space so gently and powerfully.

Early morning yoga and chanting, sea swims, forest walks, heart-warming chats, sharing cacao, walking meditations, daily sound journeys, singing and drumming around the fire… and even facing a lifelong fear of being alone in the dark (and spiders!) by spending time barefoot at night on my own in the pitch black in the womb-like underground fogou.

We made floral jellyfish art, hugged trees, embodied Kali, spent a precious Sunday morning at the stone circle, gathered apples, and were nourished inside and out by Molly .at.the.table - every meal was a sensory delight that made us want to clap and sing for joy and that was before we even tasted it!

It is not often you get to spend time with people you have only just met but come away feeling so strong, joyful, and clear-headed. I know this and the time spent with my dear sound sisters Ali and will carry me for many weeks and months to come. Feeling very grateful for this time, this land, and these beautiful souls 🌊🍏 🌳 🕷️🫶

Two years ago, I was meant to be on Ali’s Earth Alchemy retreat but had to pull out at the last minute because of a family tragedy so it made this weekend even more special and meaningful than it was already lined up to be.

Such an incredible few days: time out, stillness, silence and connection with the most amazing group of women. Beautifully hosted by the gorgeous who holds sacred space so gently but yet so potently.

Early morning yoga and chanting, sea swims, forest walks, heart-warming chats, sharing cacao, walking meditations, daily sound journeys, singing and drumming around the fire… and even facing a lifelong fear of being alone in the dark (and spiders!) by spending time barefoot at night on my own in the pitch black in the womb-like underground fogou.
