Question Time!
❓✨❓
Evening everyone, I am busy writing some counselling coursework this next coming week (whilst still seeing my wonderful NHS patients and counselling clients), but I am hoping to start posting more soon.

My question is: What would you like to see here? My areas of interest are the following:
- Supporting neurodivergent children, adolescents and their families
- Recovery coaching for Disordered Eating, Bulimia and Binge Eating
- Workplace Wellbeing and Finding Work-Life Balance (a personal project of mine!!)

I'd love to hear what you might find useful.

M O N D A Y M O T I V A T I O N

I've just finished another day of my yoga and meditation challenge. I've invited people to join me for 15 minutes 6 times/week in July, with the 7th day being a mindful activity of their choice.
I've found it so helpful in creating a morning routine that puts - me first - before I begin my day supporting others in my various counselling and helping roles.
Do you wish you could sometimes dedicate more time to - you first?
Let me know if I can help 💕🙏✨

Very much looking forward to heading over to Guernsey later this year to run my Children and Teen Yoga Training.

If you’d like to learn valuable (and some might say vital) well-being skills for young people, get in touch! I can come anywhere within the UK to run my trainings. I just bring my trusty yoga mat and bag of yoga props 😌

CHANGE OF DATES FOR THIS COURSE held in Guernsey!

Due to numerous enquiries for the course to be held outside of summer holidays and not on weekdays (due to childcare commitments), Nicole from has changed the dates of this training to take place across two weekends instead.

If you would like to be able to share the gift of Yoga with children and teens, please get in touch for further information.

No previous teaching or yoga experience necessary! Open to everyone!

New FREE Yoga and Meditation Challenge! 🧘‍♀️

Join me 5 times a week for a short guided yoga and meditation practice, each day at 7:00 - 7:15am. The idea is to create a regular practice of just 15 minutes of stretching, breathing and sitting (doing mindfulness/meditation/anything that feels supportive).

I also teach 3 zoom classes at this time - they are 40 minutes, so you have the option of staying for the full class after the 15 minute challenge.
Join us on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays from 7:00 - 7:40am Each zoom class is £5 but the challenge is free. It is my offering for this month of sunshine, light and energy!

What happens the other 2 days of the week? They are all yours to do as you please - practice on or off the mat, go on a mindful walk, mindful swim, anything that continues the idea that a regular practice of something for yourself is worth it.

You are worth these dedicated 15 minutes every day of July ✨

Comment below if you're interested in joining me!

Every Monday I hold a mindful movement class where we breathe, move and meditate. It's just 35 minutes but the difference is remarkable! I really enjoy weaving questions like these into my sessions - they help to create moments of reflection. Reflection is a key part of any yoga practice and I feel it's important we make space for this on and off the mat so we can continue to evolve, but in a gentle way (no self-criticism here!!) 😉
Can you take time to reflect on these 2 questions today? 🙏✨ 💕

Hope you've all had a wonderful sun-filled weekend ✨💕🥰
Next week my videos will centre around children's yoga - teaching it, running a kids yoga business, the highs - the lows - the magic... and the reality of walking to your car with squashed peas and fish fingers on your leggings!! 😆

Head over to my YouTube channel where you'll find my other videos with some ideas and ponderings on things related to yoga, counselling and well-being: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Tg1TC70TSVo

Have a restful evening all and thank you to all who support the work I do - thank you so so much! x

Thoughts of a Counselling Yogi: Seven
✨
Today's thoughts are all about doing yoga poses you hate!!
What do you think? Should we do persevere with asana we really dislike, or remove it from our practice?

Thoughts of a Counselling Yogi: Five
✨
Today I'm thinking all about rest.
It's something we talk about needing and something we 'should' be doing more of, but are we getting the right kind of rest... and are we even doing it properly!? Let's have a think 🙃

Thoughts of a Counselling Yogi: Four
- the Queen’s Jubilee sparked today’s thoughts which are all about service. I’ve got some more thinking to do on this one but these are my initial thoughts.
- and yes, it’s a day late as there’s just so many celebrations going on! ☺️

Thoughts of a Counselling Yogi: 2 ✨

These are my thoughts on how to share the idea of ‘intention setting’ with children and teens. What are your thoughts? Do you have any experience with sharing these kinds of ideas?
