Small wins matter.
Life isn’t linear — it’s perfectly timed with ups and downs. We’re all dealt different hands, so be gentle with yourself.
Sometimes healing looks like simply getting out of bed, sending that message, or taking a breath before reacting. These moments might feel small, but they’re proof of growth.
Celebrate them. Honour them. Let them quietly build your confidence, one step at a time.
You don’t have to be perfect — you just have to keep going. ✨

Walking along the beach today, and I was told, “How lovely it is that you get to work here.”
And it stopped me for a moment - because yes, it is lovely. But it’s also something I fought hard to create.

For years, I was stuck in a cycle of being “busy.”
12-hour days.
No time for myself.
Carrying layers of loss and personal trauma that I never truly paused to heal.
I was pouring from an empty cup, and I didn’t even realise how empty it had become.

But those difficult chapters sparked something in me - a quiet, steady pull toward supporting others so they don’t have to navigate their pain alone. That spark became my purpose.

And that purpose has shaped how I choose to work today.

Being in nature has always been a lifeline for me, a place where I breathe deeper, think clearer, and reconnect with what matters. So I built my work around it. Slowly, intentionally, and with a lot of courage.

Now I get to walk beside clients in the places that once helped me heal.
I get to create space.
I get to choose balance.
I get to work in a way that honours who I am.

And yes… it is lovely.
Because it’s a life I consciously created — one step, one choice, one brave moment at a time.

🎄This was so much fun 🎄that I am offering this Festive Fundraiser as part of Novembers Wandering Woman’s Nature Walk.
We will wonder mindfully through the open forest towards an ancient woodland where we will sit together in circle as women have for millennia and use what nature has offered us to create our own Christmas wreath 🌿🍁
Expect gentle conversation, moments of stillness, connection with yourself, nature and others, warm tea (bring a flask) mince pies (on me) and something a little different.
This is a FREE event welcoming donations to Dorset Mind.
Please follow the link to book your spot : Wandering Woman - Novembers Nature Walk and Wreath Making https://www.eventbrite.com/e/wandering-woman-novembers-nature-walk-and-wreath-making-tickets-1948362467589?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=listing&utm-source=wsa&aff=ebdsshwebmobile

🎄Need a fun, festive excuse to hang out AND help your community? 🎄

We thought so! We're putting together a do-it-yourself Christmas Wreath Making events to support Dorset Mind. Think pine needles, good company, and festive vibes!

Details are dropping soon, but let us know: Would you love to twist some festive foliage with us? Double-tap if you're in! 💙

Rest is a valid part of emotional regulation.
If your mind is asking for slower days, it’s not weakness—
it’s your system signalling a need. Listen to your body, it’s your soul trying to speak. 🌟☀️

“I’ve always felt I had to do things because they were expected of me, or more important, to make people like me. The hell with it! I think from now on I’m going to just be me—rich or poor, good or bad, rational or irrational, logical or illogical, famous or infamous.”
