Try not to fill your head with long self-care lists as your head is likely to already be full and this will just add to your mental load. Start with something nice and easy and achievable 👇🏻

The heater, heated blanket and hot stones have been put away and replaced with fans. I wonder what next week will bring 🤔☀️

There is a shift towards the concept that 90% of our thoughts are controlled by our subconscious mind. Just let that sink in. Potentially, 90% of our thoughts we have no control over. They are determined by the environment, past experiences, other people, media etc. If we know how the mind works we can start to change the neural pathways and change our beliefs, particularly self-beliefs. This is why when you start something and it doesn't work you give up but what if you continue and let these things sink into your subconscious thoughts. This is why affirmations, vision boards and gratitude logs work but they need to be focused on as a daily practice ideally using all 5 senses.

Your body is listening when you say negative things about it. See if there are any changes when you rewrite the story about your body and concentrate on how amazing it is rather than using negative words. Check in with your body after 30 days of these practices and see if there is a difference.

This course was magic ✨ A facelift without needles, or toxic products. It draws upon the Eastern Medicine Systems of facial acupressure points, combined with holistic massage, myofascial release and lymphatic drainage techniques, to create a deeply relaxing and rejuvenating treatment, that aims to leave the skin looking radiant, relaxed, smoothed, sculptured and naturally lifted 💕 What's not to love 💕 Excited to start offering this treatment to clients 🙂

It feels hard because it is hard. Not because you're doing something wrong.

Mothers are told they’re the backbone of the family.
But no one talks about how many of us are breaking under the weight.

There’s no village.
No safety net.
No pause button.

We’re expected to work like we don’t have children…
And parent like we don’t have jobs.

Smile through the exhaustion. Keep the house clean. Make the meals. Answer the emails. Manage the meltdowns. Don’t raise your voice. Don’t miss a deadline. And whatever you do, don’t fall apart.

Society praises “strong mums,” but offers no place to rest.
No room for imperfection. No real support.

If you feel like you’re failing—you’re not.

You’re mothering in a world that asks too much and gives too little.

And the fact that you’re still here, still loving, still trying?
That’s not failure.
That’s power.

⭐It's Mental Health Awareness Week ⭐

One of my favourite Reiki principles "Just for today, let go of worry".

This is about being in the moment. Let go of the past and stop worrying about the future. You cannot change the past and you have no idea what will happen in the future. Psst 👂🏻The future never actually arrives!!!! Worry causes stress and anxiety and nobody enjoys those feelings. Our bodies and overall health certainly doesn't.

Imagine giving your worries to a dove (doesn't have to be a dove) and watching it fly into the sky. Send them to who/whatever you believe in (nature, higher being, ancestors, angels) and allow them to guide you and take away those worries. Try it it feels so good. Just for today, let go of worry 💕

I've spent a lovely weekend massaging at Upcott farm. It was nice to spend time with a wonderful group of women who have come together to enjoy a retreat at this beautiful North Devon location.
