They say "don't look back, you're not going that way" but sometimes I think it's important to see how far you've come ✨

It doesn't feel like 2 years ago I was looking for my first 'rent by the hour' healing space after so long seeing clients online only. I feel like I've always been doing this work, in a way I see threads of it throughout my life that came before the title of Healer.

What's something you look back on in amazement? Share your achievements in the comments!

"This November, a team will take on an extraordinary challenge: riding a spin bike for 24 hours straight – through the night – at the National Indoor Athletics Centre.

Why? Because too many people we know and love have struggled with their mental health. Some are still fighting. Some we’ve heartbreakingly lost. And we cannot sit still while others continue to suffer.

We are proud to be supporting Bigmoose Charity, an organisation dedicated to providing life-saving counselling and support for people in crisis. Their mission is simple but vital: to help prevent su***de and give people hope. Every pound raised goes directly to funding therapy sessions for those who desperately need them.

This challenge will test our limits of endurance, strength, and resilience – but no matter how hard it gets for us, it’s nothing compared to what someone struggling with their mental health faces each day.

💙 Our goal: to raise £10,000.
That’s £10,000 that can literally change – and save – lives.

We’re asking for your support. Whether it’s sponsoring our ride, sharing our campaign, or simply cheering us on – you’ll be helping to shine a light in the darkest of places.

Together, let’s Ride Through the Darkness."

Quote from CPTSD Foundation article. This reframing is so important.

ℹ️🌿 CPTSD: PSYCHIATRIC INJURY |

"A decade ago, I had a counselor refer to CPTSD as a “psychiatric injury” as opposed to a “mental illness”. Something about that delineation really helped me understand the reality of what was going on. It wasn’t “me” that was the problem, the problem was “what happened to me”.

CPTSD is rooted in shame, a feeling of being damaged beyond repair, social withdrawal, negative self-concept/perception, dysregulation of the nervous system, as well as affect dysregulation (Sherin& Nemeroff, 2011).

As such reduction of shame and introduction of skill-building that focuses on competency is beneficial for the client. Due to the dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system, it is also beneficial to find ways to bring balance to the nervous system."

I love rose essential oil, I find it excellent for migraine and headaches. My rose herbal tea is also a firm favourite at Enaid.

Here's some more info courtesy of Thefarmacyreal

Rose Essential Oil Benefits for mood and wellness:

❤️Reduces stress and anxiety: The calming floral aroma of rose oil can help alleviate feelings of stress and anxiety, creating a tranquil atmosphere. Some studies suggest that inhaling rose oil can promote relaxation by affecting the brain's limbic system, which controls emotions.

❤️Eases depression: Clinical studies have shown that rose oil may help improve symptoms of depression. For example, a 2012 pilot study on postpartum women found that aromatherapy with a blend of rose and lavender oil resulted in a significant improvement in both depression and anxiety scores.

❤️May relieve pain: A 2017 review noted that inhaling rose oil can help ease pain in some cases, such as reducing post-operative pain in children. However, more research is needed to confirm this benefit in humans.

❤️Stimulates libido: Some research suggests that inhaling rose oil can increase s*xual desire in both men and women, possibly due to the release of dopamine in the brain.

How to use rose essential oil:
❤️Important: Rose oil is highly concentrated and should always be diluted with a carrier oil, such as coconut or jojoba oil, before applying to the skin. Before using, perform a patch test on your inner elbow to check for any skin irritation or allergic reactions.

❤️Aromatherapy: Diffuse 2–3 drops in an essential oil diffuser to create a calming and uplifting atmosphere or apply to clothing.

❤️Skincare: Add one or two drops of rose oil to your daily moisturizer or serum. You can also mix it with a carrier oil to create a facial oil.

❤️Bath soak: Add 5–10 drops of rose oil to a teaspoon of carrier oil and then add it to warm bath water for a relaxing, hydrating soak.

❤️Massage: Combine 5 drops of rose oil with 2 tablespoons of a carrier oil for a soothing body massage.

❤️Haircare: Add a few drops to your shampoo or conditioner to moisturize and strengthen your hair.

In a brand new study, researchers found that women who wore rose essential oil on their clothing for just 30 days had significant increases in gray matter volume across the whole brain on MRI scans.

When the aromatic molecules of rose essential oil are inhaled, they travel through the olfactory system to the brain’s limbic system, which governs emotions and memories.

The posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) is particularly responsive to the rose scent. The researchers suggest that the sustained exposure of the PCC to the rose scent leads to continuous processing and memory storage related to the scent, leading to an increase in gray matter volume.

This process of sustained scent exposure also appears to engage and stimulate memory-related neural pathways, driving neuroplasticity and positive structural brain changes.

Increased gray matter is associated with enhanced cognitive function (memory, learning and executive functions), better emotional regulation, reduced stress and anxiety and improved overall mental health.

I’ve been in two minds if I should post this but I’ve decided to share an experience I had at the Vale Show a few weeks ago...

The irony was not lost on me that our pitch at The Vale Show was opposite the church tent.
A man from there stood and stared from me to my banner sign for a good hour. I knew what was coming next.
He strode over to me, Bible in hand. He said my sign listing healing and meditation were "big warning signs" to him. He asked to share a Bible passage with me.
Acts 16:16-18 which talks of a slave girl who had "the spirit of divination"
I told him I was familiar with it. I went to a Catholic school taught by nuns, I grew up Christian and I used to be a Sunday school teacher (that last part confused him greatly!)

He did his best to try and save me from hell. He wasn't aggressive as such but was very forceful.
I pointed out that Christians have "laying on of hands" as a form of healing but he argued that that was power from the "one and only true God Almighty" I told him my healing came from the divine too, the same source. I have never claimed to heal anyone, I'm just the vessel.
I also told him I believe Jesus existed and that he was a healer. He asked me who I thought Jesus was? Was he a man? Did I know he's not just a prophet? He tried to quote more Bible verses at me and I cut across and said "Jesus is love" (another thing that confused him as he couldn't disagree!)
I said that everything I do as a healer is grounded in love. My life's calling is to provide a safe space for those who have never had one.
I think he would have argued all day, determined to try and save me from hell. But I told him we had common ground, we both believe Jesus existed and that he is love. But beyond that, we would have to agree to disagree.
He admitted defeat and walked away and said "God bless you" and I said "you too" (the third thing that confused him!)
I didn't see him again for the rest of the day but there were always at least 3 men staring at me from their pitch all day.

I could have got angry, I could have told him to f**k off. But what would that have achieved? From his perspective I was going to hell and he wanted to do everything he could to save me. He thought he was acting out of love. He is unfortunately unable to fully understand who Jesus was and what he was all about.
If I'd have met Jesus today, we would have hung out eating donuts, drinking beer and talked about spirituality and philosophy.
Jesus hung out with s*x workers and people society shunned. I think we would have been good friends! I don't have a problem with God or Jesus. It's religion I object to. I have lived through religious trauma as a q***r woman growing up in a born again Christian Church. I was taught women are less than men and gay people would never be welcome. I was taught I had to spend my life asking for forgiveness just for being born. I have also seen countless clients with religious trauma on my sofa.
I think Jesus would object to how his words have been taken by men and twisted to condemn women, LGBTQ+ people and anyone who doesn't conform to their narrative. I think it would be a modern day parable of when he turned the tables in the temple.
Jesus didn't like religious scholars, he wasn't calling us to obey loads of rules (many of which have been mistranslated and misinterpreted over the years) He's asking us to be Christ-like. "Do to others as you would have them do to you"

There's a wonderful country song with the line "I've heard Jesus he drank wine and I bet we'd get along just fine. He can calm a storm and heal the blind and I bet he'd understand a heart like mine"
Despite what it may seem, I've never turned my back on the divine. It is woven into my life both personally and professionally. I've have however, turned my back on religion.
I wonder who was more Christ like in that moment? The religious man coming over uninvited telling me I was living a sinful life or the q***r witch who fought bigotry with love.

If you've experienced religious trauma, I'd highly recommend the book 'How to Be a Bad Christian and A Better Human Being' by my dear friend Dave Tomlinson. It will nourish your soul.
