The issue isn’t food. It’s what food is doing for you.

You know what I’ve noticed over the years, long before I ever worked with beliefs or the nervous system?

The people who are fit, healthy and at ease with food aren’t living in constant restriction.

They enjoy food.
They enjoy treats.
They just don’t need food to make them feel better.

And that’s the part that often gets misunderstood.

When someone says, “I couldn’t cut back, that would be depressing,” it’s not really about cake, takeaway or sugar.
It’s about what that food is doing emotionally.

That’s not a judgement.
It’s just information.

Because when food feels like comfort, relief or a reward you can’t imagine life without, it usually means something deeper is asking to be soothed.

What I see a lot is people who say they hate restriction, but are actually living in a constant state of it.

I’ll start Monday.
I shouldn’t have eaten that.
I need to be better this week.
I’ve been bad.

That internal push and pull puts the body under stress.
And stressed bodies crave comfort.

People who feel balanced from the inside out don’t need motivation or discipline around food.
They eat well because it feels good.
They enjoy treats because they enjoy them.
There’s no guilt, no rebellion, no emotional negotiation.

And the beautiful part is, this isn’t about willpower or “doing it right”.

It’s about safety.

When your nervous system feels supported, food stops needing to carry emotional weight.
You can enjoy it, without it being a coping strategy.
You can have cake, without it feeling like a battle or a fix.

If any of this has made you pause rather than feel defensive, that’s usually a sign of readiness.

Not to diet.
Not to restrict.
But to understand what your body has been leaning on.

And that’s where real change actually begins.

Did you notice how last year felt heavy, but not in an obvious way?

I’ve been reflecting on last year and this year, not in a what does it mean way, more in a why did so many people seem to feel tired, foggy or emotionally stretched at the same time way.

Last year didn’t fall apart for most people. Life carried on. But motivation dipped. Energy felt off. Old emotions resurfaced. Health niggles appeared with no clear explanation. A sense of being in limbo, even when everything looked fine on the surface.

Astrologically, Saturn and Neptune were both strongly active. You don’t need to follow astrology to recognise that kind of atmosphere.

Neptune dissolves and blurs. It brings uncertainty, emotional sensitivity and fatigue. Saturnw brings responsibility, pressure and realism. Together, they often create a feeling of holding things together while quietly realising that some parts of life aren’t sustainable anymore.

For many people, that looked like questioning routines, needing more rest, losing interest in things that once motivated them, and becoming more aware of stress and the nervous system.

Not breakdown. Integration.

This year feels different.

There’s still reflection, but there’s more clarity. Less fog. More I know what I can and can’t do now. Less forcing. More simplifying. Small but meaningful changes in daily life, health and priorities.

That Saturn Neptune energy doesn’t just disappear. It comes to a turning point around 20th February, when what’s been quietly processing starts to take shape. Not as a big event, but as a subtle shift from feeling to choosing.

For most people, that looks very ordinary. Adjusting routines. Protecting energy. Listening to the body. Letting go of what quietly exhausts them.

Nothing flashy.
Just clearer.

I don’t see this as a new you year. More a truer you year.
Not because anything was wrong.
But because something was changing.

Just a pattern I’ve been noticing.

🦋This wasn’t burnout. It was life-threatening.

Sometimes serious health crises don’t start with dramatic symptoms.
They start quietly, with things that are easy to dismiss.

When I was diagnosed with Graves’ disease, I was experiencing what’s known as a thyroid storm at the most 'severe levels', Dr said highest thyroid levels he had seen.

By the time it was identified, the early symptoms had been building for a long time.

🦋Extreme fatigue.
🦋Low mood.
🦋Feeling wired but exhausted.
🦋Struggling to cope with normal life.

What’s hard to explain is that my mood had dropped so low, I’d started to believe that how I felt was just who I was now. I’d almost stopped trying to feel better, which feels strange to say, because I’d always been health conscious and proactive.

Had it been left much longer, it could have been life threatening.

What I didn’t realise at the time was that although I was doing all the “right” physical things, eating well, exercising, staying active, I was ignoring what was happening emotionally and psychologically.

Exercise had always been part of my identity, so I kept pushing through the fatigue. But instead of supporting my body, I was adding more stress to a system that was already struggling, driving cortisol higher and asking too much of a body that needed something different.

This is why I’m so passionate about the work I do now.

🦋Not to diagnose.
🦋Not to cure.
🦋And never to replace medical care.

But to help people notice things earlier.
To help them understand when their body is under strain, even if blood tests are still “normal”.
And to support them in managing symptoms in a way that reduces the risk of things escalating.

Sometimes physical symptoms are amplified by worry, unprocessed stress, grief, or the pressure to keep going when life has changed. If those layers are recognised early enough, with the right support, it can change how the body copes.

🙋‍♀️Had I have Allowed myself to receive more support when I first felt low, stuck, and overwhelmed after grief, my body may not have carried so much internal stress for so long.

My work now is about helping people listen sooner.
To understand what can be adjusted in lifestyle, stress load, emotional coping and self care.
And to support people in living more comfortably and steadily, whatever their current reality is, providing they are ready to recieve support and take action where needed.

Because forcing a struggling body to keep up is not the same as supporting it.

🦋If this resonates, please consider sharing.

🦋It may help someone recognise what they’ve been dismissing.

🦋And if this kind of awareness feels helpful, you’re welcome to follow along here.

There’s a kind of tiredness that rest alone doesn’t touch.

Stress isn’t the problem.
Never releasing it is.

I often explain the nervous system like a balloon.
Every worry, responsibility, loss, conflict or life event adds more air.
And most of us just keep topping it up, without ever letting any out.

At first, you cope.
Then small things feel big.
You’re more emotional, more reactive, more exhausted.
You start wondering why you feel like you’re failing, even though you’re trying.

That’s not weakness.
That’s a nervous system that hasn’t had space to release.

Breathwork isn’t about fixing your life or forcing calm.
It’s about giving your body permission to let go of what it’s been holding.

In my one to one breathwork sessions, we work directly with the body using a conscious connected breath that helps the nervous system come out of survival mode and return to regulation.

You don’t need to explain your whole story.
You don’t need the right words.
You don’t need to analyse why you feel the way you feel.

You might simply notice you feel overwhelmed, stuck, tense or emotionally full.
That is more than enough.

The breath does the work.
Your body processes and releases in its own time, without digging or reliving anything.

My role is to support your system through that release in a way that feels safe, grounded and respectful, especially if emotional work usually feels hard or overwhelming.

Sessions are delivered online, from the comfort of your own home, and you remain in control the whole time.

Breathwork can be booked as a standalone session.
If you’re looking for deeper or ongoing support, we can explore that gently too.

If this resonates, you’ll find the details in my bio.
No pressure. No rush. Just an option if your body’s been asking for some space. 💛

Not the “busy week” tired… the kind that makes you pause and listen.

I saw the doctor yesterday to talk through having some blood tests because I’ve been feeling that heavy kind of tired lately.
Not the “busy week” tired… the kind that makes you pause and listen.

If you’ve ever had Graves’ disease or thyroid issues or any kind of Chronic health issue, you'll understand why I don’t just brush that off.

When he looked back through my notes from when I was first diagnosed, he actually said,
“Gosh… your Thyroid levels back then were very high - the highest I’ve ever seen. You’ve done really well to get to where you are now.”

That was reassuring to hear. And it also completely validated why I wanted to get things checked - not from fear, but from awareness.

Honestly, I do believe this tiredness is most likely stress-related.
We’ve had the flood from the burst pipe, disruption at home, waiting on builders, insurance stuff, Christmas on top of it all… it’s been a lot.
And stress has a habit of showing up after everything slows down.

At the same time, I’m very aware of how stress affects the body - especially when you’ve had autoimmune or thyroid issues in the past.

I manage my stress well.
But I’m also respectful enough to know that managing stress doesn’t mean ignoring symptoms or assuming nothing could ever happen again.

I’m not overthinking it.
I don’t believe it’s anything major, especially given the timing.
But I’m also not arrogant enough to think, “I’m doing all the right things, so nothing can touch me.”

For me, it’s about balance.

Listening to my body and checking in medically.
Trusting my awareness and being sensible.
Knowing when to rest, when to get reassurance, and when to adjust if needed.

Wellbeing isn’t about believing nothing will ever go wrong.
It’s about giving yourself solid foundations so you cope better when life does what life does.

No drama.
No fear.
Just awareness and self-respect. 💛

Have you ever shared a little win with someone and suddenly the whole conversation turns into a quiet competition

You say
I have finally signed up for that course
or
I have decided to try this new thing

And instead of
Amazing, I am so happy for you

You get
Oh yeah, I did that last year
I have already done that
I was going to do that too

All of a sudden it is not a moment of sharing
It is a scoreboard.

The thing is
most of the time they are not trying to be awful.
Their nervous system has just heard something completely different.

You said
Here is something I am proud of.

Their wound heard
She is ahead of you
She is better than you
You are behind

And because feeling not good enough is so painful
the body rushes to protect itself with
I have done that
I did it first
I have done more

I know this pattern because I have done it too.
I have felt that little sting in my chest when someone shares a success
and my brain quietly scrambles for something to say back that proves
I am not behind
I am not less

This is not about shaming anyone.
It is about understanding that when a simple conversation turns into comparison
it is usually an old story speaking
not the current moment.

Next time you notice yourself

explaining why you already did the thing
minimising someone else’s win
or shrinking your own news in case it upsets people

try pausing and asking

What did this touch in me
Did I feel less than
Did I feel behind

You do not have to fix it all in that moment.
Just noticing it is already powerful.

Because under the urge to one up
there is usually a part of you that simply wants to know
You are enough
even if someone else is shining too 🤍

Ever noticed how the exact same advice can land like support for one person and like an attack for another

Two people hear the same words.

One hears it and their body feels
Thank you, that could really help me.

The other hears it and their body reacts
tight chest
hot face
here we go again
They feel
You are saying I am wrong
You are saying I am not good enough
You are saying I have messed this up

The words are the same.
The nervous system response is not.

Our brains are wired to protect our sense of self.
When feedback bumps up against old experiences of criticism, shame or being constantly judged, the threat system in the brain lights up.
It does not hear
Here is another option.
It hears
You are the problem.

So we defend.
We argue.
We shut down.
We ignore the advice and do it our way anyway.

Years later we can still be stuck with the same result
the same diet
the same money struggles
the same life patterns
even though people have gently offered another way.

And just to be clear
sometimes people really are shaming or controlling with their opinions.
That needs a boundary.

But not all challenge or judgment is cruel.

If you had a child eating things that were harming their health or doing something dangerous, staying silent and never judging would not be loving.
You would step in.
You would say
This is not safe.
Let us try it this way instead.

That is still a form of judgment.
But it is protective.
It is caring.

The same is true for us as adults.
Sometimes the most supportive people in our life are the ones willing to say
I love you and I do not think this path is working for you.

If every bit of guidance feels like a personal attack, it might be worth gently asking

Is this person trying to shame me
or are they trying to save me time, pain or another round of the same struggle

You do not have to take every piece of advice.
But you are allowed to notice when your reaction is louder than the words and get curious about what that is really touching inside you 🤍

12/01/2026

You are allowed to do the inner work
without becoming a certain type of spiritual person

For a long time it looked like there were only two options

Be the woman who flies to retreats
wears floaty dresses
dances under the moon
talks about the universe on every post

or

Be the practical one
doing school runs
working a very normal job
drinking coffee
rolling your eyes at anything that feels too woo

The truth is
both of these women belong in this kind of space

There is nothing wrong with crystals, cacao, circles and moon dancing
There is nothing wrong with zero interest in any of that either

What matters to me is not how you dress or what you post
It is what your nervous system is carrying
and whether you feel safe enough to be honest about it

In my world

You can come in floaty dresses or gym leggings
You can call it spiritual growth or just wanting to feel calmer and more yourself
You can love the rituals or skip them completely

I am not here to judge you for being too much of anything
too spiritual
too sceptical
too emotional
too logical

I am here to understand your patterns
your stress
your story
and to see whether what I offer is the right support for you

If you have ever felt too normal for spiritual spaces
or too sensitive for purely practical ones

You are exactly the person I had in mind when I created this work 🤍

If decluttering was just about throwing things out, your house would probably be clear by now

So if you keep trying to “have a sort out”
and end up sitting on the floor
surrounded by piles
feeling stressed, stuck or close to tears
there is nothing wrong with you

It is not laziness.
It is not you being useless.

It is your nervous system saying
There is more going on here than a bag for the charity shop

We do not start with the stuff.
We start with what the stuff means.

Clothes that no longer fit
but remind you of a version of you that once felt lighter

Papers from an old job
that still carry a sense of failure or not being valued

Gifts from people you loved
or people who hurt you
that now feel like emotional landmines in your own home

Objects become anchors
To memories
Identities
Old versions of you
Hopes you once had

So when you stand in a cluttered room your body is not just seeing “too much stuff”
It is feeling loss
guilt
pressure
and a hundred tiny unfinished stories

No wonder you end up scrolling instead of sorting

This is why some people can blitz a room in an hour
and others feel their chest tighten just opening a drawer

If this is you
try offering yourself a different starting point

One small area
One gentle decision
One honest question

What does this item bring up in me
Does it support the life I am living now
or keep me anchored to a version of me that is ready to be released

You do not have to clear a whole house in a weekend
You are allowed to go slowly
to regulate as you go
and to admit that sometimes it is not about cupboards at all

Sometimes it is about finally letting your inner world catch up with your outer space 🤍

If I am not the right person for everyone
who am I actually the right person for

You are usually the quiet one.
The strong one.
The one who copes.

On paper your life looks fine
but inside your body feels tired
your emotions feel closer to the surface
and you are starting to realise
this is not just going to sort itself out.

You do not want fluffy advice.
You do not want to trauma dump to a stranger on the internet either.

You want someone who
will listen without shaming you
will help you make sense of your patterns
and will be honest if they are not the right person to go deeper with you.

This is how I work.

We start with a one hour taster session.
No pressure to commit to a full package.
No pretending everything is fine if it does not feel fine.

In that time we explore
what is really going on for you
how your nervous system is coping
and what kind of support would actually feel safe and useful.

Sometimes that means we both feel a clear yes to working together.
Sometimes it means I gently suggest a different kind of support
because your needs sit outside my lane.

Both outcomes are a win for me
because my priority is that you get the right support
not that you become my client at even more cost than may have already been exchanged.

If you are a quiet watcher who has been wondering whether to reach out
this is your reminder that you are allowed to ask questions
you are allowed to take your time
and you are allowed to choose someone who feels like a good fit for your whole self
not just your symptoms. 🤍

WHY YOU REACT OUT OF NOWHERE🤷‍♀️

People think humans are complicated
but honestly our brains are not doing anything that animals are not doing too
We are all just walking nervous systems trying to feel safe

Let me explain this in a way that actually makes sense

Researchers studying rhesus monkeys found that when the mother experienced stress or trauma during pregnancy
the babies were born more sensitive to stress too
They reacted quicker
their little bodies went into “alert mode” faster
even though they had never lived the original experience
Their nervous system had learned the world might not be safe
before they were even born
This comes from research on prenatal stress in non human primates
so it is proper science
not guesswork

The same idea shows up in Pavlov’s dog studies
Ring a bell
give the dog food
repeat it
and eventually the dog reacts to the bell
even with no food in sight
The body responds to the association
not the moment

Humans do the same
We react to what our body remembers
not always to what is in front of us

This is why adults
children
and even the calmest pets can suddenly snap
panic
shut down
or react over something that looked tiny
You think
What on earth set that off
But something did
A micro trigger
A tone
A noise
A facial expression
A shift in energy
Something that touched an old pattern in the nervous system
even if the mind did not notice it

Most reactions are not conscious
They are protective
automatic
and rooted in old learning

So when you shut down
freeze
snap
panic
or suddenly feel overwhelmed
it is not because you are dramatic
unstable
or overthinking
It is because your nervous system thinks it is keeping you safe
just like any animal would

You are not broken
You are patterned
And patterns can be changed

Your nervous system can learn safety
You can respond from the present
not the past
Your body can relearn what danger actually is
and what is just an old echo

This is the work I help people with
so you can feel steadier
safer
and more in control of yourself again

If you want to understand your reactions instead of fighting them
my messages are open
You do not need to carry old alarms forever
