Every Saturday I send a short email — a glimpse of my week, a practical way to regulate your nervous system, one gentle practice, and what’s new in my world.

It might be blackberries ripening in the garden, ghee bubbling on the stove, or my daughter dreaming about a road trip with the cats! Always something real, and always paired with a way to steady your nervous system.

It’s not a newsletter, it’s a little note from me — with a pause, a reflection, and a nudge towards calm.

𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴.

Not through words—but through tightness, overwhelm, overthinking, shutdown, restlessness.
Messages wrapped in sensation.
Wisdom disguised as discomfort.

The problem?
No one ever taught you how to understand the language.

That’s what we do together.

We start right where you are—anxious, exhausted, stuck, or just ready for more.

And we gently, somatically, begin the journey toward where you want to go.
Not by pushing or forcing—but by listening.
By decoding the signals.
By learning how to respond to your system in a way that brings safety, clarity, and choice.

You begin to recognise the moments you freeze—and know how to come back.
You interrupt the spirals.
You soften your inner voice.
You begin to trust yourself.

This isn’t surface-level change.

This is your nervous system re-learning what it feels like to be home.

And you don’t have to do it alone.

Rest is not a luxury—it’s part of the rhythm of life. Breathe, pause, and honour your own natural flow. 💛

The key isn’t to get rid of stress but to expand your capacity to navigate it. 🌊

✨ Small, consistent somatic practices help you build resilience. Try this:

Notice the support beneath you.
Breathe in gently through your nose.
Exhale slowly, sighing out loud if that feels good.
Repeat, feeling your body settle.

Little by little, your nervous system learns: I can handle this. 💛

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
You’re always on the move.
Physically, mentally, emotionally.
A million tabs open.
To-do lists half-ticked.
Even rest feels… productive.

You keep it together by keeping it moving.
Busy hands. Busy brain.
Because if you stop… what then?

There’s something under the surface you haven’t had time to name.
And maybe that’s the point.
You stay three steps ahead so nothing catches up.

It’s subtle, but exhausting.
That nervous, caffeinated energy.
The inability to just be.
The way your body tenses at the idea of slowing down—even for good things.

This isn’t poor time management. It’s not lack of discipline.
It’s a nervous system that’s learnt to survive by staying in motion.

Somatic coaching meets you there—without asking you to suddenly “relax.”
With NLP and hypnotherapy tools, we work with your pace.
We build safety within, so stillness no longer feels threatening.

Imagine this:
You take a slower route—and it doesn’t spike your stress.
You pause—and you feel present, not panicked.
You finally stop—and your body sighs with relief, not fear.

If you’ve been living in a blur of motion…
It might be time to land.

𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗪𝗶𝘀𝗱𝗼𝗺 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴
Shamanic traditions have long understood what neuroscience is now proving—our bodies, emotions, and spirits are deeply connected.

🌿 In journeying, we enter a dreamlike state where the mind quiets, and deep wisdom emerges. It’s a way of accessing the nervous system’s inner compass.

✨ Have you ever experienced shamanic journeying? Let me know below!

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗘𝗱𝗴𝗲
You say you’re “just a bit snappy lately.”
That it’s the kids, the emails, the traffic.
That your patience is thin. Your fuse, short.
But truthfully?
You’ve been living on the edge for a while now.

You can feel it.
In the clench of your jaw.
The way you brace for interruptions.
The way small things feel personal.

And you hate that feeling.
Because you’re not an angry person.
You’re trying so hard to stay calm, stay kind, stay nice.
But your nervous system is shouting through gritted teeth:
“I can’t hold this all anymore.”

This isn’t just “bad mood” territory.
It’s what happens when your body is stuck in defence mode,
still trying to protect you from pressure that’s become your normal.

Somatic coaching helps you step out of that chronic tension—without guilt, and without needing to numb or ignore it.
With NLP and hypnotherapy tools, we work with what your body is trying to say underneath the edge.
It’s not about “fixing” the reaction.
It’s about listening, so it doesn’t have to yell.

Imagine feeling steady again.
Still responsive, but no longer reactive.
You hear the noise, but it doesn’t pierce.
You’re in charge, not the heat in your chest.

You don’t have to keep living on the rattled edge.
Do you want to find your centre again...I can help.

Your nervous system listens to your thoughts. If you tell yourself:

💭 "I’m broken." → Your body tenses.
💭 "I’m doing my best." → Your body softens.

Try swapping self-criticism for self-kindness. It changes everything. 💛

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁.
Trees. Birds. Water. Nature is a co-regulator, grounding your nervous system without you needing to do anything. 🌿

Try this: Step outside, place your bare feet on the earth, and take three slow breaths. Notice the shift.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝘇𝗲𝗻 𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹
You finally sit down.
You could get an early night. Or open that book. Or have that bath.
But somehow… you’re just there.
Phone in hand. Screen glowing.
Scrolling.

Not because you’re fascinated.
Not because it’s fun.
You’re not even really taking anything in.
Just one more reel. One more swipe. One more minute.

Part of you knows it’s not helping.
But the alternative—feeling what’s under the surface—
that’s not easy either.

So you freeze. Not visibly. Not dramatically.
Just a subtle stall in the system.
A pause that never unpauses.
Mind half on. Body half off.

This isn’t laziness. It’s a nervous system doing its best to cope.
Caught between doing too much and not doing anything at all.

And it’s exhausting.

Somatic coaching helps you unfreeze gently—without force, shame or pressure.
With NLP and hypnotherapy woven in, we work not just with the mind, but with the body’s pace and rhythm.
You learn how to come back online—bit by bit—without overwhelm.

Imagine this:
You sit down. And instead of scrolling… you exhale.
You feel yourself land. You know what you need. And you can actually give it to yourself.

That’s regulation. That’s what we’re working toward.

Ready to come back to yourself?
I’m here when you are.

Not all struggle is visible. A frozen ocean looks still, but beneath the surface, movement continues—currents shifting, life waiting.

If you feel stuck or numb, know this: Your body is still working, still holding space for you.

Try this:
🌿 Put on some music and begin to sway in time with the beat.
🌳 Watch a tree sway and sway in time.

You are not broken. You are thawing. 💙
