LOOK AT MY BEAUTIFUL BRANDING! ✨

Honestly, I’m a little bit in love. 😍
The designer summed up the logo as 'an infinite feedback loop of love'. ❤️

Everything feels clearer, and even more me.

It’s like all the bits of my world - wellness, coaching, acumassage, writing, training - have finally landed in the same place.

In a way that really works.

If you’ve been here for a while, you’ll know this has been quite the journey!
And seeing it all come together across all the platforms (Facebook, Insta, Substack, LinkedIn… even YouTube!) just makes my heart do a happy dance. 🫶

Change can be messy. But oh, when it clicks, it sings. 🎶

My writing retreat was perfect. 🪶✨

A beautiful little cabin tucked deep in the Forest of Dean, secluded, quiet, and just what I needed to get my head down and pour my heart onto the pages.

I love retreats anyway, but this one felt extra special.
It wasn’t exactly “relaxing” (I was writing non-stop!), but it felt treating.

I took a few photos so you can see how gorgeous it was…
And yes, there are a couple of me in there too 😉

📸 (Spoiler: they’re actually stills from little videos I took while writing, because apparently I can’t not document the final moments!)

P.S. My lovely boyfriend Rob owns the cabin (you might recognise some of his artwork), and he popped by for dinner in the evenings, which was just perfect. 🥰

If you’re craving some time away, a place to retreat, write, or just breathe for a few days… drop me a message.
I’ll happily pass along Rob’s details so you can find your own forest hideaway. 🌲

My new website and branding are NOW LIVE!

Cor... it's been quite the process. 😬

It started with me feeling that I'd lost clarity around what my goals were, and that all the threads of what I do had become a little separated and fragmented.

So with the help of my retained team, and my wider support groups, I took A LOT of time 'getting real' about who I am and where I'm headed.

The graphics and background designs thanks to Andy at Squiff Creative Media. The website thanks to Coby at Ambrotech. The photos thanks to my lovely boyfriend Rob. And incredible levels of background support and cheerleading from my amazing marketing assistant Yvette.

Thank you to all of them. 🙏
And thank you to all of you.
For following me and being part of my journey. 🫶
I'm so grateful.

I'd LOVE you to check out my new website, and let me know what you think.
AND the new branding on my social channels.

No DOUBT it will shift and change and evolve. But for now I'm chuffed to bits. And happy to feel back in alignment with who I really am, and where I'm really headed.

Next goal? Get the book published!!! 💪✨️😁 Whoop whoop!

I'm off on retreat today... to a GORGEOUS little Cabin. But this isn't just ANY retreat... it's the retreat where I finish my book!!!

I had 10 copies printed back in August and gave them out to a mix of people... some well versed in Traditional Chinese Medicine (as that's what the book is about...), some practitioners of other modalities (e.g. Bowen / Reflexology / Qi Gong), and others with no background in bodywork nor even Health & Wellness.

I've had 8 lots of feedback - varying from quick summaries of how they found it, to a detailed page by page analysis from the perspective of a best selling author friend of mine.

I'm really looking forward to getting to the Cabin, to turning off my phone, and 'cracking on' for 3 days... with a view to emerging with the finished article... ready to send to publishers. Ta da!!

It's all go!! And I've also been quietly updating and revising my branding in the background. Getting my digital footprint aligned with my next steps and plans...

So watch this space as things are changing, and I'm really chuffed with my new direction. And can't wait to be an internationally best selling author myself!

Just got to finish the book now and then starts the mission to find us a publisher!!!

If you know me by now, you know Autumn is my absolute favourite season.
The air gets crisper, the light gets softer, and the forest starts doing that golden, glowy thing that makes me want to dance barefoot under the trees. ✨

This week's walks were some of those where every step felt like it was energetic. The leaves whispering, the light sparkling, and that unmistakable smell of change in the air.

Autumn always feels like permission to exhale.
To let go. To come home to yourself.
To pause in the middle of the chaos and say, “Right, this is where I am. This is what matters.”

Dukie was, of course, in his element, nose in the ferns, tail wagging like a metronome of joy. 🐾

And me? Just another soul walking through the woods, collecting moments like treasures and spotting the different mushrooms.
Something about this time of year reminds me…
You don’t have to force growth. Sometimes you just have to let things fall, and trust what stays. 🍂

Expect more walks, more wild joy, and more muddy boots.
Because I think this season has a little magic left for all of us. 🧡

One of the jobs I’ve often day-dreamed about is being a Forest of Dean tour guide!
And here’s a little video of me reading out a poem inscribed on timber as part of the Forest of Dean Sculpture trail.

It was written by the enslaved Black workers, brought to the Forest of Dean to mine, and fell timber. 😢

I love bumping into visitors to the area and explaining the history, of this poem and other things, because truthfully the signage isn’t that great, and most people don’t have a clue what this poem is about.
Even once they’ve read it.

BUT once you know who wrote it… it starts to make more sense…
Many enslaved Black workers lost their lives, and this poem tells of how their hearts broke for the Forest they were forced to pillage too.

So here’s me. Reading the poem. I hope it resonates with you. 🙏
The history of the Forest of Dean, and the history of humankind, is fascinating. There are many things we’ve forgotten, or don’t realise about ‘the way things were’.
I love learning about it all, and then sharing it with others.

And whilst I don’t think being a Forest of Dean tour guide would pay the bills… 😂
I’m still sharing the things I’ve learnt about our history in my talks and training as part of my View from a Dove corporate training business… Both in the arenas of Health and Wellness and Diversity, Equality and Inclusion. And I LOVE doing it!

In the meantime, if anyone knows any A List Celebrities, or High Powered CEOs, coming to the Forest of Dean who’d like a personal tour guide… I’d definitely consider it lol! For the right price 😉

Let me know what you think of the poem in the comments. I’d love to hear how it lands with you.

I do LOTS of things... but THIS is my favourite. Mum Taxi! 🚕 WHY???

For a start it means my kids have places to go, and people to be with. Which I love. 😍

Parenting is a bit like a lottery... you never know what you're going to get! Nor how you're going to be with it when you do. !

I couldn't be happier with my fun-loving teenage boys. Seeing them having fun (and having fun with them) makes my heart smile wide. 😁❤️

They both have *gorgeous* girlfriends (outside and in), and lots of mates, and I love nothing more than a house full of them!!!

Whilst no doubt verging on embarrassing (in my heart shaped rose tinted glasses no less lol!), they are all SUPER kind and accepting of me, and my idiosyncrasies.

(The World could learn a LOT from these kids... 🌏)

It's a privilege and an honour to be trusted with knowing what they're all up to, and to being one of the first they call when the proverbial hits, AND the one they include in their antics!

This Summer I escorted 12 teens to a DnB festival, stayed with them, and (gently) ensured that they (/we!) ALL had epic amounts of fun! 🤘✨️😁

So whilst I'm reviewing just what exactly I do, and don't do, anymore...

(More on that soon with a MASSIVE rebrand coming... Watch This Space!)...

One thing I'll definitely still be prioritising, is being available for my boys - whenever they need me, and wherever they want to go.

What jobs mean the most to you?? And are they always the paid ones?

*One of my Absolute Favourite Spots*- a tiny patch of moss on the edge of an old pre-fabricated channel. (I do love a bit of industrial heritage in the Forest of Dean).

The way the water runs over it? Pure diamonds. Twinkling light, hypnotic sound… I could happily sit here for an hour just staring at moss and it’s different in every season. Loving the added beauty the autumn leaves bring to this scene.

Sadly Dukie never lets me sit still that long 🤣 but one of these days, I’ll sneak back without him and finally do it.

When did you last stare at moss? 🌿

A week of walks… back home in the magical Forest of Dean.

I love going away, but I also love coming home. I live in such a beautiful place, moss, puddle mirrors, leaf confetti, soft light… and I’m out in the woods 2 or 3 times a day, so I see so many lovely things!!! Lucky me. 😁✨🌳

Photos from the walks since I got back from the retreat, tiny moments, big calm. 🌿

Ahhhh… my Autumn Equinox Retreat weekend with the most delightful people! 💕

It was truly lovely, and together we really did “Return to Stillness.” 🫶

Here are a few photos (yes, I actually remembered to take some this time!) plus a couple shared by my wonderful guests. 🥰

The whole weekend was peaceful, relaxing, and full of perfectly-timed “ish” moments… 😁✨🤣

For several of my guests, it was their very first retreat, and every single one said it was just what they needed:

✨ “I’m so, so glad I came. Can’t thank you enough for your hosting, the food was delicious, the treatment was incredible, the whole thing was awesome, you ⭐️. Thank you 🙏”
✨ “I just wanted to say thank you so much for this weekend, it has been absolutely magical and exactly what I needed!”
✨ “There are so many things I’ll be taking away from this weekend. Thank you for nudging me back towards a regular meditation practice, it’s really needed right now!”
✨ “Thank you for sorting out my neck. This morning was the first time in ages I woke up without a sore neck and jaw!”

I absolutely love running retreats. 🫂✨🤗 They’re hard work behind the scenes, but it’s such a joy to care for others, especially those who spend so much of their lives caring for everyone else, and remind them just how vital self-care really is.

Speaking of which… it’s time for me to take my own advice and carve out a little space for myself. 💕

Happy (slightly belated) Autumn Equinox to you and yours. 🍁✨🫶
May you find balance in your days, and the time to pause and note the things you’re grateful for.
