Business cards have arrived 🤍

The holidays can be beautiful, but they can also feel overwhelming. 🎄✨
Amid the busyness, it’s easy to forget yourself. Your daily practices are important. Whether it’s a moment to breathe, a cup of tea in quiet, or simply checking in with your body. They are what keep you steady, grounded, and soft in the midst of the chaos.
This season, give yourself permission to keep your anchor close. You don’t need to do it all; you just need to come back to yourself, again and again. 💛

There’s a piece of writing by Jan‑Willem van der Heiden that speaks so beautifully about the experience of being deeply held in therapy; Not fixed, not directed, not reshaped… simply held as a whole human being.
What touched me most is the way he describes being seen in all the places he once hid - the grief beneath the anger, the shame carried from childhood, the parts of himself he thought were “too much,” “too messy,” or “too broken.”
And how, in the presence of someone steady and compassionate, those parts slowly found room to breathe.
It’s a reminder of something quietly powerful:
Therapy isn’t about advice.
It isn’t about being impressive.
It isn’t about arriving with everything together.
It’s about having a space where the storm is allowed to be a storm.
A space where someone won’t flinch at the parts you’ve learned to hide.
A space where your truth, your grief, your becoming can unfold at its own pace.
So many people worry about being “too emotional,” “too lost,” or “too much” in the therapy room.
But often it’s in those very moments - the ones we’re most afraid to show - that healing begins.
Not because someone gives an answer, but because someone stays.
There is something profoundly human about being witnessed with gentleness.
Something that softens shame, loosens old stories, and reminds us:
you don’t have to hold everything alone.

Sometimes your light feels soft, tucked away, or just quiet.
And that’s ok.
Even in rest, even in pause, it’s still there.
It’s in the gentle ways you care for yourself, in the small acts of kindness you offer, and in simply being here.
Your light doesn’t have to do anything to be enough.. it already is 🤍

🖼️ Journal Prompt:
What would it feel like to rest without guilt?
💬 Message:
Rest doesn’t mean you’re avoiding. It means you’re tending. You don’t need to earn it. You just need it, and that’s enough.

Maybe you’ve been wondering if it’s really ok to talk about what you’re going through.
Is it okay to feel like this?
Why does everything feel so hard?
What if people judge me?
Is something wrong with me?
Can anyone actually help?
When the critical parts of us get loud, it can feel easier to just put the mask on…
To smile, perform, hold it all together - even when everything inside feels messy or heavy.
But what if you didn’t have to?
What if there was space to show up exactly as you are - without needing to explain, fix, or justify it?
You’re allowed to feel.
You’re allowed to be uncertain.
You’re allowed to ask for support.
Sometimes, just being seen in your truth is where healing begins.
You don’t have to carry it all alone.

If this resonates, know you’re welcome here. Whether you’re curious about counselling, Reiki, or simply need a soft place to land.

Counselling is often seen as “just talking.” Reiki is sometimes misunderstood as “woo woo.”
In reality, they both meet you where you are - just in different ways.
Counselling helps you make sense of your thoughts, feelings, and patterns.
Reiki helps your body and nervous system shift from survival mode into a place of deep rest and balance.
Together, they support all of you.
Some clients want one or the other.
Some choose both.
Either way, the aim is the same: a grounded, compassionate space where your whole self is welcome.
