I’ve quite a bit planned for this month, with a sound bath at Solstice and the return of one-to-one appointments towards the end of the month.

If you’d like to book in, so get in touch! ❤️

Picking wild rose petals in the glorious sun. Rose petal lemonade is such a treat at this time of year!

Also picked elderflower for cordial (and to flavour homemade kombucha).

Next forage will be for rose for a tincture (some to blend with the hawthorn) and elderflower to dry for use later in the year in teas. ❤️

On a side note, the workshop/sound bath tomorrow is sold out. 😍

Hawthorn tincture in the sun at some point I’ll blend some with rose for a nurturing, heart-supporting blend. 🌸

I’m loving spending time down at the woods and connecting with the plants that grow there. I’m excited to be making more infused (macerated) oils, tisanes (teas) and tinctures from the space as the year goes on. 🌿

Working from the woods finally gives me the opportunity to do something I’ve always dreamed of in my practice as a complementary therapist.

From the very early days, years ago, I wanted to be able to work from a location where I was surrounded by nature. As an energy-worker with an interest in shamanic practice, it’s important for me to truly connect with the space that I will be working from, honouring the land around me.

After a rather longer sabbatical than I had initially planned, I’m opening up my books again for one-on-one appointments next month.

Finally I’m able to offer you a chance to share in my joy and experience this wonderfully nurturing blend of therapies and location for yourself! ❤️

🌙 Why do things feel worse at night?

When the day gets quiet,
distractions fade - and your mind finally has space to think.

That’s often when overthinking,
anxiety,
or low mood feel louder.

It doesn’t mean things are worse - it just means your brain is no longer distracted.

💛 Therapy can help you understand these patterns and calm the cycle.
