When someone you trust disappoints you, it stings, no matter how much inner work you’ve done. Healing doesn’t mean you don’t feel the hurt; it means you allow yourself a moment to process. Pause. Breathe. Connect with the part of you that is hurting, and offer it compassion instead of judgment.

✨ Note to self: It’s okay to feel this. I don’t have to rush my healing.

When we’re stuck in fight or flight, our bodies tighten without us even noticing. 🌀
It’s only when we slow down—through practices like Tai Chi, Qi Gong, or even mindful breathing—that we realise how much we’ve been holding on.

✨ Ask yourself: What will happen if I let my guard down?

Speak to that part of you gently, as if it were someone else. Often, it’s a younger version of you—still waiting to feel safe. What does this part need right now? 💫

Pause. Listen. Wait for the answer.

That’s where the healing begins. 🌱

✍️ Write to heal.
Research by psychologist James Pennebaker shows that just 15 minutes of expressive writing a day can ease stress, boost immunity, improve sleep, and even strengthen memory.

Tips to start:
1️⃣ Pick a quiet space.
2️⃣ Write honestly—don’t worry about grammar.
3️⃣ Focus on feelings, not just events.
4️⃣ Do it for 3–4 days in a row.

Your words don’t have to be perfect—they just have to be yours.💛

The bluebells are done 🌿 This painting marks the end of one chapter and the start of another. 🍀

08/08/2025

Closing a meaningful chapter is always bittersweet—but also brings the excitement of new beginnings.

Over the past 1.5 years with , I’ve had the privilege of working alongside dedicated professionals to strengthen systems that protect children.

🌟 We trained 200+ facilitators through the Joint Positive Parenting Programme—drafted 5 manuals, and now the process of rolling it out, and the feedback from facilitators has been humbling.

🌟 The endorsement of the 5-Year National Action Plan to Prevent and Respond to Violence Against Children is a huge step forward—with an incredible team behind it.

Grateful for the opportunity, the people, and the purpose.

Working in trauma, safeguarding, and child protection is both deeply meaningful and emotionally demanding. We often think we’re immune to burnout—at least, I did. Until recently.

I experienced adrenal fatigue, and it took a full month to regain my energy. It was a wake-up call. One I couldn’t ignore. I now carve out rest daily—whether it’s a quiet moment, a walk, or proper time off. Because resilience isn’t just about pushing through, it’s also about knowing when to pause.

🧠💛 We can’t pour from an empty cup.

If you work in helping professions—social work, counselling, healthcare, education—take this as your reminder to look after you.

✨ Have you experienced burnout before? How do you prioritise rest?

22/07/2025

🌱 Looking forward to the next chapter of my life.
Life’s curveballs don’t mean we’re back at square one — they’re often the beginning of another phase of growth.

Healing is not linear, and sometimes the hardest moments are the ones that help us rediscover who we really are.

As Dr. Frank Anderson says:
“Trauma makes us who we aren’t. Overwhelming life events often force us to betray parts of ourselves to survive. Healing involves reconnecting to those parts and finally becoming our true authentic self again.”

Here’s to shedding the layers that no longer serve us and stepping into authenticity. 💫

📚 Holiday Read: Scattered Minds by Dr Gabor Maté

A powerful deep-dive into ADHD, attachment, and healing.
Chapter 24 really resonated—where Maté explores “counterwill” in teenagers. It’s not rebellion for the sake of it, but a natural push for autonomy when some attachment needs have been met.

Such a valuable reminder that what looks like defiance is often part of healthy development.

Perfect reading for some quiet reflection this holiday. 🌿

Your body speaks — are you listening?

In service-based professions like social work, counselling, nursing, or hospitality, we give so much of ourselves to others. But when we ignore the whispers of fatigue, stress, or emotional overload, our bodies scream back — through burnout, vicarious trauma, and chronic exhaustion.

💡 You can’t pour from an empty cup.
Give your body the time and space it needs to rest, heal, and replenish. Prioritising your well-being isn’t selfish — it’s essential. 🌿

🌱 Knowing When to Let Go 🌱

One of the toughest lessons in love is this: knowing when to walk away is just as important as knowing when to stay.

Even when there’s deep care, history, or hope — sometimes the connection no longer aligns with your peace, your growth, or your emotional capacity. And that’s okay.

Protecting your mental and emotional well-being doesn’t make you weak or disloyal. It means you’re honouring yourself. 💛

Letting go—gently, intentionally, and without bitterness—can create space. Space to heal. Space to breathe. Space for the love you truly deserve.

To anyone making the brave decision to choose themselves: I see you. You’re allowed to choose calm over chaos. You’re allowed to choose peace over proving your worth.

🕊️ You are allowed to choose you.

✨ One year ago — the 35th Annual Trauma Conference in Boston (2024) 🌍🧠
Still reflecting on the powerful insights, global perspectives, and the deep learning that came from being in a room full of trauma experts and practitioners.

💡 A standout moment for me was Dr. Jim Hopper’s talk on MDMA-assisted therapy — highlighting risks and challenges that are often left out of mainstream conversations. Thought-provoking and essential.

📚 And yes — I got The Body Keeps the Score signed by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk (see 2nd pic!) 🤩 A core text in trauma work and a special moment I’ll always remember.

✅ Bonus: We had to complete an online assessment to earn Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points and a certificate — a great way to consolidate the learning.

Counting down to 2026 already!

Therapeutic roots 🌱

While cleaning out my cupboard, I found my old workshop booklet from my Social Work degree at Curtin University (1995–1999). ✨

It took me right back to those early days—learning counselling skills, exploring therapeutic modalities, and doing practice sessions behind two-way mirrors. I still remember the impact of lecturers like the late Ronald Moffat and Julie Dickinson.

Those foundations continue to shape my work today, now expanded by trauma-informed approaches, Polyvagal Theory, somatic regulation, and complementary therapies.

It’s amazing how learning evolves—but the roots stay strong. 💬🧠💛
