Today I am enjoying the energy that I was attuned to last night in the Masters Rose 🌹 Energy Healing Course held by Gemma Elizabeth Williams.

Combining the energies of Mother Mary, Lady Nada & Mary Magdalene. 3 Powerful Energies of love, nurture, forgiveness, compassion & strength. An amazing time to be attuned in this energy when we have entered the Lionsgate portal.

I have trained in their individual energies with the white, pink & red roses & for many of my clients these energies have been present when needed & provided great comfort and empowerment.

How they appear - that’s up to each client. For me - I feel their energy through my body and my words.

I am currently enjoying 21 days of bathing in their energy & can offer sessions and attunements after this time.

Celebrating this connection & my growth & further enhancement of what I offer myself & my clients.

With love ❤️ to you all

This brave young person Evie speaking openly about the her Dad’s su***de and its impact. A shining light 🌟 sharing her experience, emotions and vulnerability.

By doing this she is letting others know the importance of sharing your feelings & normalising it. Thank you Evie.

In the interview her Mum talks about great advice she received - honesty. Her Mum admits how brutal that felt at times.

We teach parents about honesty & the importance of it with their children in our parent child connection course. Parents often want to protect their children or feel they are over burdening them with “adult feelings.” Children pick up intuitively when something is off. We explore how to share with your child, getting the balance of what to share & when so the child trusts their intuition, themselves & the parent.

As Evie says there are so many complex feelings with grief through su***de. Their family received support from the wonderful charity Winston’s Wish. Support is key when grieving.

I have been offering grief counselling for over 7 years now & help clients to understand themselves & reorientate themselves in the world after loss.

If you would like to connect about grief support I offer a free 20 minute introductory call. Getting grief counselling was the best thing I ever did as it literally changed my life. I ended up retraining & offering that support to others.

Take that first step - send that email.

Some adoptees love that they’re adopted.
They feel safe. Happy. Loved.
They’ve found healing in the family that raised them.
They’ve built something beautiful out of the broken.
They carry joy with them. Real, deep joy.

And some adoptees hate it.
They feel lost. Disconnected.
Betrayed by the story they were handed.
Haunted by what they’ll never fully know.
Their pain runs deep, and it doesn’t always soften over time.

And some adoptees will say they don’t carry trauma at all.
No ache. No fracture.
Only love for the family that raised them.
And that story matters too.
Not every adoptee feels broken.
Not every adoptee lives in grief.
Some just feel home.
And we need to honor that truth with the same respect.

And you know what?

Both are valid.
Both are real.
Both deserve to be heard without correction.

Because adoption doesn’t come with a script.
It comes with rupture.
With identity that splits before it heals.
With questions that don’t always have answers.
With birthdays that feel more like losses than celebrations.
With names they didn’t choose.
With histories they may never get back.
And yes, sometimes with new beginnings that feel like redemption.

So stop telling adoptees how they should feel.
Stop demanding a silver lining for a story they’re still trying to survive or understand.

Telling someone to be grateful for their adoption
is like telling someone to thank the fire that burned their house down
because they like the new one better.
No.
That’s not how healing works.

You can love your adoptive family
and still grieve the one you lost.
You can feel safe here
and still wonder what life would’ve been like there.
You can feel joy and sorrow, pride and pain,
all tangled together, and it’s all allowed.

You can love being adopted
and still carry questions you’ll never be able to answer.
You can feel at peace
and still recognize that it came at a cost.

Because adoption isn’t one story.
It’s millions of stories, all layered and lived differently.

If that tension makes you uncomfortable, good.
Because this isn’t about your comfort.
It’s about their truth.

My kids don’t owe me gratitude for loving them.
They didn’t ask for this path.
They didn’t get a vote.
They didn’t lose everything so I could feel like a savior.

So let’s get this straight.
Adoption is not a fairytale.
It’s not a second-best made beautiful.
It’s not a cause to rally around without understanding the cost.

It is sacred, yes.
But sacred doesn’t mean simple.
It means holding space for both joy and grief.
It means you walk through the fire and still choose love
even when it hurts.
Especially when it hurts.

And to every adoptee who has been silenced
shamed or smothered by someone else’s expectations
I want you to know:

You don’t have to be grateful.
You don’t have to pretend.
You don’t have to hide your feelings of happiness.
You don’t owe anyone a performance.
You get to feel all of it.

You get to tell the truth.
Whatever it is.
Joy. Anger. Peace. Sadness. Hope. Love. All of it.

And we, the parents, the caregivers, the world
we need to learn how to listen.

I was invited to join in this protest today and I was honoured to join fellow adoptees and women forced to give up their children for adoption. It’s so important to be seen and heard. Having to ask for an apology and the wrong doing and the impact of that wrong doing to be acknowledged. What happened was not ok, is not ok. The impact of this trauma is real and documented with su***de rates 4 times more likely in adoptees. I was so glad to have my beautiful friend Kate Bly accompany me & look after me today. It was very emotional and I was glad of her hugs and nurturing.

🙋🏻‍♀️Your needs - do you know what they are & are you meeting them ?

In my Supervision yesterday my Supervisor shared this diagram by Human Givens illustrating the needs of humans.

Looking at them - which one or ones jump out for you and why?

Can you identify areas that are doing well or feel abundant or plentiful in your life and others that have been neglected and are depleted or less full?

Last week was National Loneliness Awareness Week & as you can see we all need connection and a sense of belonging and community. Loneliness is one of the biggest killers in the UK - how can this be when there are so many of us?

Something may be getting in your way of connecting with others or your community or you may be surrounded by people but still feel lonely. These are things that I can help you with.

One of the main powerful elements of my work is the connection & relationship with my clients and myself. I create safety and guidance and often lead them back to their sense of self, their purpose, their meaning while celebrating their achievements along the way.

If you would like help or know anyone who would then please get in touch.

🥳Celebrating Success: A Deeper Kind of Brave

Celebrating my own success hasn’t always come easy. For a long time, attention on me felt uncomfortable — like I didn’t quite belong in the spotlight.

Beneath that was a fear of letting myself or others down. A fear rooted in old stories: working hard and getting average results, feeling not enough, feeling stupid. Competition became something I avoided — not because I didn’t want to win, but because of what I feared it meant if I didn’t.

Recently, I did something incredibly brave: I told my fellow trainees in EFT when I’d be sitting my exam for accreditation. That might sound simple, but for me, it was a huge. They all understood and supported me. All these old fears started to come up and needed some attention with EFT.

You see, through my inner work, I’ve uncovered a powerful truth: as a newborn, placed for adoption, my subconscious registered that being chosen was about survival. I wasn’t just trying to succeed — I was wired to believe I had to win to be safe. No wonder competition made me feel panicky.

So you see I have treated it as though it’s survival not a sign of my thriving. So it’s always been the attitude of grand job, head down and crack on, nothing to take any notice of here - not worthy of that.

I share this to honour the layers I’ve worked through and am still uncovering and to honour my growth and achievement because we need to celebrate ourselves as an act of self respect and love.

Letting others in, allowing myself to be seen, and celebrating my growth isn’t big-headed. It’s healing. It’s brave. It’s necessary.

If you’re afraid of being seen or celebrated, I see you. You’re not alone — and your journey matters too.

🌟 For those of you feeling lots today on Father’s Day… 🌟

I see you. I’m thinking of you. And I want to hold space for you today.

Father’s Day can bring up a lot—joy, grief, longing, confusion, frustration, love, and everything in between. If you're feeling tender, triggered, overwhelmed, or just off… you’re not alone.

💔 Maybe your Dad has passed away or you’re grieving a complicated relationship.
💔 Maybe you never knew your Dad or wish you had a different experience.
💔 Maybe you're longing to become a Dad yourself.
💔 Maybe you're a Dad missing your child, or a child missing your Dad.
💔 Maybe illness or distance or life circumstances are keeping you apart.
💔 Maybe you’re a Dad who wishes your relationship with your kids looked different.
💔 Or maybe you’re just not quite sure what you're feeling—numb, irritable, unsettled.
Whatever you're feeling today—it is valid. It matters. And you’re allowed to feel it.

To support you, I’ve shared a gentle Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Tapping Script in this video. 🌀

This is for you, to help you acknowledge and move through whatever is coming up, without getting stuck in it. Sometimes just a few rounds can help bring down the intensity and bring back your sense of peace.

🎥 Whether you feel everything or nothing, whether today is deeply meaningful or deeply hard, this is offered with love. You don’t have to do this alone. Let this tool help you ride the waves 🌊

Sending love to every heart navigating Father’s Day in their own way today. ❤️
✨You are seen, and you are not alone.

I am Super Proud & So Happy to share this EFT script with you today led by my wonderful friend and business partner (in Quantum Goddess Healing) Stef Sale.

We wanted to keep with the theme of Community for this years recognising that we can feel blocked from joining or creating communities because we don’t feel we belong.

This is very close to my heart as deep within I always felt like an outsider even though outwardly people may not have known this about me.

When people retreat or don’t join in - this may be why. You may perceive it as rude but they are doing this to keep themselves safe. The aim of using this emotional freedom technique by tapping is to free you of old beliefs that hold you back and guide you to your desired destination with your new beliefs. This is done gently, creating safety along the way.

Enjoy 😊 ❤️

When I attended my first adoption talk with The OLLIE Foundation it gave me a great understanding of myself. Back in my day of being adopted there wasn’t the support for adoptees and adoptive families like there is now.

The understanding of the impact wasn’t there. If you think like the Irish Government with their redress scheme, that separating a baby from their birth mother immediately after birth and only 6 weeks in a Mother & Baby Home doesn’t massively impact or affect that child I can let you all know that has not been my experience.

In my training today we explored attachment styles and what disordered attachment looks like in children. Nobody knew to look out for it & how to support children like me in the 70s.

I focussed on my happy ending which I got in my family and ignored the separation and grief that I endured. I have since been able to work with my inner child & give her the opportunity to express herself which has been life changing.

During my Compassionate Inquiry training with Dr Gabor Maté the belief “I don’t deserve to take up space” came out of my mouth when we went to my body to uncover the truth of what lay within. I was devastated by my words and did not recognise this part of me that was speaking. You see we often don’t know the beliefs that are inside of us & driving so much of our life.

I didn’t want to connect with this part of me. I felt loved 🥰 and part of my family so why would I want to connect with any of this? I totally detached myself & it felt like it wasn’t really my story. Who wants to connect with feeling abandoned and rejected? No thank you!!

But when I allowed this connection with myself it was lovely to attend talks like these and find a community where people got it, they understood. I joined Facebook groups specific for the adoption experience & that had felt supportive and like a family for one another.

Thank you to The Ollie Foundation for these talks that offer acknowledgment and openness of the adoption experience and support all concerned.

🌿 It's all about community - Mental Health Awareness Week 2025 🌿

Throughout this week, we've been highlighting the power of community, connection, and conversation by featuring some of the incredible panel events and talks we've hosted — which are all available to watch on our YouTube channel.

One of the powerful conversations we've recorded is:
“The Unacknowledged Grief of Adoption”
Featuring Zara Phillips, Ron Nydam, and Debbie Doherty - this panel explores the profound impacts of relinquishment and the question: Does the unacknowledged grief and loss of adoption help explain why adopted teens are 4x more likely to attempt su***de than their non-adopted peers? (Keyes et al., 2013)

This deeply insightful talk explores:
- The grief of birth parents, adoptive parents, and adopted children.
- How early separation affects a child’s mental health and can result in lasting cellular memory.
- Links between unprocessed grief and challenges like suicidality and substance misuse.
- What we can do to support those affected.

If you want to hear more on the subject of adoption, you can also watch:
👉Roots, Reunion and Beyond with Zara Phillips, Chanice Horsnell and co-founder of OLLIE, Stuart Falconer.
👉Developmental Trauma of Relinquishment with Zara Philips and Paul Sunderland.
👉The Trauma of Relinquishment - Adoption, Addiction and Beyond with Zara Phillips in conversation with world-leading trauma and addiction expert, Dr. Gabor Maté.

Join us this Mental Health Awareness Week as we listen, learn, and grow together.

The Ollie Foundation offer fantastic resources and support. I have attended many of their talks & they were one of the first charities I heard speaking about the impact of adoption and how adoptees are 4 times more likely to take their own lives according to current statistics.

🌿Mental Health Awareness Week 2025 🌿
Throughout this week, we’re shining a light on the power of community, connection, and conversation by spot lighting some of the incredible panel events and talks we have hosted that are available for you to view on our YouTube channel.

Today, we want to celebrate the incredible Zoe Strickland and her poignant book 'To Grief With Love,' a space that brings honesty, hope, and healing to those navigating the complex journey of grief.

During National Grief Week 2024, OLLIE's CEO, Debi Roberts, sat down for an intimate and heartfelt interview with one of her closest friends, Zoe Strickland, a mother who experienced the unimaginable loss of her son to su***de.

Together, they delve into Zoe's journey through grief, her inspiring book To Grief with Love, and the powerful expressions of healing and hope found in her art, and the poignant "Doodle Lady."

As Zoe so tenderly offers for our consideration:
“The more fiercely we love, the more fiercely we grieve. Yet, there is hope in the letting go, in the gentle suturing of the heart and soul. We can survive. We must.”

Feedback from readers of the book:
"I have one word for the book - beautiful - I will treasure it. It has brought me such comfort and the will to keep going, living a life with purpose to honour my son 💙Thank you so much."

"Zoe's incredible gift with words and doodling will help so many who are grieving- some pages were like a warm comforting blanket that I know will revisit many times."

"I Love this book. Reading this incredible book was like seeing my grief reflected in the mirror. All of our grief journeys are unique, but overlap in so many different ways."
Chris Sibley - Co Founder of the OLLIE Foundation

Mental Health Awareness Week begins today. Some of us will have struggled with our own mental health since the death of our child or sibling. Some of us may be bereaved by su***de, or our child or sibling may have experienced their own mental ill health before they died.

This year's theme is community. At TCF, a strong sense of community, compassion and empathy, is at the core of what we do. Community can be a lifeline for grieving parents.

"Being part of a safe, positive community is vital for our mental health and wellbeing. We thrive when we have strong connections with other people and supportive communities that remind us, we are not alone. Communities can provide a sense of belonging, safety, support in hard times, and give us a sense purpose." (Mental Health Foundation)

What does community mean to you and how does it impact your mental health?
