Guided breathing and the difficulty when the breath is too long. How can you guide yourself to find a place of harmony and allow the exhale to gradually extend. Relaxing the body and breath to bring about a sense of ease and regulation. No pressure at all, come as you are and just notice the pause. Consider the exhale and how you’d like it to show up! Maybe for today just notice that you are breathing…….

🎉Well this is exciting!🎉

I’m delighted to share that I am now accredited with the Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) here in the UK.

This accreditation reflects a commitment to high standards of safe, ethical, and evidence-informed practice, following my Yoga Therapy qualification (600 hours with ).

Yoga therapy is not just about movement—it’s a personalised, holistic approach that can support physical health, emotional wellbeing, and nervous system regulation. Whether you’re managing stress, recovering from injury, living with a long-term condition, managing menopause symptoms or simply looking to feel more balanced, yoga therapy meets you where you are.

In my practice, I integrate breathwork, gentle movement, and tailored therapeutic techniques to support each individual’s needs. My aim is to create a space that feels safe, supportive, and empowering—where real, sustainable change can happen.

If you’re curious about how yoga therapy could support you, I’d love to connect and explore what might be helpful for you.

As our body changes during Peri and Post Menopause, some of us experience significant symptoms that impact our life. The hormonal changes we experience may affect sleep, fatigue, stress levels, brain fog, joint pain, mood fluctuations, overwhelm, night sweats, hot flashes, loss of libido, vaginal dryness to name just a VERY few symptoms.

EVERY woman will experience this transition, although some will ‘sail through’ not noticing the changes. Some will find these changes extremely difficult and disruptive, affecting work, home life and relationships.

Perhaps it’s you? Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed, lonely and not sure how to find a moment of calm?

Nourishing our bodies through gentle movement, rest and space to reflect may help to navigate the way ahead. To find out what yoga therapy may offer you and your beautiful body please get in touch.

Considering intentions, sankalpas and how often I am present enough during my day to come back to them/it. I recognise that like most of us I’m so busy charging to the next thing, that coming back to the moment and staying present enough to remember my sankalpa is a rare moment.

So, intention for the day is to be mindful of the mindful thoughts and moments!

Have a lovely day everyone 🌸✨🌸

How to tend to your “Inner Soil” this week:

🌱 Clear the Weeds and make space for growth: spend less time on the habits, situations, people or voices that drain your energy. What no longer serves you?

🌸 Add Compost to fertilise and nurture: reflect on lessons and how these can be embedded for the future you. What fuels you? Makes you feel better?

💦 Hydrate: Seek out the people and hobbies that pour back into you. What really nutures your inner being?

💛 Rest: Create space & breathe. What can be removed from your schedule to bring a moment of calm? How can you oxygenate your roots?

Go lightly in the week and remember just to breathe. All will be well x

What is it to be connected, especially during times when the world feels deeply disconnected?

Building community, no matter how small creates a sense of belonging and support. I am ever grateful for my yoga community, online and in person. The little squares lighting up when we’re together online, the conversation and laughter that sustains us through to the next week.

Our beautiful circle for in person classes where we feel the essence of each other, sharing the space, all equal. Always leaving lighter and connected through love with a true sense of belonging.

With collaborative offerings, I am reminded of the thread of shared knowledge, respect for another’s practice and their infinite wisdom. We each recognise the energy we bring to the space and the responsibility of the impact on those who join.

Through yoga therapy, we co-author a process to connect deeply back to the layers of yourself. Supporting emotional wellbeing and can sit alongside other therapeutic modalities. This powerful practice can bring deep connection back to your true essence.

You are welcome to join the Healing Mat community. Please DM for classes in Horsham
or online.

I’ve spent the last few weeks trying to navigate an incredibly difficult time of loss. I’m sure grief will linger and be part of my new normal going forward. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that regulation and breath can support everything.

We often get caught up in the noise of life, especially when the world rages around us but the real magic happens when you focus on finding quiet in the moment. Listening to the body and taking time for stillness, I know it’s not about doing more; it’s about doing what actually serves our emotional and physical needs. (Always a lesson to self and continuing to learn more self awareness.)

Yoga Therapy gives us an opportunity to be held, heard, and healed through mindful motion. Yoga Therapy can sit alongside talking therapy, medical support and may bring you home to yourself.

If you’re curious please get in touch and I’d be delighted to hear from you x
