As 2026 begins, I have been reflecting on ‘my why’.

If you’re considering working with me, I want you to know what truly matters to me and why.

My work is shaped not only by training and experience but by my own lived understanding of stress, overwhelm and the need for safe, compassionate spaces to slow down and breathe.

I know what it’s like to function on the outside while feeling disconnected or stretched thin on the inside.

Because of that, I care deeply about creating a space where you don’t have to perform, explain yourself perfectly or have everything worked out. A space where you can arrive just as you are.

I care about mental and emotional wellbeing being met with kindness rather than pressure to “fix” yourself.

Many of the patterns we struggle with are intelligent responses from a nervous system that has learned how to cope.

I care about working at your pace, listening to your body and what feels safe for you. True change doesn’t come from pushing harder but from feeling supported enough to soften.

I bring together mindfulness, breathwork and gentle body-based approaches to support you as a whole person because healing doesn’t happen in isolation from the body.

Most of all, I care about helping you reconnect with a sense of calm, self-compassion and inner steadiness that may feel far away but is already within you.

If this resonates, I look forward to meeting you.

PS The Northern Lights just to brighten your day!

Today, I cleared the yurt roof! It felt like it was going to be a monumental task but I started anyway. I realised I couldn’t reach very far but then found out that as I got all the way round the yurt, I could step onto the cleared snow and reach up higher. I did this a few times and got very very close to the top. I felt like I had achieved something huge! 🙌🥰

Sometimes facing challenges in life can feel monumental but if we take that first step, we can slowly but surely, with support, start to feel better, more improved versions of ourselves.

The yurt may be unreachable by many of you just now, but I continue to work online, as well distance Reiki.

Closing sessions on integrating the 16 Guidelines into everyday life

Commitments, takeaways, and a celebratory farewell circle
