✨ I nearly didn’t post this…
I love to celebrate other people’s successes but I almost didn't stop to recognise my own. As I started to reflect, I realised that I have plenty to celebrate from 2025!
So here are just a few of the highlights 🥂
🌱 Supported even more clients to find relief, peace and a way back to themselves after loss
🕊️ Trained as a funeral celebrant and delivered my first funerals, holding space for others in moments of loss, an honour I’ve found profoundly meaningful and rewarding.
💼 Completed my first year as Chair of WCAVA
🎙️ Guest on A Gift for Grief podcast
✍️ Launched The Grief Edit newsletter on Substack
💆♀️Hosted a grief pamper session as part of National Grief Awareness Week
🚶♀️🎂 Celebrated Grief Walks & Talks turning 2 yrs
🏆 Became a finalist for a Women Who Specialist Recognition Award
🎟️ Won tickets to Ideas Fest and made some brilliant connections
🌟 Lots and lots of wonderful networking events; online, face to face, walk and talks.
🌿Launched Reroot newsletter because along the way I noticed a pattern with many of my clients that became impossible to ignore; women who grew up without the emotional safety, warmth or support they needed, are ready to make sense of their story and finally begin putting themselves first 🌿
And yes…
💛 You can now even send a personalised pocket hug via my website.
✨ Just some of the exciting things to come in 2026 (and I can’t wait):
• Bravehearts Beyond Loss community ❤️🔥
• The Reroot community and 1:1 programme 🌿
• Collaborating on a 3-day grief retreat 🤍
• The Good Grief Festival; bringing healing improv into spaces of loss and connection 🎭💛
On a personal note I have a big birthday milestone coming up (eek)…so 2026 looks like its going to be another purposeful year of growth and plenty of fizz! 🥂 🍾
Thank you to all of the wonderful people that have been part of this incredible year and to what’s yet to unfold ✨💛
