Hayley Barker-Smith - Psychotherapy & Breathwork

Winter is a time to rest, not for more busy-ness.

If your December calendar is filling up fast, don’t forget to save a little space for yourself. This is your invitation to step away from the noise and step into 90 minutes of deep calm.

Join me for my Winter Wind-Down. We’ll start with a grounding exercise to settle in, followed by a restorative 50-minute breathe to music. It’s the perfect way to release tension and find a moment of peace before the holidays truly begin.

Give yourself the gift of rest.

🗓 Friday 12th December ⏰ 7.30pm - 9pm 📍 Moulsham Mill Business Centre, CM2 7PX

I can't believe I've never seen a tram! Actually, I didn't even realise I've never seen a tram until I saw one on Saturday! Where have I been 🤔

For those who joined and myself at our recent collaboration, I'm sure you'll agree it was one of the most outstanding experiences ever. The blend of beautiful beings being transported to the realms of spirit & spaciousness, to surrender, be seen and held. The fabulous food and potent cacao. The laughter, tears and love.

Leigh's healing work is unbelievably powerful and dynamic. Matched with my long history working in the healing arts and Conscious Connected Breathwork, this is a force like no other🔥

Leigh has been alchemising her most powerful day retreat yet — The Womb Temple Day Retreat and I'm ecstatic to be bringing the healing Breathwork release and repair to compliment her gifted wisdom ❤️‍🔥

In her words

"We're going deep
No surface-level fluff

If you're just wanting a little bit of relaxation and light meditation, this isn't the day retreat for you

If you know things need to change in 2026 and you're ready to dig deep to find the version of you that’s going to make that s**t happen — I've got you"

I LOVE my Crocs. I know there are many haters out there and that's fine by me.

I've had several comments from 'friends' about certain things I choose to wear that's ok too. One of them who I've known for many years said "I really didn't think you'd turn out like this, you were always so glamorous" that didn't feel so good but I'm kind of over it.

So do you love Crocs? Miine are lovely and fluffy inside - why wouldn't you 🤔

Looking forward to making it to Manchester on Saturday 15th for my moving talk on Breathwork as an embodied approach to Neurodivergent Wholeness.

Manchester Holistic ADHD Summit

These talks have been both exciting and challenging all at once and I'm excited to see where they take me in 2026.
Lots of creative ideas whizzing around and thank the Lord for .jane.hardy and for walking this path by my side - "when you know you know"

Already excited to share another otherworldly space in January with another beautiful ally - details to be announced soon.

Me + Cake = TROUBLE 😭

I’m holding this coffee cake in ecstasy, eyes closed, fully gone. The smell alone is enough to make me dizzy — cinnamon, sugar, butter, all swirling like a spell. For a few minutes it’s pure bliss, dopamine fireworks, heaven in crumb form.

But then comes the flip side. My ADHD brain doesn’t just stop at one bite. It’s the binge, the guilt, the shame that sneaks in after the joy. That push-pull of craving and regret is real; I could actually eat the whole thing and I’m naming it here because I know I’m not the only one.

So yes, this cake is divine. And yes, it’s complicated. Welcome to my sad love story with food.

What's your cake story?
