Futon time! I've been working on a massage couch the last few years due to limited space in my old room, and a knee injury before that. It was wonderful to get the futon out again for shiatsu today, so grounding for practitioner and client and really allows for movement and stretches. There are pro's and con's to the massage table and the futon so if you have a preference just let me know!

Finding a sunny spot.
I would love to say I started the day with an hour of yoga, followed by a meditation then a green smoothie before calmly waking up the kids in my minimalist home and joyfully walking them to school being fully attentive and present to their needs.

Instead I slept badly, woke up with stressful dreams, drank two cups of caffinated tea while tripping over clutter and snapping at the kids, and could feel my nervous system in stress mode before I had even started the day. So when I arrived at work and saw this sunny spot I just lay down in it. Ten minutes of blissful sunshine on my skin. .. while my mind wandered "have I got time for this... shhhhh.... I should set an alarm.... shhhhh..... maybe I can write an Instagram post about not doing yoga.... shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh". Now I am drinking my 3rd tea sitting on the floor writing this. Self care doesn't have to be spa breaks and smoothies. It can be 10 minutes enjoying a sunny spot, whether it is actual sunshine or just noticing you have 5 minutes to yourself.

This week I have been playing with different room layouts. I have also installed secondary glazing as that beautiful 2.5 meter meter can get a bit chilly, and it is also helping to reduce the traffic noise from the road outside. Insulated windows combined with moving the chairs to the corner made for a calm and cosy evening of counselling sessions. Sadly, in the move I accidentally snapped off the biggest leaf from my monstera plant... it looks like a bit of the node broke off so hoping I can propagate... any plant experts out there?

Do you know of free / low cost counselling services in Mid-Wales or online?

I offer private counselling in Llanidloes but I know this may be unaffordable for many. I beleive talking therapy should be available to all and so am wanting to gather together a list of low cost and free counselling services I can refer clients on to who may need it. I know some people may be able to access via NHS, what else is out there? Specialist or general all welcome. I will start a list, please add in the comments:

- GP referral
- New Pathways - Specialist service for those who have expereinced Sexual Violence
- Pont Hafren Newtown
- Rekindle Newtown (under 25's)

Really interesting talk on the impact of 'little-t' traumas, especially on sensitive children.

"that wasn't such a big deal, other people have it worse than me, why am I even complaining about this? Because it's little-t trauma and it did have ramifications that are big"
