Every day is a reminder that healing is not something I’ve arrived at. It is something I keep choosing even on the days I catch myself falling back into old patterns.

It was my first day of school and I was nervous.

The teacher gave me a test to see what class set to be in. I flunked it and was just told that I was stupid and wouldn’t amount to anything.

It still sits with me today - ridiculous I know, but I have some inner flame to still prove people that doubted me wrong. At what point will it quieten??!

This isn’t a lecture or a scare piece. It’s just everything I learned the hard way.

I’ve spent years working on the real cause of my body dysmorphia and the beliefs that drove me, which is why I can finally say this honestly.

A few people have reached out recently asking how to work with me.

Right now, the most meaningful way is through something I’m deeply proud of.

In January, I’m co-facilitating undō, a 3-night nervous system reset retreat with clinical neuroscientist Dr Miguel Toribio-Mateas.

Held at Bore Place, a quiet 500-acre regenerative estate in Kent, this retreat is designed to help you slow down, release stress, and reconnect with your body.

You’ll experience:
• Conscious connected breathwork
• Yoga Nidra and deep restorative practices
• Integration circles and expressive journaling
• Nature walks, nervous system education, and space to actually exhale
• Plant-based meals designed to support the gut–brain connection

No experience needed. Just willingness to show up for yourself.

Dates: Fri 30 Jan – Mon 2 Feb 2026
Location: Bore Place, Kent (approx. 1 hour from London)
Investment: From £1050 for 3 nights (all meals + activities included)

✨ Book before 30 November and receive a complimentary online post-retreat integration session.

Spots are intentionally limited so we can hold a deep, grounded space.

The amount of times I heard “it’s just a dog.”

People who don’t have pets will never get it.
They think it’s walks, food, sleep.

When you’re having a rough time, they just curl up by your side and just be. Ahhh ❤️‍🩹
