You wake up expecting a normal rhythm to your day, and within a moment everything rearranges itself in a way you could not have planned for, which is exactly what this week has asked of us as my husband put his back out and suddenly both life and business asked for a kind of re-centring.

When you are both self employed, your mind moves quickly into the practicalities of what this might mean.

How long recovery could take, what needs to shift and where uncertainty might lead, yet underneath that turbulance there is also a reassuring awareness of what is already here and holding you.

In our case, the home we have built, the flexibility we have created, the way work allows us to respond rather than react, and the space to meet these moments without everything collapsing around it.

This is the part that feels important to stay connected to, because your experience is shaped not only by what happens but by where your attention lands while it is happening.

In that space you begin to notice that support already exists, resilience is already within, and the life you have created has more capacity than you sometimes give it credit for.

Holding both the unknown and the stability at the same time changes the quality of how you move through moments like this, and it becomes less about controlling what happens next and more about staying grounded in what is already stable, trusting that you will meet whatever unfolds from that place.

If today is asking something unexpected of you, bring your awareness back to what is still working, what is still supportive and what is still yours to anchor to, because that is where your strength actually lives.

Sending love

We had a little staycation at the weekend.

Meals out, a trip to Arundel, just us 🤍

A reminder of how important it is to step out of the rhythm you hold for others back into your own 🌷

24/04/2026

The same bowl, the same note, the same sequence will be experienced in completely different ways depending on who is creating it and how they are in themselves when they do.

The body is always reading what sits underneath the sound. It registers coherence, it registers tension, it registers whether the person holding the space is settled in themselves or still searching.

This is why two sessions can look the same from the outside and feel entirely different.

I came to understand this through my own journey with sound.

My sessions became so much more than “nice and relaxing” when I stopped focusing on playing well and began to notice what was happening in me and in others, as I played.

How I was thinking, my connection to the energy in the room, how present I actually was, how incredibly powerful silence is, how my guests were receiving and responding...

This is the level you are stepping into when you feel called to this work. It’s powerful and it will take you deeper, asking you to meet parts of yourself you may not have fully stepped into yet.

You are learning to meet yourself at a depth where what you carry becomes part of what you offer and it’s a powerful part I support you to develop.

Message me to explore the best support for you, as you step into this work or deepen your path as a Sound Healing Practitioner.

Reflections | Sacred Spring Day Retreat
 
Such a gorgeous day to welcome in the energy of spring.
 
I’m always so grateful for these gatherings (and for those of you who join me), and last weekend felt especially special as we came together to explore the practice of Puja a meaningful way of bringing devotion and intention into how we move and rest.
 
THANK YOU to the beautiful souls who gathered to share the day .
 
🌿 We began with fresh green juices and matcha energy balls from the wonderful Kat
 
🌿 I guided a gentle yoga and breathwork practice, alongside simple ritual moments inspired by Puja, inviting presence and care into each part of our day.
 
🌿 We paused with nourishing teas from with a cleansing Nettle tea and Mindful Tonic to allow settlement. Both delicious, if you haven’t tried them, I’d definitely recommend.
 
🌿 Kat served us vibrant,  nourishing quinoa bowls with turmeric hummus, followed by fresh fruits and the most delicious Persian Love Cake.
 
🌿 There was time for quiet reflection, creating space to tune in to what is ready to emerge this season.
 
🌿 The afternoon was dedicated to deep rest with restorative yoga, before settling into the healing frequencies of the Crystal Bowls, with mini savasana head and neck massages woven by Emi
 
🌿 Closing the day with heartfelt connection, and simple offerings to take away from
 
Thank you to Kat & Emi for your nourishment & care, and most of all to each of you who came. You are all a gift and I’m truly grateful.
 
If you’d like to join a future retreat, feel free to message me or join the waitlist.
 
Love

There’s something about this point in the year where life begins to pick up again and it becomes even more important to have practices that bring you back to yourself.

For me, yoga is always part of that, providing a place to return to each day, week, season. An opportunity to move, breathe, build strength and flexibility, and stay connected to your body in a way that feels supportive.

My weekly classes are gentle, mindful and suitable for beginners or anyone who prefers a slower pace.

Weekly yoga classes
Wednesday | 9:30am
Thursday | 6pm
Thursday | 7:30pm

Alongside classes, I’m also holding two Sound Healing sessions in April for anyone wanting time to pause more deeply:
Wednesday 15th April | 7pm
Sunday 19th April | 10am

I also offer 1:1 Yoga sessions if you’d like more individual support, and the October Sound Healing Practitioner Training is now open for enrolment.

Sometimes the most meaningful gift is simply time and space to rest, breathe and be cared for.

A gift voucher can be used for a 1:1 Sound Healing or Reiki session, a Sound Bath, or a yoga class, offering a moment of calm and nourishment that lasts far beyond the day itself.

If you would like to gift that experience, vouchers are available and can be arranged in time for Mother’s Day. Drop me a message.

March always carries a particular energy in the yoga space, with a sense of movement in the air as the days lengthen and we begin to feel the desire to stretch beyond the rhythms that carried them through winter.

Yoga offers a place to meet that transition with intention rather than momentum, giving you the space to listen to your body, to notice what has shifted in your life and to reconnect with the steadiness that sits beneath the noise of everyday demands.

Some of our classes and gatherings in March offer space for slower, more contemplative practice. Others will bring energy and movement back into the body. Each one, an invitation to return to yourself for a while.

You’ll find the full schedule for March in the slides above and I would love to welcome you into the space this month.

Sacred Spring Day Retreat 28th March - 1 spot left

Sound Healing Practitioner Training 15th-17th May - 2 spots left

Weekly Yoga Classes - PAYG or subscription

Private 121 Reiki & Sound Healing Sessions - see website for availablity

Life has a way of unfolding in directions you could never have planned, especially when you follow the things that genuinely interest and challenge you.

Yoga and sound healing have taken me into rooms, conversations and friendships that my younger self would never have imagined. They have asked me to step into spaces that felt unfamiliar at first, to speak to people I didn’t know and to trust that something meaningful would come from saying “yes”, even when I felt nervous.

What I’ve realised over time is that courage is not a personality trait but something you practise.

Each time you choose to step forward instead of staying comfortable, your nervous system learns that growth is safe and although the fear might not fully disappear it becomes easier to move with, so much easier.

But the most unexpected gift has been the people and the conversations that open your thinking. These connections feel special and learning from those both younger and older than me, reminds me again and again that we are all evolving at our own pace.

Sharing sound in spaces like this always fills my heart. It’s never just about the bowls, it’s about the people you meet and the willingness to show up fully as you are.

Thank you to Maddy again .meraki for inviting me to share the magical Alchemy bowls last weekend, it’s always pure joy to be with you, plus I was treated to a delicious raspberry & almond muffin (what’s not to love! 🤎)

I used to stand at the back of the room, afraid of being seen and judged by others. It stopped me from taking risks and finding peace in the way I moved through the world.

But yoga taught me that the real practice is showing up with kindness and remembering that we are so much more than our physical bodies.

So instead of trying to be perfect, my nervous system slowly began to recalibrate and I found a new way of holding myself and a completely new way of living and being.

This footage was taken in London a few years ago. There is a version of me who would have been too scared to hold this space but that is the beauty of time and our ability to change, so I am forever grateful for yoga and for the way it continues to meet me where I am.

Perhaps this is your reminder to meet yourself as you are but that change is possible for you too. Kim xx

I turn 55 towards the end of this year and I’ve lived enough life to know that growth doesn’t stop because you lack ability, it stops because you become highly competent at managing yourself.

Most of us function well, we know how to hold responsibility, regulate emotion, meet expectations and keep moving. But functioning is not the same as evolving in the way that you truly desire.

I don’t believe Yoga entered my life as a way to become more flexible or calm (although these are wonderful bi-products) I already had strategies for those.

Yoga arrived as a practice that revealed something more powerful: in how much I could stay present for without bracing, forcing or “going through the motions”.

Yoga supports us on more than a physical level. It asks us:

Can you remain steady when sensation increases?
Can you apply effort without urgency?
Can you stay connected when things feel demanding or unfamiliar?

As I age, I am interested in a body that supports the life I’m choosing, not one I have to manage my life around. Yoga sharpens that discernment, by showing you where effort is intelligent and where it’s compensatory. in you body and in you life.

That skill stays with you, when you leave your mat so that you notice where you are present and where you are merely enduring.

It changes how you lead, how you make decisions, how you love and how you trust.

I don’t practice yoga to stay young (although I am physically stronger and more flexible than I was in my 20s) I practice it to stay available to the next evolution of myself and to trust that I am capable of it.

Yoga is less about the shapes you make and more about the capacity you build and that is what continues to matter to me as I guide your into 2026 on your mat.
