The Loud Quiet

06/03/2026

Two years since telling my story for ❤️

It’s so hard, so exposing, to put yourself out there in the most vulnerable way imaginable.

But I knew in my gut I wanted to speak in front of that audience, and that I wouldn’t regret it.

Because all I could think about after coming out of hospital were how many other women and girls in the next rooms must have been going through that same thing completely alone, without a partner beside them.

If there’s one thing we all need to feel less alone, it’s to know that other people have been through what we struggle with.

Around one in four women experience pregnancy loss.

So I trusted that people would need to feel seen in my story, and I trusted that people would be kind, and see me.

If we can use our voice to help others feel less alone, that’s a privilege we get to choose.

IWD has largely become meaningless, let’s be honest. Mostly corporate, performative and insulting.

When women’s rights have been rolled back centuries.

When women still aren’t believed. When our bodies are still policed.

When only 1% of (reported) r*pe cases end in conviction.

It’s still being debated in parliament whether abortion should be fully decriminalised.

When trans women still aren’t considered women (The Women’s Institute are banning trans women from next month. It makes me proud, in a bittersweet way, that the Manchester WI wouldn’t stand for this and simply closed down.)

It’s not equality if it’s only for white middle class women AFAB.

Too many events and stats to name within this word count, close to home and overseas.

I know there’s so much to feel exhausted by already right now, and it doesn’t sound very hopeful to state the stark truth. But awareness is the starting point for change.

There is a hopeful side. There are still enough people who care.

There are individuals and organisations giving everything they have. All year round, not just on one perfunctory day. I was proud to support another of them this week.

Let’s not stop listening to each other. Lets keep our fire. Let’s keep feeling the depths of our emotions, while staying tender. Anger is revolutionary, and necessary, and so is kindness. 🫶

Breathwork classes continue today and tomorrow ❤️ See post for booking x

Conscious connected breathwork classes for a softer 2026 ✨

Need to slow down, unmask and feel like *you* again? Claim the space to be human and join me at The Didsbury Parsonage in one of my regular breathwork sessions:

🔸 Thursdays 5.45-6.45pm (weekly)
🔸 Fridays 12.30-1.30pm (fortnightly)

Prioritise yourself in this restorative environment, with somatic breathwork to bring you out of the mind and into the body.

With my qualified, conscious support, you’re guided to gently release stress and safely process emotions, at your own pace.

In today’s ultra-stressed western world, creating a regulated nervous system will help us navigate life with more ease.

One of the most common things I hear from class attendees is ‘I really needed that.’ ❤️

When we slow down, drop into the body and just let ourselves ~feel~, we create more inner capacity to move through our emotions, rather than avoiding them.

It can feel so hard to get quiet with ourselves, and be comfortable with this present moment. Without trying to get anything right, be anything more, or *do* anything.

That’s why stillness practices like meditation can feel impossible for some, whereas curious attention to our breath, and our felt experience, helps the tension of overthinking to naturally melt away.

Our inner world is fascinating, and there’s so much to love about the real person inside of us, just waiting to be heard.

When we get quiet with ourselves, our inner voice gets too loud to ignore…

Hope to support you in a class soon 🫶

I very much enjoyed donating my time this International Women’s Week to a local charity who are doing incredible, inclusive work.

It felt so fulfilling to bring my work to an organisation who fight for gender equity and equal rights with such kindness, dedication and creativity. 🫶

Perhaps you recognise their HQ in Manchester…

Can’t wait to share more about it soon ❤️

~ Permission to Pause retreat day ~
▫️Saturday 7th March, 10am-2pm
The Didsbury Parsonage (Fletcher Moss park)

“Self love is an ocean and your heart is a vessel. Make it full, and any excess will spill over into the lives of the people you hold dear. But you must come first.” – Beau Taplin

Don’t you find that when we slow down, it feels easier to love ourselves? (And be more loving to others?) ❤️

It can seem rare and fleeting in a hectic world, but how utterly wonderful it is to feel more grounded in who we are, let out a deeeeeep exhale, and hear our true inner voice again.

How often do you get to have that feeling? Away from obligations, notifications and whatever else takes us away from self.

When life was lifeing, my tendency was always to push on, push myself further down the priority list, and stay stuck in overthinking.

That’s why I started The Loud Quiet, after discovering the power of our embodied wisdom. We can only access it from being present to ourselves and listening inwards. 💡

Oh, and I started actively *choosing* more rest.

When everything else feels more important, self-care can seem like a nice-to-have indulgence, rather than something that truly nourishes our health and wellbeing.

What if you experience stillness without guilt, with no self-shaming strings attached? 💆🏻

To enjoy that deep, true restfulness, that leaves you fully topped up and restored? 🌟

When we slow down and connect with our bodies and emotions, with compassionate support, we feel good from the inside out.

Tending to our own needs is so important. With a full cup, we have more energy and love to give back to the world.

Join me at my next retreat day this Saturday to feel deeply self-connected, well rested and cared for.

It’s a safe space to show up as you are, and be guided in soothing, joyful practices your nervous system will thank you for. ✨

Enjoy conscious breathwork from me, a qualified somatic practitioner, a sound bath from guest teacher Rosanne Goh Yoga, guided somatic practices, a (short) mindful walk in the beautiful gardens, and more. 🌺🌳

All genders, ages and experience levels welcome. ☁️

Do you consider yourself an ‘angry person’ or not? 🔥

We all get angry. But how much do we let ourselves feel it?

Anger is powerful. And like any other emotion, it is completely valid.

It’s so important to let ourselves feel it, connect with it and release it healthily.

Yet anger can feel wrong, not allowed, too uncomfortable to face.

It’s not the emotion itself that causes issues, but the actions that can come from it. If we aren’t properly engaging with and listening to our anger, it will usually come out in other ways.

If we’re not conscious of being angry and try to pretend everything’s fine on the outside, it will stay suppressed and stuck in the body.

Anger can then deepen and spiral into secondary emotions, which prolong our suffering unnecessarily.

It can also end up becoming a permanent state of being that defines us, rather than something normal that comes and goes, as part of being a living, breathing human.

Suppressed anger can come out in reactivity towards others, perhaps in behaviours or coping mechanisms that are harmful to ourselves.

And with so much to be angry about in the world, there’s no shortage of fuel for this emotion.

Every time we go online, for example, there seems to be even more to ignite that fire.

Again, getting fired up is not a problem in itself. Caring about the world is important. But self-awareness is key.

When we’re really present to our emotions, we can self-enquire with curiosity. What’s this really about for me?

Rather than unconsciously participating in a divided world.

Because misplaced anger can lead us to lose ourselves and feel more disconnected from the world, rather than engaging with life, and people, in a meaningful way.

It can be so hard to hear our own inner voice, become aware of our own true emotions, and get anywhere near our own heart.

When the outside world is loud, it takes commitment and compassion to keep coming back to ourselves.

Somatic therapy and breathwork are so powerful for healthy emotional expression.

I support people to feel more comfortable in their emotions and express themselves authentically.

One week to go until my Permission to Pause retreat day, Saturday 7th March at The Didsbury Parsonage.... 💛

“I took a deep breath and listened to the old brag of my heart. I am, I am, I am.” - Sylvia Plath

So that’s a wrap on my New Year, Old You online course. It was a privilege to spend these last couple of months with this gorgeous group.

We finished on Wednesday evening and as someone remarked, it felt genuinely emotional to say goodbye. ❤️

We eased into the year with presence, gentle intention and absolutely no pressure. Practising staying in our bodies and feeling it all as we explored some very human themes.

People were so beautifully open and trusting with each other. They tenderly shared what they were moving through, as some big life changes were navigated.

We opened the course discussing the pressure to be productive at the start of a new year; and how it didn’t necessarily feel like the right time to be starting anew.

And we talked about areas to feel optimistic about moving forward, with ‘cautious hope’ as someone called it.

Wanting positive change doesn’t have to come with knowing the answers - it often won’t; it’s the ability to surrender and trust the process which will be so powerful.

People were allowed to show up as they were, from a place of honesty and humanness. No pretence and nothing to prove. Just being authentic, open and kind.

We listened to our bodies, to our inner stillness, got curious about our emotions and enquired a little deeper about what’s underneath them.

We used that embodied awareness to uncover core beliefs, and compassionately find more self-connection self-love, self-trust.

I guided meditation, breathwork, somatic enquiry and written practices. They help us open to our deepest intuition, so profound insights arise naturally, in their own time.

When we find that place of quiet inside, we get to know ourselves like never before. It’s not easy; a few of us discussed ADHD and having busy minds; it can take effort to soften our thoughts and nurture a settled nervous system.

I used my own course to hold myself accountable, too, as I like to do. Always learning alongside you, always being inspired by what you share. Always committing to my own continued growth.

Thank you to this wonderful group. I truly love this work ✨

🌚 Inward joy vs outward joy 🌝

“If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don’t hesitate. Give into it.” - Mary Oliver

What does joy feel like to you?

This state of embodied aliveness can show up in various ways.

In my online course, we explored the topic of reconnecting with joy. It’s vital to understand our relationship with it, so we can tap into what lights us up and appreciate what helps us get to a joyful place.

I loved hearing the ways people noticed they experience joy (it’s rarely the big things we might expect; it’s often smaller moments of meaning). ❤️

Sometimes, joy will show up as more of an inner contentment (what I’m calling inward joy).

It may not be something we show to the world necessarily; it’s that small but mighty feeling of fulfilment when we feel most connected to ourselves.

Inward joy is highly likely when we’re grounded in who we are and what we’re experiencing in the present moment.

When we’re in the middle of a difficult time, inward joy can be letting ourselves move through our emotions without resistance. Having compassion for our pain, and softening into it.

Inward joy could be those glimmers, everyday moments, of feeling uplifted. The sun on our face, hearing the birds, walking in the woods, stroking a dog, reading a good book. Even in our work, if we feel connected to a sense of purpose.

Our thoughts may slow down, our shoulders might relax, we could feel more comfortable in our skin, more at peace with ourselves in stillness; our nervous system more settled.

Outward joy is what I’m calling that feeling which may appear more vibrant.

We might dance, sing, move with a spring in our step, interact with people animatedly, show the excitement we feel.

It might feel like butterflies in the stomach, a motivation to move, participate in life. Our energy may feel higher; we might laugh more easily.

I’ve seen inward joy and outward joy mix with a range of other emotions in breathwork.

When we’re fully present to what our bodies want to feel, we have more capacity to move through the whole spectrum of emotions.

By letting challenging emotions arise, we create more space to feel those uplifting emotions.

Find your joy ⭐️
