In the quiet hush of the final lunation of the Year of the Wood Snake, we gathered for Acu-Gong 🜃🜂

A gentle weaving of acupuncture and sound, held as a ceremonial pause between cycles.

A time for shedding skins.
For listening inward.
For letting the body’s deeper intelligence recalibrate.

As fine needles opened subtle pathways, waves of frequency moved through bone, breath, and nervous system - softening what was ready to fall away and kindling intention without force.

Before the momentum of the Fire Horse,
we softened the soil.
We rested.
We received.

Grateful for this shared threshold,
for presence, sweetness, and courage, and for moving forward aligned, spacious, and ready to meet what’s next with clarity and heart.

We next gather on Friday March 27th and booking is open now ⭕️

Our upcoming Acu-Gong ceremony is a super special one as we prepare to welcome the Chinese New Year next month — a transformational moment as we move from the gentle, introspective energy of the Wood Snake into the dynamic, passionate force of the Fire Horse.

The Wood Snake invited us inward: to reflect, to heal, to shed old skins.

In contrast, the Fire Horse brings movement, courage, and creative ignition — a time to take inspired action and ride forward with clarity and confidence.

Our Acu-Gong evening on 23/01/26 is designed to mark this shift with intention.
�Through restorative acupuncture and the deep resonance of gongs and crystal bowls, we’ll release what no longer aligns and prepare the body and spirit for what’s about to unfold.

Come gather with us in ritual, reflection, and renewal.

🗓️ Friday January 23rd
⏰ 7pm - 9.15pm
📍 Seagrave LE12

�Let’s welcome the Fire Horse together — grounded, energised, and ready. 🔥

Amidst the sleet and the cold we gathered in Sound at to open up 2026 in resonance and vibration.

Thank you to those who came out of warm homes and from work to make time for themselves to recalibrate, realign and restore. Your presence is always magical here ✨

It was a special joy to still have the extra fairy lights of the tree in the space - did you know that historically decorations and greenery remained until imbolc to help retain the magic and ritual through January’s cold darkness?

We next gather on Feb 3rd and bookings are open until June at this always popular venue… Grab your space and time now ✨

🌿 New chapter for Mindfulness at Shuttlewood Clarke — Starting next week 🌿

I’m very happy to share that I’ll be taking over the mindfulness drop-in sessions at Shuttlewood Clarke Foundation, beginning next week.

Mindfulness has been part of my life for over 20 years and an integral part of my psychotherapy practice for the past 14.

These twice-monthly drop-in sessions are open to everyone — whether you’re completely new to mindfulness or returning to a practice you’d like to refresh and deepen.

Sessions include guided practices, gentle reflection, and shared inquiry, all held in a non-judgemental, supportive space. This isn’t about fixing or striving — it’s about learning to meet life with more kindness, steadiness, and clarity.

🗓 When: 2nd & last Thursdays of the month
⏰ Time: 11.30–12.30pm
📍 Where: Manor House, Shuttlewood Clarke Foundation
✨ First session: Thursday 15th

You’re welcome to attend regularly or simply drop in when it feels right. I’m really looking forward to beginning this next chapter and practising together.

Space is limited so pre-booking is recommended with directly. I’ll add the link in comments and stories 🥰

While January marks the Gregorian calendar turning, nature is still in winter time.

Other cycles are quietly at work — February brings a quickening, and the true turning of the Wheel comes at the Spring Equinox, when light and life rebalance.

For now, we’re in the incubator: a season of rest, rooting, and unseen growth. If you feel slower or more inward, you’re in rhythm.

There’s no rush — clarity and strength are gathering, and movement will come naturally with spring…

As we settle into the slow days between Christmas and New Year, many of us begin thinking about how we want to start the year ahead — with more balance, more calm, more intention.

If you’d like to make mindfulness part of your life in 2026, our 8-week Finding Peace in a Frantic World course begins this January.

You’ll learn:
• Practical tools to reduce stress and overwhelm
• How to step out of autopilot and live more mindfully
• Ways to respond to challenges with clarity instead of reactivity
• Short, accessible practices you can use every day

Live weekly sessions, guided meditations, home practice, and group support — everything you need to build a sustainable mindfulness habit that truly lasts.

If you’re ready to begin the year with steadiness and presence, you can find out more and reserve your space here:

Wishing you a peaceful transition into the new year…

As this year draws to a close, I’ve been sitting with the quiet power of gratitude — pausing to acknowledge what has been shared, shaped, and grown.

A deep bow of thanks to each of you who has found your way into this work. Through sound, mindfulness, hypnobirthing, counselling and hypnotherapy, you have met these spaces with presence and trust.

Whether newly arrived or long established, thank you for saying yes — to the practice, to the pause, to yourself.

It is a true privilege and joy to hold space for your healing and unfolding. This work is alive — it breathes and evolves — and I’m deeply grateful for your support as it continues to deepen and expand.

I can already feel the Fire Horse energy stirring, ready to gallop toward new offerings in 2026. And for now, this moment asks for slowness and quiet listening — tending the embers before the flames rise.

With so much reverence for this community and all we are becoming together 🤍

✨ Yule Circle Reflections ✨

Last night we gathered in the deep dark of Winter to honour Yule — the pause, the stillness, and the quiet promise of returning light. 🕯️🌲

There was ritual and reverence, frankincense smoke and citrus sweetness, song and silence.

We sat with the paradox of this season — endings and beginnings woven together — allowing ourselves to be held by the circle, by the Earth, and by the turning of the Wheel.

Each Yule wand carried its own medicine: cedar for protection and hope, orange and cinnamon for warmth, abundance and renewal.

Aroma wands carried the mystical reverence of ancient practice, anointing those present before settling into alchemical transmutation with the frequencies of Sound.

Intentions were whispered, prayers offered, and the light was welcomed home again.

I am so deeply grateful for every soul who showed up with open hearts, tenderness, and trust. Thank you for sharing your presence, your breath, and your magic. May the seeds planted last night continue to unfold gently through the coming cycle. 🌙✨

Blessed Yule. Blessed rebirth.
