The Dias Hill Sanctuary ✨️ Neuroscience meets spiritual alchemy
💔 Tired of living in survival mode? DM to talk 1:1 The dancing, reiki loving, neuroscientist - Lara Dias Hill.

At The Dias Hill Sanctuary we seek to create a space for people and animals to come to feel supported, have a sense of normality and leave feeling empowered. I'm currently studying Neuroscience at University of Bristol and am a reiki therapist. Upon graduation I aim to combine the two, to blend science and holistic therapies. I adore animals and part of my own healing journey has come from welcomi

ng in two beautiful dogs into our family. Their compassion and zest for life has taught me so much. At the moment we currently offering reiki treatments and meditation sessions and will be expanding our therapy suite very soon.

On my quest to recover from burnout and calm my nervous system down.

I've spent most of my month off observing more and doing less. But what does that actually mean?

✅️ Asking and allowing others to help me
✅️ No directed goals other than doing what my body needs in the moment. I have slept so much and left plans early when in pain or exhausted, instead of struggling on.
✅️ Putting my phone down, not constantly working and being available.
✅️ Feeling anxious, then thinking back a few steps and noticing what I had been doing, who I was around and what time it was. I noticed that standing in one specific area of my dining room gives me heart palpitations - where I used to keep my day job work laptop.
✅️ Sitting in nature every day, for hours. My mind is best outside. I have been given the chance to day dream, to look at but not heavily analyse my thoughts. It's been interesting, not always comfortable.

I still have a long way to go in recovery. I've realised it wasn't a case of losing myself or not knowing who I am or what I want. I've always been quite sure of that. It was more about giving far too much to others and just existing in my own world. I wasn't nurturing my beautiful life. A life I battled so hard to get.

So May will be filled with not just existing but actually living.

The Gap Year Grimoire

#43 Watch the sunrise on a hill

5am alarm was well worth it. Coffee on the hill with my Buddy.

Felt like waking up in a jungle with the birds singing all around us.

I could say loads of things about taking a moment to be still, feeling like we were in on a secret that noone else knew about or the world was so calm.

BUT for me the highlight was twatting about with my Buddy. We sat up on that hill and laughed, stalked delivery drivers and spoke about life being s**t and also beautiful at the same time.

Now for pancakes and dog cuddles.

You are born looking like your parents and you die looking like your decisions - Jeff Ezell

I heard this on a podcast this morning and it really resonated.

I took this picture yesterday and I look tired. Grey hairs showing, bags for days, dark circles shining. However, this is the face of the decisions I have been making recently. I gave my all to a cause so I could make others feel important and seen. I dont regret it, I never will. Now, I choose to recover for the next month and focus on my joy.

When my time is up I want to skid into my grave whooping and cheering. I lived, I embraced every moment, I said yes, I said no, I took time to watch the birds, I 6am kitchen raved with my dogs and I loved my tribe as hard as I could.

We are given this chance, one we didnt ask for but, here we are.

My life has not been easy, Im surprised I made it to 28. Recently, it's been a s**t show, BUT I will continue on my mission to spread happiness and joy because that is my choice.

Make one tiny decision to bring a little sparkle to your day. Pick the good mug, take the route to work with the beautiful view, hug your loved one for 5 seconds longer, smile and say hello to the cows, do whatever brings you joy.

What are you choosing today?

In our latest podcast episode, we sit down with Deborah Peaceful from Positively Healing, a sound & energy healer, massage therapist and psychic medium, to explore healing beyond the surface.

From the power of sound healing instruments to grounding rituals before and after sessions, this conversation dives deep into what it truly means to reconnect, reset, and realign.

We also talk meditation, intention, and how simple daily practices can support your healing journey and protection.

Debs is such a beautiful person and it was an absolute pleasure to get to chat to her.

Life has been pretty serious recently for one reason or another.

Get yourself a partner that sends you photos of you as a giant rabbit to remind you to find the joy in life.

In 10 years time will it matter?

All you can control is you. How you behave. How you treat others. How you show love.

So today I share with you, me as a giant Easter Bunny because life is fun and someone out there cares enough to remind you.

Comment with your silly photos or ones that show the joy in life.

This is what happens when I try to get just 20 mins to myself to meditate.

2 mins in, eyes closed, could feel wet breathing on my face. Had weird visions just before of fingers coming out at me, goat men watching me and bison with red eyes.

Slightly hesitant to open my eyes to see whats breathing on me, as these visions were pretty screwed up. Decide I should open 1 eye.

I let out a huge scream as I see a dark eye staring at me, mms from my face. This is is, Im about to get attacked by a demon. Turns out Misha was standing over me, watching me meditate. The little sh*t.

Now Misha on the foot stool, Bodhi on the opposite sofa and myself are all freaked out and flapping because Ive scared us all with my scream 🤣🤣🤣

Bodhi comes running over to sit on me, Misha is trying to push her out of the way. Both girls piling on me on a single chair with tails whacking me, standing on my head and kicking me in the chest.

At this point its just easier to all settle together. This is how I meditated.

So much for calming my nervous system....

We celebrated the Spring Equinox by planting herbs, sun bathing and making biscuits.

The balance between the light and the dark, the coming of spring and the feeling of hope.

How do you feel after someone tells you they love you or that you look cute today?

Well, the images below show the difference.

My husband told me to go stand in front of the tree to get a photo as he thought my outfit was nice. When I looked back at the images, I noticed a huge difference.... Between the 2 photos, he told me he loved me and that I was looking really cute.

Before - Awkward smile, grabbing onto my arms for dear life, wanting to be anywhere but in front of the camera

After - Playful, less awkward, genuine glow and smile

Our words matter. They have weight.

Be authentic and speak your truth, but remember how powerful what you say is. You can be honest, but you dont have to be nasty. This goes for how we speak to ourselves too.

Show a little kindness to someone today. Tell them you like their shoes or jewellery (only if you mean it). Call up your loved ones and tell them you love them.

What does healing actually mean to you?

In this episode, I sit down with Erin Stewart, who works across housing, charity, and mental health.

From her background in developmental psychology to frontline work in adult mental health, Erin shares real insights into what healing looks like beyond the buzzwords.

We also get into a powerful conversation around men’s mental health:

Are men being overlooked?
Has the narrative shifted too far?
And why are more men turning to the manosphere?

This is an honest, thought-provoking episode about healing, identity, and what people really need right now.
