Silvertree Wellness 🥰

Just wanted to share some love,

I love holding my monthly breathwork group at
SilverTree Wellness Studio.

it’s such a beautiful experience.
The space has a calm, welcoming energy that allows people to instantly slow down, settle into themselves, and the experience laid out.

The studio is thoughtfully created, peaceful, and nurturing.

Every person who attends comments on how held and supported they feel the moment they walk through the door.

I’m so blessed to share Breathwork Bliss here each month. Silvertree is truly a special space for anyone looking to reconnect, restore, and experience wellbeing.

Breathwork is like butterfly wisdom:
expand into your light. 🦋

The most beautiful part of 1:1 breathwork is witnessing what happens after release.

After the tears.
After the tension softens.
After the nervous system finally exhales.

There is space.
in that space,
people often meet themselves again.

Not the version shaped by fear.
Not the one built around survival.

But the truest version underneath.
I see people reconnect with joy they thought was gone.

I watch clarity return.
I witness the moment someone remembers:

This is who I am beneath the story.

This is what the butterfly teaches us.

Emergence isn’t becoming someone new.

It is revealing who was always there.

The breath creates the conditions for this remembering.

Each conscious breath creates space.

More freedom.
More connection.
More truth.

You do not need to force your wings open.

You simply need enough safety, space, time to unfold.

And when that happens, your light doesn’t need chasing.

It naturally shines.

Keep breathing.
The tunnel always leads to the light.

STEP 6 - EMBODIMENT 🦋

There comes a moment when healing is no longer something you visit.

It becomes something you live by.

This is embodiment.

The moment breath is no longer just a practice…

It becomes your way of being.

The butterfly does not return to the cocoon to prove it has transformed.

It simply flies.

Softly.

Naturally.

Fully trusting what it has become.

This is what breathwork gives us.

Not just release.

Not just awareness.

But a new way of living.

A way of meeting life with presence instead of panic.

Trust instead of fear.

Breath instead of bracing.

This is where the journey was always leading.

Not toward becoming someone else.

But toward fully inhabiting yourself.

Your body.

Your truth.

Your light.

And this is the greatest wisdom the butterfly offers:

Transformation is not the destination.

Living as who you have become is.

So breathe deeply.

Take up space.

Open your wings.

And trust the life waiting to meet you there.

You were never broken.

You were always becoming.

And now—

you get to fly. 🦋💫

Transformation - transiting, change 🦋

There comes a moment in every healing journey when something shifts.

Not because we forced it.
Not because we chased it.

Not because we fought hard enough to make it happen.

But because we stayed.
We breathed.
We trusted.

We gave ourselves enough space for change to arrive naturally.

This is transformation.
often, it does not arrive loudly.
It arrives quietly.

As a softer response to something that once triggered you.
A slower breath where panic once lived.
A moment of peace in a place that once felt unsafe.
A deep knowing that something old has finally loosened its grip.

This is what I witness so often in myself and in the people I work with.

The transformation rarely looks dramatic from the outside.

But inside…

Entire worlds are rearranging.

The nervous system is learning a new rhythm.

The body is remembering safety.

The mind is releasing old survival stories it no longer needs to carry.

And suddenly, what once felt impossible begins to feel natural.

This is butterfly wisdom.

The butterfly does not emerge as the same being it once was.

It has dissolved.
Rebuilt.
Reorganised itself completely.

Its transformation happened in stillness, long before the wings were ever seen.

Breathwork mirrors this beautifully.

So much of our transformation happens beneath the surface.

Quietly.
Unseen.

While we wonder if anything is changing at all.

But every conscious breath is reshaping something within.

Every pause teaches the body trust.

Every moment of presence rewires what survival once taught.

And one day, you notice:

You are no longer reacting the same way.
You are no longer carrying the same fear.
You are no longer becoming who you were.
You have become someone new.

Not because you changed who you are…

But because you returned to who you were before survival taught you to shrink.

This is transformation.

No need to become more.
But uncovering what was always there.
So if your becoming feels slow…

Keep breathing.

If your wings still feel fragile…

Keep breathing.

If you cannot yet see the change…

Keep breathing.
Transformation is already happening.
when the time is right,
you will rise.

Not as who you were—

but as who you were always becoming. 🦋

This completes the arc beautifully.

The final step after this — if you want to close the full butterfly series — would be:

✨STEP FIVE — BEING GENTLE ✨

be kind
Slow down
Arrive at a softer place for yourself

My own practice this week brought an old story to the surface. 🦋

That familiar state of high alert…

Waiting.
Sensing.
Scanning.

Has something gone wrong?
Is something about to happen to me?
Am I safe in this moment?

As I breathed into the feeling, my body took me back to a time when this story was once true.

A time when life didn’t feel grounded, safe, or steady.

The breath has a way of guiding us back — not to relive, but to reconnect.

To remind.

To stay present enough for the body to finally feel safe.

As I stayed with it, breathing and noticing, I became deeply aware of the sensations moving through me.

My chest felt hollow.

My breath was short.

My mind and eyes felt heavy, fixed, focused.

My tummy was tight.

I could feel the fear.

And as I stayed there, I said to myself:

I’ve got you, Christine.

I get to take care of you now.

I am here with you.

I love you.

It felt like I was parenting myself.

And so we breathed together.

And then something softened.

My mind began to release.

And for the first time inside that memory, I felt complete awareness of my body.

I could feel the shock.

The alertness.

The hyper-sensitivity.

Even my tongue was vibrating.

I stayed there for a while, soothing my inner child and letting her know:

You are safe.

You are loved.

You are wanted.

Over the weekend, I felt a deep desire to rest.

To create pockets of space.

To keep feeling.

To keep accepting.

To keep loving what was arising rather than trying to change it.

And slowly, space began to open.

Waves of ideas started landing like butterflies. 🦋💫

Little pieces of wisdom arriving softly.

And in that space came truth:

Healing is layered.

Like an onion, there are many layers to release.

We get to choose what we continue carrying and what we are finally ready to let go of.

It takes time for the body to release hyper-vigilance.

Trust.

Love.

Connection.

Healthy rest.

These create the safety the nervous system needs to soften its grip.

Space releases attachment.

Downtime allows old stories to disconnect.

Breath creates the space.

And sometimes the greatest healing is simply reminding yourself:

You are doing the best you can.

So I keep breathing.

I keep allowing the breath to move me through the tunnel…

and into the light.

Healing isn’t linear.

It comes and goes like a butterfly, until we release our own energetic attachment to what once needed to protect us. 🦋

can you see the butterfly on my top? 😍☺️

This is where butterfly wisdom was born for me.

Nature became my teacher.

Give yourself space to emerge 🦋

One of the deepest truths I’ve discovered through my own breathwork practice is this:

Healing cannot be rushed.

There have been seasons where I wanted answers quickly.

I wanted the discomfort gone.

I wanted to understand what was surfacing so I could move through it faster.

But the breath has taught me something gentler.

Transformation asks for space.

The butterfly cannot rush its wings into flight.

Before it can fly, it will soften first.

Struggle.

Strengthen.

Patience.

Time.

if we try to force that process, we interrupt the very thing that is preparing it to rise- your body is intelligent, healing takes time.

I see this so often in myself and in the people I work with.

We can feel something uncomfortable arise and immediately want to fix it.

We want clarity now.

Relief now.

Healing now.

But often what the body needs most is not force.

It is space.

Space to feel without judgement.

Space to pause without needing answers.

Space to let the nervous system settle enough to remember safety.

This is where emergence begins.

Not in pushing.

Not in performing healing.

But in allowing.

Allowing the breath to move gently through the places that have been holding on for so long.

Allowing the body to soften at its own pace.

Allowing trust to grow in the quiet spaces we often avoid.

Because healing is not always dramatic.

Sometimes it is subtle.

A deeper breath.

A softer jaw.

A quieter mind.

A moment where the body realises:

I am safe enough to let go now.

This is butterfly wisdom.

The struggle is not punishment.

It is preparation.

The stillness is not emptiness.

It is becoming.

And your breath creates the safe space your nervous system needs to heal.

So if you feel like nothing is happening…

Pause.

Breathe.

Trust the unseen work unfolding within you.

You do not need to force your wings open.

You only need to keep breathing.

The tunnel always leads to the light. 🦋

✨STEP FOUR- GIVING YOURSELF SPACE TO LOVE YOU AND YOUR EXPERIENCE
YOR LIFE ONE MOMENT AT A TIME✨

Question - ask yourself, how can I begin to love myself where I am today?

What does my self love look like ?

How do I gift myself my own love daily, weekly?

How do I be kind to myself?

Healing isn’t linear.

It moves in layers.

Sometimes we believe we’ve “dealt with” something, only for it to rise again.

Not because we’ve gone backwards,
but because we’ve created enough safety to meet the next layer.

This week, my own breathwork practice brought an old pattern to the surface:

That familiar feeling of high alert…
waiting, sensing, scanning…
“Has something gone wrong?”

As I breathed into it, my body took me back to a time when this story was once true.

And as I stayed with my breath, something softened.

My mind released.
My body found rest.

I soothed the younger part of me and reminded her:

You are safe.
You are loved.
You are wanted.

And in the spaciousness that followed, truth arrived:

Healing takes time.

The body releases hypervigilance when it feels safe enough to let go.

Breath creates that space.
Rest deepens it.
Trust expands it.

Layer by layer, we release what we no longer need to carry.

Keep breathing.

The tunnel always leads to light. 🦋

✨ A Day to Exhale, Connect & Remember Who You Are ✨

This year I’m so honoured to be volunteering at the beautiful Women’s Festival at Cherry Orchard Farm 🌿

A space created for women to gather, breathe, soften, laugh, heal and reconnect.

Away from the noise of daily life, this is your invitation to pause…
To ground into nature.
To reconnect with your body.
To feel held in community with like-hearted women.

Expect a day of:

🌸 Deep connection
🌿 Nourishing workshops
💫 Healing spaces
🎶 Music & movement
🫶 Community & belonging
✨ Space to simply be

There is something powerful that happens when women gather intentionally.

The nervous system settles.
The heart opens.
The body remembers safety.
And something inside begins to bloom again.

I’ll be there volunteering and holding space, and I’d love to see some familiar faces join this beautiful experience.
