This plant was a housewarming gift when we first moved to holywood.
⠀
To be honest, it wasn’t a plant I would’ve chosen. Often it looks drab and lifeless, just kind of there.
But over the years, we have bonded - she’s blooms around this time of year. (Samhain 😉✨)
Slowly she started to flourish. And now that I know how beautiful she can be when in bloom, I appreciate her through all the other seasons ;the quieter ones, when she doesn’t look like much on the surface.
⠀
reminds me of myself ✨
⠀
It’s taken me years to feel truly at home here — not just in this house, but in myself. Like this plant, I’ve learned that I’m not always meant to be in full bloom. There are seasons of stillness and rest, and those are just as important. Because when the time is right, the blossoms are worth it.
⠀
also she makes me think of many clients whos transformations I’ve witnessed
⠀
Sometimes, when someone first comes to me, they’re already in their blooming stage 💫radiant, curious, ready to grow even more.
But often, I meet people when they’re in a quieter season — when they can sense there’s more available in life, even if they can’t quite see it yet.
⠀
What I love most about my work is witnessing that transformation — watching as, session by session, more of their true self starts to show.
With trust, consistency, and vulnerability, I get to see them bloom in their own time. It’s such a privilege.
I explain it to students that if we really pay attention, we can get to see more of the client with each session.
⠀
So having this plant in my workspace right now, in full bloom, feels like a reflection of that ✨a beautiful reminder of growth, patience, and the power of nurturing what’s beneath the surface. 🌿✨

Delight

“A strong feeling of great pleasure, joy, or satisfaction.”

When was the last time you thought about delight?

What delights you?

What we focus on, we get more of, so let me suggest you start catching the wee sprinkles of delight in your life and paying attention 💚
(You can thank me later 😂).

I’m off work this morning as I’m on tonight, and this little change to my “normal” routine makes it so easy to spot my delight.

Delight doesn’t need to be big or showy. What delights me might even have the opposite effect on you. It’s personal. It’s changeable. And that’s the beauty of delight 🌟

It’s not something to hide, dim, or keep secret…
Maybe thats a Northern Irish ☘️ thing…?

Sometimes there can be a bit of fear in really feeling delight ;
Never mind celebrating it 🙌🏽
Maybe our parents didn’t mirror it for us.
Personally, I used to have a wee voice in my head whispering:
“Who does she think she is?” 🫣
or
“Well, it’s all right for her…”
As until I could really embody my own delight I found other people’s to be triggering.

I’ve found it’s my delight that fuels me to show up in service. It’s because I’m connected to my delight that I can celebrate yours. It’s my delight that carries me through the darker moments of this crazy world ☺️

So whether it’s catching a wee shimmer of something delightful or planning a full-on afternoon of pleasure…

Take this as your sign to notice delight in your day 🪧☺️😉 🦋

🌬️ What do I Actually Do ✨

it’s not always easy to explain.

At its heart, my work is about holding space energetically. That can look very different for each person:
💫 A breathwork journey — not gentle yogic breathing, but deep, activated breathwork that can bring profound release and healing in the body.
💫 Energy balancing and clearing — realigning the chakras, calming the nervous system, and helping you come home to yourself.
💫 A safe space to rest, be seen, and feel nourished.
💫 Mentoring and training other therapists — supporting them as they grow in their work with others.

Just last week, my clients ranged from overworked students, to burnt-out mums needing a “pit stop” to reconnect, to businessmen seeking grounding and clarity (about a third of my clients these days are men 🌿).

Most people find me through word of mouth, and I’m deeply proud of that. I trust that those who are meant to work with me will find me 💛.

Every session is unique, but my intention is always the same: to support you in reconnecting with your energy, your breath, and your own inner wisdom. ✨

And while I adore this work and the amazing souls I hold space for, my most important work is within myself & my home.

Beyond my practice, I’m also:
🌱 Mum to 4 boys
💍 Wife to Graham
🐶🐶🐶 Dog mum x3 + 🐈 Cat mum x1
🌸 Gardener-in-training
📚 Daily reader
🧘 Yoga lover
🏋️ Strength training newbie
🐝 Beekeeper in the making
💫 Essential oil queen

What I’m most grateful for: my health & wellness, the freedom to enjoy a healthy work–life balance, my supportive husband, being in bed by 9:30pm (when I can!), and the privilege of sitting with others without needing to be anything other than myself.

This is me — a mix of healer, guide, teacher, mum, and forever student of life. 💛

Today is officially the last day of my month off work…

Graham retired at the start of July so I wanted to be more available for the first 4 weeks incase he found the shift difficult… but actually it’s been a breeze ✨

My month off has flown by, I have definitely missed my regular clients.

The weather has been great for a staycation.
I’ve worked out most days, I’ve spent time daily in the garden, cooked more from scratch, I’ve had a good few afternoon naps , I’ve been in a number of coffee shops, I’ve read lots. I even took myself out for dinner alone a night ( jumon in Belfast )

I’m back to work on Saturday afternoon & I am totally feeling the benefits of the extended time off.

I’m very grateful to say that August is fully booked but there is still lots of availability in September.

Here is the link to book online.
https://elainejohnston.co.uk/offerings/

I have a few breathwork groups coming up. Including a men’s group but I haven’t got round to putting them online yet. As the admin part of being self employed is my least favourite 🥴 I’ll get that all up online next week.

Big love
Elaine 💚

28 years married tomorrow ❣️

I love the life we have created together. I love what a good team we are. I love that tomorrow on our anniversary Graham is heading off on a men’s retreat. 💪🏾I love that no matter what’s going on in life, Grahams love and support for our family is consistent. ⚓️
I love that he bought amble tickets for our anniversary and was that excited he told me last week 🤣 I love that I get to do life & raise 4 men with a man that I am proud to call my husband 💫

Last night I took 2 photos … & one was of myself 😊 as Derv asked , “what are you wearing ?”🤣

Thank you to everyone who came along with their beautiful open minds and open hearts ♥️
I am so very grateful for you 🙏

30 of us , gathering to connect with what the divine feminine means to us.
Interestingly we spontaneously closed the evening, with a poem by the divine masculine…

For a New Beginning
by John O’Donohue

In out-of-the-way places of the heart,
Where your thoughts never think to wander,
This beginning has been quietly forming,
Waiting until you were ready to emerge.

For a long time it has watched your desire,
Feeling the emptiness growing inside you,
Noticing how you willed yourself on,
Still unable to leave what you had outgrown.

It watched you play with the seduction of safety
And the gray promises that sameness whispered,
Heard the waves of turmoil rise and relent,
Wondered would you always live like this.

Then the delight, when your courage kindled,
And out you stepped onto new ground,
Your eyes young again with energy and dream,
A path of plenitude opening before you.

Though your destination is not yet clear
You can trust the promise of this opening;
Unfurl yourself into the grace of beginning
That is at one with your life’s desire.

Awaken your spirit to adventure;
Hold nothing back, learn to find ease in risk;
Soon you will be home in a new rhythm,
For your soul senses the world that awaits you.

💚💚

Today touches something deep in my heart.

I don’t usually mark feast days—but July 22, the Feast of Saint Mary Magdalene, has always felt different. Sacred. Important.

Growing up in church, even as a child, I remember thinking:
Why is it always men?

Jesus. The disciples. The voices, the power—it was always male.

Mother Mary was holy because she was a virgin.
Mary Magdalene? Branded a pr******te.

Deep down, I knew something wasn’t right.

And the more I sought truth—not what I was told, but what I felt—the more I uncovered.

Mary Magdalene wasn’t a fallen woman. She was a disciple. A teacher. A leader.

Ancient texts found in Egypt like the Gospel of Mary affirm her sacred wisdom. Her voice was never lost , only buried.

And I know, as a woman, how hard it is to become what you’ve never seen.

When we aren’t shown ourselves in sacred spaces, how do we know we belong there?

For generations of girls, growing up in a world that erased the divine feminine.

Today is for all the women who were silenced, disempowered, hurt.

Today is for remembering, reclaiming, and rising.

We honour her. We honour each other.
We honour the divine feminine that lives in us all.

This day isn’t just about history it’s a return to ourselves.

To our strength.
To our softness.
To our sacred power and our magic. ✨

I couldn’t fit all of it into words here—but if you feel this too, you already know.

Happy Feast Day, Saint Mary Magdalene.

Photos from France from a pilgrimage I went on to learn more about Mary , the learning came in huge big lessons that may be for another post in the future. 😉

I’m sitting in the garden, halfway through my month off work, I’ve slowed down so much. I’ve been doing all the little things I love just living more gently, more presently.

right now, I’m surrounded by butterflies four, five flitting around the garden . It’s magical.

And I can’t help but think: they’re here because we made a safe space for them.

I remember the first time I found out that products harmful to the environment could be bought in B&Q and places like it ! That blew my mind. I naively thought, Why would something be on a shop shelf if it could harm the bees 🐝 and butterflies🦋 ? How could it be that I could just walk in, lift something off the shelf, and unknowingly bring harm into my environment ?

Of course, now I know better. But I can remember that moment of realization so clearly. It hit little naive me hard.

And I realised that I have to take ownership of what I use in my garden, what I put in my home & into & on my body.

I can’t just be passive. It’s my responsibility to learn, to choose better, to care enough.

So many things in life are like this aren’t they ?
We grow up thinking certain things are just ‘normal’ because everyone else does them or because they are sold to us.

Alcohol for one ; Its sold as the way to relax to celebrate to socialise. But that’s a lie - sure it’s toxic in most family’s.

We live in a time where we have access to so much information. We can open our eyes, open our minds, and choose differently. And when we do, when we strip out what’s toxic, when we stop buying into things that don’t align with truth or care then we make safer spaces.

for the butterflies 🦋 to come

for new beginnings 😉

I’ve been seeing clients and hosting groups from my 🏡 first back in Newtownards then here for 13 years now. And this July, for the first time, I’ve felt a deep pull to co-host a group outside of my home.

of course, my home has always represented my comfort zone so this feels in some ways like a stepping out / stepping up
For me.

We only posted about it yesterday… and I woke up this morning to 7 beautiful souls already booked in.
I’m honestly having a moment of deep appreciation. 🧡

I never, ever take a single booking for granted—whether it’s a 1:1, a group, or a reiki training.

To know that someone sees value in what I offer, and chooses to invest their time and money with me… it’s something I’ll never take for granted.

With so many amazing offerings out there, and so many ways people can spend their time and energy, I’m genuinely humbled every time someone says yes to my work.

So from the bottom of my heart—thank you, thank you, thank you.
For every booking. Every word of encouragement. Every referral.
To this beautiful community that has evolved… thank you.

It’s an honour to call this my work.

Feeling bright & light in my yellow , I’m off to a healthy baking workshop now 🤗Hope you have a wonderful Sunday what ever you are up to

✨ Today’s group breathwork session touched something deep in my heart.

One woman joined us for her very first breathwork journey—and shared that she’s approaching her 60th birthday.

At the end, she spoke so openly with the group. She’s lived through a lot, and she spoke with such grace and quiet power about how important it is to gather like this.

To take this time.
To give ourselves permission.
And most importantly—to not feel guilty.

She reminded us how essential it is to come together in community—for truth, for honesty, for vulnerability.

Her words felt like a download straight from the heart. I wish I could bottle that energy and share it with you here. I’m paraphrasing, but the feeling of her words has stayed with me.

In honour of that, I want to share my next breathwork offering with you:

🌿 I’ll be co-hosting this session with my dear friend Dearbhla Reynolds a gifted local kinesiologist (or as my husband affectionately calls her, another one of the “Holywood witches” 💫—his highest form of praise).

We’re coming together to create something really special—for anyone who feels the call to be held in sacred space.

🗓 Tue , 22nd July
🕯 Evening session
📍 Link below to book

Come be with us.
Come be with you.

With love, always,
Elaine 💚
