Hey all,
I hope you are well and looking after yourselves.
I am so excited to introduce something special that I've been working on to help you achieve profound shifts in your wellbeing. As a registered mental health nurse of 15 years; with experience across all aspects of mental and physical health, I know that sometimes you need a focused, intensive approach to kickstart real progress and it needs to be realistic and practical to be sustainable.
That's why I'm launching 3 brand new services!
For your convenience I have developed 2 offers which you can complete in your own time and from anywhere.
⭐Listen to me- Imagine having a custom recording, created just for you based on a simple questionnaire. This is a truly unique way to support your specific goals, whether it's for relaxation,stress reduction, sleep, confidence, esteem, anxiety, habit change or anything else.
⭐Tap along with me-Got a specific issue you want to tackle? My new Emotional Freedom Techniques videos are designed for that! You can watch them at your convenience and tap along with me, guiding you through a powerful process to address a single problem.
And for those that need a more in depth option and would benefit from 1:1 support.....
⭐Sit with me- wellbeing Intensives! Think of these as a powerful, extended sessions designed to get to the heart of what you need. Each intensive includes: Comprehensive Assessment, Personalised Advice as well as Targeted Therapeutic Interventions.
These are perfect as a one-off reset or as a starting point for ongoing support. Imagine the clarity and progress you could make in just one extended session!
These offers are all about giving you powerful, tailored support on your journey to greater wellbeing.
If you want to know more please drop me a message, WhatsApp is preferred as messenger is still playing up (sorry I am not ignoring anyone).

Hey all,
I hope everyone is well and taking care of themselves (especially in the heat).
I cannot believe it has been a year since I hosted my very first full weekend wellbeing retreat!
It feels like just yesterday that 15 incredible women gathered together, fully committing to their self-care journeys and trusting me to facilitate and hold space for them. It was such a special event, bringing together everything I'd been practicing over the years, and honestly, it was the spark that ignited my private practice!
Since then, things have gone from strength to strength, and I've truly embraced the path I believe I'm meant to be on. Finding that balance between my work and private life has been key, and I've met some of the most amazing people along the way.
I'm so excited about what's next!
Keep an eye out in the coming days, as I'll be sharing some new offerings that I can't wait to introduce. I'm looking forward to supporting even more of you on your wellbeing journeys!
Unfortunately I don't have many pictures from the retreat but I hope you will appreciate the sentiment.

Ps, I know it's not the greatest pic, I actually didn't take any the whole weekend!

Hey all,
I hope that everyone is well and taking care of themselves.
I have been at the Ashram for just over a month already and what an experience it has been. I have met so many amazing and inspirational people from staying here and continue to be blown away.
The typical day begins at 6:30am with morning meditation, we then have breakfast and there is yoga available to attend if we wish, then there is usually a program of different teachings from holy text, philosophy etc this weekend I took part in a trauma recovery retreat, a couple of weekends ago was an Ayurvedic retreat, we also had a book launch and yoga day, we spend the days doing typical household tasks, cooking and cleaning together often in meditative states and then each evening there is something different on from fire or moon ceremonies, parliament, teachings, mantra, Sanskrit lessons, Kirtan etc there is always something. At 9pm we go into silence.
We have access to a huge library of different books from different aspects, religion, science, psychology, health.
Last week we ventured out together and did an escape room which was hilarious.
I am very thankful for the time I have spent here, the people I have met and the practices I have been able to commit to, it has all helped remind me of what is really important, why I do what I do and where I want to be going in future. I am still here for now but I will be starting to take on more private work now that I am into a routine so please feel free to drop me a message, I am pretty flexible. I will also be posting some relatively new offerings in the next few days which I hope you will benefit from.
Take care,

Morning all,
I hope everyone is well and taking care of themselves.
I have just come across this link for Mens health strategy survey and wanted to share. It is very important that everyone accesses support when they need too and with men less likely to seek help with mental health and physical health we need to support the initiatives to help raise awareness and also map out services that will specifically support men's health issues, please share with the men in your lives and let them know it's ok (gentle does it) to ask for help.

Your voice matters 📢

Yesterday as part of Men's Health Week we outlined why we need a UK Men's Health Strategy. Now it's your chance to have your say.

The Government has opened a Call for Evidence in England: a national survey asking men and those who care for them to share their experiences of the healthcare system.

This is your chance to shape how men’s health is treated in the future, from education on health risks, dismantling stigmas that prevent men from seeking help, or training clinicians in men’s health.

If you’re over 16 and living in England, please take 10 minutes to fill it in: https://consultations.dhsc.gov.uk/mens-health-strategy

The survey closes mid-July 2025. Together, we can create a better healthcare system 🙌

Morning all,
I hope everyone is well and looking after themselves,
I completely forgot to mention last week that my website is now LIVE .....

https://presentlyme.com/

Anyone that knows me will know how much I hate technology so this was a big, stressful piece of work but with the support and commitment from the amazing RJH Virtual Assistant it was made so much easier. I cannot thank Rosie enough.

And to everyone else for continuing to support me 🙏🏻
On my website you can find an outline of the services I offer as well as a booking page, and some of the articles I have written.

I will be adding the virtual resources I've been working on there too so please check it out, also if any of you are happy to pilot some of my resources please let me know or if there are specific topics you would be interested in please let me know.
Take care,

Hey all,
I hope that everyone is well and looking after themselves.

I am very mindful that it is mental health awareness month and I have not actually posted anything, shame on me! However, as per my previous post, I have been taking a short break and focussing on my own health and wellbeing and figured what better way to promote mental health awareness than to practice what I preach and take care of myself.

So here are some of the things I have been doing over the last few weeks while travelling to support myself,
🌊Spending more time in nature- rice fields, jungle, waterfalls, sea.
🗺️Exploring new places (easy when travelling)
🏃🏻‍♀️Maintaining consistency with running-despite the humidity I have managed to run 5k which is amazing and I am very proud.
🛏️Allowing myself to rest when needed- especially when I have planned to run.
⏰Been flexible with myself (as above).
🥗Eating yummy food-sometimes western/vegan just to mix it up.
🧊Lots of iced coffee/matcha/Thai tea.
Water purification ceremony.
Prayer/mantra/fire ceremony.
💆🏻‍♀️Massages.
Sacred medicine sound healing.
Nervous system reset class.
📖Reading 2 books having not read for ages other than for work/self development.
✍🏻Writing in my journal.
Silver making workshop.
🛀🏻Bubble bath/flower bath.

Of course I do recognise that I am very lucky to have been allowed the luxury to travel and I am very grateful for that.

This next month I am actually volunteering in an Ashram so I expect it to be a bit different, a lot slower paced and I am very much looking forward to it, as you may know I am quite a busy body and therefore practicing a slower pace will be challenging but very welcome.

I am hoping to practice and teach more mindfulness, meditate for longer, practice silence amongst others, yoga, gratitude, I will hopefully continue to read and write and I have some crafts with me too.

I will be taking a break from social media for a while too.
Take care,
Kendal x

Hi all,
I hope everyone is well and taking care of themselves.

I have recently connected with a lovely lady online called Rebecca, she sells a number of health related products that I am quite interested in and thought I would share these with you.

For information and to purchase products this is the website,
https://www.arbonne.com/gb/en/arb/RebeccaLHunt/?fbclid=IwY2xjawKVBC9leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHsaqV-kYol_l0prB9qEw3nh5Xm7y8c1ym-_Rtf7sxKym-9AyOe0z7VUPRHEh_aem_JB4eSH66W2iaDzm9MNTGfA

She has also recently done a mental health workshop where she discusses products that she sells that can help with all things health and wellbeing. You are welcome to join her group or you are able to just review the content, there is actually a video I have put together talking about mental health on there too.

Hey all, I hope everyone is well.
I just wanted to provide a little update as I haven't posted for a while.
I have had the busiest and most amazing 12 months, looking back, I am so so so proud of everything I've managed to achieve work-wise but I am also rather tired 😋
From organizing and hosting my very first day retreat, followed shortly after by a full weekend wellbeing retreat (which was a massive success) to the exciting milestone of starting not one, but TWO private clinics! 🎉
On top of that, I've had the pleasure of seeing two of my articles published, dove deep into a specialist module at university (which felt near impossible), shared my insights as a guest speaker, facilitated a fantastic corporate away day, and even enjoyed showcasing my creations at a craft fair. All this while continuing my full-time role as an ACP! 🤯
It has been amazing, but I've reached a point where I'm ready to prioritize my own wellbeing and work towards a better work-life balance. With that in mind, I've decided to take a break from my NHS role to re-evaluate and focus on what truly fulfills me, professionally and personally.
First up... a well-deserved short holiday! ✈️☀️
After that, I'm excited to dedicate more time to providing my private services online, which will give me the flexibility I'm seeking while I explore new opportunities. I am also working on some digital resources that I can't wait to share with you. 👩🏽‍💻📚
Thank you to everyone who has supported me on this journey so far. I'm looking forward to this next chapter and continuing to connect with you all! ❤️

Oh my goodness! So many amazing men and women nominated for these awards and I am so proud to be amongst them let alone be a finalist!
Thank you so much for the support everyone it really does mean the world to me x

📢Stress Awareness Month❤️

I've seen first hand the impact stress can have on individuals. Ironically, even those of us who spend our days supporting others aren't immune. In fact, I've personally experienced stress and burnout myself.

🚩It's a stark reminder that knowing how to help others doesn't always make it easy to take our own advice! Sometimes, we all need a gentle nudge from those who care about us.

🙏Thankfully, I'm incredibly grateful for the amazing people in my life who look out for me and tell me when they think I'm spiralling (even though I don't always listen).

Keep an eye out for:
😓 Emotional Signs: Irritability, anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, sadness, difficulty concentrating, restlessness.
😴 Physical Signs: Headaches, muscle tension, fatigue, changes in sleep or appetite, digestive issues, increased heart rate.
🍺Behavioral Signs: Withdrawing from others, procrastination, increased use of alcohol or other substances, neglecting responsibilities.

Stress can stem from a variety of sources, including:
💼 Work-related pressures: Heavy workload, long hours, job insecurity, difficult colleagues.
🏡 Personal life challenges: Relationship problems, financial worries, family responsibilities, major life changes.
🌍 External factors: Societal pressures, global events.

The good news is that there are many ways to manage stress and prevent burnout! Here are a few ideas:

🧘 Practice mindfulness and relaxation techniques: Deep breathing exercises, meditation, yoga.
🚶‍♀️ Engage in regular physical activity: Exercise is a fantastic stress reliever.
😴 Prioritize sleep: Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night.
🍎 Maintain a healthy diet: Nourish your body with balanced meals.
🗣️ Connect with others: Spend time with loved ones and build a strong community.
⏰ Learn to say no: Don't overcommit yourself.
🌱 Set realistic goals: Break down large tasks into smaller, manageable steps.
🎉 Make time for enjoyable activities.
🤝 Seek support.

What a whirlwind of a week!
🏆From the fancy awards event I attended where I was a finalist for the Excellence in Health and Wellbeing category to then be a guest speaker at a corporate event talking about mindfulness and self care and wellbeing 🧘‍♂️
Now on the train to Plymouth and definitely looking forward to some rest! This busy period has really reinforced the importance of work-life balance. Time to practice what I preach. Make sure you're finding your balance! 👍

🌞Good Morning Lovely Lot,
I hope you are well and looking after yourselves.
🌸Happy 1st April.
With the start of the new month, we can see this as a fresh start, a chance for renewal.
🤗 Let's welcome all of the opportunities and possibilities to make positive changes for ourselves.
📒Even small habits can make a big difference particularly for our mental health, so this month give yourself permission to do the things you know are good for you, or why not try something new?
♥️As ever if you need support please drop me a message.
I am being kept busy with my latest projects which will soon be announced and I am very excited to share these with you.
Kindest,
Kendal x
