✨Exciting news✨
After 12 amazing months of having my private practice, hiring rooms in different but equally wonderful clinics, I have finally bit the bullet and got my own space.
A very special, dedicated wellbeing space for all of my lovely therapeutic work to take place.
I will be doing my usual 1:1 sessions as well as workshops and bespoke small group wellbeing events.
As a huge thank you for the ongoing support I will be offering some exclusive introductory offers which will apply for the rest of the year. Keep your eyes peeled, or drop me a message, I look forward to hearing from you, Kendal x

The start of a new month, and a new week, and a new season, wow wow wow all of the opportunities for new beginnings.
I hope you will make the most of this time and lean in to developing positive habits that support your wellbeing, whatever it looks like for you. It doesn't have to be anything big, small positive habits that you can embed into your lifestyle each day can be far easier to sustain and therefore more beneficial long term.
Even just thinking about what you could do can be the first step.
If you need ideas please drop me a message, I am always happy to discuss.
Also, today I have made quite a big decision with my own path forward and I cannot wait to share it with you all.
Look after yourselves, always,
Kendal x

Evening all,
Hope everyone is well and looking after themselves.
I wanted to share access to a free course that is available, supporting people to have conversations about mental health.
Having worked in a crisis team for several years, then leading the mental health support for the ambulance service to now my private work I can wholeheartedly see the value in these resources and these conversations are essential.
Please do check them out.
Kind regards
Kendal

Hey all,
Hope you are well and looking after yourselves.
I am just reflecting on my time volunteering at the ashram; I'm so grateful for the peaceful mornings I spent there. Each day began with a beautiful and consistent routine that nourished my mind, body, and spirit which I try to continue.
We started with meditation, sitting in silence to calm our minds and set a peaceful intention for the day. This was followed by a rejuvenating yoga practice, where we moved our bodies and connected with our breath. Finally, we would gather for teachings, exploring ancient wisdom that offered new perspectives on life which I thoroughly enjoyed.
One of the practices I learned about and practiced was the use of mantras.
A mantra is often a word or sound repeated during meditation, but its core purpose is similar to that of a modern-day affirmation. Just as affirmations are positive statements we use to consciously shape our thoughts and beliefs, a mantra is a tool to focus the mind and bring it back to a single point. For me they are one in the same and I would encourage people to give these a go.
By consistently repeating a mantra/affirmation, you create a space for mental clarity, helping to quiet the constant chatter in your mind. This practice can be incredibly beneficial for mental well-being, reducing stress and anxiety, and cultivating a sense of inner peace. It's a simple yet profound way to train the mind to be more present and positive, a lesson I’ll carry with me long after my time there.
I would love to hear about whether you have tried this for yourself and how you have found it. I would also suggest it is something you need to be consistent with for it to be beneficial long term.
Kindest,
Kendal

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,
Kindest,

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.
Kindest,

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
