Today is International Women’s Day 💜

A day to celebrate the strength, resilience and achievements of women — but also a moment to acknowledge the reality of women’s mental health here in the UK.

Research shows women in the UK are around twice as likely as men to experience anxiety disorders, and many report feeling overwhelmed by the pressure of balancing work, family life, caring responsibilities and the constant expectation to “keep it all together”.

Behind the busy schedules and capable exteriors, many women are quietly carrying a lot.

So today feels like a good moment for a gentle reminder:
Your mental health matters.
You are allowed to rest.
You don’t have to manage everything alone.

Looking after your mind isn’t selfish — it’s essential. And sometimes even small shifts in the way we think or respond to life’s challenges can make a real difference.

However you’re spending today, I hope you take a moment to acknowledge your own strength and offer yourself the same kindness you so often give to others.

It's and here's just some* of my ever growing book collection...

Books I recommend, books I pick up and read for education, books I read for pleasure, books I read to dip into, books I read to help clients, books I read to help me understand something, books that have been recommended to me.

Impossible to tell you a favourite, because they all bring something to the table.

In the nicest possible way, and to avoid disappointment, please don't leave it to the day (or night!) before to book your appointments.

If you can, book in before you leave!

I've got very little availability this week coming and I'm teaching Friday (My CPD if fancy joining us?) and all weekend so getting my studying in whilst I can.

I don't like to disappoint clients who want to see me, so please don't forget to get yourself booked in!

Thanks so much

It's my kids half term w/c 16th Feb, and I also promised myself more regular time off so here's a little notice of up coming week off to my regular clients that if you're wanting to get booked in you need to do so as slots are filling up before I'm off for a week.

One of my goals for 2026 is regular rest time so I can be at my best for family and clients alike and not a shell of woman...IYKYK 😉

All available slots for the next few months are showing on my booking system, linktree links in bio take you to website, booking system and even my supporting track!

I'm logging out 5pm Fri.

Urgent messages will be replied to.

Otherwise I'm available this week then having a much needed rest after a busy Jan and Feb with work and family commitments.

Thanks so much

Self-belief hits different.

It’s that deep, quiet trust in yourself — your abilities, your judgement, your capacity to handle whatever shows up.

Not the temporary “I feel confident today” kind… but the steady inner strength that keeps you moving, even after setbacks.

It’s knowing you’re capable.
It’s choosing to keep going.
It’s letting that belief guide your actions when things feel hard.

That’s real resilience.

When I work with clients, I help them to believe in themselves, trust in the choices, feel confident, move forward and feel resilient.

If you're ready to get started , I'm ready to help you.

Someone asked me, not very long ago, if being a hypnotherapist ment that was it, I wasn't going to do anything else, study wise.

I think a few people would like it if I'd stop doing things that involve reading, writing and assessments, but as I said to someone I was interviewing for our course...

You're never too old to learn something, it keeps the dementia at bay.

I'm always extending my knowledge, my bookshelves are heaving.

About 18 months ago I completed a Practitioners Diploma in Menopause Wellness Course, I'm always updating my Working with Women and my Perinatal Mental Health, Pregnancy Loss and Birth Trauma CPD's and currently studying for further qualifications.

As well as keeping up to date for teaching and , and supervising fellow hypnotherapists.

Being up to date is important, extending my knowledge is something I enjoy.

So, if you're interested in something, and thinking you're too old, you're not, learn something new, your brain will thank you 😉

What does Polar Bears have to do with Hypnotherapy?

Well, Daniel Wegner and his ironic process theory: the more you try not to think about something means you think about it more. "Don't think about a Polar Bear" guess what that's all you can now think about.

Just like someone telling you not to think anxious thoughts.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy works by helping you to redirect thoughts in an alternative direction: towards those you'd prefer, those that will be beneficial, those that are about your preferred future.

Out with the old, in with the new...

It's time to sew the girl child's new pointe shoe(s) 🩰

If being a dance mum as taught me anything this year it's that:

Dancers are tenacious: they get back up and keep going even when they're tired and think they can't, they go again, and again, and again until they can.

Dancers are incredibly strong: they look so graceful but underneath the makeup, hair spray, smiles and glitter they're litter warriors who can carry seriously heavy props and team mates and just keep going.

Dancers are positive thinkers: they believe they can and they do! They're huge team players, even in solo comps they support each other, believe they can do something and if they don't their team mates and teachers tell them they can until they believe it themselves.

Dance changes brains: I've literally witnessed the way thinking and habits change through repetition, positive attitude and the knock on effect it has on all areas of life.

If nothing else, I've seen the importance of pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone.

Comfort zones are comfortable, for a reason, they're small and they're, well, comfortable.

But beyond that zone leads you to greater things, where you can achieve so much more, that you didn't think you could do. You can do the things you've dreamt of, become the version of yourself you want to be.

You just have to push yourself, even if you don't think you can.

So, for 2026, think like a dancer, be a bit more tenacious, step out of your comfort zone, be stronger than you think you can be, try again, D what you didn't think you could - you might suprise yourself 😉.

And if you need a little help achieving it, I am more than happy to help...

I'll be your biggest cheerleader, ask the girl child, I'm getting really good at it 🤩 (much to her embarrassment!)

Jen
