Over the past few weeks, I’ve been taking time to reflect on where I am, what truly works for me, and what no longer does. As many of you know, this year I’ve held two leadership roles within the hospice and NHS cancer services.

I’ve valued the opportunity to lead, mentor, shape vision and strategy, and of course, continue caring for patients. I was emotional seeing my contribution to the National Guidelines for Complementary Therapies in Supportive and Palliative Care in print, following the launch in September. A fitting legacy perhaps. These experiences have given me so much, and I’m exploring how some of these skills might evolve into future consultancy work.

I’m delighted to share that from January 2026, I’ll be returning to The Quiet Way full time. Placing my own health and peace of mind first feels essential now, with creativity, authenticity, and time in nature close behind. I won’t pretend it’s not a little daunting; the realities of living costs, aging, and change are all very real. But the greater cost, for me, would be ignoring what feels true.

As Lao Tzu reminds us, “a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” This is mine.

Hello Goring and Streatley

I am pleased to offer additional, local clinics right on your door step!

I have been in practice for almost 30 years offering a range of massage therapies, reflexology, enery work, Aromatherapy, relaxation and resilience strategies, mindful yoga nidra and yin yoga and much more ♥️

The evidence show us that chronic stress, or trauma, can keep someone hypervigilant. Examples of how this might feel are; tight chest, shallow breathing, fatigue, or mental replays.

Therapies trigger the relaxation response, leading to:
✔️Lower heart rate and blood pressure.
✔️Improved digestion, immune function.
✔️Restorative sleep.
✔️Emotional clarity and reduced tension.

This is not just physical relaxation, but a holistic recalibration 👍🏾

I am also specialised in Supporting Cancer & Palliative Care through the different stages:

✔️Newly Diagnosed: Address grounding and emotional overwhelm.

✔️During Treatment: Focus on gentle support, comfort, managing fatigue and anxiety.

✔️Living Beyond Cancer: Emphasise restoring trust in the body, and emotional regulation and integration.

✔️Palliative Support: Speak about comfort, dignity, presence, and relief from tension.

Clinics:
21st November
5th and 19th December
Alternate Thursdays and Fridays from January 2026

See you soon, call or WhatsApp for a FREE 15-minute consultation and to book.

As the clocks turn back this weekend and the evenings draw in, I’ve been thinking about the darkest stretch of the year. In nature, this is a season of rest. The leaves fall, the birds grow quieter, and the earth turns inward, feeding itself from the harvest. Yet we push on, electric lights glowing, calendars full, screens keeping us alert long past dusk.

Perhaps we can take a cue from nature and soften our pace. Rest in our own small ways. For me, that looks like hearty homemade soups, slipping into bed earlier, and letting a few “to-dos” fall away. Less planning. Less doing. More simply being. What might a little rest look like for you as we move toward midwinter?

I was standing here a couple of weeks ago.
Spellbound.
The intoxicating colour of the sea.
The sound of the waves lapping on the shore.
The light.
The warmth of the sun on my skin.
Bliss.

That's when I knew I had to return to The Quiet Way full time 🩷

There is simply no other choice.

Health, peace, soft heart, relaxtion, nature.
These are my deciding criteria.

No other option.

Authentic.

TRUST.

Here we go then!!!
Let's do this 🥰

Feeling incredibly grateful today, seeing my words included in the new National Guidelines for Complementary Therapy in Supportive and Palliative Care.

Honestly, I'm still taking this in. It's not so much the recognition, it's about all the years to date, the people I have met, and the moments that have shaped this story and my therapeutic craft.

So much time, care and dedication has gone into updating and producing these Guidelines, it is a honour to play even a small part in that work.

I know Peter, Ann and many more have poured their hearts into making this possible 🩷

When stress hits, our nervous system goes into overdrive activating the fight, flight, or freeze response. This response is helpful in short bursts, but when it stays activated, it can take a toll on our health and wellbeing.

We think one of the ways Reflexology may work is by encouraging activation of the parasympathetic nervous system, the part of the nervous system responsible for rest and recovery, helping to lower heart rate, reduce blood pressure, and balance stress hormones.

In other words, Reflexology supports your body in moving out of the chronic stress cycle and back toward the relaxation response. If you’re managing ongoing tension, anxiety, or disrupted sleep, Reflexology could be a great support to help restore balance and improve overall resilience.

Give you that reset that you've been thinking about.

A Short Mindfulness Pause

Before you move on with your day, take just a minute:
Sit comfortably and close your eyes.
Take a slow breath in, noticing the coolness of the air.
Exhale fully, feeling your shoulders release.
Imagine the autumn leaves drifting down, each one carrying away a little tension.
Rest here for three breaths, letting your mind settle.

I’ve been diving back into the yin yoga videos I created at the start of the pandemic… and let’s just say there’s a lot of room for improvement. They are still on my YouTube channel if you're keen to see them! 😅

I’d love your input: what would you most like to explore in future yin sessions, or online content? More guided stillness, props and setup ideas, short sequences, or full practices? Focused on physical practice, or understanding the meridians in more detail? Share your thoughts below, I’m all ears.

And if you’re craving the real thing, join me for the next Extended Yin Yoga + Yoga Nidra Rest on Sunday 2nd November in Pangbourne Village Hall. Two quiet hours to soften, rest, and reset before winter unfolds. 🕯️

We often turn outward searching for the next method, mentor, or idea on how to 'fix' ourselves.

Yet neuroscience reveals that our internal systems already hold the architecture for insight and regulation.

When we pause and tune into our own neural and physiological signals, we activate pathways that strengthen focus, resilience, and adaptability.

Every moment of mindful awareness rewires the brain toward greater coherence and stability.

The journey forward isn’t about collecting more input, it’s about cultivating the conditions for our innate intelligence to emerge.

Wisdom is already within ✨

As the days grow shorter and the crisp autumn air settles in, our bodies and minds begin their seasonal transition. This shift can leave us feeling a little heavy, tense, or restless.

Now is the perfect time to nurture yourself with a soothing aromamassage or restorative aromareflexology treatment to support your gracefully move into the new season.

I have additional appointments to offer on Friday 10th October in Goring and 18th October in Theale. They are filling fast so don't second guess yourself.
