I was looking back through old photos and came across these from a Mindful Photography session during my time with Happy Headwork a moment that quietly changed the direction of my life.

I was in a really heavy and isolating season, feeling disconnected from myself, from others, and from the world around me.
Being in nature based spaces like this helped me slow down and gently reconnect to the earth, to people, and to myself.

It was a space where I felt supported and nurtured while moving through some hard things.

A place where it was okay to just be as I was.

The words I still carry with me are:
Perfectly Imperfect.

And that is enough.

If you’re struggling or feeling disconnected, I really recommend taking a look at the courses run by Happy Headwork. They held me when I needed it most 🤍

How many of you have been watching the BBC series The Night Manager? 👀

Did you spot it when Three Cliffs Bay is actually mentioned on screen?

That instantly made me smile because this breathtaking corner of the Gower isn’t just a TV backdrop, it’s very real and very close to home.

Just up the valley from Three Cliffs, in the beautiful village of Parkmill, is Temple Wellness, where I practice my therapies.

Nestled between the winding river, ancient woodland and open skies, it’s a place that naturally slows you down before you even step inside 🌿✨

Seeing Three Cliffs on screen is magical but being here in person, breathing the sea air and feeling the calm of the landscape, is something else entirely. A place for restoration, grounding and gentle reconnection.

Sometimes the most cinematic places are also the most healing 🤍

Harriet, my Moon Goddess Goat 🌙✨
�As we move toward the new moon on January 18th, her energy has shifted once again. Little sideways hops, playful nudges, soft headbutts, and that unmistakable sparkle in her eyes. The same wild joy she carried at the last full moon. It’s as if she’s dancing to a rhythm written in moonlight.

Animals like Harriet are still deeply woven into luna cycles. They feel the pull, the hush, the renewal, not intellectually, but instinctively. While many of us have drifted away from these natural rhythms, guided instead by clocks, screens, and schedules, animals remain fluent in the language of the sky. They don’t need reminders, they remember.

Once, humans lived this way too. The moon shaped our sleep, our stories, our moods, our rituals. Over time, that connection thinned, but the moon never stopped speaking. Harriet reminds me that the bond is still there, waiting quietly for us to notice again.

And there’s a reason for that ancient understanding, the word lunatic comes from the Latin luna, meaning moon. It once described those believed to be touched or influenced by lunar power, a reflection of how deeply people trusted the moon’s effect on life itself.

Maybe I should just call Harriet a lunatic. 🤔 🐐 🌙 ✨

I didn’t take a video of this morning’s sunrise I was busy pottering about, but I wanted to share yesterday’s sunset instead.

Sunrise and sunset are my favourite times of day
They are my quiet anchors.

🌅 At sunrise, I pause to muse on the day that is beginning. Intentions are set, manifestations whispered into the morning air, contemplating the day which is about to begin.

🌄 At sunset, I feed the goats and sit with them as they happily eat beside me, reflecting on the day that has been and leaving any stresses out in the field as the light fades, letting the day soften and settle.

Listening to the birdsong as the sun sinks brings such a deep sense of peace. The world feels still, the silence wide and kind, reminding me of the beauty that surrounds us when we take a moment to stop and truly listen.

This journey of shedding in readiness for the Year of the Horse has taught me so much, especially that joy lives in these small, quiet moments.

They build through the day, and before you know it, what you thought might be a bad day turns into a beautiful one.

✨ Slow down. Listen. Notice what makes your soul sing✨

🌿 Today marks 10 years! 🌿

Exactly 10 years ago today (24/06/25) I qualified as a holistic therapist — and what a journey it’s been.

From those early days of starting out, to building a practice rooted in care, connection and natural healing, I’ve grown so much — not just in skills, but in confidence, clarity and purpose.

To celebrate this milestone, Ymlacio Life is changing to
Helen Cresswell Aromatherapy, Therapies and Training.

This new name truly reflects who I am today and the direction I’m heading — continuing to offer Aromatherapy and my other therapies while beginning to share my knowledge through training, workshops and courses.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who’s supported me over the years. I’m so excited for what’s to come — the next 10 years and beyond. 💚

A huge thank you to for her beautiful logo design and the new website.
