I just realised it’s World Stroke Day — so this post is totally impromptu 💛

Since my stroke in 2022, I’ve connected with so many people who’ve had strokes too — and every story is different. Some are invisible, like mine, while others are more physical. But each journey takes so much strength. I’m so proud of everyone who gets through this 💪✨

I don’t define myself by my stroke anymore, but it’s a part of me — a little badge I wear with pride. I’m a survivor. 🌟⚡ ✨
I’m proud of how far I’ve come. I thought fatigue would live with me forever, but now I manage it — and do things I probably wouldn’t have done before my stroke. I still push myself (sometimes too much!), but I’m proud of that too.

Here’s to everyone on this path — every little step counts.
And remember: rest is the key to survival. 💛

The Autumn Retreat — connecting to oneself and nature. Can we do it all again? ✨

A weekend of slowing down, reconnecting, and creating at Tiptoe Retreat.

From sauna and breathwork to movement, dancing, art, nourishing food, and forest walks — every moment was about connecting with ourselves and the beauty around us. 💛

Thank you to Angus + Annabel for being beautiful hosts We can't wait to be back here again.

Before you go to bed tonight, here’s a simple ritual to bring you peace — and a better night’s sleep.

Massage your ears and feet 👂🦶

Say what Alex, why there?
Ear massage activates acupressure points, and the feet hold reflexology points that connect to the whole body.
These gentle techniques help calm the nervous system and ease you into deep rest.

Rooted in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), these ancient Eastern practices are a simple way to restore balance before sleep.

I won’t go into the finer details — it’s time to get off your phone 😉

So grab your oils, slow down, and give yourself a few minutes of loving attention.

Your body will thank you. 🌙💛

Good night ❤️

✨ The Art of Pause Retreat ✨

What a beautiful day we shared on Sunday — a chance to truly pause, create, and let the mind unwind through mindful movement, and gentle creativity.

We moved, made, rested, and connected in the most nourishing way, surrounded by nature at and held by a beautiful community of women. 💛

Grateful for every soul who joined us and filled the space with calm, curiosity, and care.

We’ll be back on 7th February — if you’d love to experience a day like this, spaces are now open (limited availability).

World Mental Health Day 💚

I’ve been reflecting more deeply on this today. We’re all a bit on edge in society — with work, finances, relationships — it doesn’t take much to feel overwhelmed.

I try to keep myself level-headed and notice the signs when they come. I know I’m one of the lucky ones who’s learned not to let things build up.

My grandmother has struggled with mental health most of her life. It saddens me that it was often covered up with medication, rather than being given the tools to heal. She’s in her 90s now — bossy, funny, full of life — but I still feel her pain beneath it all.

Recently, I’ve been teaching in a mental health care home, and it’s opened my eyes even more. I feel such deep compassion for the people there — grateful that they’re safe, cared for, and supported. From the little things — offering a gentle massage with oils, playing music, speaking kindly — they begin to open up and release. I love witnessing these small shifts. The power of music, movement, and touch helps ease their blockages and brings light back into their eyes.

We’re all capable of struggling — none of us are immune. So next time you see someone, don’t judge. Offer a smile, a moment of kindness. And do the same for yourself.

Wake up and feel blessed for what you have. Take time to say thank you, and nurture yourself with the tools and rituals that keep your mental health clear and balanced. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

A little pause to reflect on September…

Time feels different as we grow older, doesn’t it? The days slip by quickly, and yet it’s so nourishing to notice the small things — a good cup of tea, a quiet walk, a moment of laughter.

September always feels like a turning point for me — the end of summer, the soft beginnings of autumn. There have been little highlights, gentle adventures, and pauses worth remembering.

As we step into the months ahead, may we hold gratitude for what has been, embrace the kindness of slowing down, and savour the little moments that nourish us.

Here’s a big hug to the year so far, and a warm welcome to what’s still to come.

❤️💋🌞 To those in my September

✨ This is your sign to slow down and tune into rest. ✨

In a world that’s always asking us to do more, be more, keep going — choosing to rest is a radical act of self-care.

This Sunday I’m holding my Rest • Restore • Re-balance class — now in its third year — and it’s one of my favourite spaces to share.

Together we’ll honour the Autumn Equinox, as we gently shift into a slower, softer pace for the months ahead.

Here’s what’s waiting for you:
• Gentle yin & somatic yoga
• Massage & acupressure to release tension
• Deep rest with Yoga Nidra
• A cosy, nourishing atmosphere to truly reset
• Tea & fruit to hydrate and ground

📍 Details:
🗓 Sunday 28th September
🕔 5:00 – 6:30 PM
📍 , Portsmouth
💫 £17 — only 2 spaces left!

If your body’s craving stillness, if your mind is calling for space… this is your invitation. 🤍

✨ Link in bio or DM me to book — spaces are limited.
We’ll return again in November at
