I have just joined Substack these last couple of days and currently moving some bits that I have written from my website over to Substack and have back dated to the original publish date. I do not have the website anymore as was struggling to get a project off the ground whilst working full time- the timing was off. However I am hoping to be able to start writing a bit more, my aim is write/post about general health and wellbeing, Fibromyalgia, Hyperthyoidism/Grave’s disease. Might also talk about reiki a little bit too.

My aim is to try and update the old website links to Substack links to things I have already posted on facebook but also here is where you can find me on Substack. I will still post links to anything I write on this page too.

All content is currently free and available and not behind a paywall. You do not need a Substack account.

I am a great believer of lifestyle as medicine or alongside medicine to support healing. Looking forward to seeing how this goes.

Love and light🙏

Life comes at you fast, in the blink of an eye everything can change and it is a massive WTF moment. You grieve the person you were while you try and adapt to the person you are now. It is tough when suddenly physically you can no longer do the things you love, even the simple stuff can be challenging. Goodbye 2025 and welcoming in healing vibes for 2026 🙏🏼

Love and light💫

Don’t feel pressured with the New Year arriving to fall into the New Year new me trap. If you feel pressured to make a change because of the imminent arrival of 2026, the change/changes you might want to make will not stick. Remember you can make a change at anytime throughout the year, it does not just have to be on the 1st January.

However if you are committed to change in the New Year and don’t feel pressured, half hearted and want to definitely take that next step then go for it. Don’t commit to lots of different things all at once, focus on one thing first and gradually move on to the next thing once you are in a good place with the first thing or feel ready to take the next step.

Love and light for 2026

Always good to reshare this post with summer holiday season starting to get going 😎.

You might have already booked that break away or considering a trip. The physical journey of trains, planes or automobiles, maybe even a combination of transport, the overwhelm of planning a break away, packing can bring on the fatigue, brain fog. Overdoing too much at once due to having so much to do. Here are some tips to help you navigate this period with fibromyalgia🙏🏼

Let's talk about the weather because in the UK we love talking about the weather...It is a great British trait.

We can manage certain areas of our fibromyalgia but some things are out of control. Yes, you heard that right, the weather can impact our fibro days too, it can affect muscles, circulation and the nervous system making an impact on symptoms.
