Just over 3 months left.
Nearing the end of September means there are just under 100 days left this year.
That’s enough time to:
- finish a project
- improve your health
- start therapy
- change a habit
- fall in love with your life again
Don’t give up. The story isn’t over.

Parents, You're Doing Better Than You Think!
September often comes with pressure to be on it — packed lunches, permission slips, clean kit, no drama.
But remember:
💗 Your presence matters more than perfection.
💗 A calm tone beats a fancy lunchbox.
💗 You’re allowed to feel frazzled, too.
This season is a reset, not a race. You’ve got this.

Regulating the Nervous System – for Kids & Adults
Back to school can dysregulate both parents and children.
Try this 60-second nervous system reset:
🌬 Breathe in for 4… hold for 4… out for 6
🖐 Press your hand gently on your chest and say: “I’m safe, I’m supported.”
🧘♀️ Shake out tension from the arms and legs
These tiny tools calm the stress response and help everyone reset.

Supporting Your Child’s Mental Health This Term
The start of term can trigger a mix of feelings in children:
👧🏼 Will I fit in?
👦🏽 What if I can’t keep up?
😰 What if something goes wrong?
Create space to talk about it.
Start with open questions like:
💬 “What are you feeling about going back?”
💬 “Is there anything you’re worried about?”

Meet Rosie 🐾
Rosie doesn’t live with me full-time — but she’s very much part of our family heart and home.
She’s our family dog, weaving her way into all our lives with her joyful spirit and unconditional love. I often think she is the glue that keeps us together. She has been with us 5 years now. But I can’t really remember a time without her.
Whether it’s her wagging tail greeting us, her playful energy that brings laughter, her barking at the TV at any four legged friend or character that appear on screen, or her quiet presence that soothes as she snuggles up close at night, Rosie reminds us how much joy and comfort a furry friend can bring. She accepts us all just as we are, always happy to be with us.
I don’t need to be there with her to feel her gentle presence. She’s a reminder that family can stretch beyond the usual, and love is what truly makes a home.
Do you have a special pet who feels like family, even if they don’t live with you all the time? I’d love to hear about them!

After the freedom of summer, structure can feel like a shock to the system.
Start small:
🕰 Reintroduce bedtime routines gradually
🥣 Prep breakfast/lunch the night before
💧 Keep hydrated and nourished – it helps with mood and energy
💗 Leave space in the mornings for connection, not just logistics
Routine isn’t about control — it’s about creating safety through predictability.

10/09/2025

September isn’t just about school uniforms and fresh pencil cases.
It’s a whole emotional shift.
For many children (and adults), returning to routine can bring:
😟 Anxiety
😴 Tiredness
😢 Overwhelm
💬 Emotional outbursts
Let’s remember to ease in gently.
New beginnings take energy — be kind to yourself and your little ones.

So those of you that know as a therapist, a retreat host, the calm presence holding space for transformation.
But behind that is someone who’s deeply connected to community, movement, and meaning.
In my spare time, you’ll find me:

Ceroc dancing — because joy lives in the rhythm
Walking early in the morning either by myself or with Rosie and /or a friend
At the gym - I love my gym classes – be it yoga, Pilates or cardio circuits and strength and balance classes
Volunteering with SPARK mental health charity for young people struggling and proudly serving as a Community Champion in the village I live in.
Supporting local schools with exam invigilation
Travelling whenever I can — which is why hosting retreats lights me up

Catching up with friends from every chapter of life — from school, university, my corporate career spanning 20+ years in the City, my years in Hong Kong.
Connection. Community and friendship has always been my anchor. Whether it's one-on-one in a session, in a dance hall, or with women around the world, I believe in the power of presence, people, and showing up.

What brings you joy and connection outside of your work? I’d love to know.

What do I need right now?
Wellbeing isn’t about perfection. It’s not another task.
More often than not, It’s about moments of tuning in, asking: What do I need right now?
And allowing yourself to have that.

03/09/2025

Summer often shifts our support systems.
Reach out. Connect. Check in with others in your community. Connection to others as well as ourselves is necessary for us to thrive.
You’re not alone in this chaotic world and knowing others are there going through similar things can give us so much strength and support.

"Therapy with me isn’t just about talking — it’s about transformation."
People come to me when something just feels… off. For example:
- A teenager stuck in a loop of anxiety or panic, or OCD.
- A mother feeling lost, unmotivated, or emotionally exhausted.
- A parent who’s tried everything and still feels helpless.
What I offer is not just therapy or coaching — it’s a space for deep healing, emotional release, and real change. We do this in a variety of ways, and it is not really about the methodologies. It is all about the outcomes.
I might use a blend of:
- Coaching and counselling
- Hypnotherapy
- Breathwork
-NLP, Parts and inner child work, Somatic tools
- EMDR and BLAST trauma therapy
- Rewiring beliefs at the subconscious level
Clients often say, “I’ve never felt this safe with someone before,” or “You saw the part of me I didn’t know how to speak for.”

That’s the heart of what I do — helping people feel seen, supported, and strong enough to move forward.

Do what brings you joy…

When we are feeling joy, things seem to just flow and slot into place easily and effortlessly. We attract more good things. The universe wants us to be joyful so we can shine our light in the world.

So what will you do today (and every day) to bring you more feelings of joy?
