Wellness From Within

18/05/2026

When I first started Wellness From Within it was all about sharing things I learned through my Psychology Degree, mindfulness and cognitive behaviour therapy diplomas along with some Journalling, emotion regulation and self love practices I had been taught. These were things I was doing myself and loved and always received a great response from course participants 🙏

Over the years as my son has gotten older, I’ve continued with my own healing journey and have been working through some things, and have come to realise that there has been something massive missing - a solid understanding of nervous system regulation. How the nervous system works, the systems involved, how the body stores trauma and responds to threats, and how we can learn to create a sense of safety and connection within the physical body.

I look forward to learning and understanding this stuff, primarily for myself, but no doubt it will spill over into future courses too.

Parenting as a sole parent with my own triggers and traumas and trying to share some helpful tools that help reset me along the way, has been very cathartic for me. I look forward to continuing the journey and the learning 💚🌟

Essential Oils that are popular this week, in under 3 minutes 💚

Wild Orange 🍊 citrus oil, the oil of abundance and creativity

Lemon 🍋 the oil of focus, great for cleaning & diffusing for a fresh scent in the air

Lemongrass 🪴 brilliant for flat PMT feelings or anxiety and depression - mood uplifter

Magnolia 🌱 the oil of compassion 💖

Oils can be diffused, used topically WHEN MIXED WITH A CARRIER OIL due to their potency, rolled onto pressure points.

Fun fact 🤩 when essential oils are rolled onto the soles of your feet they go into every cell of your body in 20 minutes 👌🏻

Essential oils provide FANTASTIC emotional support for these changing times we are living through 💚

The impact of what you do on yourself and others around you 🌟

A lot of that is out of your control. We can’t control how people receive us, hear us, how that lands and resonates with their experience of the world 💚

We are all connected to each other and what we see feel and experience with others goes through the filters of our perceived reality.

The protests over the last week have deeply resonated with me and my perceived reality for a number of reasons:
- I was impressed with the passion of people speaking their truth about their standard of living
- I recognised the knock on effect - their reality reflected others reality, the protests grew in support and numbers and there was a real strength in unity

Then came the response to the protests and the speaking up…

- I resonated with the experience of being and feeling unheard, shut down, below par attempts made to pacify
- I recognised the gaslighting through some of the Irish national media coverage and government responses, having your own reality dismissed, silenced and invalidated and being unduly and harshly punished for using your voice

This is part of what happens with wellness from within… seeing a reality, an experience playing out in the real world, having a reaction to it and learning to unpick and understand where that came from.

Shining the light on our own darkness and wounds with empathy and compassion and then learning to rewrite our own story… my course is designed for parents to learn how to do this for themselves, to unpack their reactions triggers and wounds and to receive tools and supports to rewrite their story for the betterment of themselves and their children’s well-being, connections, relationships and futures 💚🌟

We’re all on our own journey, collectively and individually 💚🌟

This morning I’m reflecting on my journey of motherhood. From the day and hour I knew I was pregnant all I felt for my son was love 💚

There have been tears and laughs, many highs and some lows. Through it all was love, and a desire to be the best mammy I could, doing my best to heal from any wounds and traumas I was carrying, to not pass them onto my son. Through it all was love 💚

It doesn’t matter what the outside picture is, it’s the inside one that matters most 💚

So this Mother’s Day I’m celebrating my love for my son and the honour and joy it is to be his mam 💚

Happy Mothers Day to all the women with love in their hearts for children - be it their own children, someone else’s or those they wish to have one day 💚🌟

Im truly grateful to for inviting me to a wonderful day celebrating women in Derrys Guildhall today. This funded day brought together women across the west to acknowledge and celebrate everything women are, we heard personal stories of what women have lived through, learned from & came out the other side of. A truly empowering, connective and thought provoking afternoon 💚🌟

I was in bits today reading these feedback and evaluation forms 💚

I’m always sooo amazed by how much parents get out of every course. This course brought real everyday examples of parents:

💕 learning to take some guilt free time for themselves
💕 connecting with other parents and enjoying a hot cuppa and snacks every week
💕 understanding their own needs
💕 learning to become more mindful in their daily lives
💕 becoming intentional with their time and energy
💕 journaling out thoughts ideas and the noise that rattles round the head
💕 getting better sleep
💕 clearer mindsets
💕 challenging their own thoughts and ideas
💕 recognising what’s in their control and what’s not
💕 regulating with the breath
💕 sharing confidentially in a safe and nurturing space
💕 parents feeling calmer and more like themselves again

They still deal with all the things they have to deal with but from a place of a fuller cup and a regulated nervous system 💚

And why do we do all this? The biggest benefactors are our kids 💚 they learn how to nurture their emotional well-being from us 💚

Our kids future health and well-being is also largely correlated to a solid attachment with at least one parent 💚 when we’re present and available we show them they matter, we shape them every day by how we show up for and with them especially before the age of 8 with their still developing reticular activation system which creates their inner voice 💚

Sooo thank you to all the parents for attending participating, listening and integrating the learning from the course and of course to Surestart Newtownbutler for having me once again 💚

Sitting with a very full and grateful heart this afternoon 💚💚💚💚
