Happy International Nurses Day, to all my colleagues, past and present. What an amazing job we all do. The role of supporting all people, often in the hardest moments of their lives, is a privilege. More often than not working in challenging environments, sacrificing our own families and ourselves to care for others. Nurses are who we are at our core. Yes it is a vocation but we are also highly skilled professionals.
Here's to us x

Completed several of the 6 pillars of wellbeing this weekend: movement, social connection, and avoiding toxic substances: CrossFit, sober dancing, walking in nature, fundraising for the local hospice, a sauna and cold plunge with friends, quality time with daughter number 2 💖

Ok, after 16 years of using Instagram I can post, but a story and a reel? Nope. Take 2.
Let's connect rather than compare, that's the message I wanted to give today ❤️

I have 6 spaces available for a 1-day, in-person workshop.

This workshop is focused on women and wellbeing (sorry, fellas) and is based on my new workbook. It will be a supportive space, and 6 hours to truly focus on yourself.

If this date doesn't work for you, drop me a message, as I will run alternative dates after May.

Please feel free to drop me a message if you have any questions.

Poor housing, obesity and the effects of deprivation have been suggested as underlying cause.

During a study session on compassion, I was introduced to the Japanese concept of Omoiyari.

I have always believed that compassion is one of my core values, but when asked to describe what being compassionate actually meant, I struggled with the definition, like something was missing.

The concept of omoiyari has a far wider and deeper meaning than compassion. To me, it sums up nursing: a blend of compassion, kindness, and empathy. It describes an aspect of human behaviour that we do not have the English language for.
