Every notebook tells a story📓📔📖📕📘- JOY❤️🙌🏽

To say I have a creative brain is a wee bit of an understatement.

Everyday, I come up with a new idea, a new group to form, a new invention, a new place to visit.

I start a haiku book, a journal, a dance class book, a ‘Save the Church’ book (said missing!), a taxes book, a ‘interesting things I need to research further’ book.

It’s a busy brain and it can get clogged up!

Having Craniosacral Therapy is my sure fire way to relax.

To allow my mind to rest for a while.

To reconnect to my breath and my body.

To be held and not have to ‘do’ or think for a while.

It’s kept this overactive brain steady for 10 years!❤️🙌🏽🙏🏽

If you’ve got a hankering for multiple notebooks and those ideas are clogging your inbox, call or DM to book your session💆🏽‍♀️❤️

Queenie, looks like I’ll be back to The Little Stationery Shop this weekend🤣🤣🤣

Simple things - JOY🙏🏽❤️🙌🏽

My nose is like a bloodhounds🐶

Once when I was pregnant and nesting in the attic, my husband trumped in the living room, 2 floors down.

My nasal passages were piqued👃🏽

True story.

I like to keep my household, artificial smell-free.

I like to keep things simple and straight to the point, exactly like my practice.

Simple, yet very powerful.

There’s no bells and whistles (maybe a drum or a chime), it’s holding and hearing the other person, and being led by them.

It’s simple, it’s your body showing me where to go, what sounds to make.

It’s the oldest connection in the world🙌🏽🙏🏽❤️

Sessions available next week, call me to book in💆🏽‍♀️

Crisp, clear, creative and cleansing day - JOY❤️🙌🏽🙏🏽

Lister Park is a God send for all the treasures it offers parents🙌🏽❤️

Cartwright Hall and The Turner Prize did not disappoint today!

Saw 13% of the exhibitions as my wee man made a pal in the Learning Room and I got to hyper focus on making a Spirograph drawing❤️🙌🏽🙏🏽

The 11.11 synchronised me with a friend I hadn’t seen in years, up from Devon for the day🙌🏽❤️🙏🏽

The frozen fountains gifted us a good 40 minutes of smashing and danger skating⛸️

The sun shone as we braved the ice cold slide, then warmed our cockles in the caff❤️

‘Was that better than sitting in and watch in tv? (His nibs’ ask after ju-jitsu),

Wry smile and ‘Tanya’ sideways glance

‘Yeah, that was the best day ever!’

Little gifts of joy🙏🏽✨❤️

Not dilly-dallying!
Noticing and appreciating- JOY🙌🏽❤️🙏🏽

I’m never late.

I’m just never early😜

I bump into a neighbour, or help someone on the street.

I notice a new flower popping up or a strange hole in a wall.

I see the sun peep over the hill and want to watch it, and notice how the condensation on the window glistens.

Then I need to wipe condensation.

Turn on the dehumidifier.

But empty it first.

Oh, I could water the plants with that water.

And put some diatomaceous Earth on that one.

I’ll need to pull out everything from the cupboard as it’s at the bottom.

Oh, school pick up in 8 minutes.

I’ll just make him a snack first.

If your brain likes to notice and appreciate, but you’d love an hour for it to settle, unwind, be still and peaceful, book a session with me.

✨Grounding
✨Balancing
✨Reconnecting to your true self

Chilling inside and out😎🆒❄️🥶❤️

There’s nothing better for a kid than to hear the words ‘school’s closed’.

Buuuutttt! When you’re self employed and got a tax return, the bomb site to clean and a lorra lorra admin to do, it’s like a 24 hour sentence!

Especially cause they’ve only been back 2 days🤣🤣🤣

So what do you do?

As Elsa would say ‘Let it go, let it go!!’.

I had to give my head a shake and let go of the agenda for the day. It makes my brain a bit itchy as once I’ve got a plan of action, it doesn’t like a schedule change🤣

So I immersed myself in play, movies, box bashing, horse rides, stair slides, my first homemade pizza in 30 years, and an extra day with ma bairn.

I also had a lot of gratitude for my central heating, my home and being warm and fed🙌🏽

How have you spent your Icey Day off!? ❄️🍦⛸️🧊❤️

If you’re needing an extra chill out, maybe it’s time for a session?🙌🏽💆🏽‍♀️❤️

As a mum, you can make up to 35,000 decisions a day, whilst being interrupted every 3 minutes by a -‘MUUUUUUHHHHHMMMMM!!’

Sheeeesh!!!

Your brain gets overloaded and overwhelmed and your body gets exhausted.

It’s like doing the Krypton Factor events, whilst planning dinner, shopping for party gifts, stressing about additives and sewing a Victorian costume for school.

Sessions with me help -

✨Reduce stress and anxiety.

✨Regulate and soothe the Nervous System - lowering cortisol.

✨Promote better sleep.

✨Boost mood, heighten feelings of relaxation, lightness and ease.

✨Connect you back to your body, your breath, Mama Earth.

Call me for a chat about how Cranio can help lighten the load.

‘This was a mild case of nonsense’🤣

I say that everyone should try a session with me (or any Craniosacral Therapist), once💆🏽‍♀️❤️. Folk are curious, but not really sure what I do!

Here’s what happens during a session -

You sit in my cosy room, and let me know what’s brought you.

As you lie down, I guide your body through breath work, meditation and sounds, into a relaxed state.

Your body then ‘tells’ me where to go. I intuitively sense where areas are tight, I gently hold them.

I ‘hear’ the sounds these areas need to hear, and when I make them, the vibrations and frequencies help release these stuck, held areas.

Like a Magical Mystery Tour, your body leads me from place to place. And I follow.

Constantly grounding myself, staying open, aware and connected to the Divine healing presence, letting something Greater than me, do the work🙌🏽❤️🌍✨

2026 is the time to try something new🙌🏽❤️ Something very old and ancient. To unleash the best version of you, onto the world❤️🙌🏽💃🏽

If you are drawn to a session, give me a call or DM🙌🏽💆🏽‍♀️

I remember walking past House of Frasers one Saturday afternoon in Dundee, circa 1999.

Watching all the folk on the way to the Wellgate, it suddenly struck me.

‘Everyone has a brain inside their skull!’

It was just a weird, fascinating thing, that everyone walking towards me, was housing a brain inside their body and it was the control centre(this is a glimpse as to how my brain works😜).

My fascination for the body grows every day. The sheer amazingness of what the body can achieve, can handle, can store, how it can heal, release and recover.

If your control centre would like a gentle reboot for 2026, call or DM for a chat or to book in❤️🙌🏽💆🏽‍♀️🙏🏽

Last day of 2025 - JOY❤️🙌🏽💆🏽‍♀️

10 years ago, I first experienced Craniosacral Therapy, and what a journey, to self discovery it’s been🙏🏽❤️

I was a very anxious, ungrounded, un-boundaried, people pleaser, leaking energy and giving away all my goodness. Frightened to put my head above the parapet and crying alllllllll the time when trying to speak my truth😭😭😭.

Now I’m a drum banging, joy finding, living singing bowl, full of wonder and acknowledgment of The Divine. Constantly curious and learning more about myself, my gifts and place in the big wonderful web of this world🙏🏽🙌🏽❤️ PRAISE-OH, SHABBA RANKS!!!!

Craniosacral Therapy has truly opened up the world to me🌍❤️

It’s shown me that I am loved, supported and part of something much bigger. It’s helped me release fear and recognise my triggers and old, childhood patterns.

It’s saved my wee Afro-Scottish ass🙌🏽❤️🙏🏽🇬🇭🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

If you feel called to Cranio, to a new (but very old) way of working with the body, get in touch.

2026 is gonna be 🔥🔥🔥

Let’s blaze our best selves all the way through 🙌🏽❤️🙏🏽✨☄️

Practice what you preach🙌🏽 JOY🌳🌲❤️🙌🏽💆🏽‍♀️

Ahhhmennnnnn!!! The woods were magical, grounding and nurturing.

After a squirrel ‘barked’ at me and told me to take the low road, I found a spot to settle🐿️🗣️

To let my breath leave my body, carrying what is no longer necessary away with it.

To ground and feel my sacrum and my feet, growing roots.

To connect to my heart and fill it with positive vibes.

It took time to settle, to leave the rush behind, but the trees and stream and rocks soothed me, lulled me into a calm, quiet, connected space🙌🏽❤️❤️❤️JAH!

Take time to get into nature, notice the sounds and smells. Breathe in that cleansing air.

Your body, mind and soul will be rejuvenated🙌🏽🌲🌳❤️🙏🏽
