Beach strolls, woodland wanders, views across to the Isle of Wight… and a promise of sunshine ☀️

Mud, puddles, fields, laughter, chats and plenty of giggles 💬😂

Two nutty spaniels 🐶🐶, the loveliest company, and truly stunning countryside 🌾

We chatted about my first experience of purposeful wintering this January — how allowing myself to retreat, restore and slow down helped me embrace winter, rather than feeling deprived of the sun. I’ve started to see it as a season to be welcomed, not wished away.

So now it’s February, maybe you could try it too — just for the month. Finish those projects you’ve been meaning to wrap up, read the books waiting patiently on the shelf, sort through photographs, list clothes on Vinted…

Embrace the month rather than simply waiting for summer days. They will come — but wintering deserves to be embraced first.
What a perfect start to a Sunday.

Till next time… thank you for such wonderful company 💛

A raw , straight from the heart kind of post.
I start off protected from the wind and rain.
Then I lower my hood and begin a mindfulness practice.

You can see my face relax as I breathe.

This is my kind of mindfulness… letting nature relax me 🌧️🌿

Therapist vs Coach – what’s the difference? 🤍
This is a question I get asked a lot, so let’s clear it up.

A therapist
Therapy often focuses on healing the past.
Therapists are trained to diagnose and treat mental health conditions, work with trauma, and support people through deep emotional pain, grief, or clinical anxiety/depression.
Sessions often explore why you feel the way you do and where those patterns came from.

A coach
Coaching is more present- and future-focused.
A coach helps you understand what’s happening now, what you want to change, and how to move forward.
Rather than diagnosing, coaching is about building tools, confidence, awareness, and momentum so you can cope better and create change in your day-to-day life.

So where do I fit in?

As a STILL Method coach and menopause coach, my work sits firmly in the coaching space.

I support people who feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or “not like themselves anymore” — especially during life transitions like menopause — and want practical, gentle tools to feel calmer and more in control.

The STILL Method is a simple, body-based approach that helps calm your nervous system, reduce anxiety, and stop spirals in the moment — so you’re not constantly fighting your thoughts or feelings.

Alongside this, I work through my 5 Steps to Wellbeing, which focus on:
calming the body
understanding what’s really driving your anxiety or overwhelm
building awareness without judgement
creating supportive daily habits
growing confidence and trust in yourself
It’s not about digging endlessly into the past — it’s about learning how to support yourself now and moving forward with more ease.

So which is better?

Neither is “better” — they’re just different.

Therapy is powerful if you need to process trauma, complex mental health issues, or deep emotional wounds.

Coaching can be incredibly supportive if you want practical tools, nervous-system support, and guidance to feel calmer, stronger, and more like you again.

Many people use both at different stages of their journey 💛

Coaching isn’t about “fixing” you — it’s about reminding you that you already have what you need, and showing you how to access it.

Sat inside thinking of warmer days ahead :
For those of you who’ve been quietly following our retreat posts…

Imagining yourself there…

Wondering what it would actually be like.
Here’s a little more of the picture.

We’ll arrive on Friday evening, easing gently into the weekend.
No rushing. No big agenda. Just settling in, unpacking, and exhaling.
The days are a simple rhythm of walks and rest.
Time outdoors, letting the fresh air and Devon landscape do their thing.
Waterfalls, winding paths, moments of stillness that fill your soul.

Back at the house there’s home-cooked food, shared around the table.
Snuggling up with a book.
Playing cards with others.
Quiet corners if that’s what you need.

If it tickles your fancy, Woolacombe parkrun is there — but only if you want it.
If not, the walks, the coast and the waterfalls will more than do the job.
You’ll leave on Tuesday feeling restored, grounded and reset.
Ready to return to “normal” life with a calmer mind and a fuller cup.

✨ We’re planning ahead for May, gently weaving these moments into the year ahead.
More details soon — and if this sounds like something your future self would thank you for, drop us a DM to register your interest.

Hello

If you’ve found your way here, there’s a good chance anxiety has been part of your life —
the racing thoughts, tight chest, constant “what ifs”, or feeling stuck in survival mode.

You’re not broken.
Your nervous system is doing its best to protect you.

At CAW Wellbeing, I help people understand and calm anxiety in a practical, compassionate way — without pressure, judgment, or pretending everything is fine.

✨ What you’ll find here:
• Simple tools to calm anxiety in real moments
• Nervous system support you can actually use
• Reassurance when anxiety feels overwhelming
• Education that helps anxiety make sense
• Support through life’s changes and challenges

🌿 How I help:
I use the STILL Method — a gentle, structured approach that supports both mind and body, helping you feel calmer, clearer, and more in control over time.

This page is for anyone living with anxiety — whether it’s constant or comes and goes, loud or quiet, new or familiar.

💛 You’re welcome to take what you need, at your own pace.

👉 Follow this page for calm tools, guidance, and support — you don’t have to navigate anxiety alone.
