✨ This is me, healed, aligned and choosing myself daily. ✨

I’ve learned that protection was never wrong, it was survival.
But bringing back that light, that joy, that openness…
That’s a choice I make for myself every single day.

Alignment isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about reconnecting with who I’ve always been.
The woman who laughs freely, moves with ease and honors her heart.

This year, I protect her, trust her and let her shine 🙏🏻

Grateful for every soul who joined me and today, deeply grateful for me 🤍

For the long hours, the quiet planning and the courage to show up and hold space.
For trusting the vision before it fully existed.
For bringing people together on the sand, creating moments of connection, healing, and joy.

Last year was full of salty air, bare feet, early starts, late nights, and showing up even when it would’ve been easier not to.

These moments didn’t happen by accident.
They were built with care, devotion and heart.

I’m proud of the spaces I held.
I’m proud of the souls who gathered.

I held the vision.
I held the space.
I held myself.

Thankful for the work.
Thankful for the people.
And so grateful for every soul who stood on the sand with me 🌊
bongo 🙏🏻

If you’re dreaming of adding yoga to your upcoming event into 2026…a birthday, pre wedding gathering, time away with friends, collabs, workplace wellbeing - I’d love to hear what you’re visioning.

2025 ✔️

May through October unfolded as a beautiful whirlwind of adventure and connection 🤍

November and December felt very full…a busy work diary that gently crowded out social and family time, and somewhere along the way my wellbeing practices softened and slipped into the background too.

In that quiet in between of Christmas, I allowed a small reset to arrive:
a little rest, a little event work and a gentle return to my gym and yoga rhythm.

And now… hello January 2026.
I usually hold an intention for the year while allowing it to reveal itself in its own time. It hasn’t fully surfaced yet, but my January intentions feel clear:

🔅 live well
🔅 soothe and rest my nervous system
🔅 become back open socially
🔅 allow myself to be seen by life again

Under this full moon, a sense of renewal is rising through the spaciousness.
My direction is slowly emerging from the quiet clarity being offered.

I feel excited for this new timeline as it begins to form and deeply grateful for the space to let this openness settle.

And today held a simple kind of nourishment…a winter walk and lunch with a friend.

🍾2026…let’s go!!
If this year brings a moment worth gathering for…a birthday, a wedding pause, a hen celebration or a women’s getaway,
I’d love to hold space for you & your group with yoga, calm and care.

My thirties were my healing.
My sacred solitude.

As I step into my forties this late January,
I do so aligned, awakened and guided…
I have attracted people, environments, and experiences that feel honest and nourishing.

By honouring sacred solitude, working through my healing and staying authentic, a natural magnetism emerged,
drawing in those who genuinely align with my unique frequency.

Through healing, you realise your energy no longer resonates with everyone.
People pleasing falls away.
You become more loyal to your soul than to society.

In 2025, the universe reminded me just how far I’ve come…offering an adventure filled with beautiful connections, healing parts of me and awakening others, gently guiding me forward.

Everything I’ve learned and experienced this year has rewritten the chapters that carry me into the future.

My laugh is louder and comes more often.
My style is bolder, held with deeper confidence.
My dreams are bigger, anchored in stronger self worth and belief.

I have learnt lessons I didn’t know I needed.
I felt parts of myself awaken that I didn’t know were dormant.
And I discovered what true kindness feels like, simply by being offered a small moment of it.

Those that have lit up my life this year,
you know who you are
& I’m so grateful to live 2026
creating new memories with you all 🙏🏻

2026…let’s go ✨

27/12/2025

Every gathering I’m part of unfolds in its own way.
Shaped by the people, the place and what’s needed in that moment.

Sometimes there’s gentle movement.
Sometimes stillness.
Sometimes laughter carried on the breeze.

My intention is always the same…to create space for calm, connection and presence.

If you’re dreaming of adding yoga to your upcoming event into 2026…a birthday, pre wedding gathering, time away with friends - I’d love to hear what you’re imagining.

The past two months have been a truly special journey, working on an event.
Although it’s one I’m unable to share and where photos or videos weren’t permitted, the experience itself will stay with me.

I closed out the year deeply aligned with my 2025 intention: connection.
New friendships were formed, new opportunities are already unfolding, and sharing each day with such kind hearted souls has filled me with warmth and light.

The final stretch asked a lot of us, but we moved through it together…with laughter, hugs and wholehearted effort.

A beautiful way to welcome winter… and now it’s time for me to create space for deep rest 🙏🏻

Tomorrow I step back into working on an event right up until Christmas Eve…still not feeling 100%, but getting there.

Normally, since choosing the self employed path, this time of year has been my natural pause… a chance to slow down, prepare for Christmas and move with the rhythm of the earth.
But this year looks different.

I don’t have an advent calendar.
I haven’t baked a single mince pie.
I’ve done zero Christmas shopping.
Life has simply been full with work and commitments.

And more than ever, I’m craving calm within the chaos.

I’ve never chased the “perfect” Christmas - the packed calendars, the matching pyjamas, the picture perfect everything. But this year is showing me even more clearly that the magic isn’t in the extras… not even the ones I usually enjoy.

It’s in the quiet, unpolished moments no one posts online:
The slow starts.
The warm snuggles.
The flour dusted kitchen.
The feeling of simply being together.

This month is meant to be a softer place to land. A time to rest, reconnect and return to what matters.

And all I want for Christmas this year is this:
Calm in the chaos.
Presence over performing.
Softness instead of stretching myself thin.
Feeling alive in the moment, not buried beneath it.

If your December is going to look a little simpler this year too, you’re not alone.

Simply prioritise being present with those special to you…memories are the magic, your presence is the magic 🫶🏼

Anyone craving a little breathing room, softness or stillness…

Workplace Wellness Sessions

✨Support your team to feel calmer, more focused and energised.✨

I offer bespoke Workplace Wellness sessions created to meet the unique needs of your workplace and staff.

Through tailored Yoga & Breathwork sessions, I help teams:
🔅 Reduce stress and tension
🔅 Calm busy minds
🔅 Support smooth, productive days ahead

From short lunchtime resets to morning energisers or end of day wind downs… I shape the experience to suit your team’s schedule and vibe.

No experience needed, no need to change clothes…just time to breathe, reset & feel better.

🔆Last week, I had the pleasure of offering a workplace wellbeing session under candlelight to a beautiful team from a local coffee shop … a moment of restorative calm away from the December hustle.

🔆And I’ll be welcoming the new year by visiting a children’s nursery to offer a wellbeing day for staff before the term begins, helping them start 2026 grounded and recharged.

I absolutely love seeing small business owners creating space for staff wellbeing…it’s such a powerful and thoughtful act of care.

‘Our team felt instantly more relaxed and clear headed after Nia’s session.
It was the highlight of our week.’

💌 Let’s chat about what would work best for your team.

My intention for 2025 was connection and I’ve received it in abundance.
The people, the places, the moments... all
aligned in ways I could never have scripted.

And the event I’m pouring my energy into as we close out this year is the pure embodiment of connection…surrounded by incredible people, co-creating something special, sharing stories, learning from each other, and honestly… laughing every day.
My heart is full with a constant reminder that aligned work feels like pure happiness.

Moving into 2026, I’m guided by a strong, unmistakable pull… clearer than anything I normally feel before the new year.
This time, the intention has arrived early and effortlessly: travel.
Expansion, exploration, adventure and saying yes to the places that call me. I can’t wait to see what the universe has in store.

I’m manifesting daily, staying open, trusting the path and following the signs.

Here’s to the next chapter...spacious, magical, aligned 💫

And if you’re feeling the pull too… to create something special for yourself or your people - a birthday, hen party, workplace wellbeing moment, or a ladies’ getaway…I’d love to weave yoga into it with you.
Send over your location and dates and we’ll bring it to life.

✨The corporate world…been there, done that and I would never go back.✨

These days my life looks very different.
I run beautiful events.
I create meaningful connections.
I travel to peaceful workplaces.
I wander through countryside and along beaches.
I watch sunrises, share stars, hugs and laughter.

One of the biggest myths we’re sold is: “If you work hard and wait, good things will come.”
But the truth is gentler and far more real…what you choose to work on and the people you choose to walk alongside, matter more than the number of hours you give away.

This Scorpio New Moon invites courage, honesty and surrender.
It asks you to sit with what’s true, to hold yourself with compassion as you release what no longer fits the person you are becoming.

Yes, set intentions but only after letting something old soften, fade and fall away.
Rebirth is essential under this moon. What you call in now needs space to arrive and that means clearing what no longer belongs.

And with Mercury still weaving its retrograde lessons, remember that gentleness is its own kind of strength.
Move slowly.
Speak with care.
Let your transformation be tender, deliberate and sacred.

You are not who you once were.
You are remembering who you’ve always been.

Nia ✨
