Sometimes life can get very full and it’s important we acknowledge this and carve out space where we can simply sit in stillness and breathe. For me, I do this best when I take time away from online life. Especially social media. I can find it everything becomes very overwhelming to me, very quickly. And so, I am taking a break. I will, as always, still be quietly working away in the background with my doula work, womb healing and the work I do with our local MNVP (Maternity & Neonatal Voices Partnership). Plus, of course, taking care of the small boy and spending time with Andy. But otherwise, I shall be simply breathing, resting, and listening to my body - or practicing what I preach, as it’s also known. See you soon! xx

Did you know there are (at least) 3 possible dates for Imbolc! Many are celebrating today / this evening, in accordance with the gregorian calendar. Others will be celebrating on Tuesday, in accordance with the astrological timing. And others will be celebrating in accordance with the lunar timing on 17 February.
🌕
I intend to work with the energy of Imbolc throughout the early part of February. So what does that look like?
💫
I LOVE this time of year. We have moved out of the darkness of deepest part of winter. This is the time to reflect on all you have integrated over the darkness and the stillness of winter and to weave this into your intentions for the year ahead. Tonight is the full-moon. And so this is a potent time to allow the light of the moon to illuminate all you need to pay attention to. Then as the moon wanes and we enter the balsamic phase (moving towards the new-moon on 17 February) this is the time to shed, release and let go of all that no longer serves as we prepare to move into the year ahead.
🔥
Imbolc is the time of the year where the earth's energy is rising. The light is returning. The first shoots of spring start to come through the ground. This is where I start to feel the energy coming back into me as I prepare to move into the year ahead.
🧘🏻‍♀️
And with this, I'm so excited to share with you my return to in-person group work! This Thursday I will be holding space for us to gather in the Womb Connection Circle. Together we will honour and work with the energy of Imbolc as we prepare to move into the year ahead.
🔥
Later in the month, I’m also going to be facilitating a workshop called Moon, Blood and Becoming where we will explore cyclical living, what that means to us and how we can tap into the flow of this in our everyday lives. This is one of my favourite workshops to facilitate as this really is the foundation of how I live my life day to day.
🩸
Both of these will be at on near Great Missenden. You'll find a booking link in my bio.

Do feel free to share the invitation to join with anyone you think may wish to join us. And please do get in touch if you have any questions!

Morning, morning & HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Yesterday was spent resting and sleeping and today I’m ready to venture out again. This morning I tackled my online strength training class and at lunchtime I’m off to a mind & body class I go to most Fridays at our local leisure centre.

Anyway, here’s a photo I snapped after I finished my strength training. Wearing one of my favourite tops.

I’ve spent a lot of my life wanting to fit in - and at times trying really hard by trying to be the same as everyone else. Or what I thought was the same. Trying to behave in ways that I thought would get me accepted by others. And not really being true to myself.

But wearing these masks didn’t make me happy. Not only that, the more I did it, the more disconnected from myself I became. The more I didn’t know who I really am beneath the masks. And this showed up in so many different ways in my life. It affected my sense of self and the ripple effects were huge - and for a long time I didn’t even notice this had happened. Though I was stuck, I didn’t really know how or why.

And so I went on a journey to reconnect with myself on a truly deep and meaningful way and everything was underpinned by coming to understand myself as a cyclical being. Understanding myself by laying the foundation of noticing where I am within the cycles and honouring my needs accordingly. What do I mean by that? At a basic level it’s about understanding where we are in our life cycle, the wheel of the year, the moon cycle and (if we’re still bleeding) the rhythm of our own body’s cycle.

It’s this connection that is at the foundation of The Untamed Woman. As we start to live through the lens of acknowledging our cycles, we start to work with our inner power. And when we’re connected to our inner power, we’re connected with our own wisdom and our inner knowing. And when this happens we feel confident in who it is we really are, and in what we truly need for ourselves.

I'm clearly in that space where I'm not even sure what time of day it is. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hi loves 🤍

The days between Christmas and New Year can feel timeless — routines soften, moments blur, and it’s easy to lose touch with yourself.

This is a gentle invitation to step softly into self-care, even if it’s just noticing your breath, pausing for a sip of tea, or sitting quietly for a few minutes.

🤯 I'm Hiding on the Stairs Right Now. Hear me out.
This is my spot. The place where nobody asks me for a snack, when dinner is, for a charging cable or where their socks are.

As a busy mum running a business, a home, and dealing with the specific challenges of a child finding school difficult, I get it: December is an assault on the nervous system.

Last year, after hosting Christmas, I was utterly exhausted by Boxing Day. I had given everything to everyone else. Not again.

That's why I created The Untamed Pause: An Advent of Self-Care.

This is your simple, gentle, 10-minute daily invitation to: ✨ Soothe your nervous system 🧘‍♀️ Connect back to yourself ☕ Find deep calm

It's all run inside a private WhatsApp group (you choose the quiet or the chatty version!). This is your sanctuary—not another schedule.

Ready to make this December different?

Comment "YES PLEASE" below and I'll send you the links right away to get set up before December 1st!

Who else is already mentally exhausted just thinking about December? 🙋‍♀️

Honestly, I love Christmas. I love hosting, I love the chaos, I love making it special, I love the memory making But last year? By December 27th, I was ready to crawl under a rock and sleep until February. I had given everything to everyone else, and my own tank was on empty. Sound familiar?

That feeling is why I created The Untamed Pause: An Advent of Self-Care.

This isn't another thing to add to your list. It's the 10-minute pocket of calm that keeps you fueled, calm, and truly present for the fun parts, without the burnout.

Swipe through to see what's included and get set up now! We're making a conscious choice this year: Magic without the Meltdown.

This complimentary adventure kicks off on December 1st. Join us now so you are all set up and ready to receive your first daily message!

Ready to prioritize YOU before the New Year?

Comment the word “PAUSE” below, and I'll send you the link to your digital safe space as soon as I can. Let’s make this December different. ✨
