My words for 2026 are Nourish / Sovereign / Ease.
And they feel less like intentions…..more like a remembering.

✨ Nourish
Not hustle-recovery.
Not “earning rest”.
But cell-deep care. Pacing, pleasure, nourishment of body, mind, creativity, and nervous system.
Me feeding me.

👑 Sovereign
I am no longer negotiating my worth, my time, or my energy.
I choose.
I lead.
I belong to myself.

☁️ Ease
Money flows without force.
Work lightens.
Life holds more grace.
Effort becomes intentional (not constant).

Together, these words tell the story I’m living into:
I nourish myself first.
I stand sovereign in my life.
And I allow ease to replace struggle.

2026 feels quietly powerful.
Grounded. Self-honouring. Spacious. 🌿✨

At the start of 2025, I chose three words to guide my year:

🔮 Clarity
🧘‍♀️ Alignment
💫 Prosperity

I thought they would gently shape my days.

What I didn’t realise was how quickly they would ask me to listen.

I began the year full of momentum but burnout arrived sooner than I’d hoped. And so, the first real invitation from these words wasn’t action… it was pause.

Clarity showed me what truly matters and what quietly drains me.
First in my personal life, where honesty was unavoidable.
And later, in my work, where some ways of operating no longer fit who I’m becoming.

Alignment hasn’t looked like doing more of the “right” things.
It’s looked like stepping away. Releasing. Simplifying.
Living closer to my values, even when that meant slowing down.

And prosperity?
Right now, it’s being redefined.
Less hustle, more sustainability.
More energy, health, and spaciousness (alongside growth).

Those early intentions led me to make real changes:
✨ Adjusting my work–life balance
✨ Protecting time for rest, creativity, and small home projects
✨ Keeping weekends open for spontaneity or deep rest

2025 was quieter than I expected.
But it feels deeply intentional.

And I trust that this is exactly what these words were always pointing me towards. 🌿✨

I’m finally back on social media after extending my break with a family trip to Berlin 🇩🇪❄️

Travelling with our adult children has shifted how we approach time together.....fewer distractions, more intention, and a real focus on shared experiences. Despite the bitter cold (and a lot of walking), the trip offered space for connection and perspective.

It was absolutely freezing and we walked our socks off but that felt like the right way to experience the city.

I’d been brushing up on my German before we went, which brought back memories of my teenage years and a German exchange. I remember the division of East and West and while there’s barely any Wall left to visit, standing at the Brandenburg Gate was right at the top of my list.

What really blew our son’s mind was realising that all of this history; the division, the change, the reunification, happened in our lifetime. Suddenly, history felt very real.

A grounded and reflective way to begin 2026 rooted in presence, perspective and what matters most.

Cold days, long walks and full hearts.✨

Life lately…

I’ve been very deliberately neglecting social media while I recalibrated and leaned fully into living. So this is a little “proof of life” before I sign off until the New Year.

The images tell the story:
• A Padel lesson (after dabbling in Pickleball earlier in the year). I like it!
• A prolonged household bug that we somehow functioned through, fuelled by very little sleep. I’m now nursing a stinking cold, but on the plus side I’ll be sorted before Christmas.
• Art classes continuing, if a little sporadically thanks to said bugs.
• My annual visit to see the seals and their new babies; joined by a friend this year (Hubster still declines due to the frequent presence of placentas).
• A magnificent super moon and several evenings of me running outside attempting to photograph the aurora borealis.
• The WOLO Ball with Hubster; including a new dinner suit and an experimental beard.
• H&H turning 20 and being most unimpressed about no longer being teenagers. A first birthday not all together and no family breakfast so it felt odd, but a lovely meal out in Lincoln.
• Illuminate at Sandringham with my parents to get us into the Christmas spirit.
• A weekend in France with friends — Toulouse Christmas Market, Pau, farmer protests and road blockades, and the joy of being back in the Pyrenees.
• A girls’ day in Cambridge with two lovely friends and dinner at The Ivy… followed by a cold that evening.

Underlying it all is a quiet gratitude....for shared moments, for bodies that heal, for conversations, laughter and light, and for the reminder that presence matters more than productivity.

This pause has been intentional. I’ve been listening, reflecting and gently reshaping what comes next. There’s much forming for the New Year, and it already feels more aligned with how I want to live and work.

For now… a soft exhale.

Wishing you a peaceful Christmas 🎄✨

“Part of self-care is knowing who we are, what we want, where our boundaries are, and being able to genuinely be ourselves.” Sharon Salzberg

Self-care looks different for each of us.

It’s not always about therapy, meditation, or journalling; sometimes it’s about using what’s available to you right now. A deep breath. A walk. A conversation. A pause.

We don’t know what we don’t know, and light bulb moments often arrive when we least expect them. ✨

As we move through life, different parts of us need nurturing in different ways. Growth isn’t a straight line. It’s a gentle recalibration, again and again.

If you’re ready to explore your own version of that recalibration, I can walk alongside you....blending the modalities that meet you where you are. 🌿

There’s a reason I’ve been quiet...

I’ve been in the wellness space for over 20 years; and wow, how it’s changed.

In the early days, much of what I studied and practised was labelled “woo woo”. Now, science is catching up and there’s evidence to back so much of it.

From alchemy being a word few dared to use to now being everywhere... from sharing wisdom in community circles to scrolling through endless snippets online....the landscape looks so different. Some of it is wonderful; some of it feels diluted. There’s a lot of noise.

Covid brought even more change. A flood of new practitioners, a rush of demand, and a focus that sometimes feels more on aesthetics than authentic well-being. People are buying the shiny rather than the real.

And now AI enters the space. A fascinating tool, yes, but one that comes with its own ethical questions, especially when we say we love the earth and yet forget the cost of these technologies.

For a while, I’ve felt quite isolated and lonely in my thinking; unsure if others saw or felt the same shift. I actually drafted this some time ago, but it was reading recent newsletter and seeing her subsequent reel that gave me the courage to finally share it. She expressed it far more eloquently than I ever could, yet her words reminded me that I’m not alone in what I’ve been feeling.

So, I’ve been pausing.

As I look to becoming an empty nester, as my body asks me to slow down, and as my sense of purpose shifts I find myself feeling a little rudderless. It’s unfamiliar… but maybe that’s the point.

Perhaps this pause is where the next layer of alchemy begins. ✨

Loneliness and isolation have a lot to teach us; especially when we stop trying to fix or hide them.

I’ve realised I’m not lonely because I’m alone; I’m alone because I choose peace, honesty, and authenticity over noise and people-pleasing.

When people drift away, I no longer chase or question it. I trust that space makes room for something better aligned.

Maybe that’s the quiet confidence that comes with age, or maybe it’s just the relief of finally being unapologetically myself.

💫 Here’s to solitude without sadness...and to being okay with who stays, and who doesn’t.

I am in a space of reflection… 🔮

Over 20 years in the well-being world has brought deep learning, countless modalities and profound experiences. I’ve also watched the word Alchemy move from something I had to explain to something that’s now everywhere.

My passion remains the same; helping people focus on their well-being, because without it, we don’t function well for long. But I’ll be honest.....I’m becoming bored of all these “solutions” being sold. The quick fixes, the next shiny offering, the endless promises of transformation. Surely I can’t be the only one?

What I’m seeing more and more is that what people truly need isn’t always what they think they need. True change doesn’t come from anything external, it starts within. As I often say: "You don’t know what you don’t know".

So, as I sit with my metaphorical crystal ball (and my real one) not to predict the future, but to gain clarity........I’m allowing space for what’s next to reveal itself. My socials will reflect that journey: less noise, more honesty.

Some offerings remain, commitments continue, and I’m paying it forward where I can. Here’s to authenticity, alignment and a little magic along the way ✨

✨ I spent a lovely morning online running an Introduction to EFT on behalf of the The Federation of Holistic Therapists .

Another smashing group of enthusiastic learners; such a joy to share this simple yet powerful technique and watch people experience those lightbulb moments. 💫

You don’t have to be an FHT member to join these sessions, so if you’ve ever been curious about Emotional Freedom Technique (Tapping), keep an eye out for future workshops!

✨Awe✨

There’s something about a sunrise that never fails to stop me in my tracks. That quiet moment where the world shifts from night to day feels like pure magic.

Science agrees; psychologists like Dacher Keltner have found that awe doesn’t just feel good; it reshapes us. It slows down our perception of time, enhances memory, lowers stress, and even supports heart health.

I notice it every day in nature’s wonders:
🌅 The rising and setting of the sun, painting the sky anew
☀️ Shafts of light streaming through clouds (as a child, I thought that was God)
🌸 A sky so blue… and yet flowers can be too
💧 Water, endlessly fascinating beyond words
💚 Green....my grounding, forever favourite

✨ “He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.” Albert Einstein ✨

Awe is my reminder to pause, to feel wonder, and to connect with something far greater than myself.

What moments of awe light up your world?

✨ Stepping on to the Path of Meditation ✨

I’m delighted to be speaking for the FHT at this year’s Training & Conference Webinars.

Meditation has physical and emotional benefits; it is the most accessible self-help tool available to us. Yet many people say they either can’t meditate or don’t know how.

In this seminar we’ll explore a few different meditation techniques, their benefits, and some of the neuroscience that shows why we all can step onto the path of meditation.

As a passionate well-being advocate, I’ve spent over 20 years pursuing knowledge in this field and exploring a vast array of healing modalities — including teaching meditation.

I believe we all hold the power within to heal and find balance in our worlds. Sometimes we just need a helping hand to guide and support us on the journey.
