✨ Final assignment vibes ✨

I'm finishing off one last assignment before I reveal all my new treatments. 😀✨️🦋

Let’s just say… it’s all about tuning in 😉

It may not be a workout for your body, but your mind and nervous system are about to feel like they’ve had a spa day. 💆‍♀️✨

Can you guess what I’ve been working on? 👀🎶

✨ Safe to Let Go ✨

This week, a client shared something that meant so much to me:
“I feel safe to let go here. I feel held. I feel cared for.”

Those words mean everything. That is all I ever hope to create, a space where people can soften, release, and know they are not alone.

Human beings are wired for connection. Psychiatrist Bessel van der Kolk, author of The Body Keeps the Score, reminds us that safety in relationship is the foundation for healing. Without it, the body stays in survival mode. With it, the body and mind can finally rest and repair.

Research professor Brené Brown also teaches that connection and belonging are fundamental to our wellbeing. She says, “Connection is why we’re here, it gives purpose and meaning to our lives.”

And the truth is, I can hold space for others because I am held too.
The people who anchor me, who care for me, who remind me that I am safe and supported, they are the reason I can do this work.
They are my reminder that none of us heal or thrive alone.

💫 Healing begins the moment we feel safe enough to let go. ✨️

🌿✨ Exciting news to share - Nutrition ✨🌿

By 2026, I hope to complete my Level 5 Nutrition course with the recognised Future Fit. This has been a dream of mine for some time, and I’m so excited to be bringing it to life. 💫

When I begin, I’ll be taking on only a small number of clients, starting with a 3-month programme followed by monthly maintenance support. Alongside holistic nutrition, I’ll be offering positive body image and self - esteem coaching . This will be a blend of my own lived experiences and recognised tools + techniques, with a focus on gentle, nourishing, feminine ways of being. 🌸

This journey is about more than food, it’s about self-love, habits rooted in self-worth, and a softer way of living.

I’m still growing, learning, and creating… and I can’t wait to share more with you as this vision unfolds.

💌 If this sounds like something you’d love to be part of, give this post a like so I know you’re interested or share with someone who this might help 💕

✨️ WELCOME ✨️

Where your body, mind, and soul are nurtured with unhurried, personalised care. 💆‍♀️💖

Every treatment is intuitive, designed just for YOU, with little touches that make all the difference from heated eye masks, goody bags, and gentle aftercare guidance.

Because selfcare isn’t indulgence… it’s how you take your power back. 🌿

Looking forward to seeing you soon. 💕

✨ Boundaries Are Medicine ✨

Here’s the truth, your health depends on your boundaries.
Not just your immune system, not just your whole food diet, not just your morning yoga flow. If your boundaries are shaky, your energy leaks, your stress spikes, and your body feels it!!!

🌀 “No” is a complete sentence.
🌀 Rest is productive.
🌀 Protecting your peace is not selfish, it’s sacred self-respect.

When you set boundaries, you teach others how to treat you and you remind yourself that your time, your body, your heart, and your energy are not up for grabs. ❤️🙏🦋

Tips for Strong Boundaries -

1. Say it straight. Stop sugarcoating. Boundaries don’t need a PowerPoint. Be short, kind, firm.

2. Check your body. If your chest tightens or your gut flips when you say “yes,” that’s your intuition saying “hell no.”

3. Prioritise rest. You don’t earn worthiness by overextending yourself to others.

4. Drop the guilt. Guilt is a sign of old conditioning, not truth. Core beliefs that wr have held all our life. Question the guilt.

5. Remember - boundaries are bridges, not walls. They connect you to healthier relationships, not to isolate you.

❤️ Boundary setting is empowering health care. It lowers stress hormones, boosts mental clarity, and deepens your spiritual connection. When you honour your own “yes” and “no,” you step into your power fully.

So, next time someone pushes your limit?

Channel your inner wisdom and remember,
✨ “If it costs me my peace, it’s too damn expensive.” ✨

Peace and love ❤️

🍂✨ Stepping into September ✨🍂

As August comes to a close, we step into September, a season of fresh beginnings, grounding energy, and the quiet strength of autumn. Each year September invites us to grow, to embrace change, and to shape new chapters.

This year feels especially powerful, as I open the doors to all my new treatments, offerings that I have always dreamed of creating for you. It’s a season of expansion, alignment, and stepping into the fullness of what’s possible. ❤️🙏

I send you my heartfelt well wishes and intentions, may this September bring you clarity, balance, and opportunities that light up your path.
May you feel nurtured, empowered, and supported as you step into your own new beginnings.

🍁 Here’s to shaping, growing, and flourishing together this autumn. 🍁

With warmth and gratitude,

🌱 Coping vs. Thriving: Why Nervous System Tools Aren’t Always Enough 🌱

Regulation techniques like breathwork, grounding exercises, or mindfulness practices are powerful.
They help calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and bring us back to a place where we can think and respond more clearly.

Research in polyvagal theory (Dr. Stephen Porges) and trauma recovery (Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, The Body Keeps the Score) shows just how life saving these tools can be for our mental and physical health.

But here’s an important distinction - while nervous system tools help us cope, they don’t always help us thrive.

✨️They won’t fix a job that leaves you burned out.

✨️They can’t repair a relationship that continuously harms you.

✨️ They won’t resolve living in a way that goes against your deepest values.

Healing is not only about soothing your body in a stressful environment, it often requires evaluating and changing the environment itself. As psychologist Carl Rogers once said, “The good life is a process, not a state of being.” Sometimes that process asks us to step into new spaces where our nervous system doesn’t just need to manage, but can actually rest and flourish.

✨ Nervous system tools are essential, they give us the resilience to take action. But long term wellbeing often comes from deeper shifts that are aligning with healthier environments, supportive relationships, and value driven choices.

You deserve not just survival, but a life that feels life-making. 💛✨️🙏🧚‍♀️

✨ Considering Daytime Appointments ✨

At the moment, nothing is changing, but I’m exploring the idea of offering some daytime appointment options in the future.

This could be especially helpful for:

✨️Retirees

✨️Shift workers

✨️Parents on maternity leave

✨️Anyone who finds daytime more convenient than evenings

If this sounds like it would suit you, I’d love to hear your feedback!
Simply give this post a “like” or drop me a message. If you can think of someone that this would benefit, then please share it with them.

🌿✨ FULLY BOOKED 🌿✨

Thank you to my regulars and all new enquiries that have been sent to me in the last few months.

As stated previously, I am finishing some training courses, and I will get back to all who have enquiried before today and you will receive an appointment by the end of September.

Unfortunately, as of today, I am now fully booked.

I’m unable to take on new clients at this time. It’s such a blessing to be this busy, doing the work I love, and I’m beyond thankful for the trust and support that’s made this possible. 💜

The exciting news is that I am reassessing things and I want to grow this business even further so I can open up space again in the new year, but for now I’m pouring my energy into supporting my amazing existing clients and living this dream life I’ve created.

Thank you for understanding and for being part of this journey with me. 🙏✨

With gratitude,

🌸 Zen Reset Challenge 🌸

Stop scrolling for just one minute.

✨ Close your eyes.
✨ Try this Box Breathing Technique -

Inhale for 4 counts 🫁

Hold for 4 counts ✋

Exhale for 4 counts 🌬

Hold for 4 counts again

Repeat this cycle 3 times. 💕

Now, place your hand on your heart and say quietly -
💖 “I deserve peace.”

On a Friday afternoon, after a week of constant tasks, deadlines, and mental strain, pausing to breathe gives our minds and bodies a chance to reset. 🩷

That small moment of stillness helps release built up tension, restore focus, and create space to transition from work mode into rest and renewal for the weekend.🤩

Love and light ✨️ 💛 💕

✨ A Little Milestone Worth Sharing ✨

Over the past 6 weeks, I’ve been on an incredible journey of growth, completing 6 courses in 6 weeks! Each one has been a stepping stone towards shaping The Zen Lotus into what I’ve always envisioned: a place where people can feel empowered, supported, and inspired to live to their fullest potential. 🌸

The course I completed today has left me absolutely buzzing with excitement. I can’t reveal too much just yet (that’s coming next month 😉), but I can say this, it’s a technique that can help release blocks, ease the weight of emotions we carry, and open the door to real transformation, for both mind and body.

I’m proud of myself for committing to this path, but more than that, I’m grateful. Grateful to be able to continue learning, growing, and bringing new ways of healing and empowerment to my clients.

Simon Squibb reminds us that when we want to live out our dreams, we should ask what is our why, and my why has always been simple:
💜 To help people heal
💜 To remind them of their strength
💜 To guide them towards their true potential

I cannot wait to share what’s coming next. Thank you all for being part of this journey with me, the best is yet to come! 🌟

With love & light,

Carly x
