With life filled with demands we can feel that the life we are living is moving away from us and out of our control. We dream of reducing our stress levels to give us balance in our lives and we search for different relaxation techniques to heal and support us through our life journey.

Walking Your Timeline to Cultivate Your Community of Self: Healing Your Narrative

I’m honoured to be co-leading a powerful workshop with my life and business parter, Carl, at this year’s Oxford Storytelling Festival, exploring how we relate to our own biography – not just as a linear story, but as a living, evolving relationship with all versions of ourselves.

In this shamanically-inspired journey, we’ll walk our timelines, meeting our past and future selves to:
✨ Bring back wisdom
✨ Offer healing and love
✨ Cultivate a deeper, supportive community within

Through guided drum journeying and integration, we’ll open a space for transformation, where old stories shift and new questions emerge.

Come with curiosity. Leave in new relationship to yourself.

Join us for this practical, soul-nourishing experience.

🌸 Yoga in Bishop's Waltham and Online 🌸

My yoga classes have restarted for the autumn term!

Do you

👉 love to develop a sense of community with like-minded folks
👉 enjoy yoga for the sense of peace it can bring alongside the physical ease
👉 want to give yourself some breathing space in your week
👉 need a good stretch and enjoy a better night's sleep for it!

I'm an unpretentious teacher, as I prefer real talk myself!

I like the mechanics as well as the magic of yoga so you'll get a mix of tips on alignment, simple stress management you can do at home, as well yoga psychology.

Above all, I like it to make you feel really good 🥰

I have classes:

🧘 Mondays at 4.30pm that are tuned for women's health
🧘 Mondays at 6pm for classical hatha yoga, open to everyone and no experience necessary
🧘 Wednesdays at 7.30pm (online only) for a mixture of yin (slow, passive stretches that get into the connective tissue) and restorative yoga

Do message me if you'd like to know more, or would like to come for a trial.

Healing your own

👉 people pleasing to keep everyone happy
👉 self denial because you can cope where others might not be able to
👉 perfectionism, so you can stay safe
👉 laid back nature covering for feeling your needs won't be met anyway, so best not have any anyway
👉 overwork, so you don't have to deal with unsatisfying relationships
👉 exhaustion from being everything to everyone except yourself
.. will set you free.

The energy you regain. The calm. Peace of mind. Clarity. Good boundaries. Loving and satisfying relationships.

That's what I'm here for. To coach and guide you through your unique healing process.

Get in touch if you want to work together. We can work in person in Wi******er or Bishop's Waltham, or we can work online from anywhere.

Life doesn’t always come with clear directions.

Sometimes we reach a crossroads and don’t know which way to turn.

Sometimes we feel stuck in the middle of something painful or confusing, and can’t see the way through.

That’s where life coaching can help.

As a coach, my role is to create a safe, judgment-free space for you to explore the big and small questions in your life, and to begin charting a path forward that feels true to you.

Here are just some of the things clients bring to our sessions:

👉 “Is this all there is?”
👉 “My relationship is breaking down, and I don’t know how to make myself understood.”
👉 “What’s next for my business or career?”
👉 “I don’t know what’s wrong with me… I just don’t feel like myself.”
👉 “I’m in pain and I don’t know what to do about it.”
👉 “I can’t sleep. Help!”

In our work together, I use a blend of deep listening, powerful questioning, communication tools, and visualisation techniques to help you uncover what you really want – and how to move towards it with clarity and self-trust.

We’ll explore where you are now, where you want to go, and how to bridge the gap in a way that honours your whole self: emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually.

✨ No situation is too big or too small. If it matters to you, it matters.

📩 DM me if you’re ready to start asking new questions, and getting clearer answers.

Behind the scenes of retreat prep...

As I start to prepare myself for the new year retreat (yes, I do start prep in August!), one of the first things I do is tune in to each person who signs up and see which helpers want to work with them.

Typically, two or three of these crystal beings will want to work together to help.

The process is beautiful!
👉 I hold the person in mind
👉 I go through my stores of crystals asking which stones want to work with this individual. I wait to see which ones 'respond' - for me, this often feels like a sense of aliveness in a stone, a pulse of energy, or a sudden certainty.
👉 I usually find one anchor stone and then one or two allies that provide further direction or specificity. This process is fascinating! Stones don't always want to work together, or they'll tell me it's not the right time for the individual.
👉 I cleanse them and leave them out at least a day to see if they are happy to work together. The overnight helps me to bring fresh perception. I feel I 'hear' better when I come back to them after a break.
👉 what the crystals are, and what they are traditionally used for, doesn't come into the choice initially, though once I feel they are the right stones, then I delve into the available wisdom on their usage that will be important to note.
👉 when it feels right, the crystals are packed together, and a message is written for the recipient. They will stay packed for much of the next months until the wider group of the retreat has mostly formed. Then, I'll bring them back out and check each grouping to see if it is still a good match.

As you can imagine, it takes time to do this for each participant. For me, it brings an energetic depth that will be felt by participants in advance as well as on the retreat.

This is just one ritual of many that I will undertake over the coming months.

Energetic preparation is one of the hidden factors in what makes a facilitator stand out. So, I thought I'd share one of my rituals with you.

Participants don't need to have any experience working with crystals as guidance is provided on retreat 😁

I hope you enjoyed this little insight 🥰

Sound is more than just a backdrop, it’s like medicine.

In meditation, sound can anchor your mind, relax your nervous system, and shift your emotional state in seconds.

Whether it's a chime, mantra, singing bowl or gentle music, the right sound helps you drop deeper, faster, especially if you're new to meditation or find it hard to sit still.

In my Bespoke Meditation Recordings, I weave sound into the experience to help you release, soften, and reconnect.

🧘‍♀️ Ready to explore how sound can support your nervous system and deepen your practice?

*Deadline approaching*

My annual Reiki Master Teacher Training is happening in October ✨

Ready to take your Reiki practice to the next level?

Join me for Reiki Master Teacher Training on Thursday 2nd and Friday 3rd October 2025 in Wi******er Hampshire.

*Please register by 12th September to secure your space. We usually say allow at least 2 months prior to the in-person course date to complete the home learning portion. However, if you are keen to take this next step in your development, and willing to devote a little more time in the coming weeks, we can direct you to the most important elements to familiarise yourself with beforehand.*

A deep, enriching journey into self-healing, advanced practitioner skills, and learning how to pass the Reiki gift on to others.

This hybrid training combines guided home study with two powerful days of in-person energy work and learning.

You'll receive a rich toolkit of meditations, empowerments, and practical teachings, all supported by the beautifully comprehensive Reiki Evolution materials.

Afterwards, you’ll be invited into an ongoing circle of support and professional development to help you keep growing.

Let’s deepen your path together 💫

So this summer, amid the glorious celebrations of turning 50, and the sad stresses of a very ill parent, I've managed to squeeze in a holiday to Ireland to complete the final module of my Transpersonal Therapist training.

Receiving this certificate brought such a burst of joy and satisfaction, and I am looking forward to bringing new offerings to you all now.

We've been integrating shamanic practices on retreats for the last four years, notably through helping people find their inner support system of power animals and spirit guides, and helping people learn how to walk their timelines for advice from their own community of selves (the different versions of themselves, in past and future).

I will now be offering Shamanic Reiki cord-cutting, and block removal, Shamanic Counselling, and Power retrieval services.

I am also brewing something on unity consciousness, which is such a core part of transpersonal awareness.

More on all of these to come over the Autumn months.

For right now, some rest and acknowledgement of the important milestones of the summer ☀️
