✨ I did it! ✨
This is my first video talking on Instagram and wow, I have so much respect for people who do this all the time! It’s honestly nerve-wracking… but this message is too important to stay silent.

💜 November marks the start of my journey speaking publicly — taking Laurella out into the world.
So that Laura and Ella will be remembered forever — not just in grief, but as a sign of hope for others.

I’m so proud to share that myself and .squire1 will be joining on Tuesday 4th November to record a podcast with the incredible Laura Richards. This conversation will shine a light on the realities of domestic abuse, coercive control, and the urgent need for change.

This is only the beginning. I have talks booked, plans growing, and I won’t ever stop speaking out.
Because every single one of us deserves to live free from fear — and I want to help create a world where we are all trauma-informed, where we can recognise the signs of coercive control, and where our younger generation are taught what healthy love truly looks like.

This is for Laurella 💜
For Laura and Ella 💜
And for every woman and girl whose story deserves to be heard.

💔 For Our Girls 💔

We are ready.
Ready to speak the truth, raise awareness, and help prevent violence towards women and girls.

Lisa Squires and I will be joining the incredible Laura Richards on her Crime Analyst podcast — discussing the importance of recognising coercive control, understanding the patterns of predators, and how awareness can save lives.

This is my step sisters story, Libby’s story and many other — womens whose lives were stolen by men who had already shown patterns of harm and control.
There were signs, and there were so many missed opportunities — moments when intervention could have changed everything.

Lisa talks about the importance of reporting non-contact assaults — the stalking, following, exposure, or intimidation that predators often carry out long before a homicide.
These acts are not “minor.” They are red flags of escalating danger.
Every incident matters.
Every report could save a life.

It’s called coercive control — the invisible web that traps victims through fear, manipulation, and domination.
It’s not about love — it’s about power, control, and possession.

For Libby. For Laura. For Ella.
For every woman and girl who deserved to live safely, freely, and fully.
🕊️ For Our Girls.

For Our Girls 💔

My golly… it’s taken me a while to get my head around this.
After a lifetime of seeing control — of having it normalised, accepted, and even mistaken for love — my eyes are now wide open.
And I’m ready to teach what I wish I’d known earlier.

It so often starts at the beginning — and it moves so, so quickly.
Those whirlwind moments that feel like fate…
“Don’t you see yourself living in a house like this?”
“Let’s move in.”
“Let’s do life together.”
After just a couple of dates — “leave your things here,” “I can’t imagine life without you,” booking grand holidays like you’ve known each other forever.

It feels romantic — but it’s often love bombing, not love.
It’s the start of control disguised as connection.

This is the story of so many women including my sister Laura who end up in relationships with narcissists — men who charm and then control

And it’s Libby’s story too — a young woman whose life was taken by a man who had already harmed before leaving his trail of previous assaults!!
There would have been signs.
There were missed opportunities —
Moments that show why pattern recognition and prevention are so vital.

Before so many murders, there are signs.
Patterns of behaviour that show a predator’s mindset long before they kill.

It’s called coercive control — the invisible web that traps victims through fear, manipulation, and domination.

It’s about power, control, and possession.
That’s why Lisa and I are joining the incredible Laura Richards — criminal behavioural analyst, campaigner, and voice for victims on her podcast — whose work is truly life-changing in exposing and preventing male violence against women.

Together, we’ll be discussing our girls’ stories with Laura —
🎙️ The textbook behaviours of predators
🔍 How to recognise coercive control
🛑 And how we can stop murder before it happens

For Libby. For Laura. For Ella.
For every woman and girl who deserved to live safely, freely, and fully.
🕊️ For all of Our Girls.

💫Day 1 ✨✨✨Im so excited to be taking my hypnotherapy practice to the next level by training in Advanced Somatic Hypnotherapy with the incredible ✨and the American board of hypnotherapy

This next chapter feels so aligned — diving deeper into the body–mind connection, learning how trauma isn’t just held in our memories, but in our nervous system, tissues, and cells.

Somatic Hypnotherapy is such a powerful approach because it bridges hypnosis and somatic therapy, guiding clients to gently access and release trauma stored in the body. It helps us move beyond just “talking about” pain — and instead, feel, process, and integrate it safely at a deeper, subconscious level.

By combining somatic awareness with hypnotic healing, we can:
🌸 Reconnect with the body’s innate wisdom
🌸 Regulate the nervous system
🌸 Heal emotional wounds at their root
🌸 Create lasting transformation from the inside out

I can’t wait to weave this beautiful, embodied work into my sessions — helping clients not only shift their thoughts, but truly free their bodies and souls from trauma. 💛

CONTROL IS NOT LOVE

After being in a coercive controlling relationship, your body and mind don’t instantly recognise that they’re safe.
When you start to experience kindness, calm, or stability in a safe relationship, it can feel uncomfortable — even triggering.
Your nervous system has been conditioned to expect chaos, so peace can feel suspicious, and love without control can seem unreal.

A safe relationship feels steady, not perfect — it’s calm instead of chaotic, supportive instead of suffocating.
You’re allowed to express your feelings, make your own choices, and relax without fear of punishment or withdrawal.
Over time, your system learns that love doesn’t have to hurt, and that safety doesn’t mean danger is coming. 🌿

Through hypnotherapy and trauma-informed somatic coaching, I help survivors re-educate their minds and bodies to trust safety again.
✨ Hypnotherapy is a safe and highly effective therapy that works with the subconscious mind to gently rewrite old protective patterns — helping you accept calm, confidence, and self-worth.
🌿 Somatic coaching supports the body in releasing stored tension, freeze responses, and emotional blocks, allowing peace to feel safe inside you.

You are not broken — you’re healing.
With the right support, you can learn that calm is safe, and love can be kind. 💫

💔 Break the Silence. End the Violence.

Laurella 🤍🤍 Honouring Laura and Ella — my beautiful sister and niece — whose lives were stolen through domestic abuse.
Their story is a painful reminder that coercive control kills long before physical violence begins.

We must talk about it.
We must educate about it.
And we must shift the focus to the perpetrators — not the victims who tried to survive.

Coercive control is a pattern of domination that isolates, devalues, and erases.
It hides behind charm, manipulation, and fear — until it’s too late.

💛 Prevention begins with awareness.
💛 Change begins when we break the silence.
💛 Justice begins when we hold perpetrators accountable.

For Laura. For Ella.
For every woman and girl who deserves to live in safety and freedom.
