All set for today’s luxury sensory scalp massage & facial treat ❤️

An hour of slow, indulgent care… scalp massage, full body relaxation, and a Neal’s Yard facial ritual.

Warm hands.
Soft rhythm.
That gradual feeling of everything in the body beginning to let go.

The kind of treatment where time gets a little blurry and your nervous system finally stops holding everything together.

This is the best nervous system reset everrrrrr 😉❤️

New Moon Candle Blessings 🌙✨

This new (wishing) moon, I’m quietly preparing a small batch of ritual candles for gifting.

Each one is cleansed, blessed, and intentionally imbued — some holding the energy of love, some for abundance and flow, and others for unexpected, pleasant surprises.

Candle magic is an ancient, gentle practice.
When we align our focus with lunar cycles and the turning of the seasons (with Beltane just around the corner), intention has space to root, grow, and unfold.

The new moon is a potent time for this — a moment of beginnings, of calling things in, of setting energy in motion.

Once charged, each candle will be sent to its new owner with guidance on:
• when to burn
• how to work with the ritual
• how to read the wax as it melts

Because the ritual speaks.
Through flame, through timing, through the patterns that reveal themselves — there are always signs, symbols, and small messages waiting to be noticed.

This is a peek into my passion for earth based & kitchen witch magic that’s always been with me since I was born 😉🩶🤍

On International Women’s Day I’ve been reflecting on the ancient idea of the Kali Yuga — the age we are said to be living in according to Hindu cosmology.

Rather than seeing this simply as a difficult era, it can also be understood as a powerful time of awakening. When old structures no longer serve life, deeper wisdom begins to rise to the surface.

In the great stories of India, the goddesses Kali and Durga appear in moments like this. They embody clarity, protection, courage and the restoration of balance.

Their energy reminds us that the feminine carries immense creative and restorative power. It brings truth where there has been confusion, protection where life needs safeguarding, and wisdom that reconnects humanity with the living world.

Perhaps this is why so many women are remembering their voices, their intuition and their authority in this moment of history.

Women everywhere are nurturing life, speaking truth, restoring balance in families and communities, and guiding change with intelligence and heart.

And to the men who walk beside us, honouring and uniting with this balance of feminine and masculine wisdom

Happy International Women’s Day.

In these fast, uncertain times, many people are noticing just how much pressure their nervous systems are under.

Constant stimulation, emotional overload, world events, digital noise, and the pace of modern life can quietly pull us out of balance. We may feel anxious yet exhausted, mentally busy yet unfocused, physically tense yet depleted.

This is exactly where flower essences come into their own.

Gentle yet profound, they work through resonance with the subtle emotional field, helping to stabilise and harmonise inner states. By supporting shifts in awareness, they encourage the nervous system to settle, thoughts to become clearer, and the body to release held tension — restoring a natural equilibrium between emotions, mind, and physical wellbeing.

The beautiful system of Bach Flower Remedies supports common human states such as overwhelm, fear, worry, shock, and emotional fatigue. They help soften reactivity and encourage steadiness, clarity, and resilience.

Alongside these, the contemporary range from Ann Callaghan at Indigo Essences speaks deeply to the challenges of modern life — supporting sensitivity, boundary strength, energetic protection, and the ability to stay centred amid rapid change.

Together, these essences can help:

• calm emotional turbulence
• quiet mental overactivity
• ease stress held in the body
• strengthen inner stability
• support clear, grounded decision-making

Rather than suppressing feelings, they gently help us process, integrate, and rebalance — so we can meet life with greater steadiness and presence.

✨ Bespoke Essence Consultations Available ✨

If you feel drawn, I offer personal consultations to explore your current emotional landscape and create a tailored combination remedy just for you.

Your custom blend is provided in a convenient oral spritz bottle, easy to carry and simple to use throughout the day — a small but powerful ally for staying centred in challenging times.

Sharing a memory of this beautiful 250-year-old property near York where I attended to perform a House Healing 5 years ago 💕

The family had recently moved in and already experienced some areas that felt off & the children were unsettled at night

People sometimes wonder what a house healing actually involves, so here’s a little window into the process…

Every place has its own presence — often described as the Spirit of Place — the unique consciousness of a building, home, or land. When space is held quietly and respectfully, this deeper intelligence tends to reveal what will best support harmony, balance, and wellbeing for all who live there, including family members, pets, plants, and visitors.

Part of the work involves sensing and dowsing the natural flows that move through a property — such as underground water lines, earth energies, and environmental influences — and gently restoring coherence where these may feel disrupted or draining.

Homes can also hold emotional imprints from past events or difficult periods in their history. When these are acknowledged and cleared, there is often a noticeable lightness that returns to the atmosphere of the space. Occasionally, this process may also include helping lost or unsettled souls continue their natural transition into peace, which is always experienced as a deeply calm and beautiful moment.

Sometimes these stories reach back far beyond the house itself, connecting to the longer history of the land. Each place carries its own unique narrative, which is always fascinating to witness.

By the end, the intention is simply that the space feels settled, balanced, and quietly protected — able to fully support the next chapter of life unfolding within it.

It’s a gentle but powerful gift to offer a home, especially at times of change or new beginnings 💕

This month I am offering a FREE 5 minute dowsing check for your property . Want to know whats aligned or off balance ? Drop me a message here or WhatsApp 07960751354

Dr Lara Briden is a naturopathic doctor (ND) with nearly three decades of clinical experience in women’s health. She holds a Bachelor of Science in evolutionary biology and a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine, and is the bestselling author of Period Repair Manual, Hormone Repair Manual, and Metabolism Repair for Women, practical, science-grounded guides on hormones, menstrual health, and metabolic function. She sits on scientific advisory committees and treats conditions like PCOS, PMS, endometriosis, perimenopause, and metabolic dysfunction in her Christchurch, New Zealand practice.

Metabolic health comes from general health. Specifically, it comes from getting everything you need, including (but not limited to) protein, movement, and outdoor light.

The female body doesn't like to be micromanaged. Instead, can we embrace a little more softness in pursuit of metabolic health? And a little less rigidity? Health is a dynamic, whole-body project, not a numbers game.

"You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves."
