A gentle reminder for the last week of January and as some students begin their mock exams.
Small pauses during the day support your nervous system more than you realise.
🔹stretch your arms overhead after sitting for a while.
🔸pause for one breath before you answer the next question
🔹place your feet flat on the floor and notice the support beneath you.
🔸close your eyes for 10 seconds & soften your face
🔹drop your shoulders and unclench your jaw while waiting in a queue.
Small pauses
Real impact.

This week remind yourself nothing is perfect and we grow when we makes mistakes & challenges present themselves.
Perfection is a myth but being true to yourself is a gift 🎁 🦋

Progress asks something of us.
It invites change.
Change can feel uncomfortable.
It can stir fear, resistance and self doubt.
Yet growth rarely comes from staying safe.
It comes from trying, stumbling, learning & beginning again.
When we allow space for mistakes, we build resilience.
When we support children and adults to take gentle risks, we nurture confidence.

The Beekeeper of Aleppo is a powerful and beautifully written book.
It shows the heartbreak, courage and hope carried by refugees on their long and often unseen journeys.
The book was inspired by real-life experiences the author witnessed while working with refugees in Athens.
The book invites a deep sense of empathy and understanding for all children and adults who ensure these difficult journeys trying to find safety.
I am really looking forward to seeing this as a play in the in May.

A gentle reminder as this week begins.
YOU don’t need to rush.
YOU don’t need to do it all.
Small, steady steps are enough.

The Winter Solstice invites a pause.
A moment to honour the darkness, the quiet and the slowing down.
Even in stillness growth is happening.
Even in shadows, light is forming.
This season reminds the heart to trust the rhythms of life.
Trust the small steps.
Trust the gentle beginnings
Trust the light always finds its way back.
May the Solstice bring rest, comfort and quiet hope to anyone who needs it today.

This beautiful decoration came by post yesterday and was a lovely surprise from a fabulous family I have been working with for the past two years.
I supported the family as their child got an early Autism diagnosis and then supported the child to prepare for starting school. Early intervention and accessing supports can make such a difference to a child and the family.
Every Autism journey is different but I can now use my experience as a teacher and a parent to share different ways that might be useful. My Méabh has taught me so much over the years and continues to push her own boundaries to show there are no limits to what can be achieved.

I have always found our emotions fascinating and how they can have such an impact on your physical health. Our emotions can help us to have positive or negative interactions with our friends and family. Over my many years as a primary teacher and in my role as a Sensory Integration teacher in the Early Focus Project in Dublin 8 I have realized and learnt how children need to and want to learn about their feelings. Children enjoy being active and curious but they also enjoy being quiet and calm in the right environment. I have used my experience as a Primary teacher, Mother of three, SNA and carer of Special needs child to put together a Well-being program that teaches children how to understand their physical and emotional health.
It is only with the right supports that we can all find our wings and become who we are meant to be. We will all go through trauma and tough times during our life but with the right support team around us our toughest times can sometimes become our greatest teacher and healer. If we can give our children the knowledge of how to understand and support their own emotional health I firmly believe that they will all find their wings and be truly happy.
What supports do I offer ?
Mindfulness & Well-being lessons for whole class and small groups in schools or Pre-schools. These lessons can include a selection of Mindfulness, Brain Gym, Primary movements, yoga, Emotional literacy, Story massage and relaxation.
1:1 private well-being sessions with children and parents.
Staff training for Croke park hours for Primary schools.
