Beautifully written x 💜

She sat at the back and they said she was shy
She led from the front and they hated her pride
They asked her advice and then questioned her guidance
They branded her loud then were shocked by her silence

When she shared no ambition, they said it was sad
So she told them her dreams and they said she was mad
They told her they'd listen then covered their ears
And gave her a hug whilst they laughed at her fears

And she listened to all of it, thinking she should
Be the girl they told her to be, best as she could
But one day she asked what was best for herself
Instead of trying to please everyone else

So she walked to the forest and stood with the trees
She heard the wind whisper and dance with the leaves
And she spoke to the willow, the elm and the pine
And she told them what she'd been told, time after time

She told them she felt she was never enough
She was either too little or far, far too much
Too loud or too quiet, too fierce or too weak
Too wise or too foolish, too bold or too meek

Then she found a small clearing, surrounded by firs
And she stopped and she heard what the trees said to her
And she sat there for hours not wanting to leave
For the forest said nothing, it just let her

breathe

Give your nervous system some care with reflexology 👣

We all carry stress differently - in our shoulders, our stomachs, our sleep patterns, even in how we breathe.
Reflexology offers a gentle, non-invasive way to support your body’s natural relaxation response. By working on reflex points in the feet, hands or ears, a reflexologist can help you unwind, ease tension and feel more balanced.

Whether you’re looking for a moment of calm in a busy week or ongoing support for your wellbeing, a regular session can be a powerful addition to your self-care routine.

💆‍♀️ Book your next treatment and give your nervous system some care, too.

👣 reflexology wisdom 👣

Ever feel off but can’t quite put your finger on why? According to Eunice Ingham, your feet might be holding the answer. Reflexology isn’t just about relaxation. It’s a way to tune into what your body’s trying to tell you. Trust your feet — they’ve got stories to tell. 💜

please, never be afraid to reach out and ask for help 💜

World Su***de Prevention Day – 10th September

Today is a reminder that even in the darkest moments, hope can be found, and connection can save lives.
You never truly know the battles someone may be carrying quietly. A simple check-in, a kind word, or a listening ear can make all the difference. 💛

If you are struggling, please know you are not alone. Reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness. There is help, and there are people who care deeply about you.

Together, let’s break the silence, challenge the stigma, and hold space for compassion.
Because every life matters. Every story matters. You matter.

This week, why not take just 60 minutes of your time, to learn the signs and how to start the conversation: https://traininghub.nosp.ie/

📞 If you or someone you know is in immediate crisis, please seek support from local emergency services or a trusted helpline in your area.
