I am often aware of how much pressure January carries. Pressure to begin, to decide, to move forward before the body or nervous system is ready.

🌟From a personal and professional lens, I hold that there is no single way to mark a beginning.
Across cultures and traditions, New Year arrives at different moments, shaped by the sun, the moon, the land, and long-held spiritual practices.

🫶The examples shared here are only a few. They simply remind us that January is not the universal starting line it is often presented as.

💛If this time of year feels quiet, tender, or unfinished, I see that as information, not failure.
💛You may be in a phase of shedding, listening, or preparing the ground.

🌟There is room for many calendars.
🌟There is space for many beginnings.
🌟And there is wisdom in trusting your own timing.

I am not one for New Year’s resolutions.
Time is not linear. It is intuitive, energetic, and unique to each of us.✨

January can ask us to push forward before we are ready.
Much of that pressure comes from systems and timelines that were never shaped by the body or the earth.✨

✨Before calendars and clocks, change followed cycles.
Rest, pause, and gradual emergence were part of wisdom, not resistance.

✨This month, I choose alignment over conformity.✨

✨Reflection
What would it feel like to honour your natural pace?
If alignment, rather than effort, guided this month, what might begin to unfold?

There is no need to rush the ending of a year.
What you have lived already knows how to settle.

Some things are ready to return to the sea.
Others stay, not because you hold them tightly, but because they belong.

This is not about resolution or reinvention.
It is about self trust, listening inward, and carrying forward what is true.

Wishing you a 2026 shaped by clarity, steadiness, and self trust.

I am not one for New Year’s resolutions.
But I do believe in pausing at the end of a year to reflect.🌟

To notice the gifts, the lessons, and the challenges.
To receive with gratitude what arrived, even when it was unexpected.
To honour the journey exactly as it unfolded.

Thank you, 2025.🫶
And thank you to all those who crossed paths with me this year, online and in person.
Your honesty, presence, and courage have mattered more than you may realise.❣️

As you take a moment to reflect on 2025, I invite you to sit gently with a few questions.

🌟What has this year given you, even if it did not arrive in the way you hoped.
🌟What are you choosing to let go of as you move forward.
🌟What feels worth holding on to and protecting.
🌟And perhaps most importantly, what lessons are inviting you to step into your power with greater clarity and self trust.

There is wisdom in what you have lived.
Take a moment to listen to it. 💛

Making space in my diary for creativity matters to me. There will always be lists, so I choose to just do it.❤️‍🔥

Last weekend I spent some time making candles 🕯️ I always look forward to creating space every few months to slow down and make something. I love being creative. Knitting, poetry, art, music, dance 🎶🧶🎨 Anything that helps me move out of my head and into the present moment, which creativity always does.🪄

There is something especially grounding about candle making. Choosing clean soya wax, picking the fragrance, and using recycled jars I have been collecting for months so they can have a second life 🌿

Making things slowly helps me drop out of my head and back into my body. It settles my nervous system in a way few things do 💛

I love creating 💛
I love giving 💛

If they turn out well, they will become Christmas gifts 🎁
If not, I will light them for myself and let my evenings glow a little brighter ✨

Either way, I get to receive from my own creativity.💛
And that feels like a gift in itself 🕯️🌱

If you feel the urge to be creative, just do it.❤️‍🔥

🌱 Becoming From Within
Supporting young people to explore identity, values, and self expression.

I’m really glad to be sharing the second of two professional CPD trainings focused on working with young people up to age 25. This workshop stands fully on its own, while also gently aligning with The Adolescent Mirror for those who feel drawn to continue the journey.

Young people often show us who they are through creativity long before they can fully explain it in words. Art, movement, metaphor, and story can hold what feels too big, too tender, or too undefined to speak yet.

This creative and experiential half day training is an invitation to slow down and explore how expressive and values based approaches can support identity, emotional understanding, and self trust in adolescence and emerging adulthood.

It is designed for professionals who want to feel more confident offering creative pathways to expression, especially when language feels limited, and who want to do so in ways that are ethical, attuned, and grounded in relationship.

Drawing on my background as a former secondary school teacher and now as a child and adolescent psychotherapist, supervisor, and trainer, this workshop holds both the developmental realities of young people and the professional challenges of those supporting them.

🗓 Saturday 28 February 2026
⏰ 10.00 am to 1.00 pm
💻 Online via Zoom
🎓 3 CPD hours. Certificate included
💶 €80

For counsellors, psychotherapists, youth practitioners, educators, mentors, and supervisors working with young people up to age 25.

More information and booking via link in bio.
If you feel drawn to attend both trainings, you are very welcome to reach out to me directly via DMs or at michelle@dynamicwellbeing.ie.

This Christmas, receiving may be the most radical act of all.
Not watching joy from the outside, but allowing it to land.
A soft breath in. A full exhale.
Let the moment meet you. ✨🌿

What might change if you allowed yourself to truly receive this Christmas?💛

The Adolescent Mirror
Understanding identity, resistance, and relationship in the in between space.

I’m really glad to be sharing the first of two professional CPD trainings focused on working with young people up to age 25. This workshop stands fully on its own while also aligning with a second creative CPD training, Becoming From Within, taking place on Saturday 28 February 2026, for those who feel drawn to continue the journey.

Working with young people often means meeting resistance, silence, testing, and moments of sudden honesty. These are not blocks to the work but important forms of communication.

This reflective half day training is an invitation to slow down and explore what sits beneath behaviour, and to deepen relational understanding of identity, autonomy, and connection in adolescence and emerging adulthood.

Having previously worked as a secondary school teacher and now as an experienced child and adolescent psychotherapist, supervisor, and trainer, I hold both the educational and emotional realities that young people and the professionals supporting them are navigating.

Alongside open enrolment trainings, I also design and deliver tailored CPD for colleges, schools, and organisations working with young people. If you would like to explore an in house training or group booking, you are very welcome to get in touch.

Sometimes the world offers quiet reassurance.
You just have to pause long enough to receive it, not only see it.
Letting the body soften allows the moment to settle.
Let the gift of a moment land. 💛
