Grief…it’s never straightforward and sometimes it doesn’t even make sense. It’s also messy, even confusing and moving towards accepting the loss takes time. Yesterday marked a year since my dear fur baby Maxi passed on and the pain I experienced a week to his passing and during his vigil last night was as fresh as, on the day when he passed. To my special humans who were by my side in person and on call all of yesterday, I love and appreciate you so much 🤍. Going through his pictures and videos, talking about the memories I had with him, sitting in silence, and the warm hugs and cuddles was cathartic. Also allowing me to cry really helped too 🥹❤️‍🩹. Remember that loosing anyone or anything that is special to you and that you loved so dearly is painful and it matters to you, even if others do not understand it. So, if you have lost anyone or anything recently or even years ago, know that you are not alone and it’s ok to grieve the loss in your own time and in your own way.

Difficult decisions are not easy to make, and they bring with it discomfort and the lack of convenience. Discomfort is relative as the situation you are in may have been uncomfortable but you got used to it; so when looking to get out of it, it may feel a stretch and deeply uncomfortable. Loosing the convenience you once had may also feel daunting. It’s important to remember that nothing can grow or change in a comfort zone and you may not be 100% ready to make that move. So take that leap of faith and see how different your life can be. Being able to learn, unlearn and relearn is a much needed skill in present day. And, indecision is also a decision.

Have an amazing day.

I found this beautiful post as I was scrolling a few days ago and it is something that I talk about a lot when referring to how to build strong and healthy connections in relationships. It takes work, consistency, effort and time to keep things going but so worth it if partners are committed. So if you are partnered invest in your partner and relationship, and allow it to be based on mutual effort and intention. And if you are not partnered, figure out what is important to you when building a strong connection, this way when you do meet someone, you know exactly what you want. It’s ok to settle down, but please don’t settle. 😊

Find people who make you feel like the sparkles on the ocean. And, when you find them, appreciate them as much as you can.

Thank you so much to the people who make me feel this way. Have a beautiful and blessed day.

It’s a gorgeous Magic Monday in sunny Nairobi, and today I am sharing this beautiful post to serve as a reminder that some people will talk to you in their free time, whilst some will free their time to talk to you. For the latter, you will receive that unconditional support without seeing the effort made or the intention that went in; so remember to do the same for them and don’t take this for granted either. Those kind of people are rare. Here are a few questions to reflect on; have you found yourself rearranging your own schedule to accommodate someone else’s? Has this kindness been reciprocated, so that it hasn’t felt one sided for you? Do you make time or find time to talk to people you care about? Do the people who say they love you, make time or find time to talk to you?

Have a beautiful and blessed day!

Sending out a kind reminder that getting tested is the only way to know for sure if you have an STI (Seggsually Transmitted Infection). An STI is a virus, bacteria, fungus or parasite that is spread through seggsual contact and/or activity (v@ginal, an@l, or@l and forepl@y). STI’s often do not initially cause symptoms, which results in a risk of transmitting them to others. Therefore, “I feel fine” is not a 💯 proof indicator that you are. Do get tested to make sure you are ok. This is also important if you have a new partner, so make a date and get tested together. Seggs carries a responsibility for you and others. And getting tested is super responsible and super seggsy! Remember safety and consent are paramount.

PSA: Learn to pay back the people you borrow from and if you can’t pay them back, don’t borrow from them. It can be uncomfortable having to ask for your money back, especially after you have been promised a payment and it’s not forthcoming. If you borrow money from someone it is your responsibility to keep them informed on when you will pay them back; and not for them to chase you for it. For your own peace of mind, don’t lend what you cannot do without, understand that not everyone has a heart like yours, so feel free to say No if you need to and ask yourself whether you are helping someone in their time of need or funding their lifestyle.

Hope this helps and have a lovely day.

Feeling validated is part of what constitutes being in a secure and healthy relationship. When applied mutually, it allows for conflict to be resolved and encourages repair after rupture. It also builds trust, safety and security in that relationship. Therefore, if you are partnered do it as often as you can.

What statements in this post resonate? And have you ever been in a position where you wanted to hear some of these statements but did not hear them from your partner? And if you are not partnered think of a past relationship or even a friendship.

Have a gorgeous day.

🧡🧡🧡

It’s the small things in a romantic partnership that can feel as painful as paper cuts if neglected, over a period of time. It’s important to understand that if these small things are not addressed, it could lead to partners growing apart and/or creating a bag of resentment, that can make the relationship hostile and even unhealthy. Learn to be mindful over these elements in your relationship and choose to show up in ways that your partner would appreciate. Talk even when it’s hard or feels awkward. And remember your relationship reflects the work you put into it, as partners.

If you are not partnered (and want to be) ask yourself if these are things you would easily do for yourself or someone you care about; then work from there.

Have an awesome Thursday.

💜💜💜

About Cathy Holden and the Almond Tree Wellness Center, Kenya

Before I went to University; I started out not knowing what my life’s purpose would be, but knew it had to do with helping people be their very best version of themselves. I was fortunate enough to study in the United Kingdom and pursued two degrees; back to back; a BSc in Psychology and an MSc in Occupational and Organizational Psychology. I then ended up working in Human Resources in the UK and then moved back to Kenya after 15 years. I carried on working in Human Resources and by 2018 (after 13 years in HR practice) I felt that I needed a change so that I can impact more people by helping them directly. I then took on a new post graduate degree to be a certified S*x Therapist (Therapy Certification Association, based in Miami, Florida).

S*x is in integral part of any relationship and human s*xuality is vast; Do we always know what to do with our s*xuality? Do we know enough about it? These are all questions I kept asking myself for many years, which led to me opening a new business in 2019 - The Almond Tree Wellness Center based in Nairobi, with my office in Doctor’s Park, on 3rd Parklands Avenue, about 100 meters from Aga Khan Hospital.

S*x Therapy is not a new field but while I was growing up, s*x was not something that people talked about freely and I have made it my purpose to help people understand what s*x therapy is about, what a s*x therapist does (and does not do) and how it can help you and/or your partner. There is much more to say on this type of therapy and I am looking forward to sharing my knowledge and expertise with all of you.

I am a member of the Kenya Counselling and Psychological Association and the British Psychological Society. I provide a range of counselling and s*x therapy services and looking forward to meeting and helping as many people as possible.
