Before setting intentions, ask questions your nervous system can answer 👇

Intention setting doesn’t need pressure or performance. It begins with listening, gently and honestly.

Here are grounding questions to support intention setting that honours your nervous system.

Begin with the body
• What helps my body soften right now?
• What feels steady, even if small?
• What does my body need more of this month?

Create safety before change
• What helps me feel safe enough to be myself?
• What environments help me regulate and recharge?
• What would “enough” feel like in my body?

Gentle intention setting
• What quality do I want to bring into my days?
• What pace feels sustainable for me right now?
• What feels nourishing rather than demanding?

Letting go without forcing release
• What am I ready to loosen my grip on?
• What no longer needs my constant attention?
• What feels complete, even if imperfect?

Honouring capacity and energy
• What feels possible, not ideal but possible?
• Where could I receive more support?
• How do I know when I’ve done enough?

Trust and timing
• What feels true for me right now?
• What feels like the next gentle step, not the whole path?
• What can I allow to take its time?

Closing reflection
• If I listened deeply to my body this year, what might change?

You don’t need to answer everything.
Let one question meet you.
Let the body respond first.

Save this for a quiet moment, journaling practice, or nervous system reset.

If you are feeling stuck or like something is holding you back, get in touch to book a session to release underlying sabotage programmes 💫

This year doesn’t need force. It needs safety 💫

January often arrives with pressure - new goals, fresh starts, big intentions.

Yet your nervous system doesn’t respond to pushing or striving.

It responds to feeling safe, seen, and supported.

When we set intentions from a stressed body,
they often turn into self-criticism or exhaustion.
But when the body feels calm, intentions become steady and sustainable - something you can actually live with, not chase.

This is your invitation to begin differently.

Pause before planning. Let your body arrive first and check back in for Part 2 ;)

Much love, Alex

You don’t need to become someone new to begin...

At the start of a new year, it’s easy to believe we need to fix ourselves, improve ourselves, or push past who we’ve been.

But what if this year is about remembering rather than reinventing?

Let this affirmation guide you gently forward:
“I trust my timing.
I honour my pace.
I allow this year to unfold with ease.”

Return to it when doubt appears.
Let it soften your breath.
Let it remind you that you are already enough.

Read this aloud. Feel it land. Save for later and follow me for more NS regulation and gentle balances this year.

Much love, Alex 🌻

Happy New Year ✨

May this year meet you with softness,
clarity, and steady breath.
Less rushing, more listening.
Less pressure, more presence.

Step forward gently - your nervous
system will thank you.
Here’s to a year of grounded growth and wellbeing, one small moment at a time.

Much love, Alex 💫

24 days... Countless small moments of coming home to yourself 💫

This Advent Reset wasn’t about doing more - it was about softening, listening, and reconnecting with the body’s natural rhythm during one of the busiest times of the year.

Over 24 days, we explored nervous system regulation, gentle kinesiology tools, breathwork, reflection, colour attunement, and feminine rituals - all designed to support calm, clarity, and inner balance.

If you joined me, thank you for showing up for yourself in small, meaningful ways.
If you’re watching this now, let this be your reminder: your body is always inviting you back into safety, balance, and ease.

These practices don’t end here. They become anchors you can return to - in real life, real moments, real overwhelm.

And if you feel you’d benefit from more personalised, one-to-one support, I currently have a few session spaces available before I go on hiatus. Together we can work gently and specifically with your body, stress patterns, and goals.

This is not the end - it’s a beginning! 💫

Today marks the completion of your 24-Day Reset. Not as a finish line, but as a gentle handover - from guided support back to your own inner wisdom.

You’ve spent this month tuning into your body, your breath, your emotions, and your energy.

Those tools don’t disappear - they now live within you.

Before closing this journey, take a moment to reflect:
• What practice supported me most?
• What does my body need more of moving forward?
• What am I committed to protecting in my wellbeing?

Place a hand on your heart and acknowledge yourself - for showing up, even gently. That counts more than you know.

Carry this steadiness, awareness, and softness into the months ahead.

Save this post as a reminder of what you’ve created and feel free free to share your experiences in the comments below 👇

Integration is where the magic settles 💫

After moments of insight, ritual, and expansion, your body needs time to integrate. This is where shifts anchor and change becomes sustainable.

Today is about softness. Less input. More listening. Allow your nervous system to absorb the practices, reflections, and awareness you’ve invited in over the past weeks.

You might notice subtle changes - deeper breaths, calmer responses, clearer boundaries, or a quieter mind. These are signs your system is recalibrating.

Support integration by:
• resting without guilt
• drinking warm nourishing fluids
• moving slowly and intentionally
• reducing stimulation where possible

Trust that even in stillness, something meaningful is unfolding.

Give yourself permission to rest today.

Much love, Alex

Today, the light stands still in the Southern Hemisphere 💫

The Summer Solstice is the longest, most illuminated day of the year - a powerful pause point where light, warmth, and expansion peak.

Energetically, this is a moment of fullness. A time to honour the woman you are now, not who you’re trying to become. The growth, the courage, the lessons, and the quiet strength you’ve cultivated this year.

Today is not about doing more - it’s about receiving. Let yourself stand in the light, acknowledge your journey, and allow gratitude to move gently through your body.

Simple Solstice rituals you might try today:
💫 Sit in sunlight & feel its warmth on your skin
💫 Light a candle & name one thing you’re proud of
💫 Place a hand on your heart & breathe in appreciation
💫 Offer thanks to your body for carrying you this far

Solstice reminds us: you are already enough 🌻

How will you honour the light today?

Ps. I Still got a view spaces available at tonight's Solstice Women’s Circle - DM to sign up

Much love, Alex 💫

The Solstice is the perfect moment to honour your inner journey 💫

As we step closer to the Summer Solstice, allow yourself a moment of quiet reflection. This is a sacred threshold - a pause between what has been and what is ready to emerge.

Gently ask yourself:
• What has this year taught me?
• What am I ready to release with gratitude?
• What do I want to step into with light and clarity?

Let your reflections be honest, kind, and unforced. Trust that whatever arises is exactly what needs to be seen.

oin us on 22 December for a beautiful, guided Solstice Women’s Circle at 6.30pm.

DM for info ;)
