Pinned Post: What’s it Like Working With Me?
My coaching practice is built on more than offering you strategies or solutions. I’ve created it as a space for you to feel truly seen, held, and supported. It is the most important gift I can give to you. No one arrives wanting to find a better relationship, or reconnect with who they are, without it requiring a deep journey into the roots of themselves and their challenges. I simply do not offer behavioural change as a stand-alone outcome, and I don’t believe lasting change can occur without an approach that cares for the whole person. We focus on…

Pinned Post: Come Find Me Where I Am (Part I)
This morning, I issued an invitation to the universe, for it to come find me where I am. I am not lost, I am simply here. I have known for a while that my biggest need, right now, is to remain in the present moment. It’s a need to hold a deep awareness, a genuine appreciation, for what is happening within my inner space, now. It has meant removing myself from social media, declining any distractions that come masquerading as entertainment, being clearer with boundaries. What I did today, during my meditation, was acknowledge my need to remove all…

For the practitioners: Do you really need that session?
It’s easy to look for answers to your questions outside yourself, you’re conditioned to do so. In school the focus is largely on what you’re taught by others and what you can remember. You become used to a collective who has an opinion on your behaviour and Iife: teachers, career counsellors, pastoral care. By the time you get to work you’re adept at following the instruction of external authorities; line managers, heads of department, HR. It makes sense then, that when you embark on any kind of self-help or healing journey, one of the first things you’re going to do…

Where, on Earth, is Your Majesty?
Where sits the sense of self that will not allow itself to be treated so? The flame lit from the original spark that chose to bring such a creature breathing, crying, screaming into this world, that you now allow to be extinguished by one so low, where is it? Where are you? You see, I watch you, with your forsaken abandoned splendour run whimpering after the dog that would cock its leg to use you as a tree. I watch you, confused that another might dare, so brazenly to forget you. Even though you have long…

When You’re Overwhelmed, Seek Land
What a luxury it is, to have one problem at a time. How fortuitous our luck, when a single event or emotion arises, and we have time to witness it in its entirety, to feel its vibrations move through our body, our lives, without distraction. Even as a moment ravages us, and we have the space to plummet into whatever depths necessary, how blessed we are at the base of our pit, to not have the sky entirely concealed, by further wreckage falling after us. Of course, it doesn’t feel anything close to luck, or grace. Grief, pain, abandonment,…

No, I Won’t Tell You How I Do It
There’s little information in life today that isn’t ultra-accessible or searchable online. We feel entitled to know things, anything, all the time. Beautiful as this thirst for knowledge is, quenching it doesn’t always work out quite so well, especially if the facts are incorrect, or placed into the wrong hands. Within the spiritual community I see knowledge being shared respectfully and carefully, but there are also instances where it’s distributed neglectfully and carelessly; for likes, money or ego. When I began my own journey into spirituality, I was young and had no idea the foundations that I was laying for myself. I…

It’s Stopped Raining
I had one of those moments the other day, that was so simple it slipped over into profound. It had been raining as I strolled down my local High Street, and I had my umbrella up. I was about to cross paths with a woman when she looked at me, smiled and said, “It’s not raining anymore”. Her smile was gentle, her voice low, but strong. Even as she uttered the words, I knew this was about more than the weather. And in that two second interaction she gave me an offering of wisdom that felt entirely intentional. We’ve…

Journal Prompt – 40 Years
I realised today, that I could live another 40years. 40 years. Once you reach a certain age, time can feel more finite, so many more years known than to know. Tell me, if 80 or even 85, were your top number, the end of your ride, so to speak – how many years would you have left? Say it out loud. I may have _____ years left to live. How does it feel? What will you do? Go write.

Love Affair
I want us to have a love affair. You and me. How about it, my love? I’m inviting you to show up suited, in your tightest emotions thoughts, buttoned up over that raw and wounded chest. Come, let me unclothe you, let me help you out of this world where you are unhappy not at your best. not yourself. I am excited, love, to watch you unbind the laces, of your knotted and twisted dreams only to watch them fall as do unexpected tearswhen you ground in ways you have never known. There is no woman like me,…

December Oracle Reading [2024]
It is okay to feel sad, to fully experience it. It is part of the human condition. There are times that your heart will ache, beneath its beat of gratitude and love for all. It will ache for a present moment you did not expect, as it hopes for, and believes in, better times. Your sadness must come, must be allowed its space to grieve and mourn and be defeated, so it can turn the pool fit for drowning into the steps that will elevate you higher. It is okay to feel the feeling, to give your body all of…

October Oracle Reading [2024]
Stand your ground. Own it. There is merit in fluidity, beauty in being able to flow as the river does, but there is also bravery in being immovable. There are times in life when the best way for you to move forwards, is for you to not move an inch. For you to have no reaction to the words of that person; for you to continue to say no, as family, friends, the world, push you to say yes. For you to say “This is my feeling, my thought, my need today, and I unapologetically support it, as much as if I had…
