It's ok to feel the heaviness
There’s a lot of messaging out there in the ‘wellness’ space that suggests we should be feeling happy and joyful and full of energy all the time. That we must ‘be what we want to attract’ and ‘vibe higher’ in order to create the lives we want. But this messaging creates a very narrow picture of life, and kind of implies that we should be aiming to remove discomfort and negativity from our experiences all together. That eternal happiness is the goal and that anything less mean

The grace of space.
Can you give yourself the grace of space? In a world of go go go, of productivity and chasing, where the to do list reins and the 9-5 boldly declares when we should or shouldn’t be working (and playing), it’s easy to feel like we’re bursting at the seams. That life needs to be squashed and squeezed into a particular format or routine, in order to be ‘right’ or ‘good enough’…but that can leave us feeling restricted, claustrophobic, disconnected and even disempowered. We pack o

Progress not perfection
Sometimes the space between where we are and where we want to be can feel overwhelming. It can feel like the valley is just too wide and we can end up doubting if we’ll actually make it there at all…but when the doubt creeps in, when you’re feeling exhausted, when it’s feeling a bit too much, remember… Change and transformation happens through consistent baby steps in the direction of what you desire, and those steps flow more like a dance, covering the whole of life’s floor,

It all adds up
Someone said to me the other day, “I used to think I was going to change the world and now it seems impossible.” We’d been talking about our dreams, who we’d hoped to be when we were small and how bold we were to think we could change things.

How are you nourishing yourself?
How are you nourishing yourself…and I’m not just talking about food. How are you nourishing yourself? How are you feeding yourself, not just with the food you eat, but the life you consume?

I am your permission slip...
That’s how I often describe what I do and what my role is (in part) when I’m chatting to people. As a coach I represent the permission to take time (for self), I represent the permission to go inward, to reflect and to choose. I represent the permission to take action and make the changes that have been calling on your heart. I represent permission to slow down, to listen, to honour all the things that you’ve been holding onto and carrying for so long. I represent permission
