Some exciting news! I need even more rest than normal these days 😴 😋🤰I'm 4 months pregnant, so getting into the stride of this pregnancy although it's still a rollercoaster of emotions, energy.... hormones!! Each pregnancy is so different, its incredible. I'm lucky enough this time to know so many amazing mums, working to support mum's mental wellness through including







And I've learned a few tricks of my own thanks to the amazing people at and

Taking it one day at a time. Trying to get all the rest I can, which makes a massive difference to my mental wellness, as always 😊

Well here we are! Our new life in the countryside begins. What a rollercoaster of emotions, from confusion (what are we doing??) to pure joy as we soak in the surroundings. Taking it one day at a time!

It's a rainy day as we say farewell to our house in Brussels where we have been so happy for 2.5 years... and the last 4.5 years in Brussels have been just amazing. We grew our family, I went through a major career pivot and moved house 4 times in as many years! It is so so hard to leave this place but the country life that we have been dreaming of for 10 years is only a few days away! We are so excited and can't wait to explore a new life of country life near Poitiers, France. The adventure continues 👐

Reading this makes me reflect on the progress I have made over the last years, starting out with little more than a wish to help and a hunch for sleep coaching... to now having the skills and knowledge to really help people get the sleep that they want.

Every time I finish a sleep coaching call or webinar I realise that what took years to learn, create and develop now lives and breathes in me. Its something I can give to others and that fills me with delight and fulfilment. 🤩💗

Many people are on this journey, with a passion to help others, to do something positive in the world. I so often feel a lack of credibility... a lack of experience. But it does come, in small moments and with passion, intuition and hard work.

If you are also on a mission to help others, learning new skills and growing yourself in the process, deep respect to you. It's not always easy buy you're on the right path 👐❤

It's time to break down the stigma about couples sleeping in separate beds! Being incompatible bed fellows isn't a reflection on the quality of your relationship. In fact, sharing a bed can lead to "wake transmission" - a technical term for waking each other up and getting a rubbish night's sleep!

Just because you sleep in separate beds most of the time, it doesn't mean you can't mix it up a bit - "your bed or mine tonight" - can even keep the relationship healthy? Besides whoever said that sexual intimacy is confined to the bedroom? Especially in times of Covid, your idea of romantic ideal might be more space and privacy.

Having your own space to unwind, reboot and process everything, can do wonders for you and your relationship. Let's set our own rules and tailor our homes, habits and relationship to suit our own needs.

Happy ! Today I'm sharing a brand new yoga nidra for sleep audio meditation. You will find 4 meditations that are free to listen to and download. Link in bio! 👐

So many people are struggling to sleep at the moment. Change of routine, stress, anxiety, uncertainty, long periods in front of screens, reduced social contact. Practicing yoga nidra is a great way to rest when you cannot sleep, reduce stress and fall asleep more easily.

Feel free to share my sleep meditations with people who are exhausted or struggling to sleep. I hope they will help you, your friends and loved ones get the rest they need.

Wishing you plenty of restful sleep and positive days!

Getting a good night’s sleep may feel like a clamber up a craggy, slippery rock face at times. So much effort and very little rest! Re-wiring your body and mind to be able to sleep well again can take time. However, there are a number of small things that you can do with very little effort that add up, brick-by-brick, to re-build your temple of deep and peaceful sleep.

It's amazing how much mental resistance I have every time my Wednesday morning fitness class comes around. All I want to do is get on with my work! This picture reminds me of how damn good it feels to have completed a work out session. It's so simple. Keeping a balanced life helps massively to balance energy. When we are tired sometimes moving and breathing actually unlocks hidden energy. I'm a bit fan of resting, as you know but all rest and no action ain't great either. It's all about the balance ⚖😘💙 where do you find your energy? 🚦⚡
