🎉🩷🖤 HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY TO GOOD VIBES MEDITATION MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLBEING TRUST!! 🖤🩷🎉

One whole year ago, we officially became a registered charity! 🥹

After running Good Vibes as a solo business for over 3 years, I decided to take the leap into the charity world… followed by a rather brutal 5-month charity test that nearly finished me off before we'd even started. 🤣

But we did it.

And somehow… WE'VE SURVIVED YEAR ONE!! 😂🙌

I'm not going to pretend it's been easy. This first year has been tough, stressful, pressured, overwhelming and has tested me in ways I never expected.

But it's also been absolutely incredible.
We've supported adults, children and teens. We've worked in schools, communities, prisons and recovery settings. We've delivered hundreds of sessions, secured funding, collaborated with some wonderful organisations, been featured in the press, received incredible support from our community and continued to grow far beyond what I imagined when I first started Good Vibes.

And we're only getting started. 🩷

I couldn't do any of this without the people behind Good Vibes.

🩷 Kenny, my Chair, Kirsty, my Treasurer and Lynn, my Secretary — thank you for sticking this crazy journey out with me! I must drive you all absolutely demented at times 🤣 but I love you all dearly and I'm so grateful to have you beside me.

🩷 Carol, my wonderful freelance Admin Assistant — you work incredibly hard behind the scenes and I appreciate everything you do. Our Tuesdays will genuinely never be the same again… 🤣☕️

🩷 Annmarie, my freelance Grants Fundraiser — thank you for all the hours spent on grant and funding applications, keeping me right and doing so much work that people don't always see. I'm incredibly grateful for you.

And finally… thank you to every single person who has supported Good Vibes.

Everyone who has attended a session, trusted me with their story, donated, fundraised, sponsored us, shared a post, recommended us, collaborated with us or simply told me to keep going when things got tough.

Good Vibes started with one woman, one little room and a vision.

I had no big team. No huge pot of money. No idea where it would eventually lead.

I just knew I wanted to take everything life had thrown at me — the grief, the struggles, the knockbacks and my own mental health journey — and turn it into something that could help somebody else.

Three years as a business became a charity.
That charity has now reached its first birthday.
And now we're working towards the biggest chapter yet… creating our very own Mental Health & Wellbeing Centre, a permanent home for Good Vibes where we can support even more adults, teens and children with natural tools and therapies. 🩷🖤

When I look back at where this all began, I sometimes can't quite believe what we've created.

I'm knackered. 🤣

I've probably aged about 10 years in the last 12 months. 😂

But I'm ridiculously proud.

Year one was about proving we could do it.
Year two is about showing just how far we can take it. 🚀

Bigger. Better. Stronger.

And something tells me the next chapter of Good Vibes is going to be pretty phenomenal. 🩷🖤

Happy 1st Birthday, Good Vibes. 🎂

Here's to everything still to come. 🥂 (Mine's a coffee, obviously! ☕️😂)

🩷 FROM CLUTTER TO GOOD VIBES 🩷

We're excited to launch a new fundraising project for Good Vibes Meditation Mental Health and Wellbeing Trust, thanks to our wonderful admin Carol — turning good quality unwanted items into valuable funds to support our work in mental health and wellbeing. 💕

If you're having a clear out and have something useful and in good saleable condition that you no longer need, we'd be very grateful if you'd consider donating it rather than letting it go to waste. 😊

We're particularly looking for:

🩷 Household items
🩷 Garden items
🩷 Pet items
🩷 Toys and games
🩷 Clothing and accessories
🩷 Other useful, saleable items

Please only offer items that you feel someone would genuinely want to buy. We unfortunately don't have the space to take large furniture, bulky items or bags of small miscellaneous bits.

Donated items will be sold through our From Clutter to Good Vibes project, with all money raised going towards supporting the work of Good Vibes Meditation Mental Health and Wellbeing Trust.

Every donation.
Every sale.
Every pound raised.

Together, we're turning clutter into Good Vibes. 🩷🖤

📧 To donate:

Email: [email protected]

📍 Or drop your items off at:

The Collective, 52 South Street, Boness

So… having a wee clear-out? Think Good Vibes before you chuck it! 🩷♻️

Please share and help us spread the word. 🙏

Thank you for helping us give unwanted items a new purpose and in doing so, helping us support mental health and wellbeing in our community 🩷🖤

A productive Sunday 🩷🖤

A quick coffee stop at Midhope before heading to South Queensferry for a session — with the added bonus of bumping into lovely Andy the Highlander and having a wee chat 😉

Then on to a brilliant community session with the FEAT Running Group in South Queensferry — breathwork, mindfulness and a safely facilitated cold water dip 🧘‍♀️🌿

September is looking busy, with lots of community and corporate group sessions in the diary, which I’m really looking forward to.

If your community group, organisation or workplace would be interested in a Good Vibes session, drop me a PM for a wee chat. Suitable for mixed groups. 🩷🖤

What does your Saturday night look like? 🩷

Mine looks a little different these days… cosy, relaxed, laptop open and absolutely nowhere else I’d rather be.

I’m back writing The Universe Had Other Ideas and somehow I’m now 20,779 words in! To be precise!! 📖✍️

My Saturday nights aren't about drinking anymore… now I sit at home writing a book about all the plot twists that probably drove me to drink in the first place. 😂🤦‍♀️

Growth, apparently. 😂

With everything going on lately, I’m really missing my Mum and Dad.

Even my broken wee car has hit me harder than I expected. Dad bought it for me after my marriage broke down, to make sure Olivia and I were okay. So to me, it was never just a car. 🥹

This picture feels very me right now — everything on the darker side is part of the story that brought me here, but my eyes are firmly on what’s ahead.

Good Vibes. Our own Mental Health & Wellbeing Centre. My book. Olivia’s future. And hopefully plenty more adventures along the way. 🩷

I’ve absolutely no idea what’s waiting for me on the other side…

But knowing my life, I’m fairly certain the universe has other ideas. 😂🩷

20,779 words down… keep going. 📖✨

Morning coffee in the park while I wait for my car to be seen… ☕🌳

My car has apparently decided that power steering is an optional extra 😂🚗💪

Second opinion at another garage on Tuesday because, naturally, it’s only the car I need for work and to actually DO my job! 🤦‍♀️

Looking for the positive though… if this carries on, I’m going to have some cracking arm muscles. 💪😂

Who needs the gym when you’ve got a broken car? 🤣

🩷 A HUGE THANK YOU 🩷

We want to say the biggest thank you to a very kind person who has donated an incredible £300 to Good Vibes to help us continue supporting children & teens with their mental health and wellbeing. 🥹🩷

This donation has come at such an important time for us.

The funding we previously received to provide our children and teen sessions has now completely run out, but the need for this support certainly hasn’t.

Every £ helps us continue creating that safe space where young people can build confidence, manage anxiety, talk, be themselves and receive support in a way that works for them.

This £300 will go directly towards helping us continue those sessions. 🩷

To the wonderful person who donated — thank you. Your kindness genuinely means more than you probably realise, and it will make a real difference to the young people we support.

This is community. 🩷🖤

£300 donated.
More sessions made possible.
More young people supported.

Thank you from all of us at
Good Vibes Meditation Mental Health and Wellbeing Trust 🩷🖤

🎥 And here it is… the footage from our brilliant collab! 🩷🖤

From putting The Scran Man through his paces at a Good Vibes session 🧊😂… to heading along to Hope St Cafe for some amazing food… and finishing with a wee interview with myself about Good Vibes, the charity and what we’re working towards 🩷

A massive thank you to The Scran Man for coming along, getting involved and helping us spread the word about Good Vibes and raise awareness of the work we’re doing. It genuinely means so much to have people use their platform to help us reach more people
🙏

And, as always, a huge thank you to our wonderful sponsors at Hope St Cafe for their continued support and for believing in what we’re trying to create for our community 🩷

I feel incredibly lucky to have such good people getting behind Good Vibes and our vision.

Have a watch… and let us know what you think! 👀🎥🩷🖤

Last week, one of my little clients and I went bramble picking as part of our time together. Something simple, outdoors, no pressure — just chatting, exploring and building confidence along the way.

Yesterday she came back to see me… with a jar of homemade bramble jam made from the brambles we picked together 🥹🩷

Safe to say my heart melted!

This is why I love working with children the way I do. Not every session needs to happen sitting in a room. Sometimes the biggest connections are made while walking, exploring, laughing and simply allowing a child to be themselves.

And apparently there are perks to the job too….homemade jam! 😋🩷🖤

Thank you 🫶

A productive wee day in Bo’ness today… I seem to be visiting quite frequently these days.

I was honoured to be invited along to Good Vibes Meditation Mental Health and Wellbeing Trust by Susan, the owner and subsequent founder of the charity which do alot for kids and teenagers with mental health difficulties and other ailments.

I went along with Ashley where we were warmly welcomed by Susan who runs this whole show on her own and does an absolutely fantastic job.

She gave us the sauna/ice bath treatment along with breathing training so we could adjust from hot to cold and get the most out of the experience.

I was sceptical at first but came out feeling refreshed and invigorated, an experience that I would definitely do again and absolutely will do again in the near future.

We were also privileged to be invited along to Hope St Cafe afterwards for some food and we were not disappointed on that front either. Minestrone soup and 2 incredible toasties, some nice friendly chat and banter with Frank the owner and his wonderful staff who create a friendly welcoming environment and the place was booming when we went in right through til we left at closing time.

I was also fortunate enough to finally visit Jackpot.Boness, a cracking little clothes shop full of CP and Stone Island, Nike and Adidas trainers, kids designer gear among loads of other brands. If you like some of the finer clothing out there jump through to Bo’ness where I guarantee you’ll find something to take your fancy.

As I said a very productive day in Bo’ness, a wee village that I like more and more each time I visit and with a reception like this it won’t be long until I’m back.

There will be a video and some clips coming over the next day or 2 once I get a chance to edit it and mash it all together.
