✨ One Breath at a Time

🫁Your breath is your body’s built-in calm button.

🫁It’s always with you — and when used intentionally, it can help shift you into your parasympathetic nervous system (your rest, digest, and restore mode).

⏰ Even 5 or 10 minutes a day can begin to create change.

🌬️ How?
By breathing slowly and gently — especially with a longer exhale — you send a signal to your brain:
“I’m safe enough to settle.”

And from that place, healing becomes more possible.

Your system begins to soften.

🌿 Try this:
Set a timer for 5 or 10 minutes each day.
To just breathe.
📿 In for 4 counts
📿 Out for 6 counts
📿 And repeat - if you can make the out breath longer - try 8 or 10 counts out!

No pressure to get it perfect.
Just show up.
That’s enough.

Over time, this tiny practice helps your nervous system relearn safety.
One breath at a time.
One day at a time.
🤍

This is one of the most painful sentences I hear from clients...or has been said to clients.

You can feel grateful for your baby and at the same time feel traumatised by the birth at the same time.

Both things can be true.

Simple Ways to Lower Your Anxiety This Week ⬇️

• Just 10 mins of rhythmic movement lowers cortisol and improves mood by boosting dopamine and serotonin

• Splashing cold water on face activates the dive reflex which slows heart rate and rapidly calms the nervous system

• Inhaling familiar aromas like pine or lavender influences the limbic system, reducing stress and emotional reactivity

• Hum softly for 30 seconds.
Vibrational sound stimulates the vagus nerve and quiets anxiety.

• 4/8 or 7/11 Breathing. Inhale for 4, exhale for 8. Repeat 4X to slow heart rate, reduce cortisol and signal safety to brain.
What’s your favourite?

Parenthood can make you very good at looking for danger — especially when trauma has taught your body to stay on alert.

A missed call.
A strange symptom.
A change in your routine.
An added pressure.

And suddenly your brain says:

“Something’s wrong.”

The thought triggers your alarm system. Your body responds — racing heart, tight chest, knot in your stomach.

Then those sensations feel scary, creating more frightening thoughts.

Feeling → Thought → More Feeling → More Thought

That’s the anxiety cycle.

So, what if you tried something different?

Instead of asking:

“Why do I feel like this?” “ what’s wrong with me?”

Try asking:

“Where do I feel this?”

Notice the sensation.

“My chest feels tight.”
“My heart is racing.”
“There’s a knot in my stomach.”

Try my mantra:

“Sensation without explanation.”

You’re not ignoring the feeling. You’re simply not feeding it with another scary story.

Breathe. Take a few longer and slower exhalations.

Notice.

Allow.

One breath at a time.

⚠️ Because after trauma, your nervous system may have learned to look for danger everywhere.

🌱 So perhaps let’s start here today so you can begin to give your nervous system permission to rest.

Yikes first ever session of therapy can feel daunting and overwhelming but using the Human Givens approach, RIGAAR gives the session a clear structure while keeping the work personalised to the individual client.

It ensures that therapy isn’t simply about talking about problems, but about understanding what is happening, identifying what the client wants to change, recognising their existing strengths, agreeing a way forward and giving them something practical to practise.

R – Rapport: Establishing a safe, trusting and collaborative therapeutic relationship.

I – Information gathering: Understanding the client’s difficulties, history, current situation, symptoms and what is maintaining the problem.

G – Goal: Identifying what the client wants to be different and agreeing a clear, realistic goal for therapy.

A – Assessing resources: Identifying the client’s existing strengths, coping strategies, support networks and resources that can be drawn upon.

A – Agreeing strategy: Collaboratively deciding what approach, techniques or interventions are most appropriate to help the client move towards their goal.

R – Rehearsal: Practising the new skills or techniques within the session so the client feels confident using them outside therapy

One session doesn’t erase years of pain.

But it can change how you carry it.

Many of my clients tell me they notice a shift after our first session, a few of their comments -
✨ “I finally understood why my body reacts the way it does.”
✨ “For the first time in months, I felt calm.”
✨ “I realised I’m not broken—my nervous system has been trying to protect me.”
✨ “I left with practical tools that I actually used when things felt overwhelming.”
✨ “I felt heard without having to explain or justify how I was feeling.”

Whether you’re living with birth trauma, baby loss, infertility, anxiety or another difficult and traumatic experience, the first step isn’t about fixing everything.

It’s about helping your mind and body feel just a little safer than they did when you walked in.

Sometimes that’s where everything begins.

If you’ve been wondering whether therapy could help, perhaps this is your sign to take that first step. 🤍

🚫💔 “No, that’s not the right thing to say…” 💔🚫

When someone shares their experience of a difficult or traumatic pregnancy, birth, or post partum what they need most isn’t fixing, advice, or comparisons.

They need to feel heard.
They need to feel believed.
They need to feel safe enough to tell their story.

Unfortunately, many people hear things that silence or shame them.

Often, it’s not intentional — it’s because birth trauma is still misunderstood.

🌿 If someone opens up to you, listen with compassion.
You don’t need perfect words — just presence, empathy, and warmth.

I will offer you a space to be heard. DM me for more information
