A walk through the trees and being in nature is the best way for me to start my day - the light through the trees, the sound of the bird song, the vibrancy of nature and the grounding effect of the earth - this is where my nervous system resets, where my thinking clears and where my energy boosts for the day ahead.

The mental and physical health benefits of movement and being in nature aren't just a bonus - they are foundational to our wellbeing - a key to how we sustain ourselves for the long term.

This isn't about just taking a break - it is about giving yourself the sustenance that you need.

** Celebration!! **

So this week I got to celebrate achieving my PhD at the Lancaster University graduation ceremony.

A huge achievement for me through charting my way out of debilitating ill health with Chronic Lyme Disease and then I willingly undertook 4 years of the 24/7 care of my dear Dad with his physical ill health and dementia. He and Mum would be so proud.

Always supported and encouraged by my family and friends - I am so pleased I persevered - and I am so grateful they were celebrating with me on the day.

Never give up - there is always a way through and you never know where it might lead to!☺️

🌟 Exciting News! 🌟

After navigating through several life challenges and overcoming health hurdles, I am thrilled to share that earlier this year I successfully completed my PhD and have now also attained Chartered Psychologist status with the British Psychological Society (BPS)!

This journey has been one of perseverance, growth, and learning, and I am immensely grateful for the support and encouragement from my family, friends, mentors and supervisors along the way.

Thank you to everyone who believed in me and stood by my side. Here's to new beginnings and making a positive impact 🎓💪
