What happens when you give your nervous system 90 minutes to rest and exhale?

Wednesday evening at 🌿

A full room full of us came together to pause, reconnect and explore what was happening in our own nervous systems.

We talked about our individual stress responses, experimented with gentle embodied practices and explored simple somatic ways to support ourselves when life feels too much.

And then we slowed right down.

Deep rest.
Guided nature meditation.
No rushing off.
No fixing.
Just space to be.

By the end, the whole room felt relaxed, present and settled.

And that’s really what this work is about.

Not trying to eliminate stress or always feel calm…

But learning how to notice what’s happening inside you and discovering ways to help yourself come back to yourself.

Thank you to everyone who came and made the first Come Home to Yourself workshop very special.🌿

Always expecting the worst —
even in moments where everything is otherwise ‘ fine? ‘ 🥴🥴🥴

Overthinking everything?

Struggling to switch off?

Easily overwhelmed by little things?

Snapping at the people you love?

Finding it hard to actually relax?

You don’t just want to understand
why you feel this way.

You want to feel different.

There are different ways to approach this by working with the brain, thoughts/ beliefs, nervous system and body:

I love it when the sun is out ☀️

We’re walking into a new term, a new season, new clients and workshops ….

At the heart of all of my work is helping people connect with themselves, understand their responses, recognise what’s happening in their bodies and develop more choice in how they meet their experience in life.

More and more I’m making sure I have time to be creative, connect with nature and just ‘be’.

So basically if it’s nice outside , get out there and get your feet on the ground, listen to the birds and take a few slow breaths. It’s medicine for the soul!! ✨☀️✨☀️

When was the last time you stopped, like properly stopped and rested?

If you’re feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, constantly “on” or simply exhausted from holding everything together, this evening is for you.

Join me at the beautiful Cucumber Fields in Essendon for a nurturing Nervous System Reset Workshop, an opportunity to step out of the noise and give yourself some space to breathe, move, rest and reconnect.

We’ll explore gentle, trauma-sensitive practices designed to help you:

• settle an overwhelmed nervous system
• release built-up stress and tension
• reconnect with your body
• create a greater sense of safety and ease
• slow down without needing to “achieve” anything

No experience is needed. Just come as you are.

Such a lovely new addition to the town has opened its doors — in one of the oldest building in Hertford.
Often we have to be in the right mindset to sit down and read with this gentle focus can really help or creativity imagination concentration.

The next time you go to reach your phone, maybe turn into a book instead!!

Find a book you want to get lost in, make a cup of tea, and give yourself 20 minutes where nobody needs anything from you. 🏝️✨

Annual family trip 🏖️🏝️🎉

Helps to bring:

1. Perspective
2. Lots of laughs
3. Amazing local, nourishing food
4. Carefree days in the warmth

A reminder that we need moments and extended periods of time to rest, enjoy ourselves and nourish the soul.

Whether it’s a holiday or a long walk in a beautiful park, time in nature and away from routine to just ‘be’ is essential to not just recovery but to a full life well lived.

Make the most of the summer folks the days will be shorter before we know it 😃🥴🙈

You can understand your past and still find yourself reacting as though you’re back there.

You know you’re safe.
You know things have changed.
You may even have done years of self-reflection.

And yet your body still braces.
You overthink.
You shut down.
You anticipate what might go wrong.
You struggle to trust, relax or feel fully yourself.

That doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you.

Your brain and nervous system have been doing what they learned to do: protect you.

The work isn’t about fighting those responses or trying to “fix” yourself.

It’s about helping your whole system experience something different — so that, over time, you can have more choice in how you respond to what’s happening now.

And sometimes that work goes beyond simply understanding why you are the way you are.

It becomes about asking:

Who am I now?
What do I want to change?
And who might I become when the past no longer has such a strong hold on my present?

That’s the deeper work I offer through personalised 1:1 trauma-informed support.

If you know there’s something specific you want to change, book a Discovery Call.

We can explore what you’re experiencing, what you want to be different, and whether 1:1 support is the right fit for you.

You don’t need to have it all figured out before you reach out.

👉 Link in bio to book your Discovery Call through the website. ✨✨
