Today is Lughnasadh , In the Celtic tradition, Lughnasadh is the harvest festival, specifically the first harvest of the year,

is a time to ask:

* 🌾 What have I grown or nurtured since spring?
* 🙏 What am I grateful for?
* ✂️ What needs to be harvested, completed, or released?
* 🌻 How can I share the abundance I’ve received with others?

It’s a celebration of community, feasting, storytelling, music, athletic contests, and giving thanks for the earth’s abundance.

Today I have celebrated my abundance,
from gathering kale from my garden for breakfast.
To giving it my all in a work out💚
at one point this morning all my boys and their lovely girlfriends were all in the house at the same time 💪🏾( parents of older kids will understand this is the BEST 🤩)
Then I’d a friend round and we’d a special ritual in my garden 🪴
I dug up my spuds and harvested some camomile.
Now I’m in the bath. 🛁
Feeling so full of gratitude for it all

So thought I’d post a wee prompt
for those of you who like to do a bit of
Journalling about the “harvest” in your own life

not just food, but relationships, healing, work, and personal growth.

It’s a beautiful festival because it reminds us that every harvest began with a seed planted months before.

Today is about honouring both the fruits of your efforts and the cycles of nature that made them possible.

💚 huge love and gratitude

☀️ My diary is closed to new clients over the summer.

If you’ve already booked in — don’t worry, your appointment is grand 🤍

Over the last few years, I’ve realised that taking a small step back during the summer months helps me recharge, slow down a little, and keep showing up fully for the fabulous person I work with regularly.

If you’ve been with me within the last 2 years book online or get in touch & I’ll do my best to fit you in ✨

Thank you all so much for understanding.
my work / life balance is so important & changes often with my family life 💚

Hopefully my summer is filled with sunny days and tan lines 😉🫶🏼💟

I haven’t been on here in ages …

but as I have a space available in Saturdays breath work group I thought I’d re load instagram. ☺️🫣

Here are some pics of my life recently,
still working away & enjoying the beautiful balance that I am very grateful to have.

My life lately has been full ;
seeing wonderful clients, teaching reiki, lots of bees 🐝, gardening , gym, yoga, Nearly finished the artist way 🥳, & without instagram I’ve found I’m reading 📖 more & simply sitting daydreaming much more so that’s a good thing for me😉

those who know me well will know I’m outside as much as I’d possible this weather 🫶🏼So as I lie here catching the last rays in my garden thought I’d let you know … this Saturday breathwork - 1 space available
let me know if it’s for you ?
& 1-1’s continue to book online
via my website. ( Saturdays space won’t show on there text me)

Big big love

💚

Just home from 2 weeks in Egypt,
I had both the most amazing time & the most challenging of time’s interlinked.

Although I’d been to Egypt before this trip was not at all what I had expected it to be.
I met some great people & connected more deeply with the great girls I traveled there with.

I am so very glad to be home (but not sorry I went)

Thank goddess I don’t start back work until Monday as I feel I have lots of processing to do before I can hold space for others.

Next week I’ve a reiki one workshop so I feel I need to get myself rebalanced asap.
Every self care tool I have will be gathered together in the coming days 😉

I’ll get back to messages soon.🫶🏼

With Much love

Nollaig na mBan ✨

Women’s Christmas 🎄

6th January; is an Irish tradition rooted in rest, rebellion, and women finally getting their turn after the Twelve Days of Christmas.

Once a quiet act of defiance, it was a day for women to gather, laugh, sing, drink, and reclaim space in a world that rarely offered them it freely.

I may not have peeled a single spud this year 🥔 💪🏾but that’s thanks to many years of groundwork and a house full of wild capable men. Growth , for sure 👌
So although I don’t feel I “need” a women’s Christmas in the way my grandmothers may have , I am celebrating it for them.

Tuesday will be marked: work in the morning, freedom in the afternoon ✨time with dear friends. No whiskey will be consumed & Likely No tables will be danced on… 😉 but we will be a bit wild in our own way & be grateful for all the progress over the years.

If you’ve no plans yet, take this as your sign 🪧
Choose yourself & why not Let it feel a little wild.

Happy Women’s Christmas 🥳🫶🏼
Elaine 🙏

Post–morning pages reflection 💭

Morning pages have been a transformative tool for me. I’ve dipped in and out of it for years, but these last six months of consistency, have felt like an anchor ⚓️

I have been more consistent with my health /wellness than ever before.
Not just exercise but health as a whole.
Food. Rest. Hydration, properly Listening to my body.

Perimenopause has been the teacher I never realised I needed !

listening to my body is now non-negotiable.
I can’t outsource it or ignore it anymore.
I feel everything so much more.

I can’t ignore the fact that I live the effects of what I eat and how I care for myself. And honestly, that’s been a complete upgrade to my relationship with my body.

Morning pages is often where I wade through my bu****it to find my wisdom ✨💚⚓️🙏

And the way I show up in all my relationships has changed.
My yes and my no’s are now stronger than ever.
Which allows, More presence. More depth. More connection.

For me This year felt like embodiment over ideas. Living it, not just knowing it.

Big love
Elaine xx

More of the reflections on why am I good at what I do?
⠀
✨ Because I don’t do it for the money
Yes, I’m grateful to earn well, but that has never been the driving force. My motivation is feeling useful in the world, and my love for people. I am grateful money flows to me in many different ways.
⠀
✨ Because I hold space without judgment.
Whether mentoring, guiding breathwork, teaching Reiki practitioners, or supporting someone through a major life moment ,I truly see them. I hold a judgment-free space for whatever needs to rise.
⠀
✨ Because I let the work flow through me.
I don’t need to perform.
I’m the channel a space holder, kinda like an anchor ⚓️
I’ve seen me open the door to a client to find them crying, while traveling to the very appointment they began to feel what they have before not been ready to feel.
witnessing this, over the years has given me huge confidence and taken any pressure off me personally, I have a deep trust in the energy of love.
⠀
✨ Because I’m comfortable in my humanness.
I love learning, not knowing everything. I am growing alongside every person I work with. Every experience teaches me something.
⠀
✨Because I’ve journeyed through my own darkness, so I can now sit really steady with others and hold the light for them.
⠀
✨Because I trust My work It’s not for everyone, only those who feel drawn to it. I have no need to convince anyone. I just be myself and those that I am the correct person to support find me.
I’ve a client who heard about me in the Que in Tesco & I’ve another who over heard talk about me in a Pilates class.

I have been privileged over the years to work with so many amazing people and witnesses the benefits so thats built my confidence and faith up.

I have a great way of keeping this work grounded. I didn’t always have this ability but this is how I need it to be, so I see this as a gift.

Anyway. So grateful to have been asked the question that inspired me to think deeply 🤍 I’m a deep thinker who’s big on feelings …
obviously that helps too 🙏

A client asked me, “Why do you think you’re so good @ what you do & always so busy?”
⠀
She made me think. and I felt inspired to answer here, not as a brag, but as a celebration of me owning my gifts.
⠀
First, the term “so busy” doesn’t land for me. Im proud to have a work life balance.
It’s a huge part of who I am, and I truly believe I’m doing the work I’m on this earth to do but it fits around my wellbeing & family.
⠀
Before any of this became paid work, my life was preparing me.

Pre children , I was a travel agent.
Post my babies, We had shops & once they were up and running I was grateful to step back & focus on doing what I enjoyed doing.

I trained as a birth & postnatal doula. We fostered for three years. I volunteered with Sure Start, supporting families navigating the intensity of early parenthood.

Looking back, I see my life as an apprenticeship for this work.

Even my Saturday job in a hairdresser’s from I was 12 to 16 years old, I can now see how I was then learning to read people’s energy.
⠀
I “officially “began my energy-work 14 years ago with Reiki.
What started as a personal passion naturally grew into a business. Today, I’m honoured to teach Reiki up to Master level, hold breathwork groups, and support others through spiritual mentoring.

I have actually written more on this but it’s too long for one post 🫣
so I’ll save that for another time 🙏✨☺️

A little heads up for my regulars ✨

In January I’m taking some extended time off as I’m heading on a retreat ….
to Egypt 🇪🇬✨🙌🏽💫
Because of that, I’ll have fewer appointments available — so please plan ahead for any sessions you’ll want in January.

December is showing as fully booked online, but I’ve kept a couple of slots aside for my nearest and dearest.
So if you’re a regular and can’t find anything that suits you online, please just send me a text and I’ll do my very best to fit you in. ✨

As I am working this weekend I had today off.
I went to yoga & then Graham & I decided to head up the north coast for the day which felt like such a treat ✨

this is one of the joys of a recently retired husband 😉 we can now be spontaneous on a school day 😉🫶🏼🙏🦋

Hormones as Messengers of Change

my hormones no longer follow the predictable rhythm they once did.

And the result?

Sometimes I feel lit up, full of drive and other times like I’m on an emotional rollercoaster.

I’ve learned that estrogen and progesterone are deeply tied to the brain’s chemistry: serotonin, dopamine, GABA, endorphins, the same messengers that shape mood, motivation, and meaning.

When estrogen drops, I can feel my serotonin and dopamine dip too, and it feels like the colour drains.
When progesterone ebbs, sleeps effected, my tolerance for stress thins, and I say f**k a lot more.
lately it’s like I feel every vibration of life WAY more intensely.

🧬 The Recalibration Within

I can feel old versions of myself dissolving, the one who lived by certain roles and expectations,
In my earlier years, I built much of my identity around being what others needed of me.
Now, as estrogen, the great nurturer, wanes, I no longer have the urge to overextend, to prove or to please others.

This phase has me questioning everything; relationships, work, how I care for & nourish my body.
I feel a hunger for deeper knowing, There’s a kind of moral inventory taking shape within me, asking, “What’s true for me NOW ?”

Carl Jung called this the second half of life, when the goal shifts from outer success to inner wholeness.

🌑 perimenopause feels like The Liminal Space

I am in between: no longer who I was, not yet who I’m becoming.
This liminal space feels confusing and destabilizing, but it is fertile ground for transformation.

Through the turbulence, something else is emerging:
💫 An even clearer “no.”
💡 A even more authentic “yes.”

Perimenopause feels like a recalibration of sorts. I’m not finding it easy. The men who live with me aren’t finding me easy either.

I’m certainly not pretending to have the answers.

In comments is a list of what best supports me. (note most of it’s free - don’t fall for the money making nonsense that’s around menopause these days)

The 1/2 term holidays and a cold knocked me off my balance recently 💚
