🪻Creating a space for you, mum🪻

For a very long time, I felt like I was wading through treacle as a mum! I was a good mum, I believed that (most of the time) but by constantly giving everything I left nothing in the tank left for me. I felt like I had taken on this beautiful new role and I lost who I was.

After my second son came along, I saw some very difficult days with my mental health. It was while I was still teaching and I was pulled in every direction...and the guilt I felt because my class at school got the best of me, but my own children got the dregs.

Since the birth of my third son in 2020, I tried really hard to find my identity again (as Amy) and to put into place things that were just for me; an hour for myself, I studied things that I loved (Tree Babies is one 🌳💚), made sure I nurtured myself a bit more. And, I am not ashamed to say that I went to get professional help; I took antidepressants, had CBT, later had counselling. They all helped. But, I had to also help myself holistically too.

I'm just Amy and I don't have all the answers (and I am very much still learning) but I really love to help other mums carve out time for themselves. Motherhood is AMAZING and I am full of gratitude for my babies and that I am a Mummy. But I also know that for me to work well (body, mind and soul), I need time for myself, I need rest and I need to do things that fill my cup. Then, I can mother from a really good place.

So, when I create events for Thistle and May Wellness, I listen in to my intuition - what would I enjoy? How would I like to feel afterwards? I use that as a guide.

I really hope that you will join me in the Autumn- there are lots of lovely events coming. You don't have to have come before and wherever you are on your motherhood journey, please come along!!!!!

🌻What actually happens at one of your sessions?🌻

Here is my honest answer...

💜Nothing particularly extraordinary💜

And maybe that's exactly why they feel so special!

I plan each session with different component parts e.g. meditation, journaling etc but right at the heart of each session ...

🌹We slow down.

🌹We breathe.

🌹We spend time in nature (when we are outside)

🌹We drink tea.

🌹We journal.

🌹We chat.

🌹We listen.

🌹Sometimes we laugh.

🌹Sometimes there are tears.

❤️There is no pressure to share.

❤️No expectations.

❤️No pretending you've got it all together.

Just a group of wonderful mums taking a little time to care for themselves.

It isn't about becoming someone different.

It's about remembering who you already are.

🫶That's what you'll find at Thistle & May Wellness 🫶

🌻Sometimes people ask me why I started Thistle & May Wellness🌻

The honest answer is...

Because I know what it feels like to lose yourself in motherhood.

To spend every day making sure everyone else is okay.
To carry the mental load.
To be needed from the moment you wake until your head finally hits the pillow.

Motherhood is beautiful.

But it can also be lonely.

And it can be such a confusing time because you wonder how you can feel so many different emotions in the space of an hour!

Somewhere along the way I realised that mums deserve somewhere to simply be themselves!

A place where nobody expects anything from them.

Where they can breathe.

Where they can laugh, cry, sit quietly or simply drink a hot cup of tea while someone else understands exactly how they feel.

That became Thistle & May 🫶

Every circle, every woodland gathering and every moment together is created with one simple hope...

❤️That every mum leaves feeling a little lighter than when she arrived❤️

If you've ever felt like you've lost a little bit of yourself in motherhood...

I hope one day you'll come and find us. 💛

👋Hi...it's me!👋

If you have booked to come to one of my events, you will have seen that there is a option on the booking form that reads a little bit like this...

'Would you like to receive my newsletter?'

So many of you clicked 'yes'.

But...is there a newsletter?

The answer is no ...[until now!]

There has been some sort of block for me - 'the tech is too hard', 'I don't have time', 'people wont want to hear from me'. Well, it's all rubbish, quite frankly!

So...I have been working on my first newsletter (I am going to celebrate 🥳 for me, it's a BIG thing!)

I am planning for it to be different to me sending an email where I just reel off dates of events that you can book. I want to lovingly create a little plop of love for you- maybe there will be musings, maybe a poem, maybe a little meditation that you can use in your week. Maybe, it might have some journaling prompts so you can set aside 5 minutes.

It will, of course, have information about all the lovely events that you are invited to come to but please know it is more than that ❤️

So, if you are reading this and you would like to receive my very first email newsletter please reply with 'yes' below and I'll be in touch.

Thank you for reading!

🌻What a week it has been🌻

You know when you have one of those weeks when you have to dig deep and just drag yourself through? That has been my week!

It started wel on Sunday with the fabulous Family Festival hosted by Llewella The Art of Wellness-Studio-Yoga-Massage-Wellness Workshops - a gorgeous way to spend a Sunday...but as I was there, my youngest was home being really poorly. And I mean really poorly. I don't know whether it was a bug or heat exhaustion but my poor little boy was a sorry state.

So, he stayed home Monday and Tuesday, while he recovered. I had to postpone my Wild Thistles morning because by Monday I had also started to feel unwell. So Monday and Tuesday were a washout.

Then came Wednesday- Reggie went back to school and I went to work and anyone who works in a school or knows anyone who works in a school will know that last week, although lovely, is literally a slow crawl to the end of the year.

I have given everything and I feel completely spent.

So for the next couple of days I'm going to hide away with my babies and sleep, drink tea, eat the lovely chocolates my class gave me and have a good rest.

I'll be back in the land on the living very soon - and actually we do have a GORGEOUS Monday Mother Circle at Lisa C (spaces available) where we are going to have a pamper night and really celebrate ourselves. Any why not?!

If you've had one of those weeks where you've been hanging on my a thread, I hear you. It is time to rest and reset now.

With so much love,
Amy ❤️

I had a lovely day today at family festival at

I met lots of lovely new people, spoke to lots of other people in the wellness space - i will share all the wonderful business in the coming days, tried my first ever matcha (it was amazing by the way!)

Got the most beautiful crystal from my lovely friend Laura from that I have had my eye on for so long.

A day so lovely and yet one of two halves...a poorly little 6 year old at home who was still being sick when I got home. Lots of rest, best wishes and love for a speedy recovery.

Wish me luck!

Amy ❤️
