Are you “bad” at mindfulness?
Is your mind is too busy?
Are you worried about being more IN your body when you are already in pain?

I am here to tell you it's OK.

You are not bad at mindfulness - that's impossible!
Of course you're mind is busy, you're human.
And if you're worried about the pain, I am here to help you move out of pain, not straight into it.

The way I teach is gentle and calm.
There is no wrong way to do it, no hoops to jump through or boxes to tick.

Just an invitation to pause, be present, accepting and tuned into what your body needs.

Is mindfulness something you've explored or thought about to help you move out of pain before?

Do you like my mid sentence face? I love the screenshots that come out when editing videos. 🤣

To be honest with you, I never anticipated that so much of this work would actually require so much digital knowledge, (and so many screenshots like this), but it turns out this is a great way to meet people who need my support.

In clinic I can only help a certain amount of people.

Access depends on both geography and financials, not to mention my own energy levels. I can't physically work 24/7.

Creating an online mindfulness course is my way of trying to find a way to help more.

Anyone can join from anywhere, geography is no longer a barrier.

Because it's group work, and online, the price is less than in person 121 work, so financials are less of a barrier.

And I can do it from home, around my clinic hours, so my own energy is easier to manage too.

You'll start to see me talking about this new course of mine more and more, I hope it will be the first of many.

If my own journey has taught me anything, it's that moving out of pain is a lot easier when you lean into the gifts that mindfulness brings us.

As I get ready to get this out in the world, your support here means the world.

Keep following for more information and to cheer me on (if you feel so inclined)! :)

You can’t eat your way out of pain.

Let’s be clear: nutrition matters. Food fuels your body and gives it the building blocks it needs to repair. That is non-negotiable.

But what makes me deeply uncomfortable is scrolling through social media and seeing influencers, often selling something, claiming they have the magic answer to chronic pain and fatigue.

You’ve seen the posts:

“Take Turmeric/Curcumin and your pain will vanish!”

“Magnesium Glycinate is the only thing you need!”

“CBD Oil will fix your nervous system overnight!”

“Ashwagandha eliminates fatigue instantly!”

“Collagen repairs everything!”

None of these are a silver bullet.

None of them address the nervous system’s need for safety, or the emotional toll of living with daily symptoms.

When we pin our hopes on a single supplement, we set ourselves up for disappointment when the pain doesn’t magically disappear, we feel like we’ve failed again.

Real healing isn’t found in a bottle.

It’s found in a gentle, consistent relationship with your body. It’s a requires slowing down, listening, and making peace with where you are right now.

It might not be very sexy but promise me, you'll save your money and skip the “miracle” hype today.

No matter how easy they make it seem!

When you’re in pain, your body can feel unsafe.

We learn to switch off our awareness, our connection, and our communication with our body.

Feeling it all is too hard, this feels easier.

I know all this too well, sadly.

But I also know how I have been able to move away from pain and it hasn’t been avoiding the signals by body is sending me, the most progress I have made is when I’ve been listening.

And then giving my body what it is asking for.

But I have to listen first to find out.

What about you? Are you listening to your body or trying to ignore it as much as possible?

Why I called my new online course, Make Peace with Mindfulness (Ok, part of the reason is my name but there is more to it. I just happen to be super lucky to have a last name that aligns so perfectly with my business and what I want to create for others.

A space we can MAKE PEACE!

So this is an 8-week online course for people living with daily pain and fatigue.. and here is why ‘making peace’ matters so much.

For a lot of people I speak to who are living with pain, mindfulness feels like another battle. You try to “fix” the pain, your mind resists, and you end up feeling like you’ve failed.

It’s time to lay down your arms.

The reality is that real relief often starts only when we stop trying so hard to “fix” everything.

The course launches this Autumn. Spaces will be strictly limited to 15 for personal support.

If you’re not already on the waitlist - now is the time to ask me about it so you’ll be the first to kow when it comes out.

It's not actually about the bath, but yes, have a warm bath.

Of course there are genuine physical benefits from soaking your body in warm, soothing water.

But the act of taking care of yourself is just as important.

It's a signal to yourself that you matter, that you are taking time to lean into relaxation, that you are honouring your body and taking action to meet it's needs.

So go on, run a warm bath.

You deserve it.

In my treatment room, the dynamic is simple: your boundaries matter, and we need to respect them. I am here to work with you, not on you.

Every session is a collaboration where your comfort and autonomy come first.

This is a space designed for you to feel safe, heard, and fully in control of your healing journey.

The way we treat ourselves is the blueprint for how we treat the world. 🌍✨

It’s impossible to be truly sincere with others if we are constantly criticising ourselves internally.

When you operate from two layers of judgment, helping others while hurting yourself, your compassion has a ceiling.

But as you align with your center, something shifts.

Kindness to yourself isn’t selfish; it’s the source.

When you drop the self-criticism, your capacity for compassion outside of yourself grows exponentially. 💛

True connection starts within.

I’ve really struggled the last couple of weeks with various things, and I want to say out loud thank you to the amazing and inspiring humans im lucky enough to have in my corner.

I’ve spent time meditating, letting go and processing something really difficult and I’ve never felt more supported when asking for help.

The author of the Body keeps the score once said: “we heal in community”

I used to feel like the things that help us heal: nature , community, compassion and connection are completely free.

Now I think that they’re priceless.
