Back in my Happy place this Morning with my Bestie 💚
I’ve missed these walks so much this week 😢
As I navigate my life back into work and the overwhelm this has brought, being back in Nature with my safe person is just what I needed today.

Wow wow wow… 🥹✨

Rest & Retreat weekend gave us all so much… and more!

I can honestly say it has been one of the best weekends of my life and one I will never forget. ❤️

It was a truly incredible weekend, not only for the beautiful guests who stayed with us for three amazing nights, but also for the day guests who joined us for a day of transformational Breathwork and healing Sound Baths.

From watching our beautiful guests arrive, to seeing them leave feeling lighter, more connected and somehow different people… and that includes Myself, Angela, Andy and Suzie. ✨

To think that just a few weeks ago I wasn’t even going to attend the retreat. I was battling extreme anxiety, unprocessed grief and getting completely inside my own head, convincing myself that I wasn’t good enough to hold space for other people.

But I did it.

I held space.

And it was one of the most healing experiences, not only for me, but for every beautiful soul who joined us.

Working alongside Angela, Andy and Suzie three people who believed in me when I struggled to believe in myself and who have supported me endlessly, is something I will never take for granted. ❤️

And every single person who joined us over the weekend will never go unseen either.

Something shifted in all of us this weekend.

There were tears, laughter, emotions, releases, connections and so many beautiful moments… and watching it all unfold was truly magical.

I think we all left with a little more of ourselves than we arrived with. ✨

My heart is so full.

Thank you to every single person who trusted us enough to share this experience with us.

Love always,

Mandy ❤️

I was gifted this beautiful present from one of my amazing friends, who has supported me through both the good times and the really bloody difficult ones. ❤️

I won’t name her, because she doesn’t do things for recognition. She does them simply because she is one of the kindest people I know, with the biggest heart.

She’s navigating her own s**t, yet somehow she always finds the space to be there for other people too.

She supports me in life, but she also supports my business in ways she probably doesn’t even realise — liking, sharing and cheering me on with pretty much everything I post. 🥰

Recently, I shared a chance to win a place on a retreat I’m co-hosting. And, of course, my gorgeous friend liked, shared and supported me, just as she always does.

And this is where kindness came full circle…

She actually won the competition! 🥹❤️

It made me smile because sometimes kindness really does come back around in the most beautiful and unexpected ways.

After everything she has done for me, I honestly cannot wait to hold space for my beautiful friend and give back some of the love, support and kindness she has given me over the years.

Sometimes the people who spend so much time holding everyone else deserve to be held too. ❤️

And I feel incredibly lucky that I get to be that person for her this time. ✨

These days, I start my mornings with an early walk through the woods with my dogs. 🌿🐾

It’s become something I really treasure.

It helps me feel grounded and calm, and gives me space to breathe before the day begins. It forces me to slow down, be present and notice the beauty in the little things around me.

Just a month ago, I felt completely overwhelmed. Everything felt like too much. I couldn’t make decisions, couldn’t think clearly, and eventually I cancelled everything I had planned and simply retreated.

I needed to stop.

To rest.

To breathe.

And to just be.

Today feels different. I’m starting to look forward to things again. I’m making plans for the future and, slowly, I’m beginning to feel like myself again.

Nature, grounding and learning to slow down have played such a huge part in getting me here.

But so has the love and support of my family, and my beautiful friends who have helped me believe in myself when I struggled to believe in who I am.

Sometimes we don’t need to push harder.

Sometimes we need to stop, breathe, reconnect with ourselves and allow ourselves the space to rise again.

And I think that’s what I’m doing now. 🌿✨

Slowly rising back into the person I was always meant to be.

Love always,
Mandy 🤍
