🌿 Ahhh... beautiful morning with the BEAM carers today 🌿
This morning I had the privilege of guiding an Aromatherapy for the Mind, Body& Heart session as part of the Barefoot BEAM programme.
Together we slowed down with intention 🙏🏻and participants were invited to take on a self exploration journey through aromatherapy, connecting with nine beautiful essential oils, learning how different aromas can support grounding, clarity, emotional balance, relaxation, and self-care. More importantly, we practised something many carers rarely give themselves permission to do
✨ tuning into their own needs✨
There was no right blend, no perfect combination, no competition,
just an invitation to pause, breathe, notice, and trust what felt supportive in that moment.
Each person created their own roller blend, choosing intuitively from top, middle, and base notes, creating a unique synergy that reflected exactly what they needed today.
What touched me most was seeing people move from thinking to sensing.
From "What should I choose?" to "What feels right for me?"
In a world that often asks carers to put everyone else first, today's session was a gentle reminder that their needs matter too.
🌿 Choosing to listen to ourselves.
🌿 Choosing what nourishes us.
🌿 Choosing what supports us.
🌿 Choosing self-care without guilt.
A huge thank you to Faye Fenton for dreaming this project, Kam for her grounding presence and joyful curiosity to explore more for carers, and the wonderful carers who brought such openness, curiosity, and warmth into the room.
My nose😉 and my heart left feeling very full.
Sometimes healing isn't about doing more. Sometimes it's simply about creating enough space to hear your own inner voice again🙏🏻💛 thank you Barefoot Birmingham for creating that space 🙏🏻
