16 hours alone in the forest. No food. Just water. 22km. 36,000+ steps.

Why would anyone choose that?

It was a medicine walk, part of my training with to become a Forest Bathing Practitioner. A practice rooted in research showing that time in natural environments can lower cortisol, reduce blood pressure, improve mood, and support immune function.

I went in expecting fear: safety, hunger, discomfort.

But the moment I stepped into the forest at sunrise, under the dawn chorus, surrounded by stillness, something shifted. The body settled. My mind softened. My nervous system seemed to exhale.

What replaced the fear was connection. Deep, quiet, restorative connection.

Some of the moments that stayed with me:
• Lying in a sun-dappled meadow in the early hours, watching light move through grass
• Sketching foxgloves, time stretching and dissolving
• A curious squirrel interrupting my flute playing like it belonged in the performance
• Meditating on a memory bench, face warmed by gentle sun
• Cooling overheated feet in an icy river after hours of walking

What feels extreme here isn’t actually the point.

Research into forest bathing (Shinrin-yoku) shows that even 2 hours in woodland can significantly reduce stress markers, and benefits can last for days to weeks afterwards. Some studies even suggest sustained improvements in mood and immune activity after regular exposure.

You don’t need a 16-hour walk or total solitude to receive nature’s medicine.

You just need time. And trees🌳 🌱🌲🌳🍃🌿 🌱

Last month I had the pleasure of completing powerful Acutonics® training delivered by the incredible 3 days immersed in learning alongside my sound sister and taking turns to give treatments to each other on the couch, sharing tips, inspiring stories, grounding early morning walks alongside our four legged little and large friends and sharing delicious food.

Working with sound, acupoints and meridians to support the body’s natural healing, using tuning forks calibrated to planetary frequencies. This work blends energy, science and ancient wisdom, helping restore balance across body, mind and spirit through vibration.

So excited to start integrating this into my treatments at our studio near Boscastle.

🤩 Freshly refreshed studio at Little Bartha, softly glowing and ready to welcome a lovely client this morning into a cocoon of calm for deep relaxation and a beautifully tailored, bespoke tuning fork treatment.

Step away from the noise of the world and into a space where time slows, the nervous system softens, and every note is designed to gently guide you back into balance. Let the subtle vibrations melt tension, realign your energy, and awaken a quiet sense of harmony within.

If your body is calling out for a little re-tune, a pause, or a moment just for you, I would be truly honoured to hold this space.

Message to book your session or for further information. I look forward to welcoming you 🫶

Feeling overwhelmed? I recently spoke with someone who desperately wanted to come to our monthly Yin and Sound event yesterday hosted by me and but said they felt too overwhelmed to actually make it there.

And, honestly? That hit me.

Because overwhelm is exactly why these spaces exist. Not because you need to be calm, flexible, or “ready”, but because you are human.

You don’t need to arrive peaceful.
You don’t need to have it all together.
You don’t even need to know what you need.

You can arrive exactly as you are: busy mind, heavy heart, tired body and all and everything in between.

These sessions are a pause. A reset.
A place where your nervous system can finally exhale.

If you have been telling yourself “I’ll come when I feel less overwhelmed”, this is your gentle reminder: this is exactly the thing that can help you feel less overwhelmed.

If this resonates with you, or someone you know needs this space, we would love to welcome you.

Message me to book your spot or to find out more 🫶

🤩 Wow what an incredible and beautifully diverse month it has been!

From Full Moon Yin & Sound Immersions with my soul sister to a private family soundbath woven into pre-wedding celebrations… couples’ treatments, an evening soundbath for Spring Equinox for an all-male retreat nourishing all-female gatherings and an evening gongbath for a heart-opening mixed group retreat with with the soothing sounds of the waterfalls below us at the stunning

Plus guiding intimate 1:1 sessions and group Shinrin-Yoku experiences deep in the forest.

I am so grateful for the variety, the connection, and the trust. Being able to hold space, guide, and witness people on their healing journeys is something I will never take for granted.

A huge thank you to everyone who invited me in, it is truly a privilege 🫶

“Your vibe attracts your tribe”! Sometimes people come into your life and you have that instant connection. The universe brought us together and I am so grateful for Claire Bowring Wellbeing, my soul sister! Can’t wait for our upcoming events 🥰🫶

2025 was not gentle with me.
It took dear ones far too soon.
It stretched relationships to their breaking point.
It taught me lessons I never asked for but clearly needed.

I literally stumbled and tripped my way through the year, more than once.
Sprained ankles.
A wasp sting on my bare foot 🐝
And, finally, falling flat on my face and earning myself a black eye.

As painful (and humbling) as it all was, here’s what 2025 gave me:

- Nothing is guaranteed.
- Busyness is not a badge of worth.
- I do not need to justify or prove myself to anyone, especially not to myself.
- I am enough. Just as I am.

So 2026, I’m choosing differently.
Slower days.
Softer edges.
Simplicity. Calm. Presence.

Less human doing.
More human being.
More joy in the small, quiet moments that often go unnoticed.

Here’s to moving forward with intention, grace, and a whole lot more gentleness 🫶

❄️ Today is World Meditation Day and the Winter Solstice: a powerful pause point inviting stillness, reflection and a gentle reset for mind, body, and energy.

I used to think meditation meant clearing my mind completely, which felt impossible. Then I learned that it is not about emptying your mind, just quietening it a little. And no, you don’t need to sit cross-legged in silence for hours.

Here are 5-minute practices anyone can try:

1. Breath Awareness
Sit comfortably and notice your natural breath. If your mind wanders, gently guide it back, no judgment.

2. Box Breathing (4-4-4-4)
Inhale for 4 counts • Hold the breath in for 4 • Exhale for 4 • Hold out for 4. Repeat to calm the nervous system.

3. Quick Body Scan
Move attention all the way from your toes up to the top of your head, noticing sensations but without trying to change them.

4. Gratitude Mindfulness
Think of 3 things for which you are grateful and really feel each one.

5. Mindful Walking
Walk slowly and notice your steps, the air on your skin, and the sounds and scents around you.

On this shortest day of the year, even 5 minutes of presence can shift your energy, lift your mood, and bring you back to centre. Try one today and notice what happens

🍑 “Where are your bum cheeks?!” 🍑
I know! Odd question. But I was recently encouraged by the lovely Simone to ask myself this whenever I am feeling wobbly, anxious, or a little overwhelmed… and honestly? It works.

This time of year can be beautiful but can also come with a lot of pressure and busyness, leaving many of us feeling frazzled and on edge. If you need a gentle reset that also makes you laugh (and laughter is a brilliant way to calm the nervous system), try it.

Pause. Breathe. Ask yourself:
👉 “Where are my bum cheeks?”

Notice what happens. You might just feel a little more grounded, present, calm and with a smile on your face too!
