Nobody had simplified Traditional Chinese Medicine like this before. I know that now. In 2020 I did not know if I was onto something or completely mad.

A practitioner attended one of my workshops. One day of training. The following week a client arrived in agony. Hit by a golf ball. In serious pain.

Using what she had learned the day before, this practitioner identified which meridian had been affected and set to work. After a few minutes the client felt an electric shock. And all the pain dissolved. 💫

That story is a big part of why I wrote this book. The Four Functions Framework started in 2020. Movement restrictions. Time to think. Time to go deep.

I had trained in acupressure and found it extraordinarily complicated to remember and apply. So I did what I have always done. I looked for the pattern. And I found it.

I developed a completely new way for Western minds to understand, remember and apply Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Meridian System. Simple enough for self help. Powerful enough for clinical practice.

I ran it past TCM experts to make sure I was genuinely onto something. Every single one confirmed it was simple, novel and original. 🙏

Including the renowned John R. Cross FCSP, Dr. Ac. who has written several TCM books himself.

His words about my work? "Excellent. Inspired. And Original."

I ran the first workshop for practitioners. It sold out. The feedback was jaw dropping. And every single person in that room told me the same thing.

Write the book. 📖 So I did. And I am now sending it to a new literary agency this month.

Everything crossed they are the right fit. 🤞 The full story of how this all began is on the blog.

I found this on the floor during my walk this morning.

Just picked it up. And stopped. Look at the detail. 🪶

Every single strand. The way it fans out at the edges. Almost like a moth's antenna. Or a reed caught mid-sway in the wind.

Something so small. So easily walked past. So completely extraordinary up close.

This is what I mean when I talk about mindful walking.

Not a special technique. Not a practice you have to prepare for. Just… slowing down enough to actually see what is already there. 🌿

The forest floor is full of things like this. Waiting to be noticed. Most of us never look down.

When did you last stop on a walk and actually look?

Not at your phone. Not at the path ahead. But at something tiny, right there at your feet. 💫

95 appointments booked in 48 hours. Wow. 🙏

This is for all 27 of my regular clients.

The ones who just came flying in and snapped up 95 appointments between now and the end of October.

I put the word out a couple of weeks ago. And honestly? They came like a swarm of piranhas. 😄

In the most wonderful way possible. I am fully booked. And I am so deeply grateful. 💫

First, a small but important clarification.

Cosmic Teapot is very much still running. 🌿 There was some confusion a while back about this.

The cabin in the mindfulness garden behind my home is open.

Busy. Thriving. Full.

But I've closed the doors to NEW clients as I don't have space in the diary for them. For in-person Acumassage and bodywork sessions.

What I love most about this work is being part of people's journeys over time. Watching their bodies shift. Watching their lives shift. Seeing what comes to the surface as we continue what I call the process of Systematic Unravelling.

Because that is what this is.

So many of us reach our 30s, 40s, 50s and start to notice that things ache. That patterns keep repeating. That the bike accident from childhood, the sporting injury, the fall, the stress, the grief…

Is still somewhere in the body. Still held. Still affecting things.

That is what I work on with my regular clients.

Layer by layer. Slowly and deliberately. 🙏

To every single client who has put their trust in me over and over again…

Thank you. Truly. It is the greatest privilege of my work. 💜

And watch this space…

Because even though I am now fully booked for in-person sessions, I am opening up online holistic health coaching very soon. 💻

Monday afternoons and Wednesday mornings.

£36 for 45 minutes.

£48 for 60 minutes.

With the option to add a follow-up email including videos, acupressure points, dietary suggestions and exercises to support your progress between sessions.

So if you cannot get to me in person, this could be your way in.

What if the pain that keeps coming back…

The exhaustion that sleep does not fix…

The anxiety, the digestive issues, the brain fog, the feeling of being permanently slightly off…

Were not problems to manage? What if they were messages?

Sent through a system so intelligent, so precise, so ancient that it mapped the entire human body thousands of years before modern medicine existed?

And what if that system was still working perfectly? Just waiting for someone who could actually read it. 🌿

This is the work I do.

I am a psychologist, bodyworker and Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner. And I work at the intersection of all three.

Because the body does not separate your emotions from your organs. Your nervous system from your meridians. Your history from your physical pain.

Neither do I. 💫

Through Acumassage, my own modality combining TCM acupressure with intuitive and remedial bodywork through the myofascial system…

I do not just treat where it hurts. I read the whole map. Because in 3,000 years of medicine, one truth has never changed.

The symptom is rarely where the story starts. And the answer is almost never where you expect to find it. 🙏 This is not surface level wellness.

This is your body finally being understood.

If something has been persisting that nothing else has shifted…

This might be why.

And this might be what changes it.

Your nervous system responds to the colour green before your brain even registers it. 🌿

This is not wellness marketing. This is biology.

Research consistently shows that exposure to the colour green reduces cortisol levels, lowers heart rate and activates the parasympathetic nervous system.

The part responsible for rest, repair and recovery.

Green sits in the middle of the visible light spectrum. It requires the least adjustment from the human eye to process. Which is thought to be one of the reasons it feels so effortless to look at. 💚

For thousands of years our nervous systems evolved surrounded by it.

Leaves. Grass. Canopies. Forest floors. Green was safety. Green was food. Green was home. And your body still remembers that. 🌳

This is a large part of why being in the woods feels like an exhale.

Why a walk in the Forest of Dean shifts something that a walk down a high street simply cannot.

You are not imagining it. Your cells are responding to something real. 🙏

The Japanese call it Shinrin-yoku. Forest bathing. And they have been prescribing it medically for decades.

When did you last spend real time surrounded by green?

Mindful Moments 🌿

Discernment vs Judgement.

In relationships this distinction changes everything.

When someone's behaviour is rattling your cage…

When something they consistently do leaves you feeling uncomfortable or drained…

Judgement says:

They are wrong.

They should behave differently.

They are at fault for not showing up in a way that suits me. 🌀

Discernment says something different.

It says:

The way this person behaves does not work for me.

The way they show up has a negative effect on me that I find hard to reconcile.

Same situation.

Completely different energy. 💫

Judgement puts shame and blame on the other person.

Discernment keeps it where it actually belongs.

With you.

With how it lands for you.

With what works for you and what does not. 🌿

Discernment might mean you remove yourself from the situation.

From the person.

Not because they are wrong.

But because it does not serve you.

That is a very different thing.

And it is worth sitting with.

Because sometimes we also have to ask ourselves honestly…

Are we actually reading the situation correctly in the first place? 🙏

That is where it gets really interesting.

Something to ponder this week.

This sunrise is doing something to your body right now. Even through a screen. 🌅

Give me 90 seconds. Watch this.

Before the day gets loud. Before the to-do list kicks in. Before everything else.

This is the sun rising over the open ocean at Teignmouth, Devon.

Here is what happens in your body when you watch it.

Even now. Even through a screen.

Your amygdala begins to quieten. The part of your brain that is scanning for ‘what next??’.

Already anticipating. Already planning. Already slightly braced.

It starts to stand down. 💫 The rhythm of the waves. That rippling amber light. The stillness of the horizon.

Your nervous system recognises all of it. It has been reading these signals for thousands of generations. And it knows exactly what to do with them.

Stay with this. For the full 90 seconds.

Let the morning begin gently. 🌅

He calls me out on my bullsh*t. With love.

That is rare. Raw truth. With kindness.

It can be hard to hear at first. And jolting. But boy did I need it when I first met him.

This is for one of the most extraordinary people I have ever met. Timaeon is a man of deep wisdom. Real insight. Someone who has more than done the work - he IS the work. :-) :-) :-)

Timaeon offers life readings. Usually starting with the question "What is your biggest complaint right now?"

I went into my first session wanting answers. Wanting confirmation that it was all happening TO me and that it was unfair and I deserved better.

What he did instead was hold up a mirror. 🪞
He showed me, very calmly, that I was the common denominator.
That was uncomfortable.
And life changing.

He also taught me something I have never forgotten.

How we are being that someone is, gives us how we get them.

It takes time to get this one on board but it’s really worth the perseverence!!

Believe someone is mean, and their kindness can look like manipulation.
Believe someone is kind, and everything lands differently.
Our own filters can change everything.

Simple. And really not simple at all.

I go to Timaeon when I suspect I might be the problem…

When I’m struggling in interpersonal relationships to work out what’s ‘right’ and 'wrong’. It gets complicated sometimes right? Between love for self and compassion for others.

He is based in Glastonbury and I cannot wait to see him on the festival circuit this Summer, maybe even sooner.

If you’d like to know more about this amazing being, look him up.

Thank you Timaeon. For the mirror, the honesty, and for bringing consciousness to me around how important how I show up really is, for my whole reality. Especially when it comes to interpersonal relationships.💜🙏

I love you and am so glad to have met you.

Festival season is coming and I can FEEL it. 🎪✨

This photo is from the Bhakti Gathering a few years back. And I was absolutely IN LOVE with this hat. 🎩😄

I love dressing up. Being playful. Having fun and giggles with old friends and new ones.

Most of the festivals I go to have a spiritual element and a strong sense of community. And that matters to me enormously. Finding your people. The ones who are on the same page. The ones with whom you just… resonate. 💫

I am lucky to have many of these people in my life. Though some of them I only see in the Summer. Which actually works beautifully. Following the rhythm of the year.

Winter for quiet time. Introspection. Cuddling up with loved ones. 🕯️ Then late Spring and Summer through to early Autumn for socialising and sharing.

Space. Time. Ideas. Wisdom. Food. Stories. Plans. Love. And LOTS of hugs. 🫂

This year I will be:

🌿 Offering Acumassage

🧘 Teaching Mindfulness and Meditation

🌈 Running Neurodiversity and Gender / Sexuality sessions

At a number of festivals including Q***r Spirit, Sundara, and Rainbow Summer Camp.

And I am very, very excited about all of it. 🙌

Sadly this is NOT my hat.

But I am already dusting off my signature cream cowboy hat and festival dress-up box. 🤠✨

What are you up to this Summer? Do you find socialising easier and more natural in the warmer months?

There are so many faces I cannot wait to see in a month or so. I hope you too have lovely people and plans in place for the season of longer days and lighter evenings. 🌞

At exactly 3pm, he felt an electric shock shoot down the backs of both legs.

And then all the pain was gone. ⚡ Patient H came to me with gait apraxia. A condition affecting his ability to walk properly.

Shuffling. Unsteady. Painful heels and knees.

He had been told it was possibly linked to his insulin medication for diabetes. He had tried physiotherapy. Nothing had helped.

When I looked at the full picture something became clear. Sore heels. Knee pain. A previous lower back operation. Diabetes.

All of it pointing to one pathway. The Bladder Meridian. Every single symptom he presented with sat directly on that line.

I treated the key points along the Bladder Meridian. At the end of the session he felt slightly better. Cautiously optimistic. But skeptical. He went home at 12pm.

At 3pm that afternoon, the Bladder Meridian entered its two hour active window in the organ clock. And that is when he felt it. An electric shock sensation running down the backs of both legs from his buttocks to his heels. After which the pain in his legs, knees and heels completely vanished.

And stayed significantly lessened for several days.

This case is one of my favourites. Not because the result was dramatic. But because the Bladder Meridian told the whole story before I even began.

Read the full case study on the blog.
