Let me be clear, this was not a beautiful curated moment. There was stuff all over the floor, my to-do list was full and there were at least 2 loads of washing that needed doing!

But I was exhausted, and my body was asking for rest. So I listened and prioritised. Even if just for 15 minutes.

Rest and relaxation are not on my base line, they are far from my comfort zone, which is why is it even more important for me to educate myself on the different type of rest that work for me and put this into practice daily.

My motivation is to show my son that his mum, and all women, can live a relaxed and at ease life. We don’t have to be constantly ‘on’ or in ‘do’ mode.

I want him to see me prioritising rest, just on a random Tuesday morning.

I want him growing up knowing that he is not defined by how productive he is or that everything needs to be done before he has earned some rest.

And I know the best way to teach this, is to live it ✨

I did it! 🫟

I’ve just finished reading an incredible book exploring ancient wisdom combined with modern Quantum science. Magic has always existed, and now it’s becoming more mainstream ✨

I love that we have more say over our lives than we are led to believe.. and that a little raise in your vibration and deeper lean towards your authentic self can align some pretty beautiful things for you..

So yes, I painted my fence pink, because why the hell not! 🩷

S E P T E M B E R ✨

The last few months have all been about recalibration. My nervous system had been stuck in fight & flight for over 3 years. Fear, anxiety, stress, urgency and panic had become my daily menu.

Then, as I trusted it would, that season came to an end. A chance to finally exhale, to begin to feel safe and to dare I say it, allow joy to radiate again from within.

This has been a slow and gentle process of readjusting, re-learning and aligning with a higher timeline ✨ Life is good.

As I move into Autumn I am ready to reemerge on this new path. Along with it are some new offerings and a little bit more I’m holding space for each month 😊

I can’t wait to see you, and support your own transformations 💖

5 Tiny Rest Rituals for everyday life!

They’re simple, and hopefully a little different from the usual “take a deep breath and be present” advice :)

Which one will you be doing today?!

If you work at a screen, try not to spend your lunch break looking at another one.
Take your lunch outside, sit by a window, or simply eat somewhere completely different from where you work.
It gives your eyes, brain and body a genuine change of environment rather than just swapping one screen for another.

This one might feel surprisingly uncomfortable.
We can get into the habit of believing we need to finish everything before we’re allowed to rest.
So today, deliberately leave one small thing unfinished.
The email can wait. The washing can stay in the basket. The kitchen doesn’t need to be perfect.
Notice the urge to finish it, and practise letting “enough” be enough.
Rest doesn’t always come after everything is done.

I’ve noticed how often I (we?) say “I just need a quick wee” - even my three year old has picked this up!
But when did an essential body need become something we need to do quickly?
So, next time you need the loo, leave your phone behind, take the long way there and resist the urge to rush back.
It sounds ridiculously simple, but how often do we actually allow our bodies to take the time they need?

Not everything you do needs to be productive, useful or improving you.
Doodle. Rearrange some flowers. Sit in the garden. Make something badly. Sing in the car. Read three pages of a book.
Choose something simply because you enjoy it - not because it achieves anything.
That, too, is rest.

When the kettle is boiling, your computer is restarting, you’re waiting for the children to put their shoes on, or you’re sitting in the car waiting for someone..
Don’t automatically reach for your phone.
Don’t fill the gap.
Let those 30 seconds (or two minutes!) actually be empty.
We are so used to filling every tiny pocket of our day that even a few moments of doing absolutely nothing can feel strangely unfamiliar.
And perhaps that’s the point.

Slow Space Sundays 🌙

A monthly ritual to down-regulate, ease body tension and practise the art of rest and being.

Each session will begin with somatic, intuitive movement; opening, loosening and releasing before melting into longer held yin postures, signalling to our nervous system that it’s safe to stop, and be still.

Finally, we’ll surrender into deep rest for the mind and body through guided meditation.

Whether you feel fuelled by adrenaline, get the Sunday scaries, carry tension that you can’t seem to shift, or simply crave an hour to slow down and be still, this space is for you.

You can arrive exactly as you are and let the rest unfold from there.

Move • Melt • Meditate
📅 First session: 4th October, 7–8pm 📍 Ashingdon Church Hall

Come and give yourself an hour to exhale.

A U G U S T 🦁

This month I sank deeply into the quiet life. No big plans, minimal work. Slow morning, lots of cups of tea and going with the flow 〰️

Fruit & veg was abundant so there was much eating from the land. Gentle meet ups with friends and getting my feet in the sea and on the earth.

And yes, in person Reiki is back.. watch this space 👀

Smiles, laughter, peace, joy 💛

You know what I wish I’d known before I burnt out?

How to listen to my body sooner.
How to say no.
How to stop.
And especially, how to rest without feeling like I’d somehow failed at being productive.

These are things I’m still learning, but they’re now such an important part of how I live, and crucially, how I raise my son.

And they’re the reason Return to Rest feels so personal to me. It’s more than a weekend of rest. It’s a re-education of what rest actually is. An opportunity to experience it, understand what your body needs, and learn how to bring meaningful rest into your life long after you return home.

Return to Rest | February 2027 | The Cotswolds

A weekend to pause, learn, practise and experience rest differently.

There are still spaces available. If this feels like something you need, comment REST or send me a message and I’ll send you the full retreat booklet 🤎

I’m curious, were you taught how to rest, or is it something you’ve had to learn as an adult?
