Wellness From Within

02/07/2026

The Farnham is somewhere I’ve been to countless times before, though I’ve never seen it from these angles or seen this view or perspective of it because today I took myself on a quick walk through the grounds.

It got me thinking about life and how it sometimes takes a change of perspective for us to have a totally different opinion and view of things, and with that often comes a fresh appreciation.

What can you choose to look at differently? What new perspective can you take on something when you choose to look at from a different angle with fresh eyes?

“You’re absolutely amazing the way you are” 💕

How many times do we tell our kids this? How many times do we tell ourselves this? 🤔

This morning finished off a six week course in Monaghan sponsored by where we looked at the impact of our well-being on ourselves and our kids 💕🌟

How we’re not always taught or trained how to speak kindly to ourselves, to give ourselves a break or compassion for how we’re feeling and doing, we don’t always know how to process our traumas and triggers then give ourselves a hard time when we don’t handle every situation perfectly 🤪💕

This week we looked at the impact of everyday free self care tools on ourselves, on our kids and families and on our community. Most of us carry something, some more visible and known than others. Throughout it all is a lesson, a journey, a choice and a remembering - that we deserve love, joy and kindness no matter what we’ve been through. Our kids deserve the absolute best of us - not whats left of us. We deserve to keep our own cups as full as we can as often as we can as we nurture and support the next generation who will hopefully learn some of the things in childhood that most of us are learning in adulthood, that they matter, they deserve love and validation, their needs matter and they deserve their place in the world 🌍💕🌟

The feedback from the course participants was once again mind blowing. From the bottom of my heart thanks to everyone who came along and participated each week with an open mind and heart 💓

Time to close this chapter of the book… 📖

Thank you to everyone who has come to me in person and online for reiki and energy healing treatments over this last four years. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed providing treatments and being part of many peoples journeys.

The time has come however to step away from that part of the wellness work 💚

For anyone who still has a voucher for a treatment, they are still valid for essential oils so get in touch if you have a voucher you would like to avail of 🌟

I’m continuing to share wellness and reset tools for groups of parents through community groups and organisations, so get in touch if you would like to hear more about those 🌟

When I first started Wellness From Within it was all about sharing things I learned through my Psychology Degree, mindfulness and cognitive behaviour therapy diplomas along with some Journalling, emotion regulation and self love practices I had been taught. These were things I was doing myself and loved and always received a great response from course participants 🙏

Over the years as my son has gotten older, I’ve continued with my own healing journey and have been working through some things, and have come to realise that there has been something massive missing - a solid understanding of nervous system regulation. How the nervous system works, the systems involved, how the body stores trauma and responds to threats, and how we can learn to create a sense of safety and connection within the physical body.

I look forward to learning and understanding this stuff, primarily for myself, but no doubt it will spill over into future courses too.

Parenting as a sole parent with my own triggers and traumas and trying to share some helpful tools that help reset me along the way, has been very cathartic for me. I look forward to continuing the journey and the learning 💚🌟

Essential Oils that are popular this week, in under 3 minutes 💚

Wild Orange 🍊 citrus oil, the oil of abundance and creativity

Lemon 🍋 the oil of focus, great for cleaning & diffusing for a fresh scent in the air

Lemongrass 🪴 brilliant for flat PMT feelings or anxiety and depression - mood uplifter

Magnolia 🌱 the oil of compassion 💖

Oils can be diffused, used topically WHEN MIXED WITH A CARRIER OIL due to their potency, rolled onto pressure points.

Fun fact 🤩 when essential oils are rolled onto the soles of your feet they go into every cell of your body in 20 minutes 👌🏻

Essential oils provide FANTASTIC emotional support for these changing times we are living through 💚

The impact of what you do on yourself and others around you 🌟

A lot of that is out of your control. We can’t control how people receive us, hear us, how that lands and resonates with their experience of the world 💚

We are all connected to each other and what we see feel and experience with others goes through the filters of our perceived reality.

The protests over the last week have deeply resonated with me and my perceived reality for a number of reasons:
- I was impressed with the passion of people speaking their truth about their standard of living
- I recognised the knock on effect - their reality reflected others reality, the protests grew in support and numbers and there was a real strength in unity

Then came the response to the protests and the speaking up…

- I resonated with the experience of being and feeling unheard, shut down, below par attempts made to pacify
- I recognised the gaslighting through some of the Irish national media coverage and government responses, having your own reality dismissed, silenced and invalidated and being unduly and harshly punished for using your voice

This is part of what happens with wellness from within… seeing a reality, an experience playing out in the real world, having a reaction to it and learning to unpick and understand where that came from.

Shining the light on our own darkness and wounds with empathy and compassion and then learning to rewrite our own story… my course is designed for parents to learn how to do this for themselves, to unpack their reactions triggers and wounds and to receive tools and supports to rewrite their story for the betterment of themselves and their children’s well-being, connections, relationships and futures 💚🌟

We’re all on our own journey, collectively and individually 💚🌟
