Ok, I admit it: I am obsessed with flowers 🥰

They just have a way of lifting me up.

And what we surround ourselves with matters… the things we love can shift how we feel more than we realise.

Happy Friday 💚

I had the longest day yesterday 😩

After an emotionally heavy day, I found myself stranded on the side of the road with a sudden flat tire. What followed was a six-hour misadventure. I waited for ages for roadside assistance, sometimes standing in the rain because I didn't feel comfortable staying inside my car on a busy dual carriageway.

When the recovery truck finally arrived, I felt as if I could breathe again; and something beautiful happened...my car was framed by the most spectacular double rainbow. That brought a smile back to my face.

But the journey wasn't over. Because of a misunderstanding with the dispatcher, I was taken to a service station instead of directly to my mechanic. More delays. More uncertainty. More wondering when I would finally get home. 😔

While we were on the phone trying to sort everything out, a distressed man approached us. He was stranded with a flat tire on his van and needed help. Inside the van was a little girl, perhaps seven years old, looking worried and sad. We made eye contact.

Within about 30 minutes, their tire was fixed and they were able to continue their journey. As they left, the little girl turned around to look at me, gave me a shy smile and a small wave.

Oh that simple moment warmed my heart.

And suddenly a thought clearly came to me: maybe the detour wasn't a mistake after all. Maybe the misunderstanding that frustrated me so much was the very thing that placed me where I needed to be, at the exact moment someone else needed help.

And that's when something shifted inside me. My body relaxed. I realised how tense I had been for hours. I stopped fighting what was happening and started accepting things as they were.

Sometimes we only see inconvenience, delay, and disruption. But every now and then, life reminds us that we are part of a much bigger picture...one we can't always understand in the moment.

A flat tire, a double rainbow, and a little girl's smile reminded me of that. 🙏

What if the thing you are resisting right now is leading you somewhere you can't yet see? That’s a question worth sitting with. 💚

Day 7 of my foraging week 🌿

And just like that, we’ve reached the final day of my designated foraging week.

It feels quite fitting that today’s plant is Horsetail, gathered from one of the rested horses’ fields. I couldn’t really finish a week inspired by my horses with a plant called horsetail, could I? 😄

In fact, my interest in herbalism started because of my horses. Over the years, I noticed them self medicating, seeeking out certain plants and seeming to know exactly what they needed. Watching them sparked my curiosity about the medicinal properties of plants, and before long I found myself learning, foraging, and using many of them to support my own health too. 😊

A little about horsetail: it is particularly valued for its high silica content and has traditionally been used to support healthy hair, skin, nails, bones, and connective tissues.

Thank you for following along on my foraging adventure. I hope it has inspired some of you to look a little closer at the plants growing around you.

And as always, go out there and find your own way to connect with nature 🌿 however that looks for you. Your whole being will thank you for it. 😊

It's so easy to get caught up in everything we need to do, looking after others, and ticking things off the endless to-do list... and before we know it, there's very little time left for ourselves.

But time for ourselves really does matter.

The Summer Solstice is fast approaching, and so is our Summer Solstice Wellbeing Event. This is the third year we've held this event, and every year it feels like such a special opportunity to pause, reconnect, and celebrate the season together.

There are still a few spaces available, and we'd truly love to share this experience with you.

Imagine spending time in nature, being gently guided through meditation and reflection, experiencing sound healing, and spending time in the calm, grounding presence of horses as the sun begins to set over the beautiful landscape.

A few hours just for you... to breathe, reset, reflect, and simply be.

If you've been thinking about coming, now is the time to book your place. We'd love to welcome you.

Message me or Claire Marie Doyle directly to book and avoid the Eventbrite fees.

Day 6 of my foraging week 🌿

It’s easy to forget about winter when summer is practically here. With the sunshine returning and everything growing and blooming, the cold days feel far away… but it’s good to be prepared…’cause they will come!

So today’s plant is Ground Ivy, a humble little plant, but a wonderful one to use as a herbal tea to support the respiratory system and help with coughs, colds, and congestion.
It’s also lovely added fresh to salads, with a slightly spicy-aromatic flavour.

Go out there and find your own way to connect with nature 🌿 however that looks for you. Your whole being will thank you for it. 😊

Day 5 of my foraging week 🌿

It's grey and raining today, so I've chosen red clover as plant of the day... my way of bringing a little colour into an otherwise v dull day 🌧️

Beautiful and delicate, I particularly welcome it in my herbal tea selection because it supports us women through the changes of menopause!

Did you know that it contains natural plant compounds that have a gentle oestrogen-like effect and may help ease symptoms such as hot flushes and night sweats. 🥵

Day 4 of my foraging week 🌿

It's Nettles day! Often dismissed as just a stinging w**d, yet one of the most nourishing wild greens we can find...

A wonderful mineral-rich wild plant, high in iron, calcium, magnesium and other nutrients, a nourishing tonic, and really helpful for hay fever too!

I’m making sure to pick some before they go to seed. Some will be dried for herbal teas, and some will be turned into a yummy nettle risotto 😋

There’s something really special about gathering food straight from the garden aisles instead of the shop aisles...simple, nourishing, and real.

Go out there and find your own way to connect with nature 🌿 however that looks for you. Your whole being will thank you for it. 💚

Sometimes we all need a little boost to help us meet the demands of life.

This morning, mine is colorful and smells wonderful. 🥰

Freshly picked roses and sweet peas, alongside a jug of rose water. Nothing life-changing, but something simple that has lifted my spirits before the day gets going.

As a wellbeing practitioner, I pay attention to things that help me feel more like myself. We often think of wellbeing as something big that needs planning and effort, but often it's found in the smallest moments...flowers picked from the garden, a beautiful scent ...a quiet pause.

The jobs still need doing and the day ahead hasn't changed, but somehow I feel a little brighter as I get on with it.

What's giving you a little boost today?

Day 3 of my foraging week 🌿

The rain didn't stop me... In fact, there was something quite calming about mindfully wandering around the garden, listening to the raindrops and noticing what plant was calling today 😊

Today’s pick (literally!): Mugwort, an interesting plant… best known for its association with vivid and lucid dreams. …and I like the idea of it as a doorway into a more conscious dream world.

Go out there and find your own way to connect with nature 🌿 however that looks for you. Your whole being will thank you for it. 🙏

So today apparently is Blue Monday, also known as the saddest day of the year!

But imagine feeling like this not just today...imagine feeling like this regularly, or even every day. 😔

For many people, including many of my clients, the sadness, heaviness, and tiredness talked about on Blue Monday is their normal life. They wake up carrying worries, pain, loneliness, or fear, and still try their best to get through the day.

Often, no one can see this from the outside.

So today I take the opportunity to share a gentle reminder: be kind.

Be kind to the people close to you.
Be kind to the stranger standing next to you in a queue.
Be kind to the colleague who seems quiet or distant.

'Cause you never truly know what someone is going through in their life...and a small act of kindness... a smile, a kind word, a moment of patience, can mean more than you realise.

Kindness costs nothing, but it can make a heavy “Blue Monday” type of day feel lighter. In fact sometimes, it can be the reason someone keeps going! 🙏
