Hello 👋

Gonna be a bit of a bummer post I'm afraid but it's a necessity...

I've struggled with mental illness since I was about 12. I've had good periods and bad periods, and it seems I've come to the end of my longest good period (almost 5 years 🎊) and my brain has decided to stop working again 🙃

I'm acutely aware of this weird stigma surrounding mental illness in the wellness industry, the idea that it is a thing we can control with diet, movement, meditation, or good vibes ✨️ and while those things will help unfortunately sometimes you just get ill and you can't prevent it, and that is why modern medicine exists 🎉

So with that I am unfortunately going to cancel our circle this week; I can't pour from an empty cup and my cup has been emptied, dropped, has rolled under the table and I'm currently still trying to find it!

Our mini-retreat is still scheduled for the end of the month, it's set to be a really lovely day, and the next circle will be in May and I've got a special evening planned so if you'd like to know more about either of those things please message me.

I will vaguely be around but part of my self-care is deleting social media apps so I don't doom-scroll my day away while my brain is in a fragile state so I might be somewhat slow to respond, however I will definitely respond 💖

Look after yourselves, look after eachother, I will be back in a few weeks 🖖🏼✨️💖

As a natural optimist, I am a huge fan of ✨️ positive affirmations ✨️, however as someone who also struggles with ✨️ mental illness ✨️ I know that on a bad day, sometimes positive affirmations can just feel like lying to yourself 👀

So I introduce to you.....

🥳🥳 POSITIVE - ISH AFFIRMATIONS 🥳🥳

For example:
- I tried! 🎉
- Not everybody hates me! 🎉
- I have survived 100% of my worst days so far! 🎉

Sometimes you just have to meet yourself where you're at, and if that means celebrating the fact that you got out of bed then that's absolutely fine! It's actually more than fine, it's pretty excellent 👌

And if you didn't make it out of bed that's also fine! There's always tomorrow, or the day after that. You'll get there! But until then, just meet yourself where you're at 💖💖💖

Women in 2024 are tired, burnt out, feeling disconnected from their bodies and grieving the lack of a village 👩🏿‍🦱👩🏻‍🦰👩🏽👵🏻

We give and give to those around us without question but the mere thought of doing something for ourselves is crazy 🤯

But what if it weren't? 🤔

What if you took some time to fill your own cup with relaxation, gentle movement, and sound healing? 🔔 💖

What if you allowed yourself to be held for a moment?

What if you spent a moment to connect to other women and to be in your body? 🧘‍♀️

If that all sounds like something your life needs right now then consider joining us for our womb centered retreat in April!

Guiding you to heal and connect with the divine feminine and allowing you to just take a moment FOR YOU, as you relax, reconnect, and restore some harmony in your life ✨️

You can DM me for more information or book via the link in my bio 👆🏻👆🏻

Book review! 📖

I've got so many books relating to herbal remedies, the Wheel of the Year etc. I've decided to review them one by one for you 🖖🏼💖

First up is The Garden Apothecary by Christine Iverson 🌱

This was one of the first books of this kind that I came to own, it was a birthday gift which I received a few years ago. There is also The Hedgerow Apothecary and The Herbal Apothecary in this series.

They're similar in layout and the way in which they deliver information, and between the three books they contain a huge wealth of knowledge of plants and their practical uses in every day life.

Despite containing a huge breadth of knowledge, this book is clear and easy to understand. Everything is explained in straightforward language, and is laid out kind of like a recipe book which I find really enjoyable, and I love that nothing is too complicated or intimidating!

Alongside the recipes and tips it also contains a lot of folklore and mythology surrounding certain plants which I found soo interesting! I'd read an entire book on plant lore alone 😂🧚‍♀️

The whole book is packed with full colour pictures and illustrations which are just beautiful and really help you to get a feel for what you're working with. This is especially helpful if there's any plants you're unfamiliar with as you can clearly see what you're looking for.

Overall this is one of my absolute favourites and one I always go back to. I can't recommend it enough, whether you're just starting out or you're an experienced herbalist, everyone should have a copy in their library 💖

Definitely 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Happy Mothers Day to all the mums, those waiting to be mums, those wishing to be mums, the grandmothers, stepmothers, mother figures, and to those who are walking a different path entirely 💖

If you're in need of some nurturing yourself or you want to treat another lady in your life, you need our womb healing retreat ✨️

For women walking all paths, at all stages of life, this retreat will help you connect with the divine feminine and leave you feeling relaxed, nourished, and supported.

We'll hold space and guide you through a number of gentle healing practices as you allow yourself to relax and unwind for a full five hours in our beautiful venue.

At our circle on Thursday we were discussing things that light us up ✨️ What sparks joy within you? What makes your soul sing? 🎶

For me it's being in nature. I feel so at home amongst the trees or by a body of water or in the middle of a thunderstorm ⛈️ It's like everything in me says "ah.. there you are. I know you."

I've not been spending nearly as much time in nature as I'd like recently but I plan to rectify that! I've seen so many beautiful things since I started to connect to the natural world and I still live in a constant state of awe at how beautiful and powerful it all is 💖

⭐️ Bonus little fun fact: every photo and video on this reel was taken in the UK 🇬🇧 most of them around South Oxfordshire! But where's the most beautiful place you've ever been?

In my life I've been very fortunate to be surrounded by lots of strong women, who've each influenced me in their own way to help me become who I am today.

I'm realising I dont have pictures of a lot of them! But these are a few.

So to the women who have impacted my life, the ones who support me every day, to those who came before me, and those I'm yet to meet - happy international women's day 💖✨️

✨️ TONIGHT ✨️
Is our March New Moon circle 🌙

For me at least, today has been a DAY. Nothing particularly has gone wrong (except my son tipping my tea leaves everywhere 🙃) but I'm just feeling a little wonky at the moment 🤷‍♀️

So I want to take this opportunity to remind everyone to just come as you are to these gatherings. Happy, sad, grumpy, excited, anxious, lil bit wonky brained - however you feel, we'll meet you where youre at.

Just show up.

Talk or don't. Fully engage or just sit and chill in a peaceful space for an hour. Take as much as you need. Leave the rest 💖
