🍂 Welcome September 🍂

September has always felt like a month of transition to me 💫

Summer slowly begins to release its grip, the evenings draw in, the colours of nature start to change and there’s a gentle shift in energy all around us 🌿

Nature doesn’t resist the change of season … it simply lets go of what it no longer needs and makes space for what comes next.

Perhaps we can do the same 🤍

September can be a beautiful time to turn inward, to pause and ask yourself:

✨ What am I ready to let go of?
✨ What is my intuition trying to tell me?
✨ What do I want to nurture in this next chapter?
✨ And what might be waiting to unfold when I trust myself a little more?

This is something that sits at the heart of the work I do.

I believe we often have far more answers within us than we realise. My role isn’t to tell you what those answers are - it’s to create the space for you to access them 💫

And as we move into this new season, there are lots of ways we can explore that together …

🌙 Moon Circles - a beautiful space to pause, reflect, connect with yourself and other women, and work with the energy of the lunar cycle.

🔮 Spiritual Hypnosis & Soul Journeys - for those who feel drawn to explore beyond the conscious mind. These experiences can take many different forms, including past-life exploration, meeting your higher self, connecting with your inner wisdom and other deeply personal journeys.

✨ Hypnotherapy - helping you create meaningful change by working with the subconscious mind and your own inner resources.

🤍 Reiki - a gentle space to relax, restore and reconnect.

🌿 Indian Head Massage - soothing, grounding and simply giving your mind and body permission to switch off.

You don’t always need to know exactly what you’re looking for.

Sometimes you just know that something needs to shift.

Sometimes there’s a quiet little nudge saying, “There’s more …”

And sometimes the first step is simply creating enough stillness to hear it 💫

So, welcome September 🍂

A new season.
A chance to release.
A chance to reconnect.
A chance to listen to that quiet inner knowing …

And perhaps discover what’s been there all along 🤍

☁️ Cloud spotting … what do you see? ☁️

I’ve always loved watching the clouds.

I remember summer days as a child, lying on a blanket in the garden, daydreaming, happy in my own little world and noticing all the different shapes in the sky ☁️

I took this photo on Friday evening, after the most gorgeous sound bath hosted by Ruth of Essence of Reiki 💫

It felt like one of those little moments where everything slows down … where you can simply breathe, look up and be.

And as we begin to move towards a change of season, I’m feeling that even more.

There’s something about the seasons changing that reminds us that we’re not meant to stay the same all the time. Nature slows down, lets go, rests and then begins again.

I think we need to give ourselves permission to do the same 🤍

As therapists and practitioners, we spend so much of our time holding space for other people that it’s important we take time to hold space for ourselves too.

Taking time out isn’t a luxury. It’s part of looking after our energy, reconnecting with ourselves and making sure we have something left to give.

Sometimes that looks like a sound bath.

Sometimes it’s sitting in nature.

Sometimes it’s lying on a blanket watching the clouds …

… and sometimes it’s simply doing absolutely nothing. 💫

And speaking of creating space … 👀✨

I’ve got some exciting things coming to my group work very soon, and I’m really looking forward to sharing more with you.

Something new is beginning to take shape - creating beautiful spaces for connection, reflection, authenticity and simply being you 🤍

But for now …

☁️ Look up at the clouds and tell me… what do YOU see? ☁️ 🧡💫🤍

Almost five years on and I'm still figuring out my "quirks"! 💫

Getting an ADHD diagnosis was just the start.

It was validating. It helped me understand myself better and, perhaps most importantly, learn to be much kinder to myself (most of the time! 😂)

But the diagnosis didn't suddenly give me all the answers.

I'm still learning how my brain works. I'm still recognising patterns, understanding why certain things have always felt harder than they seemed to for other people and discovering that some of the things I once saw as flaws are actually just part of how I'm wired.

I'm learning to work with my brain rather than constantly trying to work against it.

And it's one of the reasons my own neurodivergence has become such an important part of how I work with my clients.

As a hypnotherapist, I know that no two people are the same and I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach.

We start with a conversation. I want to understand you - how you think, what your mind does, what keeps you stuck and what you'd love to be different.

Once I understand how your mind works, I can tailor the way we work together and introduce strategies that can help you quieten the mental chatter, switch off from the constant thinking and create a little more space in your head.

One client recently told me:

"That felt amazing. My mind has never been so quiet."🤍

For someone whose brain is constantly busy, that can be such a powerful feeling.

You don't need to fit a particular mould to benefit from hypnotherapy.

You just need to be willing to explore what makes your mind tick and perhaps discover that there are ways of making life feel a little easier.

Almost five years after my diagnosis, I'm still learning about myself.

And maybe that's the point.

We're never really finished figuring ourselves out 💫

I currently have a small number of 1:1 appointments available, with my next appointment on 8th September.

If you're curious about whether hypnotherapy could help you, you can book a free 15-minute chat with me first. There's no pressure or obligation, it's simply a chance for us to have a chat, see if we're a good fit and decide whether working together feels right for you.

*Late diagnosis of ADHD in women* - this is a subject I can wholly relate to.

I was listening to a Mel Robbins podcast this week (I'll post a link in the comments) where she spoke with Dr Gabor Mate on the subject of trauma & it's link with adhd, autism, addiction & auto immune diseases.

This quote really stood out :
*"I think what happens is as women get older they tend to get a bit less repressed and the tendencies that are in them, that they have tried to kind of control in order to be acceptable and to fit in, it becomes intolerable for them, particularly peri-menopausally. It becomes a real chore for women to continue to fit the stereotype in which they were moulded. So I think whatever is in them is more likely to show up."*

Having the gradual realisation in my early 40s that as a 'square peg' I was no longer willing, or indeed able, to conform or fit into the round hole my employer was attempting to force me into. I stopped being 'the good girl', the mask slipped & I began to rebel. This happened on a subconscious level initially and I worried daily that I'd be dismissed. Brain fog meant instructions became a word soup & I frequently felt mentally paraylsed. It really seemed as though the wheels were falling off my life!

A Guardian article entitled 'The Lost Girls' shared by a friend online resonated so strongly with me & that set me on a research path which led to me eventually getting my diagnosis of combined ADHD at the age of 46. With this came relief, understanding & a whole host of other emotions to unpick.

If any of this resonates with you & it's something you'd like to talk about then please get in touch. I don't have all the answers by any means but through research, coaching & lived experience I've learnt a lot about myself & I'm happy to share the things that work for me 🧡💫🤍

I love spiritual work 💫

But I also believe spiritual work needs to be grounded 🌳

We've probably all come across the kind of spiritual guidance that feels a little too certain, a little too prescriptive, or skips over the very human experiences we're here to navigate.

For me, Intuitively Spiritual Hypnosis is different. 🧡

It's about blending spirituality, intuition and soul exploration with the safety, structure and depth of hypnosis.

Yes, we may explore past lives.

Yes, we may connect with your higher self.

Yes, we may explore spirit guides, soul lessons, energy awareness, the space between lives, or the Akashic Records.

But this isn't about someone telling you what your journey means.

It's not about imposing beliefs or creating a story for you.

It's about creating a safe space for your own inner wisdom to emerge.

My role is not to lead the experience.

My role is to facilitate it.

To hold space.

To ask thoughtful questions.

To trust your subconscious mind.

And to support you as you uncover the insights, understanding and healing that are ready to reveal themselves.

Because I believe the most powerful answers are often the ones that come from within. ✨

If you've been curious about exploring your soul's journey, gaining deeper insight, or experiencing Spiritual Hypnosis for yourself, I'd love to support you.

💫 Spiritual Hypnosis sessions are available to book now.

Our Women’s New Moon Circle returns … and this one feels like a deep exhale.

Sunday 13th September · Ivy & Lace, Carlton in Lindrick · £12

After the fire and the spotlight of July’s Leo Solar Eclipse, the Virgo New Moon arrives with a very different kind of invitation.
She is quieter, gentler and one of the most powerful moons of the year - because she asks us to do something many of us find harder than being bold or being seen.
She asks us to tend to ourselves. Properly. With the same care and devotion we give so freely to everyone else.
Tend to yourself the way you tend to everyone else.
That is the invitation of the Virgo New Moon.
She will also shine a gentle but honest light on the inner critic - that voice that is never quite satisfied, that measures and picks and finds us wanting. We’re going to look at that voice together, with kindness, and we’re going to choose a different one.

Together we will:
🌿 Sink into a deep, restorative hypnotic guided meditation
🏛️ Journey to a sacred healing temple and meet the healer within you
📖 Journal on powerful prompts around self-compassion, the body, and nourishing daily rituals
🍵 Share herbal tea, warm company and … obviously … Jaffa cakes 🧡

No experience needed. No pressure. Just you, exactly as you are, ready to be tended to for a change.
Spaces are limited so if something in you is saying yes, trust that feeling.

📅 Sunday 13th September
📍 Ivy & Lace, 98 High Road, Carlton in Lindrick S81 9EA
🎟️ £12 · https://pay.sumup.com/b2c/QZ9YWO53
