SEVEN 7️⃣! 7 years of being in business. I don’t know what to say other than thank you. I’m in a bit of disbelief that it’s been this long - I can’t quite wrap my head around it today. I’ve been so lucky to have sat in rooms and online with so many of you, listening to your big, beautiful hearts. You guys renew my faith in the world every single day. Here’s to you. 🥂

Let love in, you beautiful thing.

I was talking with a client today in her session (it’s been a while since I last saw her) and through our conversation something started become clear.

Everything that was she was worried would happen hadn’t. The fears that the challenges were bringing up didn’t end up eventuating.

It’s not to say that life hasn’t brought her tough seasons and moments but it’s such a good reminder to let love in to our day to day too.

Love, beautiful love. Waiting for us, always. 💗

A little 🎭 for Gemini season ✨

Do you have another part of your personality that doesn’t get as much airtime?

In Gestalt Therapy, there is a framework that explores the Top Dog and Under Dog parts of ourselves. The Top Dog is the part that tells us what we should do, how we should be, and what is expected of us. The Under Dog is the part that resists, rebels, or longs for something different.

The Top Dog part of my personality presents as strong, capable, and responsible. But I also have an Under Dog. She doesn’t get as much airtime and usually has to crumble or become unwell to be heard.

My Top Dog is a more demanding part of me. It often feels like I need to be a lot of different things to a lot of different people while my Under Dog feels powerless and resentful in the face of these demands, and longs to be carefree and unburdened. She wants to happily float from moment to moment without placing so much pressure on herself.

The work is helping these parts talk to one another and understanding what each one needs. One of the cool discoveries clients often make through this process is that the parts usually want similar things. Despite the inner fighting, they are not in fact enemies. They are part of the same whole and are often more on the same side than they realise.

So today, I thought I’d share a picture of the me that my underdog is often fighting for - the free spirited child of nature who feels most alive when she is free ✨

What are your Top Dog and Under Dog parts?

And if you feel intrigued to explore your own inner dynamics, I would love to work with you.

Some pointers ~

Identify what triggers instability in your life (habits like people pleasing, over functioning, over giving or reckless behaviours) and reconnect with your values. What is meaningful to you? How do you want to show up in the world? What would that look like? Acknowledge where you are at, and engage in inner work with yourself so that when the inevitable storms arrive - even though the winds will blow and push - the foundation you have built will keep you upright. 🌳🤍

Saying goodbye to the last week of Autumn (fall) here in NZ. I love this season for its crisp blue skies, gentle sunlight, and beautiful leaves. 🍁 Not to mention all of the incredible produce & flowers that seem to make their way into our house gifted by friends and family - Persimmons, guavas, mandarins, and more. 🕯️🍇🍊

As we approach our winter season, it’s a time in nature to turn inward, conserving energy for our bloom later in the year, and focus more on rest and restoration. There’s still so much happening but it’s occurring under the surface below what we can see.

Harnessing the energy of winter can look like: journalling, baths, fireside rests and chats, group workshops, having cosy nights in, gentle walks, cuddles, visiting the wintery sea, having cups of tea in bed and hosting candlelit dinner parties with friends 🪵🍵🔥🌊

There’s something special about every season we move through.

What is your favourite part about winter?

I haven’t been showing up as much on the gram of late. It’s a mixture of feeling a lack of inspiration in this space, as well as a season of feeling more internal than external. But like all seasons, they turn, and things change. I’m making a bit more of an effort to share more on here, and hey… lets see how long it lasts 😉

For now, here’s a little reintroduction of sorts on me - your bath loving, book reading, tea drinking therapeutic coach, happily living life in the slow lane. 🌾🍃🦥
