Have you learnt that personal development needs to be all about...
Heavy inner work
Facing our shadows
Fixing what’s broken
Following strict rules
Getting everything “right”
But what if you knew that the process is meant to be an experience to be enjoyed?
Real transformation is about remembering how to PLAY
About finding your wild laugh again
Letting your body move without judgment
Following joy instead of “should”
And discovering that freedom was within you all along.
Your soul needs permission to come alive. To dance. To play. To be messy and magical and perfectly imperfect.
This is what happens when we stop treating personal growth like a heavy school exam and start treating it like an adventure.
🌟 Ready to discover how light and joyful transformation can be?
I’m creating space for 5 women who are tired of making their journey feel like hard work.
Who are ready to find their authentic voice, their freedom, and their spark - without adding to their to-do list.
DM me “FREEDOM” if you’re ready to release the grip of perfectionism, and dance your way into your next chapter. it should feel like finally coming home to yourself, your true nature✨

So this was the day I’d been waiting for, forrrrr….maybe forever ☺️
Spending time with wild gorillas in the Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda. The trek was tough, and I felt a mixed bag of emotions before getting to the Sousa family.
But what a time, what an experience…and possibly the most chilled out family ever. We were only allowed an hour with them, and the illusion of time was never more evident. Time? What time? When you sit, and get immersed into their everyday world of simplicity, presence….and enoughness.
Without smart watches, when the hour was up, one of the silverbacks led the rest of the family into the undergrowth where they disappeared.
As I sat there, I realized how much time I’d spent striving for a perfection that didn’t exist. I’d built my life like a fortress, fine-tuned every detail, and hidden behind the walls of “not good enough.” But the gorillas taught me something I hadn’t let myself believe before: being seen – truly seen – has nothing to do with perfection. It’s about being real.
Watching them helped me begin to let go of the need to be polished and in control. The way they inhabit their space, unapologetically themselves, reminded me of how we’re all meant to be: natural, unfiltered, and alive.
We must give ourselves permission to embrace our voices, our presence, our humanity – not as something to perfect, but as something to celebrate

36 hours in Rwanda and I was already captivated.
A country where lush green hills roll endlessly into misty horizons and every corner reveals another breathtaking view.
The Genocide Museum was such a powerful reminder of how far this incredible nation has come.
@eagleviewlodge lived up to its name, with the warmest of welcomes, incredible team of staff and pets, and ginger tea!
I can’t wait to go back!
And this was just the beginning. Off to Akagera national park next for part two ❤️

What a start to 2025 with a bit of truth…
You are great.
Greatness is who you are, even if you’re not aware of it (because you’ve not learnt to be aware of it,) and so you base your worth on what you own, you do, your achievements etc.
anything outside of you…
But your core self, your highest self is greatness.
Imagine for a moment what you would do, how you would go about your day if you started from that place…of knowing, that whatever else is going on outside of you, that you are greatness at your very core.
This is not ego speak. And your unconscious mind will want you to not believe it by listing evidence to suggest that it’s not true.
How about starting the new year with saying that to yourself a few times every day. I AM GREAT. Notice how your thoughts and actions start to change.
If you want to dive deeper into your innate greatness, and let go of whatever is holding you back so you can really make this year the year that you unlock your truest potential then DM me and let’s talk.

Feeling the pressure as we build up to Christmas? If you’re struggling to relax, and get to sleep then here is a gift from me to help you prepare for a good night’s sleep.
Save and listen whenever you need it.
There’s also a free Christmas visualisation through my Stan store - just hit the link for a free download. Feel calmer, lighter, and ready to play and enjoy over Christmas without feeling overwhelmed.
It’s so important that you keep centred, grounded, and true to you during this time when there’s a lot of activity and a whole host of emotions depending on your situation.
Work from the inside out - from the core of who you are. Your true nature. The more you keep anchored in to your individual beingness, the less you will get pulled and swayed by what’s going on outside of you.

Do you find yourself automatically saying “I don’t like the sound of my voice”!?
Imagine listening to the beautiful sound of waves along the shore, or a powerful waterfall - well that sound that helps us feel calm or gets us into a meditative state, is not the water itself but it’s the energy that creates the sound.
And just like a river doesn’t apologize for its sound, your voice is a symphony of your inner landscape.
Ever catch yourself wincing at a recording? Stop. Listen deeper. Your voice isn’t just noise—it’s energy in motion.
The magic isn’t in perfection, but in authenticity. So next time you hear yourself, ask: “How’s my energy flowing today?”

As Tony Robbins says:
“The quality of your life is directly proportional to the quality of questions you are asking yourself.”
This quote brilliantly ties into Noah St. John’s concept of afformations and the power of “why” questions.
Noah St. John took this to the next level with afformations - a game-changing approach that flips traditional affirmations or positive statements on their head.
Two fundamental forces drive human behavior:
• THE WHY (your motive)
• THE HOW (your method)
Most people get stuck on HOW.
But WHY always trumps HOW.
Instead of declaring “I am successful”, ask:
“Why am I becoming more successful every day?”
Your brain is a problem-solving machine.
It’s WIRED to search for answers.
Questions bypass mental resistance.
And remember it’s not about answering the questions, but it’s about saying the question to train your brain into believing that it is happening now.
So give it a go and let me know how you get on. Some love affirmations and gets results, but if you don’t then try afformations instead!
I hold space for clients who only want to work on affirmations - I write bespoke affirmations and record them for you if you wish 😊DM to find out more.

Never underestimate the positive impact you can have on someone’s life 🤗
Sometimes, a single kind word is all it takes to change someone’s entire day... maybe even their trajectory. 🌟
That small moment of genuine appreciation, that unexpected compliment, that sincere ‘I see you’ can be like a spark of light in someone’s world.
We rarely know the weight our words carry – how a simple ‘you’re doing great’ or ‘I’m proud of you’ might be exactly what someone needs to keep going! ♥️

Do you think you’re doing something wrong if you can’t create complete space in your mind?
Allow me to share a beautiful analogy about the branches of a tree for a moment 🌳
Notice how they don’t fight for space? They naturally weave and flow, creating perfect gaps between each other. Your thoughts can do the same…co-existing with the space.
You don’t need to clear your mind completely. You just need to create little pockets of space - like those gaps between branches - where new, healthier thoughts can grow and flourish ✨with practise you’ll notice that the spaces get bigger 🥰
If your mind feels like an overgrown forest right now, that’s okay. Nature has a way of teaching us how to find balance, how to create space without eliminating what’s already there.
➡️ If you’re feeling overwhelmed by your thoughts and struggling to find those peaceful spaces, I’m here for a no-obligation chat. As a coach and hypnotherapist, I help people work with their minds, not against them.
🌿 Want to learn more about how we could work together? I’ve created a guide that shows you exactly how coaching can help you thrive. Find it in my Stan store [link in bio]
DM me “branches” for a friendly chat about creating space in your mind 🍃

Relaxation tip for you 🥰
Practicing peripheral vision helps you shift from tunnel vision to a more relaxed, expansive awareness, triggering your parasympathetic nervous system (responsible for rest and relaxation)
This simple practice allows your body to relax, your breath to slow, and your mind to feel calm.
By widening your gaze, you’re telling your nervous system it’s safe to rest and be present. Over time, it can build a more trusting relationship with your unconscious mind.
We only have to observe animals like deer, horses, and birds, who rely on peripheral vision for survival. Their ability to sense the environment beyond their immediate focus helps them stay alert, calm, and aware of potential threats without feeling overwhelmed.
Try it next time you’re feeling tense—pick a focus point, soften your gaze, and let the calm settle in.
