Heart opening Full Moon release
Love is in the air as the Leo Full Moon lights the sky. This Leo full moon is asking you to open your heart and move towards your purpose and destiny and pulls together all the work you have been doing, or not doing, since the start of the year. When the moon appears as a full circle in the sky it I because the whole of the side of the moon facing the earth is lit by the sun’s rays. This is in effect fully illuminating you and your true purpose too. It is illuminating the path forward and showing you how you are being called to shine your own unique light into the world. This full moon in Leo

Setting your intentions for release in Jan 2022
I can hardly believe we are already witnessing a full moon at the start of 2022. The year is already running away with us and so many of us are yet to set intentions for the year or are still holding onto past beliefs, hurts or limited thinking that is really not helpful in a year that is resonating with love. It’s time to let go and release all that is no longer serving you and a full moon is a perfect time to align your energy and thinking and let go. The Full Moon in January 2022 is a Wolf Moon and gets its name from the ancients who would have heard packs of wolves howling at this time of

The Power Of Touch
The power of touch is underrated. Here's why. It’s not a gimmick, and now more than ever seems so important. What am I talking about? Hugs of course. Many studies have demonstrated that human touch has incredible qualities to calm the nervous system, decrease the heart rate, lower the respiratory rate and steady the mind. It is even thought to improve our immune function as well as induce the release of important neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine. Hugging also helps to develop closeness, trust, and to foster a sense of mutual understanding and caring. And the actual act of

How to eat during exams
When it comes to exam stress and nutrition you can be treading on very uneven ground. I’d love to say that as a health coach I practice what I preach but with a teenager in the house, it’s not always the case. We went through GCSE’s a couple of years ago and are about to hit the A level mocks so I fully understand the pressure on parents. It’s so easy to reach for the easy option and allow them unchecked time on social media and unhealthy food to fuel their moods but we all know that in the long run this won’t be a good payoff. Exams can be a stressful time for the whole family. As parents we

Are you building your dream or someone else's?
You’re either working to build your own dream, or you’re being paid by someone else to build their dream. I don’t remember who originally pointed this out to me, but it really struck a chord with me. At the time I was building my own Interiors and Garden Design business and I thought I was sorted. I’d left the confines of the corporate world and was building my own dream. But I was also lonely. Working for myself and all by myself. Yes I had a team of freelancers I could call on to support me in implementing a project, decorating, building, joinery work etc but at the end of the day I was

Choosing Safe Baby Skincare Products
Parents need and want baby care products they can trust for their baby but they also want products that provide the moisture, cleansing and protection necessary to support gentle fragile skin. The market is saturated with products so where do they start? As a new mum I was just as guilty as the next mum of believing the marketing spin of big companies out to capitalise on this growing sector. I bought into products that smelt of my child hood and advertising that promised the earth. Little did I know I was buying cheap chemical laden products bulked up with cheap fillers to make them look like

Planning an Italian Adventure?
I love travelling. For me travel is an experience which creates wealth in my life. I’ve brought Miss H up to understand that you can buy things, you most likely love them when you first get them, but they won’t be what you remember in years to come. I can count the childhood memories of shopping with my parents on one hand, but the fun times we experienced together on family holidays are endless and it’s these memories that make up a life in my opinion. Good travel experiences are not necessarily about being in the swankiest hotels or eating at a Michelin starred restaurant, nice as these
