Journaling prompts for the April New Moon

Each new moon begins a new cycle but the Aries New Moon that births on 1st April also heralds in the start of a new astrological year. When I was a garden designer I used to plant by the moon and as a health coach I’ve been working with the moon since I started working with Ceremonial Cacao in 2020, an amazing plant medicine that the ancients also worked with. They would also have worked with moon energy using it to express the seasons, time and planting their crops by it. I’m pretty new to astrology, other than knowing my own birth sign etc, but I think it’s a fascinating field and one I’m

How to support Your own Growth

Are you wondering what the next part of 2020 entails and trying to work out how you care for yourself, your family, your career and what makes your heart sing? I spent 2021 working on self love and coming to terms with past hurts and how they had defined me and the choices I’d made. I realised that many women are the same and often put self care on the back burner while they take care of everyone elses’ needs. Sound familiar?

How to get ahead on the self love stakes

Valentine’s day falls today and is supposedly the day we celebrate our romantic relationships. Most of us would agree that being loved and being able to love is crucial to our happiness but today can be a real trigger for many especially if you’re not in a romantic relationship or have just come out of one. For me love of one’s self is especially key for happiness so whether you’re in a relationship, looking for one, or saying never again… February is the perfect time to focus on self-love instead of romantic love. Self-love means having a positive curiosity for your own well-being and

Nourish the women

I went through a phase when I was always saying ‘yes’ to things even those things I didn’t want to do, or knew I couldn’t fit in! It left me stressed, anxious and overwhelmed and yet I continued to say ‘yes’ feeling that I needed to please those around me and that saying NO would … well what would it do? I was worried it would make me appear less to them? But what it left me feeling about myself was overwhelmed, upset and dissatisfied. If you’re struggling with people pleasing, juggling too many things and finding it tough to combine what you love with how you want to live, I hear you. Grab my

What can I do post the COP26 Summit?

From a commitment to fostering more forests and preserving peat lands, cleaning up pollution in our inner cities and lowering land use stress, the COP26 Summit hosted in Glasgow this month has created a masterplan that governments around the world are signing up to. Climate talks dominated the last day of the summit, as you might expect of a climate change conference, but with leaders struggling to agree the final outcomes it was a day fraught with challenges.
