How to create a Hunter Full Moon Ceremony this October 2021

This October I’m holding my Full Moon Cacao Ceremony and Meditation a day early, on Tuesday 19th , as I have managed to bag myself some long awaited tickets to see the west end show Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. I’ve literally been on the mailing list for tickets for years and post our last UK lockdown when the theatres announced they could open again, and tickets were available, I was right there It does mean I’ll be holding my cacao ceremony and meditation at the gorgeous Mill Birth and Wellbeing Centre in Duddington a day early, but that doesn’t mean it will be any less special. So

New Moon Journalling Prompts and Affirmations

As we clebrate the arrival of the New Moon in Sept it's a good time to set an intention to release and let go. A new moon happens once a month when the moon and the sun conjoin in the sky, setting off a new cycle of light. This new moon is initially invisible to us on Earth, then it slowly appears as a very thin crescent of light – it’s magical and speaks to us if we take a moment to stand and enjoy it presence. While the energy of a new moon lasts for about three days before and after the lunation, the moon is technically only new for a moment—when the sun and the moon are directly aligned in

Work with Ali online or in person

I have a number of coaching options and ways that we can work together. Online coaching When the world came to a stop in 2020 I didn’t! I was already set up to confidentially coach clients online and this has continued with zoom being my online platform of choice. I provide 1:1 cacao ceremonies on-line. I will direct you where to buy ceremonial cacao, in whatever country you are in, and send you instructions on how to make it. At our appointed call, we'll both meet via the power of technology - usually on zoom but we can use WhatsApp video call if you prefer. With your cacao in hand I will

How to create your own Self Care Sunday

We’re in the throws of a third lockdown and it feels never ending doesn’t it. People’s stress levels are off the scale and home schooling, the weather, inability to go to the beautician for a pamper session and lack of focus if you’re on furlough are certainly taking their toll. Yet this is Valentine’s week and we’re supposed to be celebrating the art of love! There’s no better way to share the love than taking care of yourself but where should you start. Here’s my top tips for creating a Self Care Sunday - prepping your skin, tanning your face and body and putting yourself first. Eat Right If

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

What cold showers do

I first heard about people taking cold showers or even fully immersing themselves in cold water when I was listening to a Tony Robbins Podcast. A couple of years ago when visiting Japan we fully immersed ourselves in their Onsen culture. These amazingly beautiful Japanese Hot Spring also have an element of cold about them with plunge baths and iced water on tap! Lately I’ve heard Chris Evans on Virgin Radio talking about the benefits of cold showering and whilst I’ve never been into anything cold – I don’t even really like ice-cream! I decided to give it a go. So here’s my video of me

Recipe for Natural Toilet Cleaning bombs

Over the last 6 years I’ve come to educate myself in the use of chemicals and harmful ingredients in my skincare, haircare, make-up and cleaning products. I’ve been buying eco cleaning products for years but have started to make my own too and, with not bad results, if I say so myself! Here’s my latest experiment Toilet Cleaning Bombs. Think bath bombs but for your loo. They’re designed to work over a couple of hours, or over night in my case, and restore your loo to a brilliant sparkle without the need for elbow grease or limescale removing type chemicals. They work on stains and limescale as

Creating the right impression at work - makeup dos and don’ts

Appearances matter. That’s not big news, we all know it and it’s especially true in the workplace. We all wheel out our favourite suit, and polish our shoes for an important meeting or presentation. It seems the smaller details matter too – like what makeup look your sporting. Yes this really can make or break your chances of success at work. And it gets down to the minutiae like no mascara, which could mean you’re prone to crying, or red lipstick which might imply you're power-mad and likely to steal your boss’s job! So here’s my guide to workplace makeup – the dos and don’ts. And assuming

What's holding you back from creating a healthy lifestyle?

I talk a lot about mindset and health and how the two are intrinsically linked. I believe courage plays a major role in whether you’ll be successful in creating lifestyle change and in sticking to it long term. So how do courage, lifestyle change and weight loss come together? Firstly I believe you have to have the courage to adjust your priorities . So often we put all those around us first, eating poorly or missing out on exercise so we can fit things in for our families. How often have you downed a coffee in lieu of breakfast but made sure the kids eat before leaving for school, or skipped
