I didn’t put up a Happy Mother’s day post on Facebook yesterday because frankly I’ve been feeling like a pretty crappy mother at the moment. Being a mother is tough and kicks your arse at times. And these days, there’s so much guilt, shame and judgement that is poured onto mothers, which makes us feel…
If I asked you to name 10 things you DON’T love about your body or the way you look you could probably come up with them pretty quickly right? But what if I asked you to come up with just 3 things that you DO love about your body and the way you look it…
I’m in the process of writing a book proposal for the Hay House Writer’s Workshop competition which is due in a few weeks’ time. (I probably should be writing it now, but procrastination has set in!) My book is what they call a ‘teaching memoir’, and is based on the past two years of my…

Have you felt the need for change, but don’t know where to start? One of my new Reiki clients contacted me a few days after our session and said she felt the need to make some changes in her life, but wasn’t sure how to go about it. Often, our unconscious selves get the memo…
A little something from my journal writing … Soul mate. I’m not really sure what that means. Is it just my expression of love represented in another? Through the expression of another’s needs and love do I come to see myself? When I reject my soul mate am I rejecting myself? Do I throw anger…
