Some of you might know this already, I’ve been practicing breathwork for a number of years and have recently qualified as a Vanta Breathwork facilitator. Breathwork is incredibly powerful and I wanted to share what came up for me today.

Ive been thinking about this a lot recently. I was in Bali again last week (how very grateful 🙏) and when I arrived there I had the feeling of ‘coming home’ it wasn’t something I could really explain. Yet it was something I’d experienced when I viewed our house recently, not in the bricks andContinue reading “Coming Home”

I have ran many 10km races,Continue reading “Wtf 🤔”

I’ve felt a shift this last few days, and it’s been very much needed, especially as I’ve spent about 6 months striving for peace and calm. Since coming back from Bali last year, where I found it, life became fast paced and crazy again. I likely just need to keep a close eye on lifeContinue reading “Peace & Calm”

Today we celebrated my Dad. Some people may think that weird as he is no longer here, he passed away 9 years ago, but still, a birthday worth celebrating. A man worth celebrating. He was pretty wonderful, I absolutely loved my Dad. The life he gave us, the memories, the family, the laughter and theContinue reading “Happy 70th birthday Daddy”
