Hindsight is always so illuminating, isn't it? We look back and think, wow, if I only I’d known then what I know now... One thing I’ve learned more than once - and see others learn quite often too - is how important our internal ‘nudges’ or taps on the shoulder are. They can come from various parts of ourselves, and when we don't listen, ... [Read On]
Your own Becoming – the Ultimate Spiritual Journey
The weeks seem to fly by so fast right now and it's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of daily life. I think we’re all still busy being busy; running around chasing our never-ending to-do lists, and sometimes feeling a tad disconnected from ourselves and our deeper purpose. So, imagine what it would be like to step into a space where ... [Read On]
The Joys and Dynamics of being more Connected (within yourself)
Lately, I've been chatting with a few clients about a dynamic that tends to crop up once you start effectively managing your energy field. You begin to notice the subtle differences in how you feel - especially when you’re slightly off balance versus when you’re in complete harmony with yourself. It gets WAY more noticeable when you're operating ... [Read On]
Done is Better than Perfect
Now, I know this idea isn’t exactly hot off the press. You’re busy, living a full life, probably juggling a million things at once. Let’s be real, you’ve probably learned to kick perfectionism to the curb a while ago. This ain’t your first rodeo. But yesterday, I got a solid reminder that "done" is always better than "perfect" - because ... [Read On]
It’s mid-year. What the heck’s happened to my resolutions?!
If you’re like most humans, you start the year with the best of intentions, and even start off quite well; taking action towards your goals or practising the new work-life balance you want. And it probably went quite well, until March at least (which is when, for many people, one wheel starts to wobble slightly), or until June-ish when winter kicks ... [Read On]
A map for our personal growth journey
The last 17 years of coaching and healing have had me working across a range of areas from workplace stress and leadership, to phobias to trauma and many things in-between. Helping people to escape the stress cycle and build resilience has been a big theme, I guess because we live in an era of stress. Interestingly though, as time has gone on, many ... [Read On]
Summer Book Reviews – Sacred Rest by Dr Saundra Dalton-Smith
Sacred Rest By Dr Saundra Dalton-Smith It was during an online conference on sleep that I first encountered Dr Saundra Dalton-Smith’s work and her book, Sacred Rest. It came as an enlightening surprise to when she illuminated the importance of seven types of rest – of which sleep and the physical act of resting is just one. It piqued my ... [Read On]
Hope is always there, even when it feels lost
I’ve lost hope before. When I’ve been ill. Alone. Broke. Sad. Angry. Grieving. I realised recently that as I made my way through those times and came out the other side, even though I may have given up hope at times, it was still there. It's really not easy to see when you're in the thick of it. Maybe you've given up. Perhaps you're in ... [Read On]
Are you being compassionate enough with yourself right now?
Wow, it’s hard to believe we’re already halfway through the penultimate month of the year. And what a situation we find ourselves in. I’m feeling very aware of the multiple stressors that people are facing right now, and that they are not only many but also varied, especially for those in lockdown areas or those being severely affected by mandates ...

These ain’t normal times, peeps (watch out for subliminal stress)
This week, one of the coach directories I belong to, Get Coached, posted a poignant message:You are not ‘working from home’. You are at home, during a crisis, trying to work.While I’m not a fan of dramatic words like ‘crisis’, it’s hard to argue with it right now.We all have a lot on our minds. There’s a lot going on, a fair amount of uncertainty ... [Read On]
