Want a chance to win £30 off a treatment with me?

If you got my last newsletter, you will have read about two women led businesses that I can’t do without: The Strong Girls Club and Write Nights.

Strong Girls Club is strength training led by Physio Carly Cowell. I’ve been going for a while and have not only gotten stronger, I’ve found a new confidence and trust in my body. The support from all the other women is incredible. When you succeed at something, everyone celebrates. Carly will make it challenging without being intimidating and she’ll get you laughing at the same time.

Write Nights is run by the always wonderful Jools Dryburgh. Join a cohort if you have something you want to write about or try a rise and write session. Every time I’ve joined, I’ve found words spilling out onto the page that I didn’t know I had inside me.

These two have formed part of my wellbeing for a while and maybe they can do the same for you. Attend a session with either before 31st October and I’ll enter you into a draw to win £30 off a treatment with me. The winner will be contacted on 3rd November.

This month inside The Grounded Gathering, we’re exploring Rest.

Not rest that you have to earn: just rest, as it is and however that looks for you. What would it feel like to stop, even briefly, without needing to justify it?

This month, we’re practising listening to the body.

Not pushing through.

Not overriding.

Not waiting until it breaks down to pay attention.

Just… listening, to gently reconnect.

The Grounded Gathering opens this theme gently in May — journal prompts, a live session and small moments to come back to yourself.

Always simple. Always at your own pace.

We would love you to join us

This month in The Grounded Gathering, we’re exploring creating space.

Not by doing more but by gently noticing where things feel rushed, full or tight.

Sometimes space doesn’t come from making big changes but instead, allowing a small pause.

Our live session takes place on 15th at 7pm. Replay available to members who can’t make it. Join us in a gentle practice designed to help us slow down and pause.

Over the years I’ve noticed something.

We know when we need to slow down. We know when our body is tired. We know when we need space.

But actually creating that space in everyday life is hard.

Life is full. Work is busy. There is always something else asking for attention.

So I created something simple.

The Grounded Gathering is a small monthly space to pause, reconnect with your body, and give your nervous system a little breathing room.

Nothing complicated. Just a gentle place you can return to.

If it feels like something you might need, you’re very welcome to join us.

What do you think about burnout?
Do you think it’s real? Do you think it’s work related? Here’s an interesting read from the guardian busting some myths (and for the record, yes I do think it’s real)

Prioritising yourself can not only feel emotionally sticky but also like another task to add on to the never ending to-do list. Something that you feel like you have to do or ‘should’ do but which, somehow, never makes it to the top of the list because there is so much else calling for your attention and you simply don’t have the time.

But what if we applied the 1% rule? That’s just 14 and a half minutes of your day. 14 and a half minutes to maybe stretch or step outside, pause with a favourite drink or read a few pages of a book

Not perfection, not pressure, just a few moments to prioritise you and your needs.

You can break it down into shorter moments throughout your day if you want. It doesn’t matter how you do it, just that you start to try giving yourself the same priority as everyone else. Because small acts of self-priority quietly reshape your life.

If you claimed 1% today, what would it look like?
Drop it below. Let’s inspire each other

As this year draws to a close, I just want to say thank you to all my clients for your continued trust and support. This year has been busier than ever and I am deeply grateful that you continue to come and make time for yourselves.

Wishing you all a very Happy Christmas
