Another one to one boxing fitness session smashed today at PROJECT MAYHEM MMA

I love helping people to feel better about themselves, mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually, it’s what drives me.

I don’t just offer boxing for fitness, I offer personal and spiritual development too, face to face or online. I help people to build their confidence, connect with their inner self, remove the masks they wear, break the unhelpful patterns in their life and work through their trauma release process through breathwork, hypnotherapy, coaching and shamanic healing.

So for a limited time only, I’m offering a first free session for boxing for fitness, after that I’m £25 per session or £20 if you block book more than 6 sessions.

If you fancy some of the personal development and healing stuff I offer, get in touch I offer an initial free 15 minute discovery call.

Hope you all have a great weekend ❤️

Great session at our drop in today .
Started the session very differently with breathing techniques and relaxation hosted by Corrina Turner .
Then practices and performances from our students .
Just a reminder to all . No session next week we will be back the following.🎧🙂👌

I’m going to be offering two online breathwork sessions for free as part of my training that I am currently doing.

These will be group sessions via zoom. If this interests you let me know and we can have a chat.

There are so many benefits that come from practicing breathwork, I’ve personally experienced many benefits from practicing it, it has certainly helped me to become more present in everyday life and it has massively increased my conscious awareness to my own internal stuff that goes on, which is always good as it opens the doors to expansion and growth. To be honest it’s done so much for me already that I could write pages on it.

Message me if you’re keen.

I’m going to be starting a monthly face to face group soon in Stoke Canon, Exeter!

These groups are for anyone whose goal is real self love, growth and connection. We’ll be exploring some practices and tools that can benefit your wellbeing and deepen your connection to yourself and others. This is a space where you can learn and practice personal and spiritual development in a safe, sensible and grounded manner.

If you are interested or know anyone who is feel free to message me privately. these will be starting in May 2023 ❤️

Ok so the time has come where I am looking to work with a few people for my breath work course where I’m training to be a breathwork facilitator. Obviously I am still in training so you will be one of my case studies.

So if you’d like to learn more about the power of the breath, experience it or know someone who’s interested then send me a message. These sessions will be completely free of charge and we can do them online or in person. ❤️

This has been a long time coming and tomorrow I start my Breathwork Facilitator Training and I can’t bloody wait.

One of the main reasons I chose breathwork as another practice to integrate along with my other therapies and practices is because of how it can support people in the trauma release process.

Over the next 7 months I’ll be embarking on a journey that will take me deep into myself where I’ll likely be triggered, tested and challenged to work with the unintegrated parts of myself bringing about change, healing and transformation.

At some point I’ll be seeking out people to work with as case studies for my training and at the end of the training when I’m certified I can’t wait to be able to offer this practice out into the world so that others can journey inwards to the self and discover whatever it is that they require for their own personal growth and feel the power and benefits of the breath.

Autumn vibes 🍁🍃🍂

Does all this positive mindset/living and spiritual growth stuff interest you?

Is it your time to work on you and start your journey of self-development, spiritual growth and healing?

I can help you with that.....................................................

Did you know I offer one to one sessions? (Online and in person)

In these sessions we will work on things such as your insecurities, mindset, self-belief and past programming. We will look at and work through the patterns, behaviours and beliefs that have shaped your life and we will explore and work deeply with your inner wounded child as well as your other energetic archetypes.

I can teach you tools, practices and techniques that you can blend into your daily life and I will work with you in a way that suits the individual need of you, integrating practices such as Hypnosis, EFT, Coaching, Shamanism, Meditation, Positive Psychology and aspects of Spirituality.

From these sessions you can expect to develop and grow your conscious awareness, learn to connect with your intuition on a deeper level, learn to build more trust into your life, start to become aware of and work through the things that trigger you, learn to embody self-acceptance and love and start your journey of healing and living a life that is meaningful for you.

Like with any work that focuses on developing the self, it will require you to actually want it and be prepared and willing to make changes, be honest with you and me, have a willingness to learn and do the work on you in between sessions.

I offer packages for 12 months, 6 months and one offs.

Message me if this is something that interests you and let's see how we can work together.

RELAXING THE MIND

Years ago when I did my Hypnotherapy training I started to understand the power of relaxation and by that I mean relaxing and unwinding the mind. Back then my mind was in a constant busy state and had been for many years. My stress levels were high, I was always anxious and suffered from regular panic attacks. Eventually this led to my body physically reacting and I suffered from large painful cysts all over my body that at times prevented me from walking and forced me to stop going about my usual day to day routine. I took multiple trips to the GP, who prescribed me lots of antibiotics and eventually they stopped working as I started to become immune to them.

I remember trying to sit and do meditations or self-hypnosis CD’s that were 20-30 minutes long, but my mind was so busy that I found it almost impossible to switch off from the constant noise. If I’m honest, in the very beginning this experience put me right off meditation and I avoided it all costs.

I then learnt about belly breathing also known as diaphragmatic breathing, a simple and effective technique. I started to practice this simple technique, in little bursts throughout the day. One to two minutes at a time and gradually over a month or so I began to build it up to around 4-5 minutes. The belly breathing progressively started to help me feel more relaxed and eventually it had trained my mind enough to be able to do the meditations. Of course my mind still wandered at times, but I was much more aware and able to bring my focus back to the meditation without feeling frustrated or like a failure. I have learnt that by being able to spot your thoughts wondering off and then bringing your focus back is a really good first step in becoming more mindful and shows that things are moving in the right direction in terms of relaxing and retraining the brain.

After practicing belly breathing for some time I started to notice that I was breathing differently in my everyday life, and by that I mean I had retrained my breathing. Instead of breathing from the place of the chest I was starting to automatically breathe from my belly. Belly breathing is known to promote relaxation, so this meant that I was starting to live my life from a much more calm and relaxed place. This allowed me to open myself up to so much more in terms of my personal development and belly breathing/relaxing the mind is usually one of the first things I will explore with people who have a busy mind and are living with anxiety.

For me learning and practicing belly breathing became the gateway into the world of relaxation, and by doing that I was able to start healing and breaking the unhelpful patterns that I had learnt in my earlier years. In Hypnotherapy we aim to communicate with the subconscious mind to bring about healing and positive change, in order to access the subconscious mind to bring about that change, we must first relax. Belly breathing is such a good first step in learning to relax and it also trained me to able to do meditations and actually enjoy them, it taught me to stop, pause and give myself permission and time to relax and I am happy to say that I have not suffered with cysts in years, it has and continues to benefit my life.

There are so many other ways in which we can relax and I’d love to hear what kind of things you do.

Also if you would like a free 5 minute belly breathing exercise for you to use at home, email me at [email protected] and I'll send you a recording that I created.

Break The Patterns That Need Not Last

Break The Patterns That Need Not Last I learnt to keep myself quiet and small, while others shone and grew very tall

PAST LIVES.........

Past Life Regression therapy using Hypnosis is something that I trained in many years ago. For me the main purpose for exploring past lives with clients is to help them bring about some form of resolution/healing to a situation that they are facing in this present reality or to bring about healing/understanding/resolution to a situation that is most needed at this point in the present life.

I now also use Shamanism/Shamanic Journeying as another way to access previous incarnations and again for the purpose to bring about healing, balance and/or resolution to a problem that a person is living with and that there is no evidence for in this present life.

Of course there have been times when clients and I have explored past lives for information purposes only and most of the time that those lives have been explored it has brought about some form of deeper understanding to their present life and delivered some clarity and meaning to some of the beliefs or emotional/psychological related issues that they may be experiencing.

Past life healing/ exploration can help us to bring about balance in our lives in a number of ways such as:

- Reconnecting us with our past life experiences

- Help us to understand why we feel a deep connection to certain places

- Help us to understand why we develop a deep emotional connection to certain people and to those we may have only know me for a short amount of time

- They can help us to become aware of certain soul lessons that we have maybe not learnt in a previous life and have come to this life to complete

- They can shine a light on and help us to develop a greater understanding to some of the soul contracts we may have made

- Help us to become aware of any karma that we may have carried over into this life and guide us on how we can work towards clearing that

- Help us to understand and work through some of the emotional/psychological related issues that we face in this life and to any fears/traumas/phobias where there is no evidence for their presence in this life

- Bring about healing on a soul level and help us to move forward and let go of un helpful situations in this life

There are many other ways in which past life can help us and I am always fascinated with the information and resemblance to this life that clients talk about.

Past life is something that I have been passionate about for years, and I am a great believer that the work we do with our past lives is personal to us, they are for us to explore. It is certainly not about stepping into the drama of past life and bringing other people in this present life into that drama. It requires a sensible and responsible approach and if it is explored with integrity, humility and self responsibility it can bring about some beautiful healing and connect us further to the depth of our soul.

I am running a one day workshop on Past Lives, Soul lessons and Soul Contracts later this year in November in the Stamford area. I also offer one to one sessions.

So if this is something that has always intrigued you, or if you already have some knowledge and would like to explore further then please do get in touch. 💖🙏

Being Grounded in a World that can Feel Overwhelming

Being grounded is something that has become a really important part of my life, I used to live my life from a very ungrounded place and was ruled by the busyness and chaotic sounds in my mind. I was always tired, anxious, drained, on edge and at times could be swept away by delusions and get lost in fear based stories created in my mind that would never happen. I was addicted to the news and would often become absorbed in the negative stories that were pumped out. I lived a life that was busy, chaotic and unhealthy and I always told myself that I had no time to do anything for me.

Thankfully I am much more grounded person now than what I have ever been and of course that has come from years of practicing personal and spiritual development, so now as a much more grounded person I am able to see and experience the positive ways in which being more grounded benefits my life. For example I have more clarity and free space in my mind so I am able to make better decisions, I don’t get caught up in others peoples drama and gossip, I can catch myself if I am triggered, work with that trigger and not allow myself to believe the trigger is real, I am more peaceful inside and am able to support and help people by being able to actually hear them oppose to reacting or responding for the sake of it. There are many other ways in which being grounded helps me, but these are the ones that are standing out for now.

Being grounded is something that I practice on a daily basis, if I start to become ungrounded I can often spot the signs quite quickly now and there are a few things that I have learnt to do that can help me to come back into a better space that I shared.

If you need some help in finding your feet and becoming more grounded then why not book a 15 minute discovery call with me to see how I could help.

Oh hello Waterstones 😊 and suddenly the world stopped and I got lost in time.

I’ve nearly finished Gelnnon Doyle’s book, Stop Pleasing Start Living and decided to take a wonder around Waterstones earlier to look for a new one. There was so many to choose from but I liked the look of Ant Middletons book - Mental Fitness.

What are some of the best spiritual, self development books you’ve read?

Hit me with your recommendations

Just got back from an amazing Shamanic weekend, it was transformational, energising and just beautiful.

I met some new incredible people, walked on 🔥, broke a board with my bare hand, laughed lots, cried with gratitude, connected with tribe, spirit and nature whilst looking within and calling myself out on my own bull s**t (with lots of love and support) so that I can continue to grow and walk forward with balance, truth and gratitude. The help, love and support I’ve received this weekend is beyond words.

For me working on and committing to myself is so, so important, and that means making the time, showing up and doing the work.

Why?

So that I can be the best I can be for the people I help and support, so that I am not just talking my talk but also walking my walk, so that I can be the best mum I can be for my daughter and so that I can be the best version of me - for me and all of those around me.

I hope you are all enjoying the weather and that you are well and happy 💖

So yesterday I got my orange belt in kickboxing, Lilly also got her yellow belt, she gets her certificate and belt in a weeks time. Totally forgot to get a picture of us both yesterday, so here’s one of us chilling after instead.

I’ve been going for just under a year now and I’m loving it. Definitely helps to keeps me in balance and gives me something positive to work towards.

I’m a long way from a black belt still, but it’s a goal of mine I aim to achieve. If there is something you want to do never let age get in your way, you’re never to old to start something new.

Being True To You

Being true to myself was something that I always used to struggle with, I used to hold many unhelpful beliefs about myself which fed into me not being true to me, such as:

👉I am not enough
👉No one will ever love me
👉If I agree with them they will like me
👉If I tell them what I feel I’ll be left out
👉No one likes me

The problem with this was I ended up becoming a shadow of myself, always felt unhappy inside, never felt in my power and felt that I always needed the validation of others in order to feel secure in myself.

All I can say is:
🔥Thank f**k I started the journey to work on me

🔥Thank f**k I dedicated money and time on the inner me

🔥Thank f**k I committed to myself

🔥Thank f**k I made changes in my life that at the time felt so hard

🔥Thank f**k I am now true to me

Be true to you always even if people don’t like it. You have the right to be you, to put boundaries in place, to say no, to speak up, to walk away.

IT STARTS WITH YOU!

I see so many people stuck in certain states, wether that is anger, blame, fear, procrastination, complaining and moaning that life isn’t fair, that life is so hard, that life is so stressful and so on….

The thing is, if we’re not willing to make positive changes in our lives like stepping out of our comfort zones, getting up that bit earlier, trying something new, getting help, putting clean and healthy boundaries in place, committing to change, being disciplined etc then nothing will change and we’ll be stuck in unhealthy states.

If you want change in your life then YOU need to be that change, it may seem scary at first, but once you start to make those positive changes things start to improve, they don’t have to be massive but we do need to be really honest with ourselves at the same time.

This week I found myself having to make some changes in order to manage my time better. I like to work on my energy body and do things such as breath work and meditation, so the new change I’ve made is getting up 40 mins earlier to set myself up for the day and so far I have absolutely no regrets, I feel better, I have more energy and I feel in a much more positive state throughout the day.

What changes do you need to make in order to better your quality of life?

Looking after body,mind and soul!

Just come back from my morning kickboxing class today, it was a tough class but I’m feeling good and all the endorphins are kicking in.

Looking after myself and staying well includes me doing a number of things, such as my spiritual practice which feeds my soul, positive psychology practices which keeps my mindset in check and exercising which helps my physical body too. To be honest I believe all of the above that I do work hand in hand together and benefit the entirety of me as I’m working on the whole of me rather than just a part of me.

I’ve realised as I’ve got a bit older that I need to work on all aspects of me, mind, body and soul in order to have a good quality of life and live with balance.

Exercising has always been something that I’ve dipped in and out of, started something then sacked it off. But a year ago I went back to Martial Arts and I absolutely love it, there’s been no dipping in and out and I’ve managed to stay consistent with it.

Why? Because I bloody enjoy it, all the other stuff I did before I never really enjoyed, I found the gym boring and road running felt like torture.

For me the key to sticking at those things that benefit my mind, body and Soul and my overall quality of life has been doing things that I ENJOY doing.

I love my spiritual practice which is Shamanism, I love doing positive psychology practices such as gratitude exercises and journalling and I love going to kickboxing and Muay Thai.

Do what you enjoy, find the things that feed your soul and love you.

LIVE, LOVE AND BE HAPPY!

The amount of time I used to spend giving a s**t about what people thought of me and holding myself back because of that, valuing the opinion of others over my own, not listening to me etc….

As I’ve got older and I’d like to think a bit wiser, I’ve realised that I’m here on Earth as me once, and that my soul path and quality of life is so much more important than worrying about what people MAY think of me and that me, my souls purpose and the things I am passionate about deserve my time and energy over any of that crap.

If there is anything I could have told the younger me, this would be it 👆👇

And it’s what I continue to tell myself when life throws a curve ball and things get challenging.

Live your life in your way, do what makes you happy, listen to you, learn your lessons and have fun!

The self development journey is just that a journey, we are constantly learning, growing and evolving.

Sometimes we can put pressure on ourselves to be the perfect person, to have all our s**t together and to go through life making no mistakes.

My mistakes have brought me some of the greatest lessons, some of the most painful things I have gone through have gifted me with the deepest growth and awareness.

Life is always going to have its challenges, how we respond and grow from those challenges is what matters.

Be patient with yourself, be kind to yourself, love you! And keep on going on. 💖

Allowing our emotions to flow can feel like a really scary and vulnerable thing to do if we have not been raised to do so or we have had to always put on that brave front for whatever reason.

Years ago when my life felt like it was collapsing around me after the breakdown of my relationship and businesses, I remember going to a spiritual circle and just breaking down in tears in front of the room, luckily for me they were a great bunch of people.

It was in the room that evening that I learnt it was ok to cry and allow our emotions to flow, that it was actually better than ok to cry and that it was a form healing and releasing.

Over the years this knowledge has helped me tremendously, because as we know life on earth can be a challenging place that can present us with adversities, changes, heartbreak and challenges along the way.

So being in a space to allow my emotions to flow and process things naturally when they arise, instead of squashing them away and allowing them to manifest into something really unhelpful has been a really helpful behaviour to learn.

I've added the full poem of this in the comments if you want to read it ☺️

Small dog, big personality 💖

This is a poem I wrote a while back, one thing I always struggled with was being fully me, and the past me was a proper people pleaser too. I'm happy to say things have moved on since then. I hope you enjoy :)

Be Real Be You

You know it’s hard to be you
In a world that teaches us not to
It can be hard to be you
After what some have put you through

They say love yourself
It’s very good for your health
They say just be you
It’s what you were born to do

But it’s not always that simple and plain
When you carry a world full of pain
And doesn’t always come easy and true
When you’ve never been taught how to

I remember being told ‘Just Be You’
Inside I screamed ‘I don’t know how to’
You see after so many years of feeling shame
It wasn’t that easy to just release the pain

But I realised one thing I could do
Was find some help, that could help me to
Reach deep into my heart and soul
And help me climb back out from my hole

Another thing I have learnt from it all
Was I didn’t need to always be cool
That by speaking what I felt inside
Helped me step up and learn not to hide

And one by one
The layers came undone
When I started to listen to me
I allowed my spirit to be free

But this didn’t happen overnight
And didn’t always feel love and light
At times the journey felt very raw
And left me feeling quite sore

On my journey of learning to be me
Each step I took set me more free
It never compared to the beginning
When it never felt like I was winning

It was the best journey I ever took
And helped me to release all of those hooks
Each day I learnt to smile more
Believe in me and feel sure

No longer will I hide who I am
Because I’ve learnt to not give a damn
What others may think
I let go with a blink

The same for you could be true
If you choose to listen to you
Start the journey to the centre of your heart
And unleash your authentic art

No life needn’t always be this way
Because we can change the way that we play
Discovering who you are can take you far
And feels better than any new car

You were put on this earth to be you
Believe me I know this is true
Remember to always keep it real
Learn to listen and speak how you feel

Share your authentic art
Straight from your heart
let you shine through
Be Real Be You
