It’s amazing that women and men are now beginning to talk about the perimenopause
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For too long it’s been swept under the carpet, ignored or worse, made fun of.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The perimenopause is like the rebellious younger sister of the menopause.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It is a stage in a women’s life where you are still having periods, but you may start noticing they are becoming irregular and other symptoms start appearing. This can start as early as 35.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The menopause is only one day and marks the one-year anniversary since your last period. The average age is 51.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, what are some of the symptoms of the perimenopause?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Irregular cycles and changes to menstrual flow
• Depression and anxiety
• Rage
• Joint and muscle pain
• Brain fog
• Poor memory and concentration
• Vaginal dryness and painful s*x
• Insomnia
• Night sweats or hot flushes
• Low bone density
• Panic attacks
• Headaches and migraines
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The list is endless! And it is estimated that 13 million women in the UK are either perimenopausal or postmenopausal.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms and are in your late 30s onwards, you could well be in the perimenopause.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The first port of call should be your GP. But the menopause is more than just about oestrogen and there is a lot you can do naturally to support yourself through this stage.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you make simple changes to your diet and lifestyle, so that you balance your blood sugar, support your digestion and reduce stress levels in your life, amazing things start to happen.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You go from feeling exhausted, foggy and irritable to feeling calmer, more energised and more confident in yourself again.

If, like me, you like a glass of wine or two but are aware that drinking too much can be harmful for your health, how do you find a happy medium?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have had times in my life where I haven’t drunk at all (before and during my two pregnancies and also during a prolonged 10-month break in 2021) and I have times in my life where I found myself drinking more than I should (during 2020).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Neither is a happy place for me.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I enjoy having a glass or two of good quality wine at the weekend and the marking of a different time of the week.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But I do not enjoy the disrupted sleep, irritability, sugar cravings, weight gain and tiredness that comes with drinking too much.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let’s be honest, it is easy for one glass to turn into a bottle and before you know it you're drinking well over the recommended 14 units of alcohol for both women and men a week.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I would advise keeping it to below 10 units a week.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, how can you still enjoy a drink but keep it in hand? Here are my top tips:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍷 Get real and track how much you are drinking. The app is a useful tool for this.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍷Plan to have some alcohol-free days. I have at least 4 a week.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍷 Buy yourself a special small wine glass. This is absolutely key to keeping on top of how much you are drinking at home. I have one that is 140mls, so it is a good size for a small 125mls glass of wine.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍷Learn to savour each mouthful and slow down.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I often have a couple of small glasses on a Friday and Saturday night and then possibly the odd glass on a Sunday. I don’t drink Monday to Thursday.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is just over 8 units a week. It may not be for everyone, but for me feels like a happy medium and realistic in the longterm.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What are your strategies to keep your alcohol intake in hand? I'd love to hear x

For two years after I had my second daughter, I thought I was going mad.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was a mum to a toddler in my mid-40s and I was supposed to be tired, right?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But this was different
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was so forgetful
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It wasn’t just things like where my keys were or forgetting friends’ birthdays or what I had walked into a room for
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was more that it didn’t even cross my mind to remember things. Almost as though parts of my brain were missing
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On many occasions I worried that this might be the beginning of early onset dementia.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What I realise now is that I had brain fog, which is a common symptom of the peri-menopause
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At the time it didn’t cross my mind that I might be peri-menopausal. Wasn’t the menopause something that happened in your 50s and was all about hot flushes, insomnia and night sweats?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Brain fog is a common symptom caused by declining oestrogen and testosterone levels. Add in increased levels of the stress hormone cortisol, which also has a negative effect on memory and brain function and you get a perfect storm in your mid-40s.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, what did I do about it? I tweaked my diet, added in more rest and took the right supplements to help support my memory and brain function.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And now, my brain fog has lifted. I feel clearer, less anxious about it and more myself again.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For many women HRT may also be a good option and the first port of call is to go and talk to your GP. But there is a lot you can do alongside this to support the peri-menopause.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am excited to be running a new small group programme called the Perimenopause Reset starting on Thursday 9th June.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is for you if you would like support to have more mental clarity, energy and confidence.

There is so much in the news at the moment on the menopause thanks to

Finally, this important area of health is getting airtime

Women’s midlife hormones are no longer the butt of jokes

And people are now understanding that the symptoms of brain fog, anxiety and loss of confidence are real and distressing for millions of women.

This is an area I am passionate about

Supporting women to rebalance their midlife hormones

Teaching them to make simple tweaks to their nutrition

Guiding them on how to look after themselves better

Helping to bring themselves back to life

When they begin to prioritise themselves for the first time in years

The changes can be extraordinary

Take my client who went from feeling overwhelmed, anxious and that she couldn’t cope to feeling on top of things, more relaxed and more present with her family.

Or my client who went from feeling worn-out and unimportant to feeling that she was nourishing herself for the first time in years, feeling more connected to the joy in her life and enjoying time being active with her family.

Or my client who went from feeling anxious and that she was no longer herself and a passive spectator in her life to feeling calmer, happier and more energised to live her life fully.

It is easier than you think to feel better, calmer and more yourself again.

You don’t need to spend hours each day to reconnect to yourself
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To feel better in your life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A few minutes every morning can be all you need.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Time to focus on the internal voice that is calling you
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And tune into your inner wisdom.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It is easy to find a million reasons to neglect this part of you and say you are too busy
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But this often leads to resentment, frustration and feeling stuck in your life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Instead, when you start the day with quiet space, you set the intention of how you want your day to unfold
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you start your day with gentle movement, you reconnect to your body
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you start your day with gratitude, you change how you feel about your life right now.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is how you get momentum going in your life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Starting the day nourishing your body and soul can be transformational.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It doesn’t need to take hours but committing to a few minutes every morning is all it takes to change your day from feeling rushed and stressed to spacious and expansive.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Open yourself up to possibility by coming home to yourself.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Reignite your dreams and what you are capable of.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Start with one week and see what unfolds for you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have put together a Morning Routine weekly chart to help you get started.

Taking small steps to return to yourself is how you find lasting happiness in your life
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You connect with a deep sense of joy
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You have more to give to the others in your life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The you who is at your core hasn’t disappeared

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Get quiet and listen to her
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
She knows what your heart's desires are.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A life that incorporates all the different parts of you

Being a mother doesn’t mean that you have to say goodbye to yourself.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This photo was taken in 2014 on my honeymoon in the Big Sur in California.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
An exciting time where life was full of possibility.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But somewhere along the way I lost connection with her.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I look at my former self now and hardly recognise her anymore.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What happened to the sense of possibility in my life?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What happened to my right to take up space in my own life?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Being a mother is wonderful and I wouldn’t change it for anything, but that doesn't mean that somewhere along the way I didn't lose part of my self.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Maybe it is losing the autonomy over my own time?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Maybe it is the often mundane routine of family life?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The sense of the everyday being completely overwhelming and completely underwhelming at the same time.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whatever it is, I have felt that something is missing.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is why I have started to turn inwards again
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And tune into my inner voice.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There is more to me than the roles I play in my life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am reconnecting to my inner self again
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And integrating her into my life now as a mother
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And I am happier than I have been in years.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You are allowed to be spacious in your own life
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You do not need to ask permission to shine brightly in your life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And if you are in any doubt, remember that when you thrive, there is a ripple effect and everyone in your life benefits.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you want to reconnect with your inner self again, join me for my next Full Moon Women’s Circle for a safe space to feel more spacious and shine more brightly in your life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

In order to grow, you have to get out of your own way
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It is easy to stay small
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To complain about being stuck
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To watch others moving forward and feel frustrated.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
True growth happens outside your comfort zone
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In that place inside of you that is calling
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don’t pretend you can’t hear
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don’t look back and regret you played it small
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Get quiet and listen
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Take inspired action
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Take the next right step to where you need to be.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Practise being uncomfortable
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is where true growth happens
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Remind yourself that in the discomfort, this is exactly where you are meant to be.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My spiritual life coaching doors are now open.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thrive is for you if you want to have space to reconnect with who you are

The inner part of you does not disappear when you become a mother
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There is a part of you that still holds your hopes and dreams
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They haven’t gone away
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But it is easy to ignore them.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Life can be busy
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are always a million reasons not to do the things that you used to love
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There is not enough time
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It is not convenient to ask others to help you with childcare
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It is not fair to take time away from other things.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But one good reason to reconnect to the things that bring you joy
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Remembering that you matter as well
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Honouring all the different parts of yourself
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The more you thrive, the greater the ripple effect
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The more you nourish yourself, the more you have to give to others.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You feel more present
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You have more energy
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You feel happier in your life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Get away from all or nothing thinking
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Start with something small and commit to daily action
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Even 5 minutes a day can help you reconnect to yourself
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Put yourself back in the centre of your life
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And watch what unfolds.

When you feel stressed, off balance or not good enough in your life
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Instead of looking for external solutions
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Root down to rise up.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Go inside to ground yourself
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Go inside to nourish yourself
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Go inside to listen to the answers that are already there.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Life can be exhausting and noisy
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It can pull you in every direction.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In these moments it’s essential to connect back with who you are.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The most important relationship you will ever have is the one you have with yourself
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And yet, it’s the one that is so easily ignored, neglected and not valued
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The inner part of you longs to be seen, heard and loved by you
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Get to know and cherish that part of you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The more you thrive, the greater the ripple effect
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The more you nourish yourself, the more you have to give to others.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Look inside and shine brightly in your life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Root to rise
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You are enough.

Today is the full moon in Virgo
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The full moon is a time for reflection and a time to look at the areas of your life that are working well and not so well
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Everything is illuminated.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Virgo full moon is a time for healing and for self-forgiveness and the forgiveness of others in your life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This full moon is also a time to let go of perfectionism and invite self-care and self-compassion into your life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Take a moment tonight to look up at the sky and reconnect with yourself.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Just like the full moon, this is a time to shine brightly in your life.

Your work is slowing down and listening
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your work is trusting that you have all the answers
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your work is taking inspired action on what your inner voice is saying
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your work is to remind yourself that your dreams matter.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Reignite your sense of purpose
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Rediscover who you are
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Redefine what is important to you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you come back home to yourself
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you reconnect to your core
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When your energy starts flowing again
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Amazing things happen.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You feel more positive
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You feel more present
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You feel more free
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You have more to give to others.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let go of struggle

Today is International Women’s Day
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you to all the amazing women in my life
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You inspire me every day
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You help me grow
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And bring so much joy to my life
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am eternally grateful.

When you surrender your goals to the universe, you give yourself space to breathe
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It is easy to hang onto things for dear life and suffocate all the joy out of them
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What you think you should be doing often gets in the way of what truly lights you up
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To do lists, rigid plans and the sense of failure when things don’t work out as you planned can blur your sense of who you are underneath
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you let go of the tightness, rigidity and desperation, and trust that the universe has a plan in mind for you, life becomes easier to navigate
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You feel happier, calmer and more spacious
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But best of all, you open yourself up to possibility, discover new things about yourself and are free to make the most of the opportunities that come your way.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is how you grow
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not through rigidity but through expansion
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You just need to get out of your own way.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Take deep breaths and hand over the reins
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Allow your intuition to guide you
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Listen to the voice inside
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Take inspired action and see where it leads
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And shine brightly.

When you stop eating processed, beige foods and start eating colour that matches your internal chakra rainbow, you give your body the nourishment it needs for energy to flow around your body.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you start seeing food as more than just fuel for your body and start seeing it as nourishment for your soul as well, your whole relationship with food changes.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Eating the rainbow supports your body to feel energised, vibrant and alive.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But more than that it nourishes you on a soul level as the colourful food you eat becomes a match for the seven chakras which make up the rainbow inside your body.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Eat and live the rainbow
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And get your energy flowing.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
❤️ Red – Root Chakra – strawberries, raspberries, red peppers, red apples, tomatoes, watermelon, cherries, red grapes, radishes
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🧡 Orange – Sacral Chakra - carrots, orange peppers, butternut squash, tangerines, oranges, cantaloupe melon, apricots
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💛 Yellow – Solar Plexus - yellow peppers, mangoes, grapefruit, lemons, pineapples, squash, bananas
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💚 Green – Heart Chakra – leafy greens, spinach, broccoli, cucumber, celery, cabbage, kale, chard, calvolo nero, pears, green apples, kiwis, green beans, peas, courgettes
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💙 Blue – Throat Chakra – blueberries, grapes, figs
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💜 Indigo – Brow Chakra – blueberries, blackberries, red cabbage, plums
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💜 Purple – Crown Chakra – red cabbage, beetroot, purple cauliflower, purple broccoli, figs, aubergine

It’s ok to want to feel good and let go of struggle
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Stop pushing and start listening.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When things aren’t easy, and you are always trying to make things work
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Surrender you goals to the universe and open yourself to possibility
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your body wants to feel well
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It knows what it needs to be doing
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let go of the need to control everything in your life
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Get out of your own way and allow yourself to be.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you start living in a quieter and more connected way
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is when amazing things start to happen.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You feel a growing sense of calm
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You feel more aligned with who you are
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You have greater clarity about what is important to you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Inside of you are all the answers
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You are already enough
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Start by listening.

💛
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am excited to be nearly at the end of my training to become a Spiritual Life Coach to add to my practice.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am putting together a new programme to offer support to women looking to reconnect with themselves and find deeper meaning and purpose in their lives.

This offering is coming soon…

Dare to dream big
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don’t worry about the how, but focus on the why
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On how you want to feel
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On the people who are important to you
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On the life you want to live
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Despite feeling stuck now
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have courage and commit to taking imperfect action
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Become someone who is consistent.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Small steps overtime lead to big change
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You are not stuck
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Change can happen in an instant
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s your choice.

💛💜💙
