2024 is gone...hello 2025...
Intentional living
After a year of change, transformation, chaos and intense processing and healing in y own life, I'm feeling the shift towards a more grounded and centred life this year. I have been reading and getting some tips on focus and I saw this.
A simple structure that focuses on 3 core questions:
What went well and why?
What didn't go so well and what did I learn?
What am I working towards and how will I make it happen?
I will be using this process monthly to keep me on track.
This year I am choosing the word ‘trust' to guide me.
Trust has long been an issue in my life. Trusting that life would support me and knowing this felt difficult for me, but looking back over much of my life, whenever I needed the answers, they always came.
2024 showed me once more that all I need to do sometimes is to honour the journey and transformation and ask for the right next steps. I was held this year in my process more than I have ever allowed in my life and it felt good. More of that please!
What went well in 2024?
Collaboration. Tailored Programmes. Retreats.
Working with others has always been a passion of mine and developing Root and Gather events alongside Gillian has been as always, easy, natural and wonderful. I was grateful and honoured to bring this work to a client on the eve of her wedding. It was beautiful gift to give her bridesmaids and friends and we explored with Cacao, mediation, mantra and reiki drumming. I am so looking forward to bringing some deeper experiences this year to Glasgow and elsewhere.
Our NOURISH retreat this year alongside Alex was a learning curve for me, but it all felt so aligned and natural. It was so good we sold it out in a flash again for this year! So we got our heads together and decided we would bring in a celebratory Summer Solstice Retreat in June 2025. I am excited to bring some different energy to this retreat and to call in some more wonderful Souls to share it with.
My 1:1 tailored programmes have brought amazing results for my clients and this is my passion. Seeing transformation at a deep level is, I feel, my purpose. It has been so successful that these clients are going further on the healing journey but also have been guided to continue to work with me over a longer period, to connect more deeply, give themselves the gift of radical self-care and to explore what is available to them in the future. I have developed the programmes and added a programme for 12 sessions for those needing a more nurturing level of support.
These programmes are something I WISH had been available to me as I went through my own journey of healing.
I now have two new clients step into an eight session programme and have availability for two more. Drop me an email of you would like some support in your own journey.
So much happened in 2024. Two new Reiki Masters, a new Reiki Master Practitioner, The Confident Practitioner with Emmy was a huge success and I loved working with some of you after the course to develop your confidence and gain some creativity and momentum in your business. I studied A LOT and there is SO much more of that to come in 2025, continuing my journey with the Root Cause Practice and nipping to London for a Shame workshop with Carolyn Cowan in March.
Challenges and Learning
I have always been on the go and have often neglected my own self care in support of others. I took a decision to work with a nutritionist and become stronger and more confident in my changing body in January 24. By my birthday in February, I was flat on my back and sick.
Rebuilding after illness, I began to recognise some old patterns and sought some advice. By May I had some family issues and I was off up in fight/flight again. July I sought deeper support and I am still going with that.
I learned from an early age that my value came for doing everything for others and being the one to sort it all out. This year, I have revisited some of those old wounds and I am tending to them still.
The theme for next years courses, workshops, events and programmes will all be based on my own journey. The pillars of health and awareness that I used to get well. They never go away and each time I find myself off track, I return to them again and again.
Pillars
Diet & Food
Rest & Sleep
Physical Activity
Reducing Harmful Substances
Healthy Relationships
Mental Wellbeing
Slowing Down to Feel and Heal
They are returning to basics. We don't get better or fix anything by adding more to an already difficult situation. I ma looking forward to sharing this knowledge with you.
2025 and Beyond
My work and business is part of me, as my life changes so does all of that. Giving up teaching Kundalini Yoga weekly was huge decision for me but it was the right one. This has opened up space for me to just be occasionally but also to offer you more of the transformational work I offer.
My group programme is something I has been in my plans for some time and this year I decided to step up.
If you are
- Struggling with chronic stress and burnout
- Exhausted by teatime
- Putting everyone else's needs before your own
This will offer you an opportunity to invest in your own wellbeing.
It brings a unique blend of 1:1 coaching, group support, and wholistic practices, to help you learn to:
• Establish healthy boundaries
• Release limiting beliefs
• Build lasting resilience
• Reconnect with your authentic self
Program includes:
✔️ Two personalized 1:1 sessions
✔️ Four 2-hour group calls
✔️ Somatic movement classes
✔️ Yoga Nidra downloads
✔️ Comprehensive workbook
✔️Group Reiki Sessions
Excited to learn and grow from all of you that jump on. Book and pay online and details will be sent to you directly. This will will be a wonderful journey of self discovery.
I am still uplevelling the Reiki training I offer, I have had less interest recently in Reiki Level One and more and more people asking me for support as Practitioners to gain confidence. With that in mind I will be adding some practitioner support to my Level Two training this year. For anyone feeling lost, I often tailor sessions for those of you struggling with specific issues.
I am slogging away at writing my book, which I hope will be guide for people struggling with chronic illness, stress, anxiety and depression to know they aren't alone, broken or lost. The first part of the book is my own story and while I have been writing, it has brought up so many memories, this will very likely be transformational for me but it is TOUGH!
Using Sankalpa as part of my upcoming programme has inspired me to work with one myself this year. I want to be intentional about my life this year, both business and personal.
Working smarter not harder. Having fun and being creative in my collaborations. Focusing my energy where it it really wants to go and to decrease the scattering mind.
Knowing and trusting where life is guiding me and who to. Making deliberate choices about what lights me up, sharing the knowledge that I love, rather than creating from financial pressure.
Discernment around which projects deserve my full attention
I know what I do works, it has worked time and again with my clients and I am honouring my last two years by really focusing on what I am good at.
Let's see what 2025 shows me.
