My experience of Somatic Trauma Relief Therapy
When I first started working with a somatic therapist, I didn’t know what to expect.

Why Shadow Work is essential
Over the last year, I've done a lot of shadow work - going through cancer means you are basically forced to confront many different elements of yourself as you are literally put in many challenging situations - so I saw it as a growth opportunity, but over a year later, I'm still reeling from it.

Going for a CT scan is still a strange experience- having the contrast dye injected by the machine and the strange warmth you feel gradually moving around your body is… odd.
Changing the Narrative around a Cancer diagnosis
Rather than ostracise people who have cancer, I believe we need to learn more about it all and help push forward new treatments, new healing methods and greater awareness.
Prepping for Chemotherapy…

Complementary therapies that have helped alongside Cancer Treatment
After getting my cancer diagnosis back in July, literally the next day I started booking alternative healing treatments. We absolutely know now that wellness is not just physical. Here is what I have done so far (2 months in) and how it's helped me…
How Surgery Went- August 2022
I've just come home after 5 nights in hospital recovering from major abdominal surgery to remove about a foot of my colon. Overall it probably wasn’t as bad as I was fearing and I’m feeling better day by day…

The Challenge of Chiron
Chiron is also connected to rebirth and letting go of old burdens or misguided beliefs we may have formed when younger. Sometimes I find it helps to understand the bigger picture. Sometimes when things feel a bit ‘off’ it's calling us to stop and listen. To recognise there is nothing ‘wrong’ with us, it is just a passing energy…

Being Diagnosed with ADHD at 38
Back in February I was diagnosed with ADHD. I had suspected it for a while, but there is so much stigma around it. It was never a condition I had really identified with before until I started researching it. I had initially started looking into it after thinking there was a possibility my son may have a leaning toward ADHD…
Seed Cycling for hormone balance
I have been focusing on taking a cyclical approach to health and the way I manage my work and life for over 2 years now, and I am always discovering ways to deepen my practices. Seed cycling is just that- it gives you different seed combinations to have for the 2 main parts of the cycle- the masculine ‘yang’ building energy and the feminine ‘yin’ declining energy.
