It is a curious proposition that King Solomon, took to his bed, put his body to sleep in order to connect to something far greater than his individual mind, in order to solve the many problems we can only imagine he faced as the great statesman and builder of cities he was renowned to be.

Whether factual or not, the question here is, what gold can we access when sleep is held as sacred rather than dismissed as a blank point in our day? You may be surprised to know that the key to great sleep has got more to do with how you live your day than how comfortable your pillow is, dark your room is or how loudly your partner snores.

What if I were to recommend that the first tip to great sleep was to ‘Express in full’…. how would your sleep change? Read more

Emptiness really is a useful way to bring us back to ourselves. Self-care, massage, travel and meditation are my best ways to bring me back to my centre.

I spent the last 10 days on a meditative retreat full of SUN! & the salty ocean, in which I have been able to notice my “head noise” … the thoughts and old beliefs that have left an impression on me and that I need to work on to release. People and friendships that don’t seem to serve me; yet in my mind I cannot let go of thoughts of them. Yet. Because right now I have something to learn from these attachments, I’m going to find the best way to free myself of them.

In peaceful moments, perhaps in nature, we can best listen to and hear our heart. So how do you best care for yourself? What is it that you need to re-balance yourself? Read more

We can really get in our own way. We talk about “waiting to be motivated” or “ready” to do The Thing – so we wait (and wait, and…wait).

Truth is, we can be waiting forever. Our brains have wiley ways of stopping us from doing things we need, or even want, to do. This is especially true if the deadline for our Thing is a way off in the distance (stay tuned for a future blog post on this). Eventually, panic sets in as the deadline for our task gets nearer.

It’s easy to get trapped in the idea that we are our thoughts and feelings.

I mean your thoughts are in your head… they’re often spoken in your voice… no-one else can hear them… so it’s pretty compelling to believe that those thoughts are you.

We naturally begin to define ourselves as our thoughts and feelings. “I’m a loser”, “I’m depressed”, “I’m not good enough” But the truth is – they are just thoughts and in no way define us. Read more

There are many factors that can affect our health and well-being. What we eat and how we live our lives can be instrumental in feeling better and increasing our energy levels.

Many of my clients going through ‘the change’ consider a healthy diet and lifestyle to be the consumption of lots and fruit and vegetables alongside regular exercise. In actual fact, the types of food you eat can directly impact the resultant effects on your body.
