One of the unexpected fall outs of the always on, never ending busy lives many people lead, is that this kind of living, leaves little room for the skilful management of endings.

The Inner Development Goals summit 2024 took place in Stockholm this month, bringing together global thought Leaders in this space. Over 3 days, a wealth of information sharing and experiential learning was made available to delegates who attended too, from around the globe.

Thrilled to share that once again I am offering these Women’s Workshops, online from Oct 8th, 12 noon to 2pm every second Tuesday, 5 workshops, over a 10-week span.

Maybe I’m the only one sick of hearing Coaches and Consultants banging on about performance - but I don’t think I am.

As a Chartered Work and Coaching Psychologist, I can help you, your team, your organisation achieve peak performance. I’ve helped hundreds of clients over decades to do this, but increasingly I don’t believe in performance as the target. Or certainly not the only target to aim for!

Although it’s a question oft posed as Shamans, and one I often offer my clients, the untimely passing of my young cousin recently, really brought this question into view again.

We’re all familiar with the beautiful image of a seemingly serene swan. A being who looks effortless in their movement, going about their day. But what we don’t see, is the furious paddling below water level. Not everything is as it seems on the surface.

As I do every year, I am taking a few weeks of extended leave, away from seeing clients. I need it to refresh my brain, and to take time for myself to take stock and regroup.

There is no doubt about it - rest is not valued in our society. While, in some quarters, I’m prepared to believe we are improving, I still believe that we do not value rest nearly as much as we should.

I’m sharing quite a bit about my own recovery from chronic fatigue on my insta at the moment, and how I learned all about the importance of self-connection as a foundation for health. This was mirrored too in my client’s journeys.

I wanted to say a huge thank you for all the really lovely messages of support and encouragement that I have received since my re-brand.

I am beyond thrilled to (finally) be able to announce that I have been working on a total re-brand, complete with name change!

So excited to be offering my Bealtaine (summer) circle this weekend. Are you joining us?

Summer is synonymous with the element of fire, with passion, love, light. Many enjoy being outside, at festivals, parties, in community. However, for others, this can be a draining, somewhat pressured season, where they feel the pressure to be too much on view.

When I first “ came out” as a Shaman professionally, there were many who warned me against it! Set up a separate site they said, people won’t understand!

It’s hard not to feel way-laid at times by all that is going on in the world. Hard to believe in the reality of our own plans. Our own privilege. Hard to keep going.

As the face of what constitute family changes, and as more and more people move away from their family, how can we re-think community structures to support us in the ways that extended family used to?

While there has never been a one size fits all, increasingly I am hearing about hybrid working being less prominent, and of workers facing back into long commutes and some presenteeism again.

Increasingly I see a difference in both the motivation and the outcomes, of people trying to be “nice”, rather than “kind”. And I passionately believe that kindness trumps niceness, every time.

Happy new calendar year. This is your gentle reminder, that you are not broken, and that you do not need to wholeheartedly change every aspect of your life!
