Why do I feel overwhelmed all the time? If you feel like you’re constantly overwhelmed, you’re not alone. It can feel like your mind is always “on”, thinking, planning, and worrying. Dealing with the "mental load". Even when you’re supposed to be resting or relaxing. You might struggle to switch off, or like there’s always something else you should be doing.

So let’s keep this simple! If you just want something to follow If you’re reading this thinking “I just wan

Every January, we’re encouraged to reinvent everything all at once. Diets, exercise, new habits, new job... But real transformation rarely comes from the pressure of making so many dramatic changes all at once. It comes from scaling it all back. The best way is to introduce small steps to change your life. Why big overhauls often leave us overwhelmed When we try to overhaul our routines, habits, health, and mindset all at the same time, it can trigger stress and resistance. M

One of the greatest privileges of my ‘job’ is witnessing how Reiki and wellbeing coaching can literally transform lives, no matter someone’s age or circumstances.

How do you find direction in life when you feel stuck? One rainy afternoon, I was at home having a coffee with a friend when they suddenly asked, “Why do you keep your airer in the dining room?” I stopped and thought, “Why do I put it there?” The dining room is where I sometimes work, where I eat dinner, and where guests sit. The washing could easily go upstairs, where there’s space and where it will eventually end up anyway. It was such a simple thing, yet I hadn’t seen it m

This doesn’t mean ignoring your pain; it’s about learning practical ways to ease its h

Football Coach vs. Health & Wellbeing Coach: One and the Same? A football coach doesn't enter the field to score goals; instead, they provide guidance, support, and strategy from the sidelines, aiding players in reaching their full potential. Without a coach, players would just rush onto the field without a clear plan, doing their best and hoping for success. It’s the same with a health & wellbeing coach. I don’t live your life for you; instead, I support you in redesigning i

Chronic pain: read on for my story about one of my chronic pain conditions and how it actually changed my life for the better. In 2014 I was diagnosed with 2 chronic pain conditions: hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) and fibromyalgia. It's been a physical struggle managing these to say the least! In November 2021, I was working as an office manager in a GP surgery when I started experiencing eye pain. This wasn't pain I had experienced before, and I tried to push thro
