How can we feel grateful for the good, the bad or the downright ugly? Gratitude for a bad day, a bad week or a really bad month seems crazy sometimes doesn’t it? BUT we can try to practise feeling gratitude for all of the situations in our lives. Even really challenging situations can contain important lessons that are linked to our growth and our capacity to receive abundance. Your intentions will occur in divine timing, not necessarily

It’s bloody cold, and with those dark mornings, how can we really rev those engines to get going in 2024?

As the year draws to a close, I invite you to join my End Of Year Ritual which I want to be both meaningful and memorable for you. Many cultures and traditions hold special rituals to honour the end of one year and the beginning of another.

Sometimes it feels like one bad thing happens after another.

Here is the house where my mum was born, in rural West Cork, Ireland. On walking around there recently, I was suddenly struck with what she had gone through in life to become the woman she was. I am still working on breaking those family patterns that have been passed down. It’s a journey like life itself and whilst sometimes it can be so frustrating and distressing, I am now in a place where I

Or do you every feel unworthy? Do you tell yourself that you’re just not worthy or not deserving? Such a big, sticky, messy subject – our feelings around worthiness… Let’s go through this, step by step.

Loving ourselves is definitely a journey and NOT a destination. There will be good days and there will be err not so good days. And that’s okay.  AND loving your body is even more of a journey, not a destination. It’s a process of learning to accept and appreciate your body for all that it is, the so-called flaws and all.  It’s about finding the beauty in your unique shape, size, and proportions. And it’s
