Change! It’s scary but necessary to move forward. I’ve written about the concept of change before – it’s a part of life that I have always struggled with. I embrace the fact that to be successful it’s essential to move outside your comfort zone. As I always say, if you keep doing what you are doing, you’ll keep...
We all have the ability to infuse our bodies with additional energy to enhance the body’s natural healing process. The laying on of hands as in Reiki is particularly effective. No matter where your hands are placed on your body, the energy, which is channelled through your hands, is attracted to the area where it is...
It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to…that was my anthem for my 25th birthday. When I turned 25 I had a bit of a meltdown – I called it a quarter life crisis. I cried at my party, into my glass of red, and continued to for the week that followed. I had so many things that I had planned to achieve before turning 30 and...

Meditation is one of the best tools to balance our emotions and let go of stress and tension…that is until you get so frustrated with the incessant thoughts running through your head that it defeats the purpose of meditating. I have always struggled to meditate. My brain goes a million miles an hour and I used to get...
“Walking is man’s best medicine” – Hippocrates I’m sitting back reminiscing about my trip to Europe last year thinking how healthy and full of life I felt. We walked miles every day. In Santorini we meandered through the streets, took a trip down to Oia and walked down to Ammoudi Bay for a dip in the ocean. Along the way...
There is no denying colour affects our senses and emotion. Certain colours boost our energy whilst others have a calming effect.
