Overwhelm? 5 steps towards re-balance.

Are you overwhelmed? Are you interested in a FREE ten minute meditation you can listen to, to help you re-connect and gain perpective? Read on... Sometimes we all have 'off' days. Sometimes it lasts longer than that. Something just doesn't feel quite right and we reach a state of overwhelm... our mind doesn't want to stop thinking, and ironically it stops our thoughts from being clear. Energy levels drop and lethargy and procrastination win us over. But we must keep going! It's not as simple as retreating into our shell until we recover... There is work to do, maybe little people to look after, maybe older people to look after. But who looks after ...

Pregnant! Now what…?

Pregnancy. A time for many changes physically, mentally and emotionally. Sometimes even spiritually, as you become awestruck about the absolute miracle of life, growing within you. Sometimes good feelings, sometimes not so good. How can I help to support you? As a mother to three children, with three very different births under my belt, I have experienced many different scenarios during pregnancy and labour. From denial to fear, from diabetes to shoulder dystocia, and from shock to euphoria and total empowerment, I believe I have enough experience to listen without judgement, and offer solutions (should you need them) to any pregnancy issue you ...

Pregnant, and hot! When the ‘glow’ gets you down, do yoga!

Ugh, stifling heat... You're pregnant, so, in effect, have a mini oven in your belly... Usually you glow, and it shows, in your unique loveliness as a mama-to-be goddess. But right now you feel like a mini volcano! You can't do anything, go anywhere without feeling uncomfortable. So take a few minutes to honour it, and do nothing... go nowhere. Wherever you are! First, run your inner wrists under the cold tap for a while. It's very refreshing! Pop your feet in a bowl of cool water. A rolled up muslin cloth, or facecloth, soaked in cold water and squeezed out, placed on the back of your neck or over the forehead will also help to cool you down... Keep ...

Yoga… sleep???

Calmness, peacefulness, relaxation. "I could do with that!", people tell me, when I say I am a yoga teacher or talk about my practise. I also sometimes get the response "Oh but I am not flexible enough to do yoga.". Posture practise, which has commonly become known as 'yoga', is only one part of it.. In my humble opinion, yoga, (union of body and mind) is possibly more difficult to work towards through postures, to those of us who are flexible than it is to those of us who aren't, unless you are hung up on what the person next to you is doing. Sometimes, even the thought of yoga posture practise can seem so daunting to people that they just don't ...
