thoughts from me to youAnother freebie (and the gift that keeps on giving)
So today is not going to be me spouting forth my...ahem...AMAZING wisdom on how to live a more stress-free and peaceful existence because I have something very exciting to share with you. This week I got an email from one of my lovely clients, who booked a package...
Getting back on the horse
Were you ever told that as a child? 'Oh look, you've fallen off your bike / horse (I grew up in the country - shovelling shit at 6:30am on a freezing Saturday morning is NOT privileged) / got your heart-broken - what you need to do is get right back up on that horse...
Three Steps Forward, Two Steps Back
Off the back of my post last week, when I explained how I'm going to make more time for my 'hippy' side, and reduce my corporate workload to accommodate it, I've had one hell of a week. For anyone outside of the UK, we had MASSIVE storms on Monday, when meant most of...

What it’s really like the first day of your yoga retreat
Hey! So it's my first official day in India. I arrived yesterday morning and got to the retreat in time for lunch. Before I go in to how great it all is, I wanted to share something with you first. Last night, I cried for an embarrassingly long time and wondered if I...
The India trip
Well hey there! I'm working on a few actual posts but my main thing today is to let you know that next weekend I am embarking on a trip that has taken me five years to plan. FYI - I haven't actually been planning for five years, in the regular sense of working out...
