Well my last reel has certainly struck a nerve! It seems giving the middle finger to 2025 resonates with many of us. 😂🥴 Welcome to all new followers and hello to all my gorgeous existing ones. It’s a year since I really posted an update on my socials and there are lots of reasons which I will explain when I feel ready. For now I want to give a shout out to this one. My treasured friend who has held me in the darkest of times as I navigate the deepest sorrow of loosing my mum a few months ago. No idea where I’d be without you my precious - amongst all of the many ‘lessons‘ 2025 brought to our doors we have somehow still managed to laugh until we’ve cried. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. We both know 2026 is also going to present situations for us to grow through but I know we can do this. I’m wishing ALL of you the most peaceful and calm festive period and will be back in 2026 - excited for the energy of a ‘1’ year in numerology ❤️❤️❤️🎄🥳🤩🎉😁

I’ve been busy working with a few families over the summer and here’s a gorgeous Xmas update from a very special family 🎄🤩🥳❤️

Merry Christmas from my house to yours. Whatever this festive season looks like for you my wish is that it is blessed with happy memories even if they’re edged with the sadness of loss. As we get older Christmas takes on a whole new energy and meaning. We reflect on times gone by, relationships lost and the pain of our own growth mixed in with pockets of joy, contentment and deep meaning. Today my heart is filled with immense gratitude - for all of it. The dark and the light. Because without one we cannot experience the other. Thank you to all my clients past and present for their trust in me to support them as they find their own way. Life is precious. Let’s not waste it! ❤️❤️❤️

Are you able to love and accept each version of yourself as you grow?

Life is messy. It’s meant to be. That’s how we learn. Layer after layer of learning. Recently life has got pretty emotional for me and I found myself dropping into an old pattern “I’ll be ok when…”. Sounds familiar right? I realised and was aware that old patterns were at play and I was judging myself pretty harshly for finding life tough. I’m a highly sensitive person and, in the past, have used all that comes with that as stick to beat myself with. I’ve felt not enough on so many levels. Not resourceful enough, not strong enough, not comfortable enough with my emotions - you get the gist 😳🤦🏼‍♀️. And to be perfectly honest I felt I was loosing my mind at times because this felt like really old stuff I’ve dealt with over and over again.

Sometimes when we’re in the messy middle of change and growth it’s difficult to ‘learn the lesson’ and still show yourself the love and compassion you’d afford a friend or loved one. But it IS the answer.

What has worked for me?

- Acceptance of what is.
- Letting go of expectations of others.
- Leaning into the love I have for myself in all life’s messiness.
- Reaching out to my friends and sharing really honestly how hard I was finding things.
- Allowing them to support me 😂
- Refocusing on what I could control and ultimately that’s down to ME.
- Becoming aware of my own negative internal dialogue and changing that to positive affirmations.

And guess what? It works. All this self acceptance stuff works. All this self love stuff makes a huge difference- it shifts your energy and focus. Each 💩 situation changes us on an energetic level. I feel stronger and more self assured. I feel more confident and grateful. I even did some kitchen dancing by myself yesterday after a day in my garden 😂.

Whatever you’re going through in your own life I wish you self acceptance. I wish you the grace to love yourself as you ARE now in all your messiness. 🙌🏻❤️🙌🏻

Wow 🤩 10 years ago I worked with my first little client! The gorgeous and super brave Katie. Life changing for us all. ❤️🥰❤️🥰🙌🏻 Where on earth has the time gone 😳🤭. Little did we know back then that Mindful Monkeys was just around the corner and I’d go on to create such a legacy. It hasn’t been easy…..far from it. It has pushed every single button I possess and I’ve had to dig deep professionally and personally but here we are 10 years, 100s of clients/families supported, practitioners trained and still more to come. Thank you to all my supporters, cheerleaders, friends and family who have been there to hold me up and cheer me on! Thank you most importantly to all my clients who have trusted me to help and together we’ve created such a beautiful ripple of connection and self acceptance ❤️🙌🏻❤️🙌🏻 here’s to the next 10 years 😂🙌🏻🤩🤩❤️😂

Article in today's Scottish Sun telling the story of my youngest client, Katie! Katie was petrified of the wind before coming along to see me earlier this year. Working together with her Mum, Katie and I enjoyed our sessions together taking journeys to magical kingdoms. It was great fun and we had a lot of laughs.

Nothing will ever replace the feeling I had when Katie was able to skip down my garden path with no hat or coat on - it truly was magical.
