I was chatting to a Reiki client the other day about some relationship and work issues she was having. I asked her a question that I ask a lot of my clients, and ask myself a lot, which I believe is actually one of the best questions you could ever ask yourself. “If I truly loved, honoured, trusted and respected myself, what would I not be putting up with? If I completely loved and respected myself, and prioritised my…
I love this quote by Ernest Hemingway; “We are all broken. That’s how the light gets in.” Reminds me of a blog I wrote on kintsukuroi, a Japanese technique where they take broken items and piece them back together with gold, the idea being that we are more beautiful for having been broken. ❤️🩹 The most amazing people I’ve ever met are those who truly know what it is to feel broken, and to learn, heal and grow in…
This isn’t a question many people consider very often but it’s an important one. Do you like who you are in general?

After 20 years of challenging relationships where I was let down over +…
I was listening to a podcast the other day + they were talking about how to build stronger relationships. 💪🏻 Can’t for the life of me remember who I was listening to so won’t paste the link here but the interviewee said he + his wife ask this question of each other regularly: “How can I love you today?” 💕 I thought this was such a cool question to ask your partner, so I’ve started doing…
Let’s face it, there are days where we don’t feel 100%. There are days where you might feel more like 40%. But if you can commit to giving every day your best, then you’re always showing up for yourself + those around you. If I’m catching up with a mate + I’m only feeling 40%, they’re getting 100% of that 40% that day. Life is full of challenges + demands. We get tired, sore…
