Breathing Ex: Nasal Breathing with many Small Breath Holds
Try this breathing exercise now and just notice how it makes you feel! Just a few minutes…time for yourself this bank holiday…ideal for calming yourself at anytime.
This particular technique helps to prepare your body for a tolerable feeling of breathlessness. By holding your breath for short periods of time it enables the gas Nitric Oxide (NO) to pool inside your nasal cavity, and for the gas Carbon Dioxide to slightly increase in your blood. After doing it for just a few minutes the accumulated Nitric Oxide travels from the nasal cavity to the lungs. When practicing the exercise (holding your breath for up to 5 seconds) if you experience a feeling of hunger for air it shows that the carbon dioxide is increasing in your blood which is a good sign. However, if you find the air hunger too much simply reduce the number of seconds to perhaps 4 or even 3. In due course you will be able to increase it. This exercise is ideal as a warm up to doing other breathing exercises and also great for reducing anxiety and stress, asthma symptoms and aiding breathing recovery following physical exercise. Please note that breath holds are not suitable for anyone who is pregnant. If you have health issues you may wish to consult your GP or Breath Work Practitioner to discuss the suitability of breath work for you personally.

Meet Nellie from Nara and Dragon Dai from Wales!
Just look at these beautiful new additions to our garden. Nine years have absolutely flown by since my partner David and I met and we could not resist treating each other with these beauties to mark the milestone and to admire each day as we walk across the decorative chippings to our Zen Den – Nellie from Nara, Japan and Dai the good old Welsh Dragon!
We wanted something to remind us of our incredible trip to Nara in Japan, where the deers bow to you as you feed them deer crackers. The city holds a very special place in our hearts and in Japan deer (sika deer) are highly revered as sacred messengers of the gods (kami) in the indigenous Shinto religion. They symbolize peace, prosperity, longevity, and divine communication.
Thanks to Tim and Debbie of Onnen Studios in Llandilio for our beautiful bespoke metalwork – we absolutely love them Nellie and Dai!

In a World where you can be anything, be Kind!
In a world where you can be anything… be kind.
Kind to people who think differently to you.
Kind to people whose path is not your path.
Kind to people who believe differently, heal differently, cope differently and grow differently.
Not everybody is meant to work the same way, live the same way or see the world through the same lens. Diversity in thought, belief and approach is what makes humanity interesting.
But most importantly, be kind to yourself too.
Do not shrink yourself to fit environments that no longer align with your values.
Do not betray who you are just to gain acceptance.
And do not allow other people’s judgement, ego or closed-mindedness to make you question your own heart or purpose.
Mental Health Awareness Week is a reminder that words matter.
Compassion matters.
Empathy matters.
You never truly know what somebody else is carrying, healing from or navigating behind the scenes.
There is strength in being direct.
There is strength in being spiritual.
There is strength in being practical.
There is strength in being sensitive.
None of those things cancel each other out.
So today, choose kindness.
Towards others.
Towards yourself.
And towards the parts of you that refuse to stop shining just because somebody else does not understand your light.
Together, united, we can all make a difference and help to make our world a better place.

Resilience and what my dog Ace taught me – Mental Health Awareness Week
This video is a little tribute to my beautiful dog, who is sadly no longer with us 🐾🤍. He taught me so much about resilience, determination, love, and the importance of never giving up on what you truly need — whether that’s comfort, connection, safety, or simply a cosy place to rest.
Even on difficult days, he kept going with trust, persistence, and heart. Watching him reminded me that resilience doesn’t always have to be loud or dramatic. Sometimes it’s gentle. Sometimes it’s simply taking one more step forward, asking for comfort, or believing tomorrow will feel brighter.
For Mental Health Awareness Week, I wanted to share this special memory because many of us are carrying struggles that others cannot see. If you’re having a hard time right now, please know you are not alone.
Life can feel tough sometimes… but healing, hope, and brighter days are still possible.
Thank you for watching and remembering my beautiful boy Ace with me.

The breathing techniques we use are the Oxygen Advantage approach founded by Patrick Mckeown, scientifically proven, which focus on functional breathing, relaxation, resilience, and creating a greater sense of safety and ease within the body.
This day is about slowing down, reconnecting with yourself, and leaving feeling calmer, clearer, grounded, and renewed.

Warmest wishes,

Challenging ourselves – with the 57th floor infinity pool in Singapore
We did something that truly challenged us…
David and I faced one of our biggest fears — heights — as we stood 57 floors up at the iconic Marina Bay Sands Hotel in Singapore, stepping into that infinity pool and swimming right to the very edge, overlooking the entire city was incredible!
Every part of our body was screaming at us to stay back. That instinctive inner voice kicked in, the one designed to protect us. And while that voice has its place, sometimes… it doesn’t serve our highest good. Sometimes it holds us back from fully living and creating amazing lifelong memories.
Because the truth is, fear isn’t always danger.
Often, it’s just unfamiliar.
In that moment, we had a choice:
Listen to the fear… or gently move through it.
We slowed our breathing.
We grounded ourselves.
We reminded our minds that we were safe.
And then something shifted.
What started as fear turned into exhilaration. Presence. Freedom.
A moment we’ll never forget.
This is exactly the work I’m so passionate about — helping others understand that the thoughts in our heads aren’t always truths. They can be reshaped, softened, and supported.
Through breathwork, hypnotherapy, and healing techniques, I help people reconnect with themselves, regulate their nervous system, and step beyond the limits they once believed were fixed.
Because life isn’t meant to be lived on the sidelines.
It’s meant to be felt. Fully. Fearlessly. In the moment.
If you’re ready to move beyond what’s holding you back, I’d love to support you.

Do you Believe?
Believing in yourself is more than just a mindset—it’s the turning point. Because the moment you truly believe, you’re already halfway there.
So many people hesitate to invest in themselves. Yet when they finally do, everything starts to shift. Growth accelerates. Confidence builds. And not only do they transform their own lives – they begin to positively impact others too.
But here’s the hard truth: holding yourself back comes at a cost.
What opportunities are you missing right now?
What could you be doing that you’re not?
What is the personal cost—stress, frustration, feeling stuck?
Trying to do everything alone might feel safe, but it can also keep you stuck for far longer than necessary. Sometimes the fastest way forward is having the right support, guidance, and belief—especially when your own belief wavers.
So ask yourself… what is the cost of waiting?
There’s no time like the present. Time is the one thing you can’t get back – so why not use it to move forward?
If you’re ready to believe in yourself more, let go of what’s holding you back, and take real steps to heal and stride towards the life you want, I’m here to help.
Reach out for a 1:1 consultation and let’s explore what’s possible for you.
Your next chapter starts with a decision. Take action today.
