Empowering you to become healthier and happier
Motivational Monday – Strive for Progress, Not Perfection!
Tomorrow marks the first day back to work after the Christmas break, and like many of you, I’ve been reflecting.
I’ll be honest… sometimes I get frustrated that I don’t achieve as much as I think I should. That inner voice that says “you could have done more” can be loud at times.
But when I pause and really look back over the last year, I’m reminded why progress truly matters more than perfection.
While I may not have ticked off every single thing on my ever-growing to-do list, I have:
✨ Completed an intensive breathwork course in Switzerland
✨ Hosted a Tibetan Monk for 5 days, creating a beautiful healing experience for our Reiki students
✨ Achieved several awards for our work
✨ Launched my first book, Inspiration from the Universe,
✨ Started my very first podcast, Inspiration from the Universe, to share more inspiring messages weekly
✨ Made some wonderful new connections within the Reiki community
✨ And I’ve just found out that an article about our visit with Ahbay Rinpoche has literally just been published
On a personal level, it’s been a year of deep change too. Both of my parents have health issues, my son has moved into his first home, and I’ve transitioned into my menopause years with relative ease — supported by Reiki, being kind to myself, and good nutrition.
So as I move into 2026, with a big vision and an even bigger list of ideas and offerings, I’m choosing to remind myself daily:
🌱 Progress, not perfection
🌱 Action is always better than no action
If you’re starting your year feeling overwhelmed or behind, please remember this:
Take one step. Create your vision board. Start today — personally and professionally.
💗 Love yourself
💗 Heal yourself
💗 Be kind to yourself
You are already further along than you think.

Self-Care Isn’t a Luxury… It’s a Necessity
This week, my self-care treat was a beautiful Menopause Massage with the lovely Wendy Penson of Balancing Touch in Risca. Wendy and I occasionally do a treatment swap, so earlier in the week I shared the wonderful Reiki with her, and yesterday I was lucky enough to enjoy a nurturing massage in return.
As women—as we enter the peri-menopausal and menopausal years – our bodies and minds deserve extra care, compassion and nourishment. We give so much of ourselves to others, often placing our own needs at the very bottom of the list… yet it’s us who deserve to be invested in. When we fill our own cup, we’re able to pour so much more into the lives around us 💛
Self-care doesn’t have to be extravagant. It can be simple, soothing, and deeply restorative:
🌿 Taking a long soak to let your mind unwind
📖 Losing yourself in a good book
🍓 Nourishing your body with delicious, healthy foods
🚫 Choosing to avoid toxins and things that drain your energy
🤝 Connecting with friends, family, and colleagues who uplift you
✨ Or embracing complementary therapies—like Reiki, massage, breathwork, or hypnotherapy—that support natural healing
As an experienced hypnotherapist and healer, I see time and time again how transformative it can be when women finally give themselves permission to prioritise their wellbeing.
So today, I invite you to gently reflect:
What self-care do you need right now?
What could you gift yourself this week—physically, emotionally, or energetically—that would truly nourish you?
You deserve to feel balanced, supported, and cared for… not just by others, but by you. 💖
Here’s to listening to your intuition and body, honouring your needs, and choosing self-care that fills your heart and your cup.

Today is Menopause Awareness Day
Menopause Awareness Month takes place in October. Awareness of this once taboo subject is increasing with various campaigns both in the public domain and with employers too however significant more work needs to be done to help the 51% of the population that experience it.
It is estimated that over 13 million women in the UK are on the menopause spectrum varying from perimenopausal (which means around menopause and refers to the time where the body is naturally transitionally towards the menopause as oestrogen levels fluctuate). Post menopause is where there have been 12 consecutive months of not having a menstrual period. Women start the perimenopause at varying ages and for different reasons too but on average signs and symptoms often start from mid 40s onwards.
You may be asking “what does it mean to be perimenopausal or postmenopausal?”. As oestrogen levels fluctuate symptoms can be significant and life changing too. All to often, as I help ladies through this challenging time, I hear how they experience overwhelming feelings of being unable to cope doing things they would normally do in their stride, worrying about people judging them, difficulties with sleeping, being aware of others noticing physical symptoms such as hot flushes etc. Ultimately this may even be contributing to ladies leaving their profession, a significant reduction in self-esteem and confidence and impacting upon personal relationships too.
To help yourself there are various things you can do including:-
- Maintaining a healthy lifestyle
- Eating healthy fresh foods and avoiding preservatives
- Refraining from drinking alcohol or reducing your consumption
- Reducing caffeine
- Drinking more water throughout the day
- Setting a sleep schedule and sticking to it every day
- Carry out some deep breathing exercises at the start, during and at the end of your day (put one hand on your chest and another on your tummy and as you take 10 really deep breaths notice your tummy rise as you inhale and fall as you exhale).
- Say positive affirmations to yourself throughout your day.
- Be active each day even if it is just a gentle walk.
Introduce changes into your schedule gradually and remember consistency is key – it takes 28 days for habits to be implemented! Above all, start to be kinder to yourself and when you need to take things easier do just that. Allow yourself time to do things that you enjoy whether that is chatting with others, doing a hobby, reading, taking a soak in the bath or planning things to look forward to.
Always have a chat to your GP about any health concerns and be open with your friends and family too. Menopause is inevitable for all of us ladies so lets keep learning about our bodies, supporting each other and reaching out sharing our experiences to help others wherever we can.
Hypnotherapy and Healing are both complementary therapies that can help you through this stage in your life. If you would like a complimentary consultation to share your specific issues and for me to explain more about how I could help you move from survive to thrive then get in touch now as I would be delighted to help you.
