Sometimes, self-care looks like running a bath or switching off your phone. Other times, it’s saying yes to something new, something that might feel unfamiliar but keeps tugging at your attention. This story is about one of those moments. A few years ago, a client came to see me for what she described as "just a bit of self-care." Let’s call her Rachel. She was overwhelmed, exhausted, and second-guessing every decision at work. She didn’t feel like herself anymore. Like ma

For International Self-Care Day (24 July) Self-care gets thrown around a lot these days. But it’s not always face masks, bubble baths, or a fancy candle. Real self-care is often quieter. Less photogenic. It’s saying no. It’s asking for help. It’s getting enough sleep. It’s making space for your own needs, even if you’re the one who usually holds everything together.

Crystals for Passion and Purpose: How to Reignite Your Inner Spark

Whether you're hopping on a plane or heading off for a long weekend, travel isn’t always as relaxing as it sounds. From flying phobias to the stress of leaving home, and the mental load of preparing everyone else, sometimes we only start to relax... right when it’s time to come home. Here are some of the most common challenges people face when they travel, and the crystals I recommend to support them:

With Mother Ocean Day falling in May, I’ve been reflecting on the lessons the ocean offers us – not just in beauty or power, but in how we move through life. There’s something deeply humbling about the ocean. Its rhythm, its power, its gentleness. It moves constantly, and yet it never seems rushed. It knows when to rise and when to fall. It reminds us that movement doesn’t have to be forceful to be powerful.

Cancer is something that touches so many of us. In my previous career in the NHS, I saw this first-hand — not just the physical toll, but the emotional weight carried by patients and their families. Whether it’s a diagnosis we’ve faced ourselves or someone close to us, the emotional weight it carries can feel overwhelming.

Some days, you just don’t feel quite right—but you can’t explain why. Maybe everything looks fine from the outside, but inside, there’s a heaviness. A sense of disconnection. Like you’re not quite in your own skin. Like you’re drifting… or performing… or trying to hold it all together when something underneath is quietly unravelling.
