I always said I was never going to be a teacher and I always said I was never going to move to London. Both of these things happened to me in August 2008. Teaching is an incredible profession- no two days are the same and it can be very rewarding. However, most of my […read more]
Ok, it’s time to get honest with you all. It might appear that from what you know about me already that I love, live and breathe yoga. Well, I do now, but if you’d asked me a few months ago, I would’ve been lying if I’d said I was practising regularly. Ultimately, even though […read more]
I just wanted to speak to you all about your own, unique healing journey and how we can go about starting our own. I know that a lot of you are wondering what it should look like and how to go about it, so I put this video together for you. There might be […read more]
It’s ok. It’s ok to just go to yoga because you want to move your body, not because you’re looking for spiritual ‘ah-ha’s. It’s ok to enjoy your job (yes, really) and not be swept up in the need to change it. It’s ok to be like your parents. It’s ok to procrastinate sometimes. Maybe […read more]
If you’re anything like me, you love a good quote! Even though I think it’s easy to be bombarded with motivational quotes, especially on social media, that feeling when you read something and it just grabs you is pretty special. I love collecting pretty, uplifting quotes, and you can see them all by following […read more]
As many of you know, I’m off work at the moment with a hip injury that I actually first suffered with 5 years ago. Well, the devil makes work for idle minds and you can spend a lot of time on the internet when you’re recovering and can’t move about very well! (It’s amazing […read more]
It’s been a while since I’ve put a vlog together for you all, so I thought I’d talk about a topic which a lot of you seem to mention at the moment, which is…… guilt. Guilt and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome from my experience go hand-in-hand. I can see you all nodding your head already…well, […read more]
I was first introduced to the concept of affirmations after reading ‘You Can Heal Your Life’ by the wonderful and truly unstoppable, Louise Hay. If you haven’t come across her work before, I can’t recommend her work highly enough. She is proof that if you live from the heart, and away from fear, you become […read more]
So, to date, I’ve published 212 articles on the blog… I often give myself a hard time because it doesn’t feel as though I’m doing enough, but looking at this number shows me that if I’m enjoying what I’m doing, then something must be going well! To celebrate the magic 212 posts and counting, here […read more]
Yes, you. No, not that you- that one, there! There you are! Hello! Bless you, glowing and flickering like an excited little candle. You see, I’m sure you’ve probably forgotten all about you. I’m not talking about you ‘the mother’, you ‘the daughter’, you ‘the worker’, you ‘the ill person’ or you ‘the person […read more]
I’ve been incredibly guilty in the past of apologising for being interested in alternative therapies and things that are a little bit ‘woo woo’. I asked you all on Facebook one night if you felt the same as I did (a little bit frightened to admit this to people) and the reaction was mixed- some […read more]
As I mentioned on my Facebook page a little while ago, I’ve become very interested over the last few months in not just helping people with CFS/M.E, but in spreading the word about the illness, in making people aware of the condition and in trying to somehow smash the myth that we’re all just lazy […read more]
I used to be absolutely woeful at resting. I struggled with it on a day-to-day basis. When I was a High School Teacher, my colleagues used to come in and say, “Oh hey, did you watch that programme on [……] last night?” Erm…no, no I didn’t. I’m stressed to bits over here and running around […read more]
