My loves, it’s ok to feel a bit scared right now, to feel uncomfortable in this space of uncertainty, this unknown limbo kind of space, the space where your mind has too many “what ifs” to answer, this space where you might jump from A-Z in one step instead of 25… it’s ok…
.
.
It’s ok to feel sad, to feel heartbroken, to wish things were different… it’s ok to feel the loss of your plans + dreams + hopes for this year (I know I am right now, very much)… it’s ok to feel grief, to feel that pang, that ache, that tightness in the chest, that big emotion – for the planet, for the people who have lost their lives, for the loved ones we aren’t seeing currently… it’s ok…
.
.
It’s ok if you’re feeling more anxiety than normal right now – in fact, its absolutely natural in these strange times we find ourselves in, as I said yesterday, even if we are seeking the good in this situation, do not underestimate that our systems are under increased stress right now… it’s ok if your sleep is a little weird or disturbed right now… it’s ok if you’re still feeling in shock + like this whole thing just cannot be real… it’s ok…
.
.
It’s ok because ALL feelings are ok to feel… none of them are good or bad… there is no judgement here… they are just movements of energy within our bodies…
.
.
Would we rather not have some of the difficult or uncomfortable emotions? Yes, of course… but ALL of them are ok, we can FEEL all of the feelings + still be ok…
.
.
Being gentle with ourselves + working WITH the energy is the key thing…
.
.
And this is why my online SACRED REST SESSIONS are here to help you navigate ALL the emotions + help you feel stronger, steadier + more relaxed, with less anxiety + less fear in these unprecedented times…
.
.
I can help you calm the fear + the unknowns, by working with the Kidneys + the Water Element… I can help you to soften the sadness + loss, by working with the Lungs + the Metal Element… I can help you lower your anxiety + help you sleep better again, by working with the Heart + the Fire Element…
.
.
This is the work I have been doing in my acupuncture clinics for over a decade, now you can access it online, live, from anywhere in the world…
.
.
If you haven’t done any calls like these before, all you need to do is LISTEN via your computer, device or telephone, with one click… They will be live on the night, but replay is automatically included to download + keep, so if you can’t join me live, or you are in a different timezone, that’s totally ok…
.
.
Joining me on the audio calls (or getting the replay to listen to later) will give you space to breathe, relax + unwind, with guided meditation, energy healing, yoga nidra using the acupuncture meridians, breathwork, Chinese Medicine / Five Element perspectives + deep, deep relaxation…
.
.
Choose your SACRED REST SESSIONS (replays included) here…
.
.
P.S. if you are considering joining my 5 month online group experience that starts in May, the SACRED REST COLLECTIVE, (it has one of these kinds of meditation + wellness calls EVERY month, plus much more!) then you can get ALL 3 of these sessions for FREE as a fast-action-bonus, if you sign up to the Collective before the first of these sessions goes live…

Five Elements
The Power in Gentleness
Oftentimes gentleness is seen as weak, as “less than”, as TOO feminine…
.
.
But when did gentleness become a dirty word? When did taking our time + being super mindful of our needs become a negative thing? When did giving ourselves space + gently feeling into things, become wrong?
.
.
How did it become gentleness VERSUS action? Or gentleness vs progress? Or gentleness vs power? Who said it had to be one or the other? When did these concepts become mutually exclusive?! Because they’re really not…
.
.
You do not need to feel bad for wanting a more gentle energy in your life, a more gentle way of living + being in the world…
.
.
Embracing gentleness does not mean you will lack anything in your life, that you will “fall behind”, or not achieve anything… You can still be super successful, exponentially powerful, + progress positively + abundantly in your life, without having to push, force, hustle, strive or struggle…
.
.
And this is because there is innate POWER in gentleness, there is innate power in you, beautiful soul…
.
.
Think of the gentle stream that wears away mighty rock over time – its gentleness has power + STRENGTH…
.
.
Or the tiny seed that slowly but surely makes its way above the ground, through the blanket of snow, to the light – its gentleness has power + GROWTH…
.
.
And what about the new moon that arrives tonight, with its darkness that is perfect for reflecting on what we wish to manifest next – its gentleness has power + POTENTIAL…
.
.
Now I don’t know about you, but I think strength, growth, potential + power, all from a base of gentleness, sounds perfect, right?

What Does it Mean to be Fragile?
I was talking with one of my gorgeous patients in clinic at the beginning of the week + the topic of being “fragile” came up…
.
.
It’s funny the things we tell ourselves – we shouldn’t be fragile, we shouldn’t feel like we need care or support, we shouldn’t be cross, we shouldn’t need love, we shouldn’t care what others think of us, we shouldn’t feel fear…
.
.
We tell ourselves we should be stronger, we should be “better than that”, we should be different, we should be more like other people…
.
.
But why shouldn’t you be fragile? Why shouldn’t you be whatever it is you are telling yourself you SHOULDN’T be? What are you making it mean?
.
.
I told my patient that being or feeling fragile (because the two aren’t always the same thing), doesn’t make you any less amazing, any less beautiful, any less special or actually any less STRONG…
.
.
When we think of the most exquisite bone china, or the most stunning of orchids, we don’t dismiss them purely because they need a little more care or they need handling slightly more gently…
.
.
Yes an orchid might not thrive if it is planted outdoors in the Winter snow, but if we KNOW + understand that, if we know + understand what it needs to blossom + bloom (i.e. light + warmth + care + gentleness), it’s FULL BEAUTY can come out…
.
.
And this can happen for YOU when you know + understand YOUR ELEMENT – or when you have me by your side, to help you understand it + reframe some things for you!
.
.
Sign up for the EMBRACE YOUR ELEMENT INTENSIVE day, so we can spend a whole day together doing EXACTLY this kind of transformational coaching together!

As a Five Element Acupuncturist, I See You
I see you. One of my most treasured gifts as a Five Element acupuncturist, is that I can SEE you…
.
.
And I don’t just mean with my big-ol’ cat eyes, I mean with my intuition, with my feelings, with the wisdom of this ancient medicine that is my absolute raison d’être…
.
.
I see the stuff that is unsaid + unseen. I see the stuff that is underneath the mask, underneath the outside layer, underneath the “everything’s-ok-honestly”… I see the deeper stuff…
.
.
I see your challenges, I see your struggles + I understand.
.
.
I see your strengths, I see your authenticity + I will celebrate them.
.
.
I see your powers, I see your potential + I will encourage you to use them.
.
.
I see you, whatever your Element is, whoever you are, I see you.
.
.
I see YOU, the true you, + I will hold sacred space for you.
.
.
Because after all, many of us have spent years + years feeling different, unsupported, misunderstood, not good enough, not held, not accepted, not witnessed, not seen…
.
.
Not FULLY seen as the beautiful souls that we are, in our authenticity, in our Element – for all of our strength, our quirks, our differences – not seen as our truest selves by the world (+ people) around us…
.
.
I see you in all your true, authentic amazingness – I absolutely SEE YOU my friend…
.
.
“Embrace Your Element” is my online, transformational coaching course, that runs twice a year, where I see you + guide you over 9 weeks towards life-changing self-acceptance, through understanding yourself through the lens of your particular dominant Elemrnt personality type…
.
.
And I now, for a limited time, I am offering a one day EMBRACE YOUR ELEMENT INTENSIVE version – it is you + me, one whole day, your Element, + huge changes! Take the opportunity to spend time with me 1-1, where I will hold space for you, witness your true essence, + truly SEE you as the magnificent soul that you are, to create some crazy amazing shifts + transformations! See all the details HERE.

Transformation is my Middle Name
This week has been a big one energies wise + astrologically… Venus has gone retrograde in Scorpio, the new moon in Libra FEELS as though it was in Scorpio due to its square to Pluto (Scorp’s ruling planet)…
.
.
Ultimately this means transformation, transformation, transformation… And the focus of this transformation right now is in relationships – with others, but perhaps more importantly, also with OURSELVES…
.
.
I am Scorpio with Scorpio rising, plus I have a whole heap of other stuff in Scorpio too, including Venus! So yeah, now is intense!
.
.
My friend + astrologer, Natalie Delahaye, said to me at the start of this year, that the movement of Pluto in my chart would highlight the shamanic-like, deep energetic work I do… Transforming people’s ways of thinking, giving people new ways of seeing things, writing, expressing + guiding others to a new way of meeting the world…
.
.
And ultimately, this is why I do what I do – delving deep with my acupuncture patients, my coaching clients, + anyone going through my online courses – bringing depth, healing, transformation + rebirth on all levels (hello Scorp + Pluto)…
.
.
I’m not going to lie, sometimes this can be uncomfortable, but oh my goodness, I will hold that sacred space for you, hold your hand when things get scary + support you in coming out the other side, finding your amazing breakthrough + your beautiful transformation!
.
.
It is exactly what I am MADE to do + I have something exciting for you, coming next week, so we can get YOU some life-changing insight into the relationship you have with yourself + the world around you… And what better time to do this stuff, than when Venus is retrograde in Scorpio?!
.
.
But for now, have you seen my transformational online coaching course, “Embrace Your Element – 9 Weeks to Life Changing Self Acceptance”? See how you could benefit from understanding yourself through the Five Elements HERE…
