As a transformational therapist I am qualified & insured as a massage therapist (trauma informed), QEC Advanced Practitioner, Rewind for PTSD & birth trauma, Emotional CPR Educator (working towards Facilitator). I have also attended many other trainings & workshops which add to my skill set.

Wide angle view of my therapy room. My colour is purple, there are warm fairy lights around the ceiling, other soft lighting, bookshelves, a massage table in the middle, a wall hanging depicting a mandala in purples on the wall to the left, window on the far side has a spider plant and two signs that say “if you want to feel rich, just count all the gifts you have that money can’t buy” and “too much of a good thing can be wonderful”

Black background with a face of a woman looking down on the left. To the middle and right side is a block of text in white:
Are you:
* scared you’ll never get over your birth trauma?
* living with some other trauma or PTSD?
* fed up of a phobia that limits activities?
* trying to change a bad habit?
* worn out by chronic pain, such as fibromyalgia?
* or tired of living with anxiety, low confidence or any other limiting belief?
If you are ready to make significant changes I can show you the way to transform your life

I have been hearing from someone who now has refugee status but is too traumatised to work. My heart broke to hear his story. He feels such shame about his mental health & feels heartsore. Hopefully our support will give him hope & help him heal.

Doesn’t everyone try to carry as much as possible to reduce trips?

Why does the White House need a ballroom?
Who should make decisions about the White House? Shouldn’t it be a group of impartial decision makers?
Did Trump make this decision himself or was there any form of due process?

Unsure if I want to read that, tbh.

Had 1 non hormonal device that sat without attachment, no problems. Got a different one that required attachment and gave up after 6 months. It was just too awful.

Both cats deigned to spend time on or near me this evening. I have won at life today.

I hear you. Two weeks ago on Sunday I pulled an intercostal muscle on my left, rolling over in bed. Then on the Wednesday I laughed at work. That’ll teach me! Made it 100x worse and sent it over to the right side AS WELL! Finally getting easier…. Hope it’s not two weeks for you.

My boobs were sore, so I knew. I had to wait to test.

I love my legs!

After 40 or so years of poor body image, covering up because I was told I was too skinny, I’ve done some trauma healing work and now appreciate my body and it’s awesomeness 🥰
It’s amazing to be able to enjoy summer weather in shorts 😎

I have travelled south to my ‘second family’ ie my massage association in Morecambe for a weekend of training. At the end of day 2 of 3 I am looking forward to tomorrow but already getting sad about the nearing end

A ★★★★½ review of Local Hero (1983)

Umpteenth viewing of this film. It’s like a warm blanket on a chilly evening and an antidote to the modern world. Corporate money men v Wiley country folk blah blah blah. No, like Peter Reigert, just ...

It is a great privilege for me to know some amazing people who face such immense challenges & yet still show their humanity and humour.

Today is World Hearing Voices Day, 14/09.

People who hear voices, or have other sensory experiences, & who may have a diagnosis of psychosis or schizophrenia are so often stigmatised or misunderstood.

World Hearing Voices Day - Change Mental Health

On 14th September, we mark World Hearing Voices Day by raising awareness, challenging stigma and promoting understanding of hearing voices.

I don’t pretend to know the science behind it, but it’s an incontrovertible truth that a cabinet full of mismatched mugs is far superior to a cabinet full of matched mugs.

Is there a word for the smell of your own skin after a day in the summer sun?

Does anyone else bring their arm up to their nose to smell their warm sun-kissed skin?

Just me?
