Work 1:1 With Me

As an Intuitive Life Coach I guide you on the most sacred pilgrimage you’ll ever go on—from your head, to your heart, to your soul.

I support you in navigating your inner world as you move through the complexities of life.

Souls come to me when they’re feeling stagnant and yearning something deeper from life.

Soul Circle

Soul Circle is a monthly group space I’ve created where you’ll connect more deeply with me and other like-hearted souls.

• I’ll teach on different soul-led topics,

• do live Q&A with you,

• and share some poetry.

Next one is Wednesday 26th June at 6PM BST (replay will be available).

What’s Here Now?

“Be here now.” - Ram Dass

When I sit down to write I often don’t know what’s going to come up.

I start writing something then delete it.

I start writing something then save it for another draft post and start something else.

Other times I have a moment of inspiration and know exactly what to write.

Today, I don’t know what will come up.

The words will appear as I start typing.

My job isn’t to know, but to be connected to my heart.

Because it knows.

I just know that writing is therapeutic for me. The act of giving a voice to my words is healing and required as part of my journey. It feels good to my soul to express this way right now. It’s a way to make sense of the chaos going on inside.

Here’s a collection of things coming up right now as I get present with my heart:

1. My birthday was on May 30th and I had mixed feelings about it. It’s been a joy in many ways and a period of grief in many ways. A reminder of what’s happened on my journey so far—the sadness I’ve experienced—and a reminder of who I’ve become so far—the emotional awareness I’ve gained. I remember feeling really excited for my birthday when I was a kid. I yearn for that feeling again. Getting excited at the chance to celebrate again. I’m learning to celebrate. I’m learning that celebration doesn’t have to necessarily have a reason. It’s ok to celebrate the small wins. Celebrate simply for being alive. It’s also a reminder that celebration and grief go hand-in-hand. As I embrace something new, I let go of something old. It’s important to honour both.

2. I prefer good food and drinks with a great conversation instead of a big party like I did 10 years ago. What nourishes my soul has changed. Instead of being in big groups, I like small intimate gatherings. It’s important for me to recognise and honour that.

3. Hospitality makes all the difference to an experience. I went to a restaurant called Bacchanalia in London and the General Manager took the time to speak with us and tell us about his hometown in Portofino. He shared how he lived in a house that has been passed down seven generations in his family. Amazing. Imagine the energy and the stories that live inside those walls. Being warm and welcoming came naturally to him. It was nice to see someone doing a job that truly lights them up. He may or may not agree, but I feel like his purpose is to make people smile. I certainly did.

4. Laying in bed until 11am is not something I would have previously done. It’s been nice to relax my nervous system and let myself off the hook to exhale. I’m usually very hard on myself (as most of us are), and it’s been a real practise in catching the voice in my head that says “you shouldn’t be doing this”.

5. Recently had pain in my wisdom tooth that got inflamed and required antibiotics. Western medication has failed me in the past so I have often sought out a holistic/eastern approach to health. However, antibiotics cleared up the infection within 3 days and I was so grateful for modern medicine. It’s about finding the balance. Health is wealth. Without health you don’t feel like doing anything. I couldn’t concentrate with my jaw continually throbbing. Grateful to be pain free. I’m learning to take care of my body before it gets sick instead of needing to take care of it because it is sick. A preventative approach rather than reactive.

6. In a relationship, when we stop asking each other questions, that’s when we begin to take each other for granted—assuming we know them well enough and lack curiosity. When someone asks me genuine questions about my day or my life in general, it really makes me feel seen and heard. It’s my #1 love language along with being listened to.
