You don’t need fixing

You don’t need fixing

You don’t need fixing! You don’t need fixing, you need accepting!  Often when I speak with clients and they realise they may be a ‘people pleaser’, ‘perfectionist, ‘achiever’, ‘helper’ or ‘sensitive’, they think they need to fix this.  That the only way to recover...

Deciding to eat meat again

Deciding to eat meat again

Deciding to eat meat again was one of the biggest decisions of my life! I know that sounds dramatic but being plant-based for over 30yrs was ingrained in me.  I REALLY believed I was doing the best I possibly could for the animals, myself and the planet.  I believed...

Fuel for Thriving

Fuel for Thriving

Fuel for thriving... How we fuel ourselves is the most important thing for mental and physical health and happiness. If we don’t fuel ourselves in the most natural way then what we end up doing is depleting ourselves instead. I know this sounds a bit extreme, but is...

Growing Strawberries

Growing Strawberries

Growing Strawberries The first few years of living in Portugal I did not do very well at growing strawberries.  There were not very many and it was not a very long season.  Now there are masses of them, every day, every year, and the last few years the season has...

Nothing is ever ‘perfect’!

Nothing is ever ‘perfect’!

Nothing is ever ‘perfect’! We spend our lives searching, hoping, and wishing for things to be different.  Thinking that if we have a different partner, home, job, or life that we’ll be happier (and maybe healthier). BUT, the quest for something else stops us from...

What to Prep…

What to Prep…

What to Prep? When all the C@vid craziness happened, I was one of the people prepping.  You never knew when another lockdown would happen or what craziness they’d come up with next so it made sense to be very prepared just in case. Over the last few years, I’ve been a...
