Dancing the dream with womb yoga and healing

Wow, so it's been a fairly intense month of healing.  The moon has certainly been putting it in the field - there was a lot of fear, anxiety and agitation coming up for so many, and the need to root down.

I was lucky, as I had been feeling a pull to dig deep into some inner healing work, and in many respects this turned out to be perfectly timed, as it helped support me during these, um, testing times.

Ayurveda - needing some TLC

A few weeks ago now I became painfully aware that I needed to step out of my denial and do something about the inherent tiredness I was feeling.

I'd seen a visiting Peruvian healer who highlighted to me low kidney energy, and the impact this was having on my wellbeing  I knew this really, just like I knew that there were things I was doing that actually weren't supporting my wellbeing at this particular moment in my life…

Retreating to the magical island of Herm

Us four Es love going on retreat, and we love nothing more than retreating to Herm, because it's so easy, it's a simple 20 minute boat journey, plus there is something very magical about Herm.

Each retreat is wonderful in its own way - certainly the last Glastonbury and Goa retreats were just amazing - but sometimes the stars and moons align and this Herm retreat was one of the more enjoyable Herm retreats I've run over the last nine years…

Menstruation...blood on the mat!

It's funny, I'd never thought of it like that, but a friend was saying how menstruation is in the field. I got what she meant, only that I'd not come across this concept of the field before, and actually it made a lot of sense. 

I've been menstruating for a long old while now, since I was 13 years old in fact, but it's only in recent years that I've become conscious…

Dancing with the Moon - my first published book!

So, here it is. My book, published and available for purchase through Amazon, in both paperback and e-book; there's a link below. I wrote it, because I am really hoping that it may help others who also experience fertility issues and go through IVF. So too, those who experience complications during pregnancy, and don't have the birth they intended. It may also be helpful to new mums who find it incredibly hard adjusting to Motherhood…

Full moon rant - not paying for yoga classes!

It’s the full moon today and the full moons tend to brings things to the surface, shining a light on the dark shadows - we see the dark side of the moon! It also makes me rant!

In my shadows, I’ve been doing my best to ignore the fact that over the last few months’ people have been coming to yoga and not paying…

Yoni eggs!

I'd never heard of a yoni egg until about three months after Eben's arrival in the world.  I was understandably a little ungrounded, as one tends to be after the birth of a baby, especially when said baby arrived six weeks early, and an intuitive healer suggested an obsidian yoni egg might both ground me and strengthen my pelvic floor…

Guernsey has truly awakened!

I love Guernsey, I've always loved Guernsey, it's an amazing place to live, but this last year it's just become even more amazing than it's always been.

It's said that Glastonbury is the heart chakra of the world, Mount Kailish in Tibet is the crown chakra and Ayres Rock in Australia is the solar plexus.  There are minor chakras too and a star seed intuitive I spoke with in the US also believed (as do I) that Guernsey is one of these - Byron Bay too…
