How do you go to sleep?
A big part of my sleep classes is simply talking with the participants about sleep. How we sleep and how to improve it. We often want a quick fix to a problem, a bit like a sticking plaster, and it’s no easy journey delving into the...
Meet my client Paulus, I turned up to teach him and he was very excited to share with me how this new book has changed how he wakes up. I asked if I could record him repeating his enthusiasm as its always better to hear a recommendation first hand. As a teacher I always think that we work better...
Something that often crops up in my sleep classes is the problems with being over committed and busy. Some people might call this ‘living a full life’ and there is nothing wrong with this at all. In fact isn’t it a desired to be doing a lot more of what we enjoy and being happy...
I read somewhere that said that our past is the mother of our present.

It has taken me a while to get here, I really didn’t know where to start. How to access public funds to run free classes in the community.
I saw a flyer looking for local people to provide health and well-being within the community and thought, thats me.
After making an enquiry...
Since the early 2000’s a yoga industry has boomed. Yoga is everywhere.
I am not going to do a book review, but I will share some of my thoughts after attending an event with the author Daniel Simpson to talk about his book, The truth of yoga. Along with a small group of yoga teachers...
A lovely student of mine has packed up, and sold from her home of 30 years and has moved to Scotland. Choosing to rent for a few weeks in an air b+b and taking time to adjust and make decisions.
Having had the experience of the big down size myself and selling my family home I understand about...
We are getting to the end of January and I am wondering how those new year habits have been going.
Dry January and Veganuary are just two that seems to be now an accepted norm.
Everyone knows I love good habits and am all for giving it a go and the tweaking to accommodate our...
