In my youth, while working in retail administration on Oxford Street, I was asked or coerced into doing a stock take once the store had closed one evening. For reasons that, to this day, baffle me, the stock take took all night. The manager gave our small team cash to get a cab home. I emerged onto an eerily quiet Oxford Street, with the sun peeking over the buildings. 

I managed to raise my tired arm to hail a black cab. The driver pulled over. I told him where I wanted to go and I slumped into the seat ready to be whisked off to my warm, comfortable bed. Before I could properly settle in, I saw the cab driver hesitate. Then he turned around to me and said, “You’ll need to pay up front.” I beg your pardon?!

A few months ago, in a digital cleansing moment of clarity, I decided that I wanted to have a zero-email inbox. Scanning through the emails that were cluttering my inbox, I began to notice a clear pattern. Many of them represented procrastination and indecision. 

Every day I was opening my inbox and entering a space where progress and action had come to die. Apart from the few emails that were genuinely awaiting responses, the rest were things I could probably action in five minutes but avoided. Some things were labelled with various beautiful colours but they still served no purpose beyond taking up space in my inbox and mind.

As a strategist and practitioner who helps people streamline their personal and professional lives, my own inbox was an embarrassing affront to productivity. Interestingly, despite the many social media tools that exist today, emails are still an invaluable method of communication - either for receiving information or sharing information with clients.

However, I had disconnected my inbox from the tools I use to organise information, consolidate tasks and interact with clients. More importantly, it was no longer supporting how I understand and manage my business.

Most days, I log in to Spotify and dive into my Chill playlist. It is a collection of over 1300 songs built up over almost ten years. As the name suggests, the Chill playlist contains songs that have quite a slow, mellow tempo: Neo-Soul, R&B, soft rock, soul, reggae, jazz, classical, and indie. It is the type of music I can have in the background when I am doing light work. 

Rest has become my word of the year. In a culture that glorifies constant doing, many of us are tired yet struggle to stop. This piece explores what happens when productivity starts to cost us our health, clarity and connection, and why rest is not indulgence but essential maintenance.

The more time I spend on this planet, the more I have come to really appreciate communication. I have also come to realise that good, clear communication is an underrated ability and underused skill. What causes us to miscommunicate and how do we improve our interactions?

Is wellness only for those who can afford it, or is it something everyone deserves? This article explores the growing "wellness paywall" and uncovers how true wellness focuses more on balance, community, and simple joys than on luxury price tags.

Holistic health is an approach to wellness that considers the whole person – mind, body, and spirit – in the pursuit of optimal health and wellness. Unlike conventional medicine, which often focuses on treating symptoms and diseases, holistic health aims to address the root causes of health issues and promote overall well-being.

Emotional releases are an important and normal part of the treatment and healing process. However, they are often the thing we fear the most. How can our emotions help us to heal?

When trying to describe what happens during and after a Cranio-Sacral Therapy or Sound Healing session, I often tell people they may experience emotional releases. Before I can finish saying this is a normal part of the healing process, I can see people recoiling in horror. While it is not my intention to make my client’s cry or experience feelings of anger, these emotions are valid and when not expressed, can manifest in seemingly unrelated situations, or in physical patterns such as jaw clenching or digestive disturbances. Emotional releases can be incredibly insightful and help us to better understand patterns of behaviour that prevent us from moving forward with our relationships or goals.

Golf may look like a leisurely, non-strenuous way to pass the time, and for the most part, it is. However, many muscles and joints are used that may become prone to injury or strain over time. Common injuries include elbow tendinitis, rotator cuff or shoulder pain, knee pain and injuries to the wrists.

Cranio-Sacral Therapy is a gentle bodywork therapy that is used to treat a wide range of physical and emotional issues. The name comes from cranio - referring to the cranium or the skull, and sacral - referring to the sacrum bone at the base of the spine. The craniosacral system consists of the structures of the central nervous system (CNS) —the brain, the spinal cord, as well as the membranes and fluids that surround and protect these structures. Within these structures is found a clear fluid known as cerebrospinal fluid which supplies nutrients to the CNS and flows from the cranium to the sacrum. Here are a few ways in which Cranio-Sacral Therapy may support you no matter where you are on the road to becoming the next LPGA or PGA champion.

Mercury in retrograde gets a bad rap and causes many people to retreat into their homes. Do we need to take a step back and rethink how we view this chaotic time?

April is Stress Awareness Month. Stress may affect us all at some point in our lives. What is it and what tools can we put in place to reduce its effects?

Spiritual hygiene refers to practices and rituals that help maintain and cleanse your spiritual well-being. Just as we nourish our mental and physical health, so too can we take care of our spiritual health to reduce fatigue, a depleted nervous system, the susceptibility to recurrent colds or other illnesses, and burnout. 

Over the years, my spiritual hygiene practice has evolved and I use various tools so I can adapt accordingly to the situation or any time constraints. 

Spiritual hygiene is particularly important for people who work closely with clients in a therapeutic setting, such as massage therapists or energy healers. However, the following tools can be employed by anyone as they navigate the day to day challenges of life or if you are embarking on a healing journey.
