Soul Beautiful

What does your soul need this week?

Maybe you need to move, maybe you need to be still.

Maybe you need to dance and accidentally do some cardio or maybe you need to feel strong, breathe a little deeper or trust your intuition.

You don’t have to choose what you think you should be doing.

Choose what feels good for you this week.

We’ll meet you there 🤍

Under all the noise, you are still there!

Today is World Mental Health Day, and I'm sharing something personal. Not for sympathy, but because someone might need reminding that change really is possible.

For as long as I can remember, anxiety was part of my life.

As a little girl, I never quite felt like I belonged. As I grew older, anxiety became all-consuming.

Panic attacks, pressure on my chest, a constant lump in my throat, a stomach that never settled and a mind that wouldn't give me a moment's peace.

I wasn't just worrying about life, I was frightened of it.

I spent years desperately searching for something to make it stop. Spending money I didn't have on treatments, hoping something would finally give me five minutes of peace inside my own head.

There were days so dark I genuinely didn't think I could carry on. Days when I planned how I might end it.

That's difficult to share, but it's part of my story.

The woman I was back then couldn't possibly have imagined the woman I am today.

She couldn't imagine feeling comfortable in her own skin, laughing freely and genuinely loving life, but somewhere beneath all that noise, she was still there.
And she held on!

My journey wasn't quick or easy, there was no miracle cure. It took time, support, inner work and discovering Reiki, yoga and meditation, practices that helped me reconnect with myself.

Slowly, the fear became quieter.

Eventually, I wasn't just surviving anymore, I was living.

Of course I still worry, but that constant fear that once controlled everything has faded to a whisper.

And that freedom is extraordinary!

It's why creating a welcoming, safe space at Soul Beautiful means so much to me.

So if you're struggling, please hear this.
The way you feel today doesn't have to be the way you feel forever.

Your path might look different from mine. There is no shame in seeking help and finding what works for you.

I wish I could tell that frightened younger me about the beautiful life waiting for her.

I'd tell her how proud I am that she stayed.

Under all the noise, you are still there.

There is so much of your story still waiting to be written.

Today is potent!!

10.10.10 Portal - The Libra New Moon

There's something rather beautiful about the symbolism of today's date.

10.10.10. Three tens, a New Moon in Libra and an invitation to consider what balance really means for us in our lives.

In numerology, ten represents both completion and new beginnings. The closing of one chapter and the possibilities of another.

Libra energy brings our attention to balance, relationships, fairness and harmony. However the most important relationship we can reflect on is the one we have with ourselves.

Balance doesn't always mean giving everything equal attention.

Sometimes it means recognising where we're giving too much of ourselves.

Where we've confused keeping the peace with being at peace.

Where we've said yes when everything within us wanted to say no!!

& where we've become so busy meeting everyone else's needs that we've stopped listening to our own.

New Moons are traditionally associated with intention setting, but I don't think every new beginning needs a grand plan or a list of things to achieve.

Sometimes an intention can be as simple as choosing to stop abandoning yourself in the process of showing up for everyone else.

So today, rather than asking what more you want to bring into your life, ask yourself-

What would I need to change to feel more at peace within it?

A little moment of reflection for this Libra New Moon.

A reminder that you deserve to be included in the balance you're trying so hard to create.

One last evening of Oracle Insight for 2026.

There will be one more morning session in November, but Friday 16th October is our final evening together this year.

Oracle Insight isn’t about predicting the future or having all the answers.

It’s about learning to trust yourself a little more.

Learning how to work with the cards, noticing what comes up before reaching for the guidebook, asking better questions and giving yourself the space to actually listen.

You don’t need experience.

You don’t need to be “psychic”.

You definitely don’t need to know what you’re doing before you walk through the door.

So if evenings work better for you and you’ve been meaning to come along, this is your last chance to join us for one in 2026.

Friday 16th October.

Come and see what the cards have to say. Book your space on the booking system.

Available from w/c 26th October. A beautiful treatment room or office space with lots of light from the original windows.

Our wonderful Kate Elizabeth_Makeup is expanding her business into the other room we had available, all very exciting. So we now have her current room available.

This space is ideal for an established business and would work for a variety of uses. Whether you need creative space, office space, therapy space. Nail technician, Lash technician, Holistic practitioner come and have a look around.
You would be joining a wonderful team of incredible businesses in our stunning surroundings.

I wasn’t planning on posting again today, but this isn’t just something I’m hearing locally. I’m seeing it increasingly across social media too, including from people who have built successful and lucrative careers within the very spiritual and wellness practices they are now condemning.

Honestly! I find it deeply disappointing.

I’ve spent many years practising, studying and teaching both Reiki and yoga, and I care deeply about the integrity of both.

You don’t have to practise them, you don’t have to understand them & you certainly don’t have to agree with everything I believe or teach.

But fear-based rhetoric? Labelling practices “demonic”, particularly when you have previously taught, promoted or profited from those same practices?

I think that deserves a conversation.

People are absolutely allowed to change, beliefs change, lives change & everyone has the right to walk away from something that no longer aligns with them, in fact I would encourage that.

But changing your beliefs doesn't require you then frightening or shaming the people who continue to practise differently.

Perhaps what disappoints me most is that when I came into this industry, I expected better from a community that talks so much about kindness, compassion, healing and holding space.

Those values are easy when everybody agrees with you.

Surely they matter even more when they don’t?

So yes, I’m speaking up!

Not to create drama, not to attack anybody, but because integrity matters to me & some things are worth saying out loud.

There is no advanced pose.

There is time.
There is practice.
There is consistency,
& there is presence.

I don’t believe in levels or a hierarchy of poses.

My anatomy is completely individual to me, just as yours is to you.

There are shapes my body finds naturally. There are others it has taken years for me to explore.

There will be poses that suit your body beautifully that may never suit mine.

That isn’t a failure or limitation for any of us.

We are simply not all built the same & thank goodness for that!

Sometimes the pose that asks the most of you won’t look impressive at all.

It might be sitting in stillness when your mind desperately wants the distraction.

It might be staying with the rhythm of your breath when every part of you wants to move.

It might be lying in Savasana and allowing yourself to do absolutely nothing.

That requires strength & flexibility too. Just not necessarily the kind we can see.

Physical flexibility can help you fold your body into beautiful shapes.

Mental flexibility allows you to meet yourself exactly where you are!

Being able to do the splits doesn’t make my practice more advanced than yours.

Being able to truly stop, soften, listen and integrate might be some of the deepest work we ever do on a yoga mat.

Yoga isn’t a ladder.

There is no pose waiting at the top.

There is simply your body, your mind, your breath and your willingness to be present with all three.

That's what makes it beautiful.
