Illogical or even irrational events and experiences could affect you and shake your sense of control. Or instead of external events, it might be an internal transformation that’s taking place.

Although this time may seem uncomfortable, it’s meant to be an initiation that will ultimately transform you….

In astrology, Dark Moon Lilith represents an enigmatic and deeply transformative energy, offering insight into our rawest, most instinctual selves.

If you’re around 40–41 years old and feeling a bit (or a lot) lost, confused, or like your world has been flipped upside down, you might just be in the middle of what astrologers call the Neptune square Neptune transit. This is when slow-moving Neptune hits a 90 degree angle compared to where it was when you were born- a key transit where it’s energy is amplified…

We live in a world that often labels sensitivity as a weakness – something to suppress, manage, or hide away. But what if sensitivity is not a flaw to fix, but a gift to celebrate?

For the sensitive ones, the world doesn’t just pass by – it moves through us. I experience this every day - from my dentist telling me I’m way too sensitive to having to wear ear plugs at the cinema because it’s just too loud… to crying at seemingly random short clips on TV… see below for my top tips to manage sensitivity in a noisy world…

Life moves in 7 year cycles. It takes approximately 7 years for all the cells in our body to be renewed. ⁠It takes 4 of these cycles to be completed for a Saturn return to happen. (Your first one is around age 29). ⁠⁠Approximately every 7 years (depending on retrogrades) we see an important shift as a new aspect is made…

Over the last year, I've done a lot of shadow work - going through cancer means you are basically forced to confront many different elements of yourself as you are literally put in many challenging situations - so I saw it as a growth opportunity, but over a year later, I'm still reeling from it.

Chiron is also connected to rebirth and letting go of old burdens or misguided beliefs we may have formed when younger. Sometimes I find it helps to understand the bigger picture.

Instead, they were part of a cosmic plan, calling you to awaken, heal, and transform into the truest version of yourself. This is your Chiron Cycle… and here is my very personal experience of it…

You may hear people talking about accessing the 5th dimension and wonder what they are actually talking about… we are going through a planetary shift right now. It’s something I’ve been learning a lot about over the last year…

Have you heard of a book called 'The Fourth Turning'? The Authors Neil Howe and William Strauss describe a concept called the 'Saeculum'. It is an ancient unit of time that spans roughly 80 to 100 years. The idea is that the cycle of human affairs approximates the length of a long human life, with four phases during this time period each around 20-25 years long…

As you approach your Chiron Return, a profound and transformative astrological transit that occurs around ages 50-51, you’re stepping into one of the most empowering phases of your life.

This isn’t just a midlife moment—it’s a soul invitation to embody the archetype of the Wise Woman, the radiant leader within you who carries deep wisdom, compassion, and courage. Whether you’re already in the midst of this transition or preparing for it in the years ahead, your Chiron Return holds the potential to unlock incredible personal power and healing.

When I first started working with a somatic therapist, I didn’t know what to expect. It felt strange at first—less like “therapy” and more like tuning into parts of myself I hadn’t fully paid attention to. We’d speak for about half an hour, then I’d get on the therapy bed and she’d do the physical work on my body that felt like a cross between Osteotherapy, massage, and trigger point release. It was often uncomfortable, but in a way that I knew it would bring relief.

Each time we have a full moon, it will land in a different part of your Astrological chart- tuning into this can give you insights into how you can best work *with* this natural cosmic energy rather than against it. This is my quick intro guide to tap into your birth chart

Going through stage 3 Bowel Cancer when I was 39 changed everything for me, but maybe not in the most obvious ways. What has emerged after the dust has settled is definitely a lot more clarity on what I actually care about. Clarity on what truly matters and what I believe my ‘purpose’ is…

Back in February I was diagnosed with ADHD. I had suspected it for a while, but there is so much stigma around it.

I had initially started looking into it after thinking there was a possibility my son may have a leaning toward ADHD…
