✨ RECONNECTION…and getting your head out your a*$✨
At the beginning of the year I promised myself I would make this year the year to really tune into me. Instead of learning new skills to add to my business, be all about my business, I knew it was important to (apologies for the cliche) be the best version of myself, a true version of me! For the past couple of months I have been working with the amazing @louisedickofficial on stepping into my intuition, having a deeper understanding of the energy around me and so much more!
Last night it all clicked into place! I won’t lie, there have been times over the past few weeks I thought I was kidding myself that I could tune in, in the ways I wanted to, but with patience and finally being in the right headspace, it clicked into place. Thank you for your patience Louise!
This headspace wouldn’t be there without the support of another fantastic human being who keeps me in check when I go astray - @businessmentoring.triciamurray . Through business mentoring, as a colleague and as a friend, she reminds me to get my head out my a$* at times - which I do a lot! So basically what started as a post wanting to share how I feel that my intuition is tuned in more than ever, I have to acknowledge the people who have got me to this place.
There are others, but in true perimenopausal style I’ve forgot who they all are! If you’re looking for spiritual development then look no further than @louisedickofficial - she truly is amazing If you have your own business, or want to get your business off to a PROPER start, then @businessmentoring.triciamurray is the mentor for you!

OSTARA CARD PULL
As we welcome the light and the warmth gradually back into our lives I thought I would start my new year as I mean to by introducing a little bit more of me to the page.
In celebration of Ostara where we welcome the return of light and growth and invite in renewal, fertility, and new beginnings (the awakening of nature and the cycle of life), I have pulled three cards, choose the card that calls to you and read my interpretation when reading each card. Using the very apt gorgeous Ostara Deck.
⭐️Interpretations⭐️
1. The Eight of Cups signifies walking away, seeking deeper fulfillment, and leaving behind what no longer serves you. The eight of cups represents emotional growth, soul-searching, and moving toward something more meaningful.
2. The Hierophant represents tradition, spiritual wisdom, and established beliefs. It signifies guidance from a mentor, structured learning, and following conventional paths. The Hierophant invites you to consider the desire for a deeper sense of meaning from life or possibly a call to learn.
3. The Four of Coins / Pentacles represents stability, control, and holding onto resources tightly. It can indicate financial security, but also fear of loss, possessiveness, or resistance to change. The four of coins/pentacles suggests a need for balance between saving and allowing abundance to flow.
Happy Ostara everyone 🧡

Grounding…after burnout
At the end of 2024, I made a promise to myself to take the beginning of the year to bring calm to myself and my business. A kind of New Year’s resolution (but totally telling myself it wasn’t).
The past few weeks have been incredibly busy! I overcommitted, overpromised, and was overambitious. Sound familiar?
Did I succeed? Well, I did take some steps, but then I overcommitted again and took on too many tasks. I’m sure you can relate to that!
The result was mild burnout. I realised pretty quickly that things weren’t going as well as they should have been, and it could have been much worse. It was still challenging, and I had to make difficult decisions that felt like I was letting people down or failing.
In my efforts to reconnect with my yoga roots, I stumbled upon meditation. I was skeptical at first because I had done meditation before and I usually fall asleep during it. But this time, it worked. It was as if the right time, the right approach, or other work I had done to get me to this point clicked.
Another addition to my grounding routine is journaling. I’ll be honest, I’m not as enthusiastic about it, but it does work—even if it’s just to clear my mind.
Now, my daily grounding goals are:
⭐️ Meditation
⭐️ Movement
⭐️ Journaling
These are simple, non-intense practices.
I’d love to hear about any grounding practices you use 🧡

Slowing Down: Breaking the Cycle of Constant Momentum
How has your week been? Have you found time to pause, or has it been another whirlwind of movement—physically, mentally, emotionally?
Lately, I’ve noticed something interesting. Whether in daily life or the classes I’ve been covering (not you lovely Vesta movers, of course!), there’s a theme: we are always rushing. Rushing to appointments, rushing through tasks, and even in movement practices, hurrying to reach the peak pose rather than experiencing the journey.
But here’s the thing—this rushing isn’t always about getting to a physical place. It’s ingrained in us now, a momentum we don’t even question. We’ve been moving at high speed for so long that slowing down feels unfamiliar, even uncomfortable.
For many of us, rushing has become second nature. Perhaps it’s modern life, filled with endless to-do lists, deadlines, and responsibilities. Maybe it’s the pressure to be productive, to keep up, to achieve. Or maybe we just don’t realize we’re doing it. But when we move through life at full speed, we miss so much—the connection to ourselves, to others, to the present moment.
I see it in movement classes all the time. Students eager to reach the “goal” of a pose, moving faster than suggested, missing the subtleties of breath, muscle engagement, and the deep mind-body connection. But what if the real magic isn’t in getting there—but in being here?
A Simple Invitation to Pause
Slowing down doesn’t mean stopping. It doesn’t mean doing less. It simply means being present with what you’re already doing. It can be as simple as:
🌿 Taking your tea or coffee outside and really listening—to the birds, the wind, the sounds around you.
🌿 Walking at a comfortable pace, rather than rushing, and noticing the feeling of your feet on the ground.
🌿 Taking three deep breaths before moving onto the next task.
🌿 Eating a meal without distractions—no phone, no screens, just you and your food.
🌿 Placing a hand on your heart and simply noticing how you feel in this moment.
None of these require extra time—just a shift in awareness.

If this resonates with you, I invite you to try one of these moments of pause today. It doesn’t have to be anything big or forced. Just a small shift, a breath, a moment where you choose to slow down. And if you do, I’d love to hear how it felt for you.

Raynaud’s & How Reflexology Can Help!
🖐️ Raynaud’s & How Reflexology Can Help! ❄️
Do your fingers or toes change colour in the cold? Feel numb and tingly? Or experience pain when warming up? You might be dealing with Raynaud’s Disease, a condition that affects circulation. With February being Raynaud’s Awareness Month I have created the post below to show how Reflexology can help.
✨ Common Symptoms of Raynaud’s:
1️⃣ Colour Changes – Fingers or toes turn white, blue, or red due to poor blood flow.
2️⃣ Cold & Numb Sensation – Affected areas feel icy, numb, or stiff, even in mild temperatures.
3️⃣ Pins & Needles or Pain – As blood flow returns, you may feel a burning, tingling, or throbbing pain.
🦶 How Reflexology Can Support Raynaud’s Sufferers:
✔️ Boosts Circulation – Gentle foot and hand reflexology stimulates blood flow, helping prevent attacks.
✔️ Reduces Stress – Stress is a major trigger for Raynaud’s, and reflexology promotes deep relaxation.
✔️ Supports Nerve Function – Reflexology may help reduce nerve sensitivity, easing discomfort.
Whether you suffer from Raynaud’s or just want to improve circulation, reflexology is a gentle, holistic way to support your body. Give your hands and feet some love today! 💙

Tinnitus Awareness Week: Understanding the Ringing & How Reflexology Can Help!
Ever experienced a ringing, buzzing, or hissing in your ears that just won’t go away? That could be Tinnitus, a condition affecting millions worldwide. It can be frustrating, distracting, and even impact mental wellbeing.

Let’s Talk About Headaches & Migraines
Reflexology works on specific reflex points in the feet, meaning it restores balance, improves circulation, improves sleep quality, eases nervous system tension, and promotes deep relaxation, all of which contribute to headache relief.
And this has meant:
More Energy & Productivity – Without the drain of constant headaches, you can focus better, get more done, and enjoy your daily activities without interruption.
Better Mood & Emotional Well-being – No more stress or frustration from recurring pain, allowing you to feel calmer, more positive, and in control of your day.
Freedom to Live Fully – Enjoy social events, exercise, travel, and time with loved ones without worrying about when the next migraine will strike.
Did you know that Reflexology could provide relief?
Many of my clients find reduction of symptoms through regular reflexology sessions.
Before coming to me my clients have:
Reached for painkillers to ease the pain of a migraine or the dull ache of a tension headache.
Exhausted at how disruptive their migraines and headaches have been.
Dreaded the monthly hormonal migraine making an appearance.
I know that migraines and headaches can really affect your mood, sleep, your wellbeing! I’ve been there too - coming out the other side right now actually!
Through regular and consistent reflexology - it can provide a natural approach which helps you to achieve long-lasting relief.
