It’s pretty easy to take a pill, but delving deep into your shadow to discover the core wounds, the root cause of the issues, this takes a LOT of work and dedication to your own healing journey.

It is SO IMPORTANT to look after your mental health as it can affect your physical health and even be the cause of disease in the body. We are all one system with many interconnected parts. There is no shame in needing help with your mental health, any more than dealing with your physical health.

Let’s work together to get rid of the stigma around mental health issues. You are not weak, you are not CRAZY! You are unwell and you need support.

Your triggers show you that there are deep seated stuff to work through, so don’t just mask the symptoms and numb the pain - you need to HEAL!

Healing allows for better relationships and life situations, as well as better overall health.

If you are on medication for your mental health issues, you also need to do the inner work. Find the support that works best for you.

Creative therapies work wonders to assist you on your healing journey, so don’t be afraid to reach out - YOU ARE STRONG and thus takes COURAGE!

Find stillness in each day. Quiet your mind. If you find this difficult, you may find that doing an active meditation is helpful.

Active meditation is when you are doing something that allows you to quiet your mind - activities such as drawing/doodling, playing music, going for a walk in nature.

These are all ways to quiet the mind. So if you find seated meditation a challenge, try an ACTIVE MEDITATION.

TRANSFORMATION begins by going within… Start by

TRANSFORMATION begins by going within…

Start by EXPLORING what your triggers are…

Become more AWARE of what triggers you and start exploring why you think you are triggered - what is at the core of this?

Do you feel Betrsyed? ABANDONED? LACKING CONTROL?

Really sit with the emotions and unpack them. Where and when did this wound first appear?

YOU hold the power to transform your life!
No one else can do this for you!

I can help you by giving you some TOOLS, but ultimately you are the only one that can really do this work.

GO EASY ON YOURSELF, most of us have wounds that need to be healed.

Remember this vulnerability in all of us and this knowledge can help us to forgive those who we feel have hurt us in our past. We can have compassion in the knowing that most of us have wounds in need of healing, and we have triggers that might set us off.

You can still have boundaries, you don’t need to condone bad behaviour, but you can have compassion to allow for forgiveness and healing.

Sending love to all 💕🦋🌀

The Green Tree Frog is a symbol of growth, renewal and transformation. It can also symbolize good luck on the way 🍀 🐸

There is something magical about creating somethin

There is something magical about creating something beautiful from foraged materials, found while out in nature.
There is a deep sense of connection to nature, to your ancestors, and to source energy.
It is an opportunity to really step into flow and allow the beauty to unfold before your eyes, and there is always an element of the unknown, where we are guided by an inner knowing and trust in the unseen.
Creating is really a spiritual practice, where we can allow a deeper sense of self, of knowing, and of connection to all that is 🌀🦋🙏

COLOUR IS HEALING ❤️‍🩹 You may notice wh

COLOUR IS HEALING ❤️‍🩹
You may notice when you look at my grid that I predominantly stick to hues of blues and greens. These colours have been scientifically proven to have a calming effect, while colours such as bright orange and red excite the heart.

When I first delved into investigating the link between creativity and wellbeing 25 years ago, I researched colour therapy and also looked at movement within colours.

Cool and dark colours appear to move away from you, while bright and warm colours seem to come towards you. Red stays where it is. It makes sense that those colours that move away from you give you space and allow you to breathe, and are therefore healing and calming.

Colours can also be very subjective in the way they affect the individual, as sometimes they can relate to specific memories that trigger a certain response.

I use colour in art therapy practice, and it can also be useful to notice what colours you are drawn to as these maybe indicative of what you are in need of.

One Jungian inspired tool that I employ is to keep a daily journal of mandala drawings. Use a side plate to draw a circle on the page, then starting in the centre, just draw whatever you feel. If you make a daily practice of those, you start to see emerging themes and collours that can lead to greater awareness and healing.

If you would like to explore the healing power of colour in 1:1 art therapy session, comment COLOUR below in the comments, or jump into my DMs🎨❤️‍🩹🦋

You can INSTANTLY change your mood by moving your body!
SO MUCH TRAUMA IS HELD IN THE BODY! SHAKE IT OFF! Whether you go for a jog, do Yoga, or dance in your kitchen (like me), the main thing is that you get moving to shift the energies 💫
Last week was big with all the energies in the cosmos, did anyone else feel it? Did anyone experience any endings, arguments, feeling aggravated or triggered?
We all are responsible for how we feel - others can’t make you feel a certain way if you don’t let them. YES! YOU ARE IN CONTROL OF YOUR ENERGY - if it’s not feeling good, do something to shift it rather than acting out or projecting your trauma onto others.
Take back your power and be aware of and responsible for how you feel.
My go to is either doing something creative, going out in nature, or just putting on some music and dancing like no one is watching!
Music credit @alanis from her album Jagged Little Pill - a classic that I used to listen to a lot in the 90s. I hadn’t listened to it for ages! I enjoyed listening and dancing to it 3 decades later!

I started this harvest basket a couple of weeks ago and just got around to finishing off the final touches yesterday.
This is made entirely with foraged materials from nature. The basket is mainly done using intuitive weaving with Bangalow Palm inflorescence, with a bit of native wisteria vine around the rim and decorated with sea holly and protea flowers.
I have been a little quiet here as I sometimes find I need to step away from the social media platforms and just be my little creative self IRL. Just like the ebb and flow of the ocean, I feel the need to pull away at times, while other times I surge ahead.
I ALLOW myself to ‘ebb’ when I need to, so that I can come back into FLOW more easily.
The polarities of life!
It’s important to allow yourself to work within your own natural rhythm and take time to just BE 🙏🌿🌀

Avoid feelings of disappointment by staying unattached to a particular outcome so that you can allow things to unfold the way the Universe wants them to unfold for you. What doesn’t flow needs to be let go of, rather than trying to force things to go a particular way.

I love this little central alter, so earthy! I use this gorgeous handmade bowl to burn my smudging herbs, such as rose petals, patchouli leaves and white sage.
Center yourself, set your intentions with an open heart and mind! It’s just nice to add a bit of ritual to your day, creating sacred space, even if it’s just for you 💕

This Saturday, 21st September!
When you learn to weave intuitively, you can make whatever you can imagine from found natural materials.
Most weaving workshops teach you one way of weaving.
This full day retreat allows you to learn how to weave using your intuition so that you can understand how to create what you imagine, allowing the materials to inspire and guide you. Follow this link to our website, and see all the details for this event.

There is beauty in creating something… in the actual process of creating.
You don’t have to be ‘good at” making art because just doing it is GOOD FOR YOU!
Release the judgement, release control over outcome, and just get lost in the JOY of creating something that wasn’t there before 🌀🌿🦋

Beneath the gums, nature holds her ancient wisdom, and reminds us that healing is all around us if we can sit in the stillness to receive. Nature is nurturing and grounding to our spirit, inspiring our heart song and restoring our magic. 🌿✨

Protect your inner peace ☮️ There is nothing

Protect your inner peace ☮️
There is nothing more important to your WELLBEING
If you are feeling upset, disappointed, stressed, or anxious, change your energy through dancing, listening to or making music, doing art, going into nature, doing what you love!
No one is worth the cost of your inner peace. You can not feel peaceful in situations that are not meant for you to stay in.
Put your peace first 🙏☮️💗

Us humans can get quite attached to a particular outcome, so when things don’t go exactly as we hoped, it can bring in feelings of disappointment.
I’ve been there for sure!
But I make sure I don’t LIVE there… and by this I mean that I recognize that I am attaching to an outcome instead of ALLOWING things to FLOW…
This is actually the problem.
Explore different ways of looking at the situation and look for the good in the situation (it may not always feel like it, but the good is always there), then you can see the beauty in those things that turn out differently to how you had originally hoped they would.
Your INNER PEACE is so important to your overall health, so don’t allow things to bring you down, instead look for what you gain.
