Creating Your Vision

I’m so interested in leadership and observing the changes happening around us, particularly as we move through the pandemic. With so many people having their usual working ‘practices’ changed, either temporarily or permanently, many previously hidden strengths and motivations have shown up. ‘Authentic leadership’ has become a commonly used term, and speaks of us ‘just […]

Why Meditate?

Why Meditate? We get asked this question a lot! Milton Erickson said  “All problems are created when the conscious and unconscious mind are no longer in rapport”.

How we get stuck in an emotion

I hope you, your family and loved ones are safe. Understanding how trauma is installed and the emotional response to it helps us to cope and, better still, transform.
