Every couples journey to conceive is different and Annie’s story begins in the opposite way to that of her big brother. After nearly 4 years of infrequent cycles and ‘unexplained infertility’ Elijah was our little miracle. Having taken a break from ‘trying’ we were both shocked and elated to find that we had managed to […]
Elijahs’ Birth Story
The Preparation As a young girl I had played with my favourite childhood doll ‘Buttercup’ and imagined she was my baby. I changed her nappy, dressed her up and nestled her in my wardrobe which had been converted into a mini nursery. Many women dream of becoming a mother, a time that we feel will […]

New Year, New Intentions
There’s just something special about a new year. A fresh start. A blank page. An opportunity to begin as you wish to continue. It is my absolute favourite time of year. As though the entire ocean expands before me, it represents endless potential and fills me with hope. Beginning is as important as continuation. Placing […]
Altogether Alone
Our society is more connected than ever before. Technology allows us to be united when we are apart, feel joined when we feel disjointed and become included when we are excluded. We are more ‘together’ than we have ever been in history, so why are we feeling so alone? There is a modern epidemic facing […]
Where’s My Spark?
I spent the weekend catching up with a dear friend. A long overdue catch up as we both live busy lives now and don’t see or speak to each other often enough. For the first time in a very long time her light was dim. And she’s not the kind of girl to lose her […]
The Modern Warrior
One of my favourite things to do is challenge the constructs of modern society, and flip current perspectives in pursuit of a full and meaningful life. What does it mean to be a modern day warrior? How can we redefine the labels assigned by the past so that our current paths have new meaning? The […]
Be The Real F**king Thing
Be The Real F**king Thing Caution: there will be expletives today. I have just finished watching Tony Robbins – I Am Not Your Guru. And he points out that expletives are the only way to stop your stream of consciousness and bring you into reality. From someone that doesn’t speak with profanities this makes complete […]
Letting Go Of The Need To Please
During the earlier years my decisions were governed by other people’s perceptions of what my life should look like. Doing ‘the right thing’ and making sure ‘everything happened at the right time’. A great deal of my choices stemmed from expectation; whether school subjects, friendships, extra-curricular activities, university degrees, professionals roles, travel destinations, house ownership, […]
Yoga and Meditation…For Hippies Right?
There is something I really love about students new to yoga. There is an unknowing, a blank canvas ready to be printed, a journey about to begin. So often they are drawn to the practice as a ‘stretch’ for the purely physical benefits, of which there are so many. But when does Yoga stop being […]
