Selecting a holistic practitioner or spiritual teacher requires more than just examining their professional attire and credentials. To find the right individual to collaborate with, it's essential to ensure they have genuinely invested in their own growth, speak and work from a place of truth and experience, and are committed to continually evolving on their personal journey. I believe that regulations should be stricter concerning spiritual and healing workshops. Both I and

Blackberries are the foragers superfood!  They improving brain function, digestion and regulates blood sugar levels, while preventing cardiovascular disease and cancers. This sweet treat is a real taste of late summer and bring back great childhood memories for me as I used to pick the plumpest and juiciest blackberry which were often out of reach from horseback. I am sure blackberry picking brings back memories for most of you too.

Take some time for yourself and enjoy this 40 minute meditation in the link below to embrace the energy of August and anchor in any intentions you have set within the lionsgate portal and full moon energy.

The beech tree (Fagus Sylvatica) is my personal favorite, exuding feminine energy and a canopy reminiscent of a cathedral. It offers beauty in every season. During this time of year, it provides shade from the day's heat with its wide green leaves and developing nuts in its Mother phase. In Autumn, it puts on a display as its leaves turn yellow and then bronze. Transitioning from Mother to Crone, it sheds its leaves, revealing its wisdom, scars, and curves. You can sense its

Wishing you all Lughnasadh blessings. I hope you get a moment to acknowledge the turn of the wheel in nature. August is a month of bounty, and we are certainly not short this year. Blackberries, crab apples and plums have been ripe for a month, and the rowan trees are dripping with ripe berries. Oak, beech, and hazel trees are laden heavy with nuts, and the sloes are turning purple way too soon!

Lughnasadh (pronounced Loo-na-sah) is a harvest festival, falling between the summer solstice and the autumn equinox within the wheel of the year. This harvest festival celebrates the first fruiting crops and is celebrated on or around 1st August. This fire festival is rooted deep in ancient culture to reflect on the hard work and sacrifice, and the bounty it produced. It was celebrated with athletic games, storytelling, making corn dollies, matchmaking, and rituals.

Animal communication is something we are all capable of, in fact you do it all the time. As an animal intuitive healer and someone who has studied animal behaviour, I recognise that when people talk about animal communication, the ability gets lost in the spiritual language, as most would assume it means having a verbal conversation, but it is far more subtle, but also far more profound than that. Listen to the short audio below to find out more.

The roe deer are in their rutting season now. You may find rings or figures of eight in the soil, particularly around shrubs and trees....

When we were born into this world, we were born with an instinct to survive, just as every creature on this planet does. We were not born...

Wandering home along the New Forest lanes, the woodland edges and verges are lush with bracken in its prime. Tall and adding another layer of green to the landscape, the bracken, although beautiful, poses a significant issue as it rapidly spreads through spores and underground rhizomes. It overshadows other plants and can damage archaeological sites beneath the soil. It becomes a major problem as it encroaches on heathlands, altering habitats and outcompeting rare and special

The cuckoos have now fallen silent since the adults have largely departed for Africa, leaving the young fledglings to be nourished by their host parents until their instincts prompt them to fly as well. Ground-nesting birds are beginning to vacate the heathlands as the fledglings start to become independent and the heather begins to bloom. Water mint blooms vibrantly along damp ditches and brooks, attracting bees, butterflies, and hoverflies. Dragonflies, in their distinctive

Leaving the woods and wandering home along the New Forest lanes, you will see the yellow flowers of   ragwort along the verges. We all know there is an ongoing debate about ragwort within the New Forest, and for good reason. Ragwort is highly toxic to ponies and cattle, and growing up and having a career with horses, I have spent many an hour digging out ragwort from fields in hard ground. However, when ponies and cattle live a wild life as they do here in the forest, with al

July is a moment of rest for the ponies in the New Forest. The foals are getting a little more adventurous and playful, socialising with their friends, giving their mothers a little time to rest and graze amongst the abundant herbs and grasses. July is a short window in the ponies' calendar where there are no drifts or hunting happening in the forest. The stallions are back happily grazing the pastures on the commoners' holdings, and they just have this time to recuperate, re

Have you been putting it out to the universe, your needs and desires, but still not receiving? Have you created the mood boards, written the affirmations, and sent your wishes up in smoke, but still nothing? There is one key you are missing to unlock that flow of abundance coming your way...
