Returning to work after a much-needed week off with my husband reaffirms the things I do daily in my role as a nature therapist. We spent...

Did you work out who the mystery guest was this morning on BBC radio Solent? Listen here

On the 21st, we will celebrate the summer solstice or Litha, which is an Anglo Saxon name for midsummer marking the longest day of the year. The summer solstice is a moment to pause and appreciate nature's abundance. Throughout spring, we've been occupied with family activities, spring cleaning, initiating new projects, and pushing ourselves to the limit, much like nature. Nature has dedicated all her energy to growth; trees have unfurled their leaves, flowers and herbs have

And breathe..... I am gradually easing towards a week off, and instead of abruptly stopping, I've been mindful of taking an hour now and...

June is about light, abundance and taking some time to rest in the sun. Enjoy the presentation below which explores the flora and fauna,...

Among the dead wood in the woodlands, stag beetles emerge. Stag beetles spend the majority of their lives underground as larvae. They feed on decaying wood and old stumps in the ground, below ground level. This is why, more often than not, they are found in woodlands, gardens, and parks. Male stag beetle

I walked between sunshine and showers amongst the heavy skies and wartime history. It's astonishing to think that Stoney Cross used to be...

While the pine cones are green this time of year, pick a handful, leaving plenty for the tree and wildlife, and add them to a jar. Layer...

The month of long days and good weather (hopefully!) The last of the New Forest foals are arriving, and the stallions remain present. Wildflowers and wildlife are plentiful. Young birds are fledging the nests, and nightjars are churring on a warm June evening. The lush woodland provides consistent shade for ponies, and froglets are moving from ponds to moist ground. June is a time to celebrate Father's Day and the beginning of astrological summer on the 21st. The full moon, c

We had some lovely walks in beautiful weather during May. We walked through the bluebell wood, walked the ancient Hillfort of Clearbury...

If you're not a believer, you might want to skip this post. We're about to delve into some "woo-woo" territory in the audio below. Since some of you have asked, I decided to explain the difference between a ghost and a spirit, and how we can assist ghosts in letting go of their ties to the physical world.

When it comes to intuition and healing, many people look externally, but you cannot unlock the magic of either unless you connect with your body. I observe people meditating to their guides but still don't connect with them. They return to holistic healers time and time again, but still don't heal. Or even have talk therapy and still feel anxious or traumatised. The reason these things are not working is not because of the therapist or guided meditation, but because you are n

Today, I took a walk to recce the Ober Heath walk for the beginning of June, but I was lucky enough to be joined by my very good friend...

Lords and ladies are wild plants that grow on woodland edges and verges. These incredible plants have many common names such as cuckoo pint and cows and bulls.

The modest daisy is frequently underestimated, yet it possesses significant power. Daisies contain as much vitamin C as a lemon and have anti-inflammatory qualities. They can soothe sore throats and mouth ulcers and support the digestive system. To enjoy these benefits, daisies can be infused in hot water and consumed as tea. Additionally, they are excellent for external use as a wound healer. Closely related to arnica, when applied as a balm, they can alleviate sore muscles

What a beautiful day to be walking among the blossoms and blooms of the forest. The warm sunshine and gentle breeze brought the delicious...

During May the hedgerows are laden with blossom and the scent of nature, where birds flit in and out of the dense foliage to feed a brood of hungry chicks and pollinators make the hedgerows hum. Cuckoos are in full voice and trees are starting to grow verdant with unfurled leaves and flowers. Woodland verges are peppered with wood anemones, bluebells, stitchwort, celandines and wood sorrel, where deeper into the ancient woodland garlic is flowering and cubs are coming above g
