Hello beautiful friends, I am excited to be able Hello beautiful friends, 

I am excited to be able to finally share some happy news with you 🙂 We are expecting a beautiful baby boy! 🩵 

He is due to arrive mid-November so I will be slowing down over here from October, until 1 Feb. 

Practically what this means: 
- My last slots for private sessions will be in September 2026, opening again in February 2027. 
- Our @returntopresence training practice continues as normal. Group consulting sessions & due dates will be automatically extended if these fall over my time off (ie extension from 1 Feb by same amount of time you have left as of 1 October). So you will automatically get extra time to complete where applicable 🤗

You’re so welcome to DM or email me if you have any questions at all on this. We are both well & healthy which I’m so grateful for. Thank you so much for sharing in this joyful time with me! 🫶

My favorite scan so far 😍 deep in a cuddle with the placenta! Too cute for words 🫶 Can’t wait to meet you my precious boy.

As a professionally trained qualitative researcher As a professionally trained qualitative researcher, I care about personal, lived experience. Deeply. I look beyond population level data to understand nuance. Diversity. Minority perspectives. 

And so I’ve been watching… Listening. Curious at the majority perspective. 

And I find myself landing at the same thought over and over: 

Instead of being outraged at the outrage, no matter how well justified, do we care about why the outrage exists? Do we listen to that? Have we listened to that? Do we care as much about the personal, very real, lived experiences, and not just the outrage they’ve resulted in? 

Food for thought.
Nervous system work should never attempt to help y Nervous system work should never attempt to help you cope in abusive relationships, toxic environments, or dysfunctional and harmful family dynamics. 

Why? 

Because a healthy nervous system is connected, open, feeling, curious. All the things toxic environments suppress. 

👉 You are fighting your nervous system and will forever be fighting it, by trying to make it feel safe in an unsafe environment.

Whew 😬 this one always hits me in the gut when I h Whew 😬 this one always hits me in the gut when I hear it. 

So let me be super clear, friends: 

Abuse is *never* your fault. Recognizing and leaving abusive situations is incredibly complex - particularly if abuse was normal growing up. Give yourself grace. Healing and a new path is available no matter how long has passed ❤️‍🩹
