Everyone needs playtime – adults, children and everyone in between.
Playtime for me (given that it is now summertime here in Australia) means water play and swimming. It means loosing myself to the present moment – of swimming, diving and frolicking in the water. I swim underwater and lose myself in the crystalline beauty of the cascading and rising bubbles of air – rising from…

Moving from being a waterfall to a well.
I’m writing this post incorporating both my biggest personal and professional challenges into one discernible and highly interconnected and nuanced issue. I am what you could call a ‘waterfall’ – that is my mind is high output – I readily espouse my ideas, thoughts and feelings, much like a waterfall allows the water to cascade…

Somatic feelings
What makes me experience nostalgia? Quite often it is my body remembering the intrinsic memories, feelings and emotions. I remember a smell that triggers a memory – my mind then recalls that memory (much like a computer system or bookcase where I can retrieve – press play and experience that memory again) Or it may…

They have multiple allergies and food intolerances, and it was determined that meat was an important part of their diet. My husband…

Just imagine…
If you didn’t need sleep, what would you do with all the extra time? I’d delight in the silence of the night – when the rest of the house are busy traversing their dreamscapes and realms. I’d write, organise, work on my photography. I’d read, meditate and laugh (obviously in no particular order) I’d cook,…

It all comes down to comfort.
What are your two favourite things to wear? The first of two favourite items to wear are noise cancelling headphones- they are a literal game changer. The second item would be comfort, that is clothing and shoes that are aesthetically pleasing but also elicit a strong feeling of comfort and ease. This could relate to…

Absolutely
Do you trust your instincts? They have never steered me wrong. Not once – not ever! I believe a lot of instinct comes down to having really effective pattern recognition skills, coupled with high emotional intelligence and resilience. Experiencing trauma can lead to hyper vigilance and being sensitive to subtle and nuanced changes – such…

Why choose?
Beach or mountains? Which do you prefer? Why? Why not an incredible scene where the beach cradles the base of a mountain range? Imagine that you’re driving through gently undulating ranges, ablaze with green valleys and lush wild flowers. Exquisite banks of trees stand together – their roots anchored deep within the fertile earth. Wafts…
