On Tuesday during my show Beyond Birth Trauma – From Burden to Brilliance my guest Sophie Kirkham, a birthing doula and coach, shared her insights on the cyclical nature of birth, the profound impact of separation, and the empowering potential of ancient and modern healing practices.

Marriages and relationships all need nurturing. They all need time and effort to maintain, so that things can keep going smoothly and you don’t lose your mojo with each other. They need consistent time where you’re just focusing on each other. That’s where date nights come in. But what are you doing about your relationship […]
I was so honoured to interview Dr. Helen Orombi on my first solo run of Beyond Birth Trauma – From Burden To Brilliance. She shared profound insights into the impact of generational and cultural conditioning on personal and collective healing. We discussed how our identities and healing journeys are shaped by the layers of experiences […]
The other night, I was looking at wonderful photographs by my friend Helen Roberts.

Happy New Year! It seems like enforced hibernation is upon us! My car is certainly in icy lockdown. After over 30 hours of traveling home from New York due to flight cancellations, re-routing and more delays, and still no bags…plus the snow and ice and events being cancelled….the message seems to be clear, sit still, […]
Happy New Year 2025! Last night my youngest son Roam and his beautiful wife Shenny and I went out to The Eel Bar for an absolutely exquisite dinner. Wild combinations of food that exploded into Heaven in our mouths! It was a festive vibe. During dinner the actual Heavens opened and thunder and lightening along […]
