    Opening Your Heart to Love Ceremony Love isn’t s Opening Your Heart to Love Ceremony
Love isn’t something you have to find — it’s something you have to remember. ✨

In this sacred Opening Your Heart to Love Ceremony, you’ll be guided to rest into your body, breathe deeply, and reconnect with your natural state of love.

So often, we give everything to others and forget to nurture our own hearts. This ceremony is your invitation to slow down, listen inwardly, and rediscover the deep well of compassion that already lives inside you.

It’s a pause in the chaos. A breath of stillness. A reminder that love is right here. 💗

📅 Saturday 15th November

    💞 “Do you still flirt with your partner?” 💞 “Do you still flirt with your partner?”

Most people think flirting only belongs to the early stages of love — those butterflies, the teasing smiles, the spark.
But here’s the secret: flirting is one of the most powerful tools to keep love alive.

In long-term relationships, it’s easy to slip into routine — parenting, planning, problem-solving — and forget the magic of play.
Yet that playful glance across the kitchen, that cheeky smile, that spontaneous “you look good today”… they remind your partner that they’re still seen, still desired, and still chosen.

So next time you’re together, try this:
✨ Catch their gaze and hold it a little longer.
✨ Let your voice soften and tease.
✨ Say something that makes them light up.

Flirting isn’t about seduction; it’s about aliveness.
It whispers, “I still see you. I still want to connect with you.”

When was the last time you flirted with the one you love? 💋

Through guided exercises and meditation, you’ll be invited to soften your defences, open your heart, and experience deeper intimacy — with yourself and with others.

    🌸 “Deep Brain Reorienting — coming home to 🌸 “Deep Brain Reorienting — coming home to the body”

Lately, I’ve been working with a beautiful modality called Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), created by Dr Frank Corrigan — and it continues to amaze me.

In sessions, I guide people to slow right down and listen to the small, quiet signals of the body — the flicker behind the eyes, the tightening in the neck, the flutter that says something old is waking up.

So often, the body is holding stories the mind has long forgotten: moments when our needs weren’t met, when we froze or tried to please, when we learned to survive instead of simply be.

Through DBR, we create a safe space for those places to unwind. The body processes the shock in its own rhythm, and something begins to soften — the breath deepens, the shoulders drop, and the person starts to feel more like themselves again.

I’ve watched clients leave with a new sense of calm and clarity, as if a little more life has come back into their system. And honestly, I feel it too — every time I hold this space, I’m reminded how wise and loving the body truly is.

💗 Sometimes healing doesn’t look dramatic. It’s the quiet return to your own heartbeat.

Have you ever felt your body telling you a story your mind didn’t yet understand?

If you’d like to experience this gentle work for yourself, I’d love to guide you. You can book a one-to-one Deep Brain Reorienting session or add it into a coaching journey — both online and in person.
