During the process of rediscovering and learning to love myself and understand more about me through my breasts, something which I didn’t plan at a very conscious level occurred and it beautifully, but challengingly disrupted the process altogether…
I fell pregnant. Continue reading “Learning to Love Myself Through My Breasts – My Experience with Breastfeeding”

Sometimes we speak but we are not heard.
Sometimes we are made to feel like what we are expressing is not of importance.
When this occurs it leaves us feeling like we should have not said anything at all and should have remained in silence. I feel that as women we have all done this to some level and it is the silence of not speaking our truth that really hurts us deep inside.
This silencing of ourselves is a form of abuse. It hurts us and it also hurts those around us. Continue reading “Not Speaking Up – Silence: Is That a Form of Self-Abuse?”

I love my job. I work as a beauty advisor in a busy, well-respected health and beauty store in the centre of London. It is an incredible and great learning ground for me.
Every interaction shows me something, and can either energize me or drain me.
This has been shown to me recently in a very clear way since attending one of the Esoteric Women’s Groups hosted by Sara Williams in London. The question was put to us “What is in the Way?”. Continue reading “Standing by Me and Inspiring My Colleagues at Work”

CHILDHOOD SEXUAL ABUSE
When I was 7 years old my mum’s then boyfriend sexually abused me. I told mum at the time and her response was… “He was only trying to make you feel good”. I never spoke of the event again until I was 18. Continue reading “Childhood Sexual Abuse and Abusive Sexual Relationships”

I was recently reminded, at a women’s group I regularly attend, how much we can either disempower ourselves or empower ourselves while being out in the world. Reflecting on this I realised that the choice to disempower has in the past come too readily. Let me explain further.
When I say disempower, what I mean here is that I’ve left my house feeling fairly content with the way I look, the way I feel and with the day ahead of me, then something happens to change that. That something has for me been triggered by: Continue reading “To Disempower or to Empower – That is the Question…”

I hadn’t realized how many choices in my life were made as a girl in ‘waiting’: waiting to find a partner, fall in love, say ‘I do’, become a woman, start a family and grow old with someone. I bided my time as I waited for my marriage to happen, for life to begin.
Actually, I was a polygamist because in between I married my job, my studies, my trips away, my books, my family: these kept me occupied while waiting for the ‘real’ marriage to come. In all of this I totally missed that truly my first marriage is to myself. I always wanted to marry my best friend and shouldn’t that be me?

Self-love is something I have been deepening both my understanding and practice of since becoming a client and student of Universal Medicine about 6 years ago. What I became aware of, particularly through having Esoteric Breast Massages (EBMs), was that one thing stands in the way of self love – self-loathing. I had no trouble recognising this in me for I have been my own worst critic, constantly judging myself, putting myself down, and it has taken time to gently identify and heal the many little (and some big) pockets of self-loathing that have been held in my body.

Esoteric Breast Massages and the Questions I asked Myself
In 2008 at the age of 30, I came across the Esoteric Breast Massage (EBM). At the time I was working in the housing department for a local authority. Here I met people who were homeless or in unsettled living conditions: my role was to assess whether we could provide them with accommodation. By this point, although I was very good at my job and well known for being smart, efficient, understanding and kind to clients, there was no FUN in it for me.

When you look in the mirror what do you see?
Do you scour the blemishes and subtle creases of your face, the way your hair has been groomed to best cover your regrowth and portray your best appearance and the multitude of imperfections from your head to your toes?
Or, do you see and feel the beauty of a woman gazing tenderly back at you? Continue reading “Beautiful Woman Looking Back at Me”

Something changed when I started attending Universal Medicine courses, and in particular, when I heard about the Esoteric Breast Massage (EBM). I remember I felt something unusually special, for some reason I didn’t feel suspicious or think it was strange, I felt I just wanted to find out more, and I did.
