25.01.2022 My gorgeous stepdaughter Eden came into my life when she was 7 years old. Eden is exceptionally creative, a strong performer and an incredibly loyal friend. Watching her grow up has been fascinating. She had a natural ability with varied sports, singing, dancing and karate. Something I was always in awe with having no natural sporting skills at all. I have been fortunate to witness her grew into her now adult self. For the past six weeks she has been staying with us. She mov...ed out of home when she was 18 and is now 22! Although we have seen her over the last four years, she has not always been close by. Now we are enjoying bike rides, evening meals and lots of movies and moments together. Turns out she is a keen baker and an expert dog walker. I am enormously grateful to have shared so much life with four dynamic, sensitive, caring children, well, now young adults. They have taught me much about relationships and I am continually learning from them. I remember my younger self. Feeling so inarticulate and lacking in relationship skills and all round confidence. I loved children and was naturally drawn to people, but didn’t believe I could have a relationship let alone children. Well, fast forward all these years and my heart is full with gratitude. Late last year I wrote my first book on relationships, link in bio if you are interested. I am looking forward to sharing more books. Who have been your greatest teachers of relationships? #loveyourrelationships #alwayslearning #appreciationpost #gratitude #love #insight #life

25.01.2022 GUIDED MEDITATION has supported me in MANY ways. After a session I feel clearer, lighter, relaxed, open, inspired and best of all, I SLEEP better! Consistency is key.... A regular time, continually showing up. WHY? With regular practise it becomes easier to eliminate energy which you have absorbed from the world/others/stress and importantly RECONNECT with your authentic energy. I have witnessed how despite external stress you may be experiencing in your life itt works. YOU have the ability to be supported and loved in YOUR own energy. You will notice you become more aware, you react differently and your relationship with yourself will improve, which impacts ALL areas of your life. WORK, RELATIONSHIPS, HEALTH. To name a few. Your calmness benefits you, and everyone around you. But don’t do it for them! DO it for You!! I have witnessed many people experience powerful insights, healing and a deeper understanding of themselves through guided meditation. I first started running GUIDED MEDITATIONS in 2011. Common feedback is profound experience healing I sleep better I feel so much calmer "profund experience" If you would like to find out more about my uique guided mediation groups I am offering for 2021, please let me know. ALL LEVELS of experience welcomed. CREATE FOUNDATIONS in your life that SUPPORT YOU to THRIVE.

25.01.2022 Happy Friday Friends!

22.01.2022 Working the old fashion way with pen and paper. Wearing my favourite @charmoffinchesband T-shirt and loving having my co-worker always by my side. How about you? Xx

21.01.2022 On the weekend I shared with my husband how if my younger self was to know one day I would live with a ragdoll cat (who I think is the cutest in the world), two dogs which are gentle, loving and intelligent, a husband who is playful, enchanting and funny, AND that I would be a mother and a step mum to wise caring, creative young adults, who INSPIRE and teach me, I would have been over the moon!! After a week spending time with family, I am honestly filled up with joy and gratitude. What was the life you imagined for yourself when you were younger?

20.01.2022 Many people share with me how they believe they would benefit from meditation. Yet, they find it too hard to fit into their busy lives. Or ... hard to be still. Or they worry that they won’t be able to do it. I understand. Life is busy. Lots is happening. It’s common for someone to say I know it’s what I need Or It would be good for me Or I will do it one day What stops you from doing what you feel you would greatly benefit from? I am curious. Is it others? Everything else is more important? Fear? Lack of motivation? Uncertainty? Perfectionism? Is there something you would like to do that you are putting off? I first started meditating as a way of coping. It immediately soothed my nervous system. It heightened my awareness. I felt clearer. Calmer. It was a necessity. A way for me to change gears. To tune in. To tune out. One of my first experiences of meditating in nature was lying on a large warm rock at Wilson’s Prom. I couldn’t believe how good it felt! I was supported, I felt connected. I felt peaceful. The memory is still with me. I remind myself today of this feeling. And commit to giving myself more of it. How about you?

20.01.2022 There have been times where my gentle self has been misunderstood, And I felt too frightened to be seen. There have been times where my gentleness has been confused with weakness, or consider to be a lack. ... Yet, When I am gentle, my self defence melts away. It supports me greatly in my relationships. When I am gentle, my body feels relaxed and soft. When I am gentle, I am available to listen with my whole heart. I appreciate being gentle deeply. As it supports me daily. What supports me to be gentle? Creating a healthy environment within ~ this has taken time and patience. Living in a healthy environment with those who love and appreciate my gentle self ~ I am grateful. Listening to my body and LOVING my body ~ my body speaks clearly. Honouring my intuition ~ trusting myself. Removing pressure to be perfect. Observing nature, learning from it, immersing myself in it. Being inspired by my children By those I meet Learning from my animals. Always. How do you feel about being gentle? What supports you in being gentle?

19.01.2022 Recognise your own pace. I like to describe this as a rhythm. This is your natural way of BEING in the world. How you move, how you process, how you sleep, even how you eat. ... If you have done a meditation with me, you will have heard me speak about this. Why? Because it’s important! Honouring your rhythm can take time and patience. Be kind to yourself. Imagine a child ALWAYS being dragged around for someone else’s agenda. Rushed to be ready and never having the space to identify their own needs. Odds are they feel overwhelmed and disconnected. Learning to respect your pace will support you to feel a greater sense of connection and a deeper sense of satisfaction in your relationships. It will improve the quality of your work. Your current pace may be influenced by the environment you are in, your past environments or even the people you are spending time with. GIVE yourself permission to slow down. Eliminate what you can. Reflect. What happens when you rush? Long term affects on your nervous system Adrenal stress Increased stress on your body Less awareness Reduced intuition Feelings of less connection impacts breathing More human error More accidents Increased anxiety What are the benefits of respecting your pace? Increased awareness improved health inspiration More able to focus body unwinds healing a greater sense of space healthy relationships stronger intuition healthy boundaries What can you do right now which will support your pace? What is your natural rhythm ? #healthyliving #slowliving #healing #energy #intuition #unwind #awareness #intimacy #relationships #rhythm #yourpace #relaxation #meditation #connection #communication #listening #trueyou #respect #lifechanging

18.01.2022 I smiled as I opened our front door, noticing my shoes, not quite making it onto the rack, my beach bag, sun hat and brand new wet suit taking most of the space, ready to go. My cat grass , which I grew from seed for Thomas during lock down, he sniffed it once and has since ignored it. My large shell, a gift from a dear friend WAY back. I have been placing it in the same spot for more than 22 years. ~ it’s finally made it closer to the ocean! YAY!! ... Look closely and you will see a Lama, a pressie from Morgan. On the day he bought it, he called telling me enthusiastically he had a LAMA for me. I for some reason thought he meant a Dalai Lama statue or at least a LIVE Lama.’ The thongs were a necessity I purchased in Byron bay, five years ago. I went for basic black, when I got to the counter I found they were the only pair in the shop that were extra money, they supported a charity. The store keeper was so grateful to me, I ended up purchasing the ONE pair that were well above cost. Then there are ALL my comfy shoes, essential of course, investing in shoes which support my feet is really important to me. (One pair are made out of recycled bottles! - a gift from my kids ) My fairy statue, I am unsure how long I have had her for, or where she came from, but we suit each other well. Finally, a pair of Morgan’s shoes, just one. He mostly wears fins these days. I can see a pair of what look like shoe inserts, must be Morgan’s and a cute plant, generously given to me from a neighbour back in Castlemaine. It’s lovely BEING ok with how things are. Not wanting to change, or rearrange. To let things be, to RELAX. I can feel my ability to be ok with everything not being perfect has changed. Which includes myself, my relationship, my house, etc, ect, etc. It feels peaceful. I feel content. It ALL makes me feel happy! What’s at your front door? How do you feel about it?

17.01.2022 I am thrilled to be taking part in the seven sisters festival. It is all online and sounds amazing! So many incredible speakers, healers, therapists and more! First round tickets are available until Monday evening 9pm. Afterwards at a slightly higher cost second round tickets are available. October 16th - 18th! I would love to see you there! With love,

16.01.2022 Morgan and I spent time on the weekend taking photos for my website. (It’s time for an update! ) We had a lot of fun taking the photos but will try again when we next have space. Here are a few fun shots. How do you feel about having your photo taken? #keepingitlight #ridiculousfun #ourownworld #funtogether

15.01.2022 HOW CAN WE SUPPORT SENSITIVE CHILDREN? ~ Give them SPACE Every individual is different, yet, sensitive children easily become overloaded or overwhelmed by expectations imposed on them, other peoples feelings and excessive stimualtion. It is important that WE VALUE SPACE, to relax, to unwind. ... ~ ACKNOWLEDGE HOW THEY FEEL Not how YOU want them to feel, or you think they should feel. This can be extremely confronting at times, especially if they are feeling strongly about someone or something which is different to you. Acknowledgeing how they feel will give them a RETURNING GIFT throughout life. ~ KEEP SUPPORTING THEM TO TRUST THEIR INTUITION Lets make intuition a concrete term, let it be in your day to day life. You never know when it may be the very skill that supports your child. ~ BE HONEST Your honesty builds trust. Sensitive children/adults can feel it when you are lying or avoiding the truth. It's confusing and damaging. We want them to trust you. If it feels wrong to be honest for what ever reason, be honest about how you feel. OR revisit a conversation at a later date, or if need be, get support. ~BE MINDFUL that you are not expecting them to take responsiblity for you. AS they will. They are sensitive to how you feel and want you to be ok. Let them know you will seek support when you need it and get support, YOU ARE ALWAYS WORTHY of support, your sensitive child will learn from you. ~ RESPECT different levels of awareness. Your child will have a different awareness to you at times. Learn from them. Learn about them. ~ Keep talking with them. Support them to process their day. ~ LISTEN to them. Even when they aren't verbaly speaking. Pay attention. GIVE ALL OF THIS TO YOURSELF. #innerchildhealing #highlysensitiveperson #ourchildren #supportourchildren #heightenawareness #deeplistening #intuition #yourworthit #alwayslearning #begentlewithyourself #respect #space #boundaries #intuitivementor #divineguidance #love #honesty #support #insight #trust #healing #changinglives #commitmenttolife #empaths #empathchildren #honestchildren #childrenofourfuture

15.01.2022 TRUSTING YOUR INTUITION CAN TAKE TIME Did you grow up in an environment where your intuition was valued? Do you VALUE your intuition? ... Learning to trust your intuition can take time. Like anything, the more you practice, the stronger it becomes. Your intuition is not always logic, It may make no sense to anyone else. The most important person to UNDERSTAND YOU is YOU. Take steps to grow your confidence. Have an intuitive date with yourself! Give yourself the space to notice how you feel. Pay attention to how your intuition comes to you. Being intuitive is not about being right, it’s about honouring yourself. Respecting who you are. Exploring your needs, and taking steps towards building trust within.

14.01.2022 I have found the more responsibility I take for my INNER CORE, the stronger my foundations are. I feel more grounded, present and aligned with my intuition then ever before. With the deeper commitment comes confidence, renewed energy and presence. ... How do you strengthen your Foundations? Start with SPACE for you. Who are YOU without others. Many have grown up without space. This is not a bad or wrong thing. It is as it is. But, without space it can be difficult to understand and honour your needs and hear YOUR INNER VOICE. Acknowledge Foundations you grew up with. Education, key relationships, routines, etc. Eliminate beliefs and IDENTITIES that are no longer serving OR NOT YOURS. Honour YOUR inner child, what did you need? What steps can you take to giving yourself what you need NOW. Community. What and who supports you in feeling connected and contributing? Keep being yourself Practice healthy boundaries What other ways can you support your foundations?

13.01.2022 Over the past 8 weeks I have been focusing on updating my Intuitive Development online course and it has been keeping me busy! Before I started the process I wanted to be sure what I was offering was; 1. Valuable... 2. Worth my time and investment! AND I have been exploring AUTHENTICITY and learning WHY it is so important to me. Here is what I found out. Strengthening your intuition is enormously valuable. ~ It supports you in trusting yourself. ~ It improves the quality of your relationships with yourself and others. ~ Once we respect it within ourselves we are more likely to respect it and acknowledge it in our children. ~ It is a necessary part of communication. ~ It supports you in YOUR comittment to life. Sometimes being authentic can be challenging Why? ~ because your not always giving people what they want. ~ sometimes it takes time to become clear and learn about yourself. ~ It takes a high level of commitment. But the benefits far outway the challenges! What does authenticity mean to you? #authenitcity #intuition #intuitiveguidance #intuitivementor #intuitivementoring #beyourself #mentoring #awareness #insight #commitment #clarity #communication #deeplistening #learning

11.01.2022 Do you ever find it difficult to listen to yourself? Are there areas in your life where you feel strong and confident and others where you feel more tentative and unsure? Maybe you feel your strength is listening to others? But listening to yourself is less important? ... IT'S NOT! Your thoughts and feelings are valuable. Your ideas, dreams and insights. Your visions and creations. Today, practise listening to yourself. 1. Start with giving yourself some space. 2.Explore a pace that works for you, honouring it. 3.Pay attention to your intuition, what is it telling you? 4.Consider your needs, what are they right now? What is most important? 5.EMBRACE YOURSELF with YOUR love and acceptance 6.Commit to listening to YOU. 7. Express yourself, your way.

11.01.2022 Are you scared of being judged? Are you judging yourself? Are you holding yourself back? ~ our judgements keep us small ~ they interfere with our relationships and our growth. ... Start with learning how to be present with your body, without judgement but with LOVE. Learn how to listen without thought. Friday morning meditation.

09.01.2022 Many highly sensitive aware people struggle with boundaries. I know only too well. Once upon a time I would find myself agreeing to do something to please another, the option to say no, felt worse then saying yes to something which was against my instincts. Or what was even worse, I would say no and struggle with deep remorse and guilt, it was exhausting. What has changed for me? ~ I recognise and value my sensitivity, I am unique, just like you are! ~ I was able to identif...y where I was playing small, undermining myself ~ I let go of trying to fit into a model which no longer served me ~ I deepened my trust in my intuition and listened ~ I gave myself permission to be loved ~ I was able to see my value ~ I stopped comparing myself to those around me Does it mean I never have doubts? No Sometimes following my intuition can be terrifying, at a base level I fear loosing all that I have, but overtime I have felt stronger and stronger in the certainty of who I am, and what is important to me. I have been honoured to witness people change their lives radically through CLARITY, LOVE and TRUTH. Each step of the way BOUNDARIES are present. What stops you from creating healthy boundaries? Do you ever find yourself justifying your boundaries? Ignoring your instincts? Overlooking your needs? Tomorrow I am running a small online workshop where we will be exploring boundaries. If you feel you would benefit, let me know. The workshop is online, 10-12pm, a 22 page workbook is provided for you to work in your ontime. Big love, Michelle XX

08.01.2022 While travelling in Greece (almost this time last year) my listening skills were tested. Frequently I found myself in situations where I didn’t understand ‘what’ people were saying. Almost everyone assumed I was a local, half way into a conversation I would awkwardly express I didn’t understand. I missed incidental communication and connections. Until I relaxed. The more at ease I became the easier it was for me to ‘listen’. Picking up on the meaning . ... One time I was moving between villages. Catching a local bus, I sat down next to an elderly gentleman. We nodded at one another. He started talking to me, I listened, watched his body language and understood he was asking me to mind his belongings, numerous of bags filled with rice, veggies and an over sized axe. I gestured yes and he disappeared. Meanwhile a woman came and sat down on the other side of me. She also acknowledged me. When the gentleman returned he smiled with appreciation, and opened up a packet of biscuits, sharing with us both. He spoke quickly. I must have looked confused as the woman beside me looked at my luggage tag. She registered I wasn’t Greek, and informed my new friend. He smiled at me and nodded. However, she continued to talk to me, despite me not understanding. I found myself naturally nodding, I sensed her emotion, I felt her passion. It wasn’t long before the gentleman’s bus arrived, we helped him with his groceries. Then the woman’s bus arrived. She embraced me. And thanked me! I could sense the trust between us. The moments shared with both these people touched my heart. Without a common language we were still able to connect. It felt good. Even though I did not understand the language, I was able to listen. Listening changes people’s lives. When you are able to ‘remove’ yourself from listening AND be present it is amazing what can happen. I am starting a small online study group where we FOCUS on listening. (In English ) Starting 14th October If you think you may suit the group, please let me know! Listening is powerful and for many LIFE CHANGING. Can you think of a time in your life where listening was life changing? With love, Michelle xx

08.01.2022 Sometimes looking into our past can be key to our future. If you were to take a moment and reflect on your experience of connection would you see a pattern? #connection #presence #relationships #intimacy #community #appreciationpost

08.01.2022 CREATE FOUNDATIONS IN YOUR LIFE WHICH SUPPORT YOU. After a busy weekend and a late night, I noticed I woke up feeling I didn’t sleep enough. My feet feel sore and my body is giving me subtle signs of fatigue. ... My default is to feel frustrated, annoyed with myself, and my sensitivity. But the truth is, my sensitivity is beautiful, it’s what makes me uniquely me! Just like yours makes you UNIQUELY YOU. Instead, I look to the foundations I have created over the years. The ones that support me. On a deep level. The foundations that I have created that put me in an environment where I can feel vulnerable AND valuable. Where I can love myself as I am, Where I can be honest. The foundations where BOUNDARIES support me, teach me and grow me. Foundations which enhance my CLARITY AND, my ability to focus. Foundations which remind me, I CAN rest, I CAN have space. Foundations which I am continually building on. Being part of a COMMUNITY I value so dearly. These foundations guide me to easily give myself what I need today. ~ meditate ~give myself space to process ~drink lots of water and eat fruit. ~allow myself to move at a HIGLY supportive pace, which right now, is slow ~BEING OK with who I am. To begin the year I would love you to join my 2021 Workshop on CREATING FOUNDATIONS JANUARY 9th. 10 am~ 12pm Early bird $50. Online LEARN ways to strengthen your foundations to support you in 2021. BECOME aware of how you can keep building on your foundations ELIMINATE old ways, beliefs of others to reveal DIFFERENT experiences GROW confident in who you are. I love sharing my years of experience with you. [email protected] for all bookings or any questions at all, or DM.

07.01.2022 How do you create clear boundaries if you do not understand what they are? In my early twenties I started reading about boundaries. I felt powerless to create boundaries, let alone healthy ones. ... I avoided confrontations at all costs. Withdrawing became an extreme measure for me to deal with something which felt wrong. I can see myself with compassionate eyes now and understand I was protecting myself. Boundaries seemed like they were something which I had no control over and hard work. I would either withdraw or allow something which felt wrong. Neither worked for me. When I embraced my empathic self, trusted my intuition and stopped comparing myself to others changes happened. I started to see boundaries from a different perspective. And I knew I needed to change my sub conscious beliefs that boundaries are hard work, negative and difficult. HERE IS WHAT I HAVE LEARNED ALONG THE WAY; ~ My boundaries are my responsibility. ~ If I shame myself around my lack of understanding of boundaries, I avoid growth and insight. ~ The more committed I am to the truth and being myself the easier it is for me to honour my boundaries. ~ Boundaries are valuable and are an essential part of healthy relationships. ~ My boundaries relate to my needs. ~ Boundaries support me to do what I love. ~ I am still learning. If you feel you would like to understand more about your boundaries and learn how to make them work for you, I would love you to join me at my online workshop on the 7th of June . All details are below! Or email for details. [email protected] Let your boundaries support you in your life. With love, Michelle X

07.01.2022 From an early age I had a deep love of baby’s and children. Any opportunity I would baby sit, or spend time with younger children. During secondary college my work experience was in school and kindergarten. Once I finished school I went to uni, studying early childhood, which lead me into working in childcare. I loved every child I worked with, and was drawn to anyone and everyone who appeared to be struggling or who I perceived as being ‘misunderstood’. I listened to them d...eeply. Even when they weren’t speaking. I ended up studying Creative Art Therapy. Determined to find a way I could specialise in working with children. Yet, after birthing my children, and becoming a step mum, and running groups for children, I had a deep knowing my work was with adults. I knew I needed to share my way of seeing the world and the only way to do this was by trusting my intuition and following my inner guidance. I would be lying if I didn’t say at times I questioned my work, I mean, so many have asked me over the years ‘what is it that you do?’ And how do you Do it?? What has kept me going, is WHY I DO WHAT I DO. I KNOW with EVERY CELL in my body that; YOUR INTUITION is an essential part of who you are. (Not mine! YOURS) I will do everything I can to support you in connecting with your intuition, learning how to trust it and respect it. Clarity supports you in ALL areas of your life. Insight is powerful. Love is healing. You are enormously valuable. Every experience in life has prepared me, guided me to be who I am. Every year I deepen my commitment to my work. What about you? Why do you do what you do? What or who inspires you? Photo credit. Lewis Fortuna (firstborn inspiration )

06.01.2022 When I first started working as an Intuitive Mentor, my vision was to support people to become clear. My work shifted and changed over the years as I grew as a practitioner. I learned more about the needs of my clients. One thing I consistently have seen is the connection between boundaries and self-value. Both are essential in creating healthy relationships. Think of it this way, if you cannot fully see your value, odds are it is difficult for you to implement boundaries to ...support you. And, just because you are confident in one area of your life, doesn’t mean you are the same in another area. This weekend I am sharing content which I believe will be key in supporting you in becoming clear and how to create boundaries to support you in all areas of your life. If you feel you would benefit let me know and I will send you the details. #healthyrelationships #intuitive #boundaries #wellbeing #emotionalhealth #connection #yourworthy #clarity #awareness #mentalhealth

05.01.2022 It was Isabella’s first day at kindergarten and Lewis at prep. On the drive home I felt a familiar yet foreign sense of freedom. I turned up the classical music, louder than usual. Moments later the truck in front of me lost its load. Miraculously I swerved to the right of the road, honestly, I am unsure how I got there. Instinctively, I covered my head, as the truck showered my car with rocks. Shattering my windscreen and covering every surface of the roof and bonnet. I stum...bled out of my car to see a visibly distressed truck driver. Are you ok? He screeched. New at his job, he absentmindedly forgot to clasp the truck doors. When I saw the damage to my car, indented on the roof and the bonnet along with the smashed windscreen, I knew it was a miracle I was unhurt. I looked at the young drivers face, wreaked with regret, I could feel his suffering. All that mattered was that everyone was ok. I can’t remember what happened next, but I do know I ended up at a friends place gratefully drinking a cup of tea. Without a car, I needed help ferrying my children to and from school and more. Uncomfortable having to ask others to help me , I considered cancelling everything. How many of us struggle asking for help? Are we teaching our children to ask for help when they need it? Growing up I was modelled self less behaviour, it was good to give to others, and put the needs of others ahead of your own. Even though it was well meaning, it’s far from sustainable, and more harm happens than good when you are ALWAYS putting the needs and wants of others ahead of your own. Our children need to feel safe to ask for help. Who knows when they may really need it, and let’s face it, help makes life EASIER. Sixteen years ago it took a truck to loose its load on me for me to ask for help. Don’t be like me. Start practising now. Even if it’s extremely uncomfortable! What stops you from asking for help? Do you ever feel guilt for needing help? Have you been taught it’s more honourable to do everything by yourself? Learning to ask for help AND support is key in developing healthy relationships. #miracle

01.01.2022 To this day I find as soon as a person gives me instructions I can't seem to hear them. I find myself having to ask them to repeat what they are saying more than once. "What was that number? How do you spell it? Sorry, say it again!" It's stressful! ... Yet other conversations where I am able to be non judgemental, receptive and open, my desire to listen is strong. How come some people are easier to listen to than others? Why do we take on what someone says personally? How can we improve the flow of listening? Listening is a skill. Which leads to enormous fulfillment, deep connections and healthy relationships. If you are interested in exploring more about listening please message me to find out about a small Listening Study Group which is starting soon. with love, Michelle XX
