Why regulating ourselves may be one of the most powerful contributions we can make. Over the past week I have caught myself doing something I suspect many of us have been doing. Watching the news… and then needing to switch it off. Not because I do not care, but because at times it feels almost too much to take in. Many of us have been watching world events unfold with concern, confusion and sometimes distress, powerlessness or overwhelm. I shared a short reflection about thi

Satiety. The Quiet Sense of Enough. There’s a kind of fullness that has very little to do with quantity and everything to do with presence. Have you ever noticed that you can finish a beautiful meal and still feel oddly unsatisfied? You can spend time with people you love and somehow feel restless afterwards. You can experience pleasure and still want more. I see this all the time, in my clients and in myself. And here’s the thing. This isn’t greed. It isn’t a lack of discipl

“The truest form of intelligence is designing the life you want to live.” Graham Weaver Most people know this. That’s why, at the start of a new year, we set intentions, make resolutions and try to do everything right all at once. But there’s a point in January researchers call Quitter’s Day  the second or third Friday of the month that's just gone by, when more people abandon their New Year commitments than on any other day of the year. That’s right about now. So, let’s talk

Welcome to the reality of January 2026. It ’s well on its way, galloping forward towards what the Chinese call the  Year of the Fire Horse . And where are you in the movement of time? Still trying to get going, already crazy busy and exhausted, or somewhere in between? My treatment room has been buzzing with people — their excitement, victories, and challenges. It’s made me wonder what the best way really is to transition into January. And that’s what I’d love to explore with

As the year gently draws to a close, there is a particular quality in the air, softening, slowing, and an invitation to pause. Every year carries its own challenges, lessons, and moments of growth often unseen and uncelebrated. Instead of seeing any unfinished goals as failures, let’s recognize them as continuations . What remains on your list that you wanted to achieve in 2025, is not lost, it is simply waiting for the right time, the next step, or the fresh energy that a ne

We have come to the end of 2025, and this is our happy holidays newsletter. It’s written to send you on your year end and, if you celebrate, your Christmas break, with a little gift and the very warmest wishes for relaxation and rejuvenation, as well as laughter, love and joy! The gift is a little look at my   Resilience Spectrum concept, so you can do a little self-reflection and work out what adjustments might support you, ahead of the new beginning that next year offers.  

Holding Patterns Bracing and Dysautonomia in the Year End Rush As we move deeper into the final stretch of the year, many people are feeling the strain that has been building quietly for months. The last quarter always seems to speed up. Work demands intensify. Schools and families add events to your calendar. Social expectations rise. Emotional load increases. Life gets noisier and your body carries the weight of it all. This is the time of year when I see the body speaking

Hello Wonderful Body Brilliance Community, Sbonga Shange As we screech toward the end of 2025 at break-neck speed, I wanted to write to you and share a little of what’s been happening behind the scenes. We are working flat-out until 23 December (so you can get those problems you’ve not had time to attend to, sorted before the year is out that you have not had time to attend to), and it’s been a season of change, growth, and genuine excitement for what we can offer you. 1.

What if aging—like every other transition life offers—isn’t something going wrong, but something going  right ? What if it’s not a collapse, but a deepening? A return. A ripening into the essence of who you have always been becoming. We live in a world that fears aging, that treats it like a condition to be fixed or a problem to be managed. But what if aging is actually one of life’s most exquisite invitations—to release what no longer serves, to gather wisdom, and to live wi
