From Sept 2025, I'll be holding ocean therapy sessions in various beautiful spots on the Costa Blanca coast. I can't wait to share with you the benefits of sacred healing work by the sea. If enough interest, I'll take a boat to the best places to spot dolphins in the wild. Interested? Comment below.

I'm busy building a virtual retreat for people suffering from depression. It's becoming something really exciting.
Today, I'm building the Situation Room, a space where we can support you as you make a plan to improve or resolve something tangible that's causing you to feel depressed.

Where are your pension funds being invested? It's another way you can make a difference. That's if you still have a pension, with all the shenanigans from the USA....

Gardening was a life saver for me when I suffered from depression.
It helped me heal & sparked my interest in ecotherapy.
Do plants help you manage your MH?
I’d love to see pics of your garden.

Society tries to tell us who’s worthy, who’s valuable. Feeling like we don’t matter leads to depression. Let me remind you now, you MATTER.

The most important thing I learned is that true healing from #depression only happens if we do the right things, in the right order.
Otherwise we set ourselves up for failure, which only leads to more depression.

I discovered that there are different stages of #depression.
The important thing is what works for you at one stage, might be impossible for you at another.
We need different things at different times to help us heal

I love helping people to recover from depression. I wanted to create a free support group, but I didn't know where to start one.
This is why I don't host it on Facebook, but on Substack instead.

#Depression is about more than just your mind.
We have to treat our mind, body, heart, Soul and Spirit too if we are to fully heal.

My poor Coconut has leishmaniasis and needs injections. Not going to be much fun for her, poor old gal.
The skinny, bald feral kitty we took to the vet is doing well tho. He's eating, putting on weight & his fur is growing back. No idea what happened to him, but he's improving. Called him Georgie.

I've reported all sorts of heinous crap to FB & been told it doesn't breach their standards. However, I posted that I'm thinking of leaving FB since Zuck decided to stop fact checking, openly supports Trump & allows the LGBTQ+ community to be called slurs/mentally ill and look what happened!!!
