Let me tell you a little story about a woman who decided that she was sick of grimacing at her dry, tired skin as she occasionally caught a glimpse of herself zooming about her day. Like alot of us, she was "too busy" to prioritise seemingly frivolous little self care jobs like facials but...when she found out oslo_beauty had a spot just up in Stillorgan - there was no excuse.
.
Feeling good in our skin, valuing ourselves enough to make the time to be cared for by someone who is an expert in an area we are not an expert in - is a little act of self love. It's not to be minimised! I've been lucky enough to pop up to Oslo over the last couple of months to enjoy some micro needling (intense experience but incredible results!) and my personal favourite - the hydra facial.
.
I don't recommend or promote anything I haven't tried and loved myself. I've given it a few months to really see results and proof is recently seeing a photo of myself and being shocked at how clear and dare I say... glowy my skin was! There's never time, there's always an excuse but I made and will continue to make these little calm, quiet, soothing visits my priority (I even meditated during today's session, the dream combo!).
.
They have kindly offered a pretty sweet little discount MOONS15 for 15% off, which I'm so happy to share with you all and please don't hesitate to ask me anything about the 2x treatments I've been getting. I'm here to be open & honest with what to expect.
.
PS: Avril is a particularly amazing powerhouse of knowledge and experience if you can get her at Oslo Stillorgan (actually IN the shopping centre! The ease! A hidden sanctuary!!).

Yoga Holiday... what does that entail?!.
.
Well, we are not long home from another magical sunshine escape. 3x nights handily across a weekend, short hop to Portugal but a long leap from the day to day hustle of life. Flights, transfers, 4*hotel and brekkie plus a welcome dinner oh... And Yoga & Meditation are all included! We swam, slept, moved, gathered, took space, laughed, rested, rejoiced and returned home feeling a little more...ourselves.
.
Special time to immerse in these wonderful ancient wisdom practices but in luxury, with everything taken care of, with the support of a group for solo travellers but with as much space as you'd like for those looking for precious me moments. Heaven (for both the teacher, me in this case AND the group!).
.
We wanted to bring some much needed smiles to dials this Monday morning so if you are looking to give yourself some more of yourself, some YOU time next year - our holidays are now live and filling. ***YOGA30*** is a wee code to give €30pp off and it's valid for the next two weeks only. Portugal 3x nights, Madeira 4x nights and Croatia 5x nights. I'm truly proud of the amazing value, incredible curation and exceptional locations of these transformative escapes which are nearly 7 years running!! Big love, M xxx.

Hug our babies. Burst with gratitude for our privilege. Do what we can every single day in our micro culture to ensure humanity is amplified...small/big acts of the full spectrum of humanitarian embodiment wherever possible - WHILST supporting global activism, global care, global change.
.
Highlight. Donate. Condemn. Educate. Support.

Unfortunately we may not be able to change the world but we have immense power to change OUR worlds.
.
You might think that it's irrelevant how you live your life in your tiny pocket of the planet but can you imagine if everyone took care of their immediate micro culture as best they could?.
.
I simply offer this today for anyone feeling helpless and powerless. To remind people that radiating peace, compassion, kindness is what the world needs most right now and that WE ALL have the power to do that. It's all practice, awareness practice, living on purpose practice.
.
Of COURSE there is immediate global action needed to end the suffering of our equal, fellow inhabitants of this earth. Our hearts are breaking and we need to keep fighting for humanity. More activism is needed, we can't spiritually bypass our way around the horror. But simultaneously we perhaps need to cultivate and remember our own humanity whenever possible in our day to day lives. Living a more responsive, aware, loving life - for the good of all. Humans, animals, the environment... we need to keep remembering we are one symbiotic being that needs so much more love and care. Just some thoughts to ponder on this morning if you are feeling adrift in it all. Big love Mx.

Powerscourt POWER - just what the doctor ordered. A little Forest bathing. Waterfall meditating. River spray cleansing to soothe the soul!.

May this be your nudge to get out in nature today x.

Some thoughts that bubbled up last night in bed. I don't know everything but I know I don't want that to stop me saying, stop. Every small voice contributes to a global conversation.
.
But often when there's nothing left to say, no words to adequately express...let's be. Quietly holding space to expand and feel for those who are forced to feel too much. Meditate. Feeling our way back to a true nature that can't deny our inherent humanity, our symbiotic interconnectedness and equality.
.
Being humans being....in a time where humans are doing things that are the antithesis of humanity.

Hey 👋🏼, it's been a minute. Lots is yummy offline magic happening but I felt compelled to share today's super Sunday sessions with lifestylesports + nike because, well....... HOW DID I GET SO LUCKY THAT THIS IS MY LIFE!.
.
Yes upon first glance it simply looks like a sweet Sunday where I'm kitted out in the latest Nike activewear, fed the most delicious food in the coolest pop up studio set up, surrounded by sound special humans! BUT the best bit... I get to demystify some of the barriers people feel block them from meditating, I get to help people really experience themselves as they acquire real wellbeing tools for the toolbox, I get to inspire people to be more inspired by... themselves.
.
This work matters. Yes, it's shiny and slick sometimes at first glance but it's also got so much more depth - a wide reach to community, important messages relayed, an expansion of the perception of 'wellness' on a grand scale. Big brands really facilitating big shift towards better. I'm excited for the industry at large, change is coming.

Today IS a gift!.

As was yesterday and especially last night. To ALL the amazing humans, all nearly 100 of you who moved and laughed and cried with me as we watched in awe as that magnificent sun set over the water. Utter magic. THIS is living on purpose.

Purposefully choosing to romanticise life, sprinkle some extra sparkle on a Friday and feel. It's a feeling thing, not a thinking thing.

It's been a long time since I've so badly needed a little break away... and when that break away comes in the form of the unforgettable luxury that is cartonhouse.fairmont ... well, it becomes a weekend core memory for life!.
.
It's an art form to curate an incredible 5 star landscape/interior/dining/service and yet have guests feel like they are both family and VIP. Thank you for the most beautiful stay, there was tears of joy, gratitude and wonder from me as we meandered through each experience and most telling...tears of sadness from our little girl as we drove away.
.
* I am under no obligation to post/share etc but honestly folks, this escape was one of the most beautiful I've had in Ireland or internationally for that matter.

I'll keep saying it... The only thing I want to influence is your ability to influence yourself.
.
I believe this is the most important work of anyone working in Wellbeing. Not declaring, pontificating, rather - sparking curiosity, suggesting. Helping people to access themselves, to gain greater insight, innerstanding, to integrate their intuitive wisdom into the day to day.
.
To hear yourself more clearly as you walk through this short life and live more in accordance to that internal road map. Big love, Mx.

* THE ANTI GRATITUDE POST *

You have a life that someone envys.
A grandiose statement yes, and true often, but this doesn't mean you need to negate unhappiness because you 'should' be grateful. Gratitude is utterly wonderful but can be a double edged sword without - awareness. Let me explain ...it doesn't matter what way your life is rolling on paper, what matters is how it FEELS in the living of it.

Many of us bundle along in quiet discomfort because, how dare they seek change when they have it so 'good'. I see this time and time again with my clients.

Responding compassionately to how you are feeling as you go through the day to day is the first step towards noticing what doesn't work, for you. It could 'look' spectacular from the outside but it's you the individual who needs to draw their own map through life, using your own crayons!! Not just one of the herd that trucks along doing what they should or what is expected of them from a real or imagined parliament of judgemental people. Life is too short to not FEEL as good as you can, where you can, when you can. Noticing, observing, tweaking, artfully living...on purpose.

Here lies... opportunity! When we can truthfully acknowledge that something just doesn't feel 100% right (day to day routine, a relationship, a dynamic, a practice, a pattern) we can work towards a lil tweak (or big one). This is why I coach, most people are often too busy to take a breath and assess. This is why I teach people to meditate and am so passionate about the link between the two - because alot of people are to tuned into the external that they don't have time each day to tune into that internal well of information.

You know, we all know, but if we don't independently take time to reveal that knowing. Presumtion, guilt, busy, and the I should be grateful agenda...takes over. Some Saturday thoughts for you all. Big love xxx.

Do you own your phone or does your phone own you?.
.
About 10years ago now (wow time flies!!) we made a conscious decision to intentionally decide when our phones were around us. We have a hall table, a charging station and a hard rule of no phones in the bedrooms with a work in progress rule of no phones after 8pm. We ain't perfect and I by no means am preaching from some lofty height but my goodness does it feel good to have these boundaries. How are your boundaries?.
.
Often we are too busy to notice how we are living. Too busy to live, intentionally. Heartbreaking when you pause to notice but opportunity filled if you choose better! In the hustle of getting through the day, patterns are created and these time thieves often cause us to miss glorious moments off the screen. Easily done so give yourself a break if you're frowning whilst reading, noticing is the first step!.
.
Most of the work I do with my coaching clients is about mining down to the small changes, the tiny transformations that bring HUGE shift, improvement and joy to the every day. Rainy days are perfect for reflection so perhaps ... today you take some time to assess, tweak and plan for better in your home or lives? Take back your power, live on purpose as I always say. What's working, what's draining, what's positively contributing, what is distracting?.
.
Big love, Mx.
.
(Please note, I also know that our communication tech is essential to those who are restricted. It's a gift! But I'm more so speaking to those who have, in the haze of busy, allowed phones to unnecessarily take over).

If am not aligned to myself... how can I LIVE a life aligned to myself?.
.
Please read that again.
.
How? Time. Boundaries. Awareness. Assessment. Meditation. Tweaking. Work. Space. Rest. Value. Intuition. Alignment. Change. REPEAT.
.
The life of a life coach. The Yoga of a Yoga Teacher. The work of all humans who don't want to wake up 10 steps removed from themselves when it's too late.
.
Make the time to reconnect to yourself. YOU ARE SO BLOODY IMPORTANT TO YOUR LIFE. So many of us feel foggy about who we are or the path we are on but we are 'too busy' to take a breath to realign, reconnect, readjust. Please make the time. You're worth it!!.
.
No one has it all figured out, but having a curiosity or simply a desire to live from the inside out, is enough to begin the best work you'll ever ever do. Big Friday LOVE Mx.
