Pausing Counts
When You Pause
When you pause,
the noise softens, the ground steadies,
and your breath becomes a guide
instead of a chore.
When you pause,
your heart remembers
what it has carried
and what it can finally lay down.
When you pause,
your life gently shifts
toward what matters most —
A soft returning to yourself.

5 Gentle Reminders for the Recovery Journey
Healing Takes Time Recovery isn't a race. It's okay to move slowly, to rest when needed and to honour your own pace.
Small Steps Add Up Every tiny action - a short walk, nourishing meal, a good night's sleep - can make a difference over time.
Your Emotions Are Valid It's normal to feel everything from frustration to gratitude, sometimes in the same hour. All feelings have a place in healing.
Connections Matter Recovery can feel isolating, but you don't have to do it alone. Lean on trusted friends, family or professional support.
Hope Is Powerful Even in the hardest moments, holding onto hope can light the path forward.
If you're navigating recovery right now, know this: you don't have to have it all figured out. One step, one day, one breath at a time is enough.
Pivoting
Courageously
I'm in the process of writing my first book, Pivoting Courageously. It's a story of navigating my own recovery journey - the challenges, the lessons, and the unexpected moments of hope.
It's still in the making, but sharing the journey with you feels important. I'll share snippets along the way.
Sometimes, simply knowing someone else has walked the path before us can help light the way forward.
Words I Hold
Onto
"Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, I will try again tomorrow."
by Mary Anne Radmacher
It's a gentle reminder that strength isn't always loud or visible. Sometimes, simply choosing to keep going is the most courageous act of all.

Testimonials
As someone who has tried to navigate my journey alone, I was unaware of how beneficial it is to have someone ‘in your corner’. Having Tracey there with me enabled me to make continued progress on a week-to-week basis, her combined scientific knowledge and strategy’s to enable progress, whilst still coaching me with the upmost compassion and understanding was a game changer. The positive outcomes of my work with Tracey cannot be understated.
