A calm, curated wellbeing hub filled with reflections, books, tools, and moments of peace to support your mind.

New to the website!

The Sanctuary is your quiet place to land - a space created for women whose minds rarely switch off, yet long for a moment of ease. Inside, you’ll find thoughtful reflections within my journal, In Her Mind, a monthly pause to breathe in Sunday Sanctuary, the books that have shaped my work in The Bookshelf, and a collection of free tools to help you calm your mind and reconnect with yourself.

Everything here is designed to meet you where you are, steady your nervous system, and offer the kind of support that feels gentle, practical, and deeply human..

Articles, Reflections, & Insights on Women’s Inner Worlds

In Her Mind is my journal - where I share thoughtful, honest reflections on the inner world of women - the overthinking, the mental load, the quiet self-doubt, and the longing for calm. Each piece blends psychology, neuroscience, and lived experience to help you understand your mind, shift unhelpful patterns, and reconnect with yourself in a deeper, kinder way. It’s a place for slow reading, gentle insight, and those ‘I thought it was just me’ moments.

You’ll find new pieces here regularly - and if you want the deeper notes that don’t make it to the website, you’ll find them in The Sunday Sanctuary.

Books That Shape How We Think, Feel & Grow

These are the books that have shaped my work, expanded my thinking, and supported me through different seasons of life. Each month, I share one meaningful book — along with my personal insights, key ideas, and how it can support your mind, your growth, and your wellbeing. This is more than a reading list; it’s a curated collection of wisdom you can return to whenever you need clarity, grounding, or inspiration.

If you’d like the deeper reflections, journaling prompts, and “how to use this in everyday life” notes, I share those inside The Sunday Sanctuary.
