The Power of Gratitude
Hello my lovelies,
This week, along with a terrible bronchitis and no voice, my heart is full.
I had the incredible privilege of spending three days with my dad who at 95 years old still has the same spark in his eyes and quiet wisdom that’s shaped so much of who I am. Sitting with him reminded me that time, presence, and gratitude are our most precious luxuries.
And as if my heart wasn’t already overflowing, this week also marked the official launch of my new brand — Inbellysh — a project that’s been quietly growing for close on 20 years, first imagined when I was pregnant with my son. To finally see it come to life, to hold it in my hands after ten long years of developing, refining, and dreaming, feels surreal.
I am deeply grateful:
- To my team, who worked tirelessly to make the impossible happen.
- To my suppliers, who went above and beyond (and pulled late nights!) to meet timelines.
- And to you, the community of wellness professionals who constantly remind me why I love this industry so much.
💫 Why Gratitude Changes Everything
Gratitude isn’t just an emotion, it’s a practice that shifts how we lead, grow, and connect. Here are three truths I’ve come to believe:
- Gratitude grounds you in abundance.
When we focus on what we do have, rather than what’s missing, we attract more of the same energy, opportunity, creativity, and joy. - Gratitude builds resilience.
It reminds us that even in the hard seasons, we’re supported by people, by purpose, by something bigger than ourselves. - Gratitude deepens connection.
As leaders and therapists, when we lead from gratitude, our teams, clients, and even our businesses feel it. It creates an environment where people want to grow with us.
This Week’s Reflection
Take a quiet moment today and ask yourself:
“What am I grateful for this week?”
I’d love to hear from you — hit reply and share one thing (big or small) you’re thankful for right now. Let’s start this week anchored in gratitude together.
A Little Something New:

For those who haven’t seen it yet — Inbellysh is my new pregnancy wellness brand, created to nurture mothers-to-be through every stage with intention, safety, and soul.
Born from my own pregnancy journey and years of formulating for women’s evolving skin, Inbellysh was created to fill a real gap in our spa world — a dedicated, professional-grade range designed for pregnancy care, pre- and postnatal treatments, and home rituals.
If your spa doesn’t yet offer a pregnancy-specific experience, now is the perfect time to explore how Inbellysh can help you nurture more women, beautifully and safely. Have a look and follow our Instagram on below link:
