A Solo Adventure Ride Accross America to Feed the Soul
A Solo Motorcycle Ride Across America came from the opportunity to do some training for my business. And then an opportunity presented to me.. An opportunity came knocking and it turned out that, I have the means, the desire and like-minded people to help me make it happen. A business training opportunity became the reason and all flowed on from that. An incredible adventure wouldn’t have evolved if I had spent many hours debating, preparing, doubting. AND the magic became reality… When Opportunity Turns into an Amazing Adventure of Discovery Be careful what you wish for because you just might get it. I have a wish board on my iPad…

Basic Survival Skills for Travellers
🌿 Back to Basics: Your Survival Skill Reset Ever feel like life’s just… too much? Like your body’s waving a white flag and you’re not even sure where to begin? Trust me, you’re not alone. When the chaos hits, the best thing you can do is hit the reset button and go back to basics. I mean really basic. As a therapist (and someone with a bit of military grit from back in the day), I’ve seen it time and time again—people spinning in circles, forgetting the simple stuff that keeps us alive and thriving. So let’s strip it all back and talk about the real survival skills. Not the…

The Squidgy Stuff…The Guts Of It
The Squidgy Stuff: Understanding the Mind-Body Connection Emotions—what I call “the squidgy stuff”—can make anyone squirm. Most people see emotions through a prism, with lights flashing in all directions when we lose control. Generally, we’re not taught that emotions have a direct effect on the body’s wellness. Have you ever seen something and felt a shiver run through your body without knowing why? It’s the old story: for every action, there’s an equal and opposite reaction. When we have a thought, we always have a physical response in the body—conscious or unconscious. As Maya Angelou once said, “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” Our…

Free Falling with Yoga
Free Falling into Yoga (With a Parachute, of Course!) By Linda McCall My first blog in this series took you along my wild ride into the world of Yoga. Now here we are—halfway through our NRG Yoga Teacher Training—and let me tell you, I’m free-falling deeper into the magic of it all. But not the “land-in-a-heap-on-the-floor” kind of fall. More like the “skydiving-with-a-parachute-and-screaming-with-joy” kind. That bum-clenching thrill of letting go, the wind in your hair, the giddy uncertainty of not knowing what comes next—but feeling held all the same. That’s Yoga. And trust me, the deeper I go, the more I realise: yoga isn’t just about the poses. It’s about…

A Journey with Yoga
🌿 My Personal Journey With Yoga – By Linda McCall “Mastery combines a balance of science and art. Knowledge of science is like the colours on the artist’s palette—the greater the knowledge, the more colours available. The body is the canvas and the Asanas are the art we create.” — Ray Long, MD, FRCSC, from Scientific Keys – The Key Muscles of Yoga When I first read this quote, it felt like someone had painted my thoughts with words. It was simple, beautiful, and true. So here I am, diving headfirst into the world of Yoga Teacher Training. Why? Because I finally heard myself. 🎧 Listening to Myself I’d been…

Skys the limit…..or is it?
Flying Solo: From 30,000 Feet to Ground-Level Dreams Let’s be real—2012 was like that turbulent flight nobody wants to remember, but somehow we all made it to our destination with stories to tell! It was one of those years where the universe decided to shake things up for everyone, and honey, did it ever deliver some personal growth served with a side of “what the hell am I doing with my life?” For me, 2012 was all about learning where to draw the line and actually listening to that little voice inside (you know, the one that’s usually drowned out by Netflix and self-doubt). The outcome? Absolutely stunning. But let…

The Ritual of Tea
A Pot of Tea and the Soul of Ritual “Tea is the magic key to the vault where my brain is kept.” – Frances Hardinge There’s something exquisitely elegant about the ritual of brewing a pot of tea. It’s slow. Intentional. Nurturing for the soul. One of my all-time favourites? Rose tea—whether it’s rose petal or rose bud, it’s packed with Vitamin C and gently lulls you into a peaceful, dreamy sleep. Here’s a little something I wrote about what tea means to me. Pour yourself a cup and settle in… The Soul of Tea “Tea is quiet and our thirst for tea is never far from our craving for…

A Breath of Fresh Air
Ease Off the Accelerator, Darling – Life’s Not a Race! Let’s be real: it’s human nature to go against the grain every now and then. We push the boundaries, we test the limits, and just like curious little kids, we poke the bear to see what happens. Sometimes, we create habits—some fab, some not-so-fab—without even realising it. And before we know it, those habits start affecting our happiness, health, and whole vibe. But guess what? That’s totally normal… just not always helpful. Every now and then, we need a good old-fashioned reassessment. A pause. A moment to check in with ourselves and ask, “Hey love, how am I doing, really?”…

The good oil
The Good Oil on Living Naturally (and Loving It!) As a naturally-focused therapist (Dip. Shiatsu & Oriental Therapies), I’m forever on the hunt for products that are pure, effective, and without all the rubbish. Sadly, our food laws — supposedly there to protect us — don’t always hit the mark. Why? Because, my friend, money talks. That means it’s up to us to get smart about where our products come from and what’s in them. It’s not always easy — finding good, honest products can feel like an endless treasure hunt. But for me, it’s a passion. And when I find something that ticks all the boxes, I want to…

My Wild Health Journey: From Drama Queen to Wellness Warrior
“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” – Carl Rogers Hey gorgeous souls! So here I am, fresh out of my own little health drama (and wow, was it a production!), and I’ve had the most amazing lightbulb moment that honestly made me want to laugh and cry at the same time. Ready for this? I was part of the problem! Yep, you heard that right. Little old me, thinking I had all my ducks in a row, was actually sabotaging myself. Talk about a plot twist! When Perfect Isn’t So Perfect My life looked pretty darn amazing from the…
