February, Finally!

And a new book
So, how is 2026 going for you so far?
To me, the end of January always feels like the credits of a film that should have ended about twenty minutes ago. You’re ready to move on, but you’re stuck in your seat, forced to endure the final stretch till the very last credit in polite silence! I definitely had a sense of ‘enough already’ this year! Does this resonate?
My February news is the arrival of another book. It’s called Energy Alchemy and it’s a genuinely practical self-help guide to recognising how energy affects daily life, from the micro to the macro.
Packed with exercises it comes with access to several free audios and
I’ve created a beautiful companion journal for it too - offering you a dedicated space to explore, reflect, and heal at your own pace.
As always these are created entirely by my own hand, using simple language broken down into bite-size sections you can genuinely work with. It’s taken a lot of dedication to produce what I do believe to be a great tool. It may not be for everyone. But if you’re willing to do the work, it will work for you.
The cover image is also completely mine. She’s called The Healer. She is an expression of me—more than me. Another aspect of me. She will appear again in a future project I’ll speak about another time.
Every single practice I outline in this book has been part of my own self-work and teaching for a long time, so the first thing I did when Energy Alchemy arrived in print, was exactly as I encourage you to do:
I sat and read it.
I did my own exercises.
I paused, reflected, scribbled, cried.
I was honest with myself, saw through myself, and discovered new things that needed recognising and healing.
Now, I’ve been teaching all things energy healing for over twenty years. That isn’t a marketing line. It’s just the truth. And to me, the point in learning things like reiki is firstly to recognise where you need healing, then to face it, to heal it —and help other people who need healing to do the same wherever you can.
Most importantly, you need to understand that it’s an ongoing process.
Learning reiki is not a finish line. It’s a foundation. Once you have it, you’re free to move on and let it live through your life in a way that works for you, but you shouldn’t be paying subscriptions you can’t afford or trying to heal others while avoiding your own work. This might sound harsh but I do believe that if you aren’t working on yourself—constantly— you are part of the problem, not the solution.
So, I created Energy Alchemy to meet you wherever you are on this personal development journey, whether just starting out or at ‘established explorer’ level!
So, back to today:
Get the book.
Get the journal.
Do the exercises.
Don’t just sit and stare at the cover!
I’d love for it to help you.
To understand more.
To get clearer.
To stop reacting.
To stop distracting.
And then for it to support you to:
Feel better.
Take aligned action.
Do better.
Be the decent human being that I know that you are.
And find ways of passing it on.
As we are all here to do. Together.
With all my love.
