My Goddess Power

My goddess power, the energy which lights up my life, puts the pizazz into my day and juices up my creative soul is always with me and at times it peaks and at other times its quiet and more unassuming.  Right now its quiet, I am in a reflective mood, my life is shifting, something deep is happening that needs my beautiful attention.  I am learning to accept that this is part of my exquisite life, learning to let go and to go with the flow...... Its an ongoing process that I know will be with me for the rest of my life.  Only when we go through these times can we learn and then grow.

So I am nourishing myself, I am taking super uber great care of myself I have just had my hair coloured and cut, I have bought out all the organic vegetables and fruit in the local supermarket, I have just made the most explosive juice ever and am looking forward to creating raw pecan fudge later this afternoon.  Learning and knowing that I am worth looking after is one of the best nuggets of knowledge I have learnt and accepted in this past year.

Ive linked up baby

Its Friday - Ive got a little task for you to do......

I had an insightful meeting with one of my lovely clients earlier this week.  We were talking about her passions, ideals and goals for her body and in our meeting I came up with a great little task for her to do which I thought would be good for anyone to do, especially if you have any hang ups with your lovely body.

I asked my client to list in one column her ideals for her body, I asked her to be ultra specific and super clear.  She came at me with a long list, probably about 15 + items on there ranging from...
shiny, healthy hair
high cheekbones
pert breasts
clear glowing skin
no cellulite
no stretchmarks
thin ankles
shapely thighs  .... and so on, but you get the gist.

Now we spent a long time looking through this list and I asked her how she compared her actual self to this "super" list. We checked off the ones she felt she had and left the others alone.   I then asked her in column two to write next to each comment in column one how she actually felt about her body when she compared it to her "ideal" body and then how she talked to herself about this part of her body.    This is where the exercise got interesting.

When comparing her real self to her ideal self her self talk was rude and very disrespectful - not good for her self esteem at all!!  My client had made up this "super ideal" body in column one and after probing and questioning she realized she had let herself be conditioned into this list by reading various magazines, looking at TV programs and comparing her body with the airbrushed images that are spoon fed to us via the media.  

Now after comparing column one to column two I asked her to write up column three and this column was all about how she could start reframing and accepting her exceptional uniqueness about her body.  I asked her to write out next to each comment in column one what was good/great/different about her body and she was to write this down and keep this part of the exercise.

This may take some work and this may be a challenge for some of you, especially if you are used to talking to yourself negatively.  But trust me this part of this exercise will start to do wonders for your self esteem and confidence.  This is really teaching you how to start honoring and accepting what a magnificent and fabulous body you actually have.

I would love every woman to know that she is an individual and has a certain uniqueness about her that no other woman has.   I encourage all women everywhere to STOP comparing yourselves to other women, learn to embrace everything about yourself, your curves, your shape, the way you move, the way you smile.  Why would any woman want to look like anyone else?  You are you.  Dont you just LOVE that!!!!!!

Make way for the feminine........

We live in a patriarchal society and the energy surrounding this is undoubtedly male - its all about drive, focus, discipline and purpose.  It is goal oriented, always looking for the best strategy to obtain the desired result.   We have lived this way for many, many years and  as women we have got wrapped up in this too always planning, organizing, leading and taking control.  We live in a society where pursuing our deadlines and achieving defines our success.   But this way of living is denying our natural state of being and feeling.  We are so busy planning with our minds that we are ignoring our emotions and our bodies.  We are walking around out of touch with who we really are.

Now compare the male energy with the female energy, the energy beautiful creatures that we were born with and what makes us essentially a woman.  Female energy is open, its sensual, it has an exquisite life force of its own, its all about nurturing, protecting and enduring.   It is sustained by colour, sound, touch, smell and most importantly intuition.   Female energy is all about love, it longs to feel and experience love through everything and everyone.  Its creative, it flows, its just all woman.

Every man and woman has both female and male energies that flow through them and it is all about finding the exquisite balance that works for you.  I myself for many years have been totally male energy driven in my life and my business, always doing and achieving and striving for success.  By teaching sensual dance I have been aware of my sensual side but only recently have I taken this to another level and started to really utilize my female energies in everything else I do.

It is an interesting journey, out goes the to do lists and the structure and the goals in exchange I am exploring my passions and what excites me on a daily basis, I am taking time to nurture and love myself like I have never done before, I listen to my body and rest when I need to rest, I am calm and peaceful, I give myself time to be quiet so my creative juices can flow.  I am enjoying the ride, the flow, the journey, I trust that there is something much bigger than me that will take care of me and will show me where I need to go.  I am learning to let go, its scary, its exciting and its me xxxx

As always, beautiful creatures my posts are here to bring you into awareness, to wake you up from where you are and to let you know that there is so much more for us if we just open our minds and our hearts.  So just start to notice where your energies lie - are you more male orientated or are you working with your female energies.  Enjoy and have fun with this xxxx

Some of my random philosophies on eating and your body.

1. When your life is in balance your body will in turn balance out and be the shape and size it is naturally meant to be.
2. If you eat crap for a couple of days you normally wont see any difference in your body until a week later. Our bodies work on a 5 - 7 day time lag.
3. Little changes to our eating habits on a consistent basis reap the most dramatic results, its not what you do right now, its what you are doing now, in 3 months, 6 months, 12 months and beyond.
4. When you fall of the wagon of healthful nutritious eating (and you will), accept that fact that you have, dust yourself off and get right back on again.
5. Diets make you put on weight, it makes perfect sense psychologically - whatever you think about you will attract.... Diets = food!!!
6. We all need to return to our natural rhythms.... eat when we are hungry, stop before we are full and be fully conscious of whatever we put into our mouths.
7. Your body weight has nothing to do with your body - its all to do with your mind.
8. You need to retrain your taste buds slowly introducing more fresh vibrant fruits and vegetables to your palate.
9. Know with a PASSION that sugar is highly addictive and it takes time to loosen this addiction and know also that once you have freed yourself from sugar if you eat again you are back into being addicted again!
10. Concentrating on the body as an end result rather than a means breads fear.  A fear that we are not good enough....
11. Deprivation is a crap way to lose weight.
12. If nothing else introduce one green smoothie per day and you are well on your way to looking and becoming so much more healthier.

You are precious!

Do you know how precious you are?  How wonderfully unique and exquisite you are?  Do you respect and cherish yourself each and everyday?  Mmmmm I wonder how many of us beautiful creatures actually do really care for ourselves.   We are so busy running around chasing children, working, looking after partners, parents, dogs, cats, ...... (insert your own) that we often neglect the most important person here and that is ourselves!!!

Its all well and good booking a hairdressing appointment or taking some time off to have your nails done, yes I agree, pampering is a sure fire way to boost our self esteem and confidence.  But I'm talking about something much deeper here.  Do you really value yourself, do respect yourself and do you feel you are number one in this life?  Asking these questions nearly always brings up some unexpected emotions.  Be true to yourself and ask yourself these questions and sit with them and see how you feel.  Only when you believe wholeheartedly that you are enough, that you are worthy, that you have so much value, only then does great change begin.

I was having a conversation with one of my dear clients yesterday, she was having some business problems and was very upset.  She described to me the conversation she had with her husband the night before.... he was very busy with a project he was working on and she was talking to him about her business problems.  As she was describing her situation to him, she suddenly stopped and said "oh don't worry, you are busy, I'm going to bed".   Now I'm not sure what anyone else would pick up from this but I looked deep into her eyes and I said "that doesn't sound like a woman who values herself and what she does."  Tears pricked her eyes and I knew Id hit the nail on the head.  If we cant learn to value ourselves then no one can, this is played out often in a marriage/partnership where the woman believes that her problems aren't as important as her husbands.

This is powerful stuff and by not recognizing your value, your brilliance even, this will send out the relevant messages into the world that you are of no value and you will get treated likewise.   I'm sure that you know this but not only do we have to manage and stay in control of our own thoughts we are bombarded on a daily basis via all media that we are not good enough and these messages get deep rooted into our subconscious if we are not aware.

So beautiful creatures please accept that you are precious,  honor the responsibility that you are priceless and that you deserve the utmost respect from yourself and everyone else.  Sit with these thoughts and just see how they feel, try them on for size...  and you will find that you being you is a perfect fit and its your birthright to be glorious xxx

Beauty is our birthright!

Beautiful creatures.... Do you believe that beauty is your birthright or do you believe that beauty is a gift only some women possess?

I believe that every woman has the right to be beautiful, beauty is there for us all.  Beauty starts in the mind and as the great Sophia Loren says "Nothing makes a woman more beautiful than the belief that she is beautiful." Our thoughts really do shape who we are.  If we believe that we are not beautiful then it is so simple we just wont be.  So if it is so simple why not start to question your negative beliefs about yourself and start telling yourself that you are beautiful.  This will to help you on your way to be more beautiful, its a daily practice, a ritual maybe - I need you stand in front of the mirror every morning and look deep into your eyes and tell yourself that you are beautiful and then find 1 or 2 areas of your body that you like, then celebrate them.  Walk away from the mirror happy in the knowledge that you are starting to take great care of yourself.


This daily ritual described above will set you on your way to believing that you are beautiful.   I have more for you.... Shall I let you into a secret???   To really supercharge your beauty a woman has to follow a lifestyle that supports and inspires you to be beautiful too.   You need a lifestyle that will give you results.  Results such as glowing, luminous skin, radiant from the inside out, an abundance of energy and a beauty that reflects sensational health and well being. Results that will make you look and feel younger than your years and that will have heads turning in the street saying WOW!!! How does she do that?


The secret is Raw foods.  I have been exploring and discovering the world of raw eating and it has transformed me!  My energy levels are up, my skin is glowing, I feel calmer and I radiate a beauty that I know comes from me looking after myself from the inside out.  There is so much information on the net on raw foods and the raw way of living and it can be overwhelming but I'm going to let you know how I started on my raw food journey and that was with a green smoothie every morning.  This is now my breakfast of choice and I know I am starting my day with a nutritious meal that will not only make me feel good but look good too!!  There are a couple of recipes below,  try them and see what happens.  Within 4 - 6 weeks you will start to notice your skin glowing baby!  Enjoy

Inspiration and Passion

I have so many subjects that I love to talk about and so many that I would adore to write about but sometimes my inspiration is just not there and I have to trust that it will return to me when the time is right!  This evening I spent the evening with a gorgeous girlfriend and we sat in on an evening with Jo Malone.  Somebody in the audience asked Jo "how do you find your inspiration?"  to which Jo replied.. "hang around with inspiring people"!!!  and boom!!! at that moment my inspiration returned!!  Spending the evening away from my office with like minded people ignited my spark again!

I believe that we are all creative and inspirational people and that there is something much bigger than us that surrounds us, envelopes us and connects us all.  Call it spirit, god, goddess, source, energy, call it what you want but its there and its running through all of us.  I believe that we are spiritual beings on a human journey and this energy courses through our bodies and its our job to release it and use it wisely.

We are all unique and all completely individual and therefore we all have unique talents that we can offer the world.  There is no two people alike and therefore everyone has something different to offer.  When you grasp the enormity of this, doesn't this idea make you feel just wondrous, magnificent and very powerful!  

I encourage all my clients to work on discovering their passions.  Here is my secret key to discovering your passions.  

Question 1.  What would you do if you knew that you couldn't fail?

Question 2.  What would you choose to do a daily basis even if you knew you wasn't going to get paid?

Question 3.  What would make you leap out of bed every single day with a smile on your face?

These questions will need some thought and some action and you will need to answer these questions every 3 - 6 months and the answers may change but what you will find is that you start to become closer to living and believing in your passions.

When you discover your passion, you want to live it, breath it and absorb it and this makes you one happy being!!!  Remember like attracts like and this is why we are here on this planet earth to discover our passion and to live it full out, to inspire ourselves and to inspire others.

Now go discover....... Have fun exploring your passions and let me know how you get on xxx

The Pink Party just cant help but be magnificent!

Details of our next Pink Party

I'm excited, I'm very excited!! My company Cardiostriptease is holding its 4th Pink Party next week.  It is 7 days till this extravaganza of an evening.  We have 11 sexy, fun and spectacular acts performing, all unique and completely individual, just the way I like it.

3 years ago the idea for the Pink Party was born.  My dear dear friend Jo Russell was living with terminal cancer and I thought it would be a great idea to raise some for her by putting on a little soiree.  The first event was held in a small room and we had pink cupcakes, champagne, 10 pole dancers from Cardiostriptease, teachers and students and 40 excited guests!! It was an amazing success and we raised lots of money for Jo xx   A year later we moved to a larger venue, we found some amazing performers to add their sparkle to the proceedings, more guests attended and the event became bigger and bigger.  It was at this point that the Pink Party transformed from being a pole dancing event to a wonderful unique variety evening showcasing some of the most amazing talent you will ever see in one place.  From pole, to burlesque to fire, to real live snakes, male belly dancing, hula hooping and slick streetdance the Pink Party has it all.

What I personally love about all our performers is that they are unique and individual.  They all have their own sense of style and a certain dynamic purpose about them.  They are excellent at what they do and are captivating to watch.  I am one proud woman to be involved performing alongside them.

My gorgeous friend Jo came last November to watch our show and having her their in the audience always makes the evening very special.  Jo passed away this year in March leaving a everlasting impression on me.  She is a truly amazing woman and she inspired me to reach for my wildest dreams and desires.  She is always in heart and soul and we are proud to run all our events in memory of Miss Jo Russell.  Jo has a son and he is called Josh.  Josh is 19 and he is at university.  After have several discussions at the Cardiostriptease office we all decided that we would love proceeds to now go towards sponsoring Josh through his time at university.

The Pink Party cant help but be magnificent, it is surrounded by love and inspiration.  I will always remember you Jo and I dedicate The Pink Party to you xxxxxx

The Bathroom Scales....

You know the feeling... Your feeling good, your looking good, you admire yourself in the mirror "not bad" you say to yourself, "hey Im looking fabulous!!" then you step onto the scales to affirm these great feelings.  You look down expecting to see a magic number that will tell you how good you are, how great you have been and when you look down those scales register another number!! Another number much higher than you expected!! You look again in disbelief are they right you wonder and start to shift your weight from side to side hoping and praying the number will shift down, but it doesn't.  So you step off and pick the scales up and put them on the other side of the bathroom, you step gingerly on again, holding your breath, you look down!! Arrrghh NO! they still register the same number.  "Rubbish" you cry, this cant be right and you pick the scales up and give them a good shake, if they are non digital you may start to fiddle with the dial.  The you put them down and have a genius idea, you sit on the toilet and pee - yes that will do it, that will bring the number down!! So you take the scales outside the bathroom and you put them on the floor in the hall, you stand on again holding your breath, oh!! no holding your breath may make the scales register higher so you blow all your breath out and look down... NO, NO, NO the say the same!! This just cannot be right.  You step off the scales with you head hanging low, your self esteem plummeting faster than the speed of light.  You feel awful, you have failed, you feel like crying!!! What a way to start your day, you just want to crawl back into bed.

Beautiful creatures.... Does this sound familiar?  How much of your self worth and self esteem do you put into a chunk of metal with a dial that sits on your bathroom floor?  How can you let an innate object like the bathroom scales tell YOU how to feel?  Ive been here, done it and got the t-shirt.  Its horrible we put so much emphasis on the scales to register how virtuous we have been and to let us know whether we have been good or bad!

Wake up and smell the coffee!!!! This is absolutely ridiculous.  There are so many other ways for us to ascertain that we feel great.   We will only ever feel sensational when we feel good from the inside out.  When you know that you are taking care of yourself on a daily basis to the best of your abilities with the resources you have and you make this your life's journey then this is the only sensible, intelligent option for real women to feel great about themselves.  Whenever we externalise anything to make us feel good about ourselves this is always going to end up in tears.

Start to believe in yourself, start caring and nourishing your body, mind and soul.  Make it your number one priority, you only have one life and you only have one body.  Treat your body as a temple, stop relying on scales to tell you that you are good or bad.  I dare you to throw them out and liberate yourselves from this chunk of metal.

I can make you look 1 - 2 dress sizes smaller in 5 mins.

Every morning in the gym it always amazes me how many people workout with such terrible postures - shoulders hunched, upper back rounded, waistlines slumped, heads down.  Its almost as if these people have no respect for their bodies and themselves.  In fact these people are so disassociated with their bodies, there is no mind/body connection whatsoever.  To get ultimate results from any exercise program we have got to be what we want to do.  What I mean by this is we have to engage our minds to control our bodies and be thoughtful with every exercise we perform.  Its no good working super hard on the treadmill or with weights if your posture is just terrible - you are only ingraining these bad postural habits even more and people wonder why they have bad backs!!

Ive been teaching Pilates now for over 12 years and the first principle I address with any of my clients is how they hold themselves.  We've all been told to stand up straight, shoulders back, stomach in - but that just doesn't work - we are not in the army, we need subtle tips to align and hold our bodies throughout our day.  I can make all my clients drop 1 - 2 dress sizes within 5 mins!  Now that's pretty spectacular, well it would be if the client takes on board what I suggest and then works with this on a daily basis.  What we need to do is have awareness of how we hold ourselves all the time.  This takes discipline and effort but the rewards are magnificent.  Clients walk taller, they have less aches and pains and their movement quality takes on a grace and elegance that wasn't there before.

So here are my quick postural daily tips.....

1. When you are standing, feel your feet ground into the floor so you have balance and stability, focus on your spine and imagine your spine becoming longer from the pelvis all the way up to the crown of your head. Focus your eyes directly ahead of you.
2. Go find your pelvic floor and get used to connecting with this fabulous muscle, gently draw upwards from between your legs and concentrate on holding this gently.
3.Feel your waistlines lengthen and become aware of this feeling.  Try to maintain this for as long as you can and remember to breath!

If you feel any tension start to creep in, relax, take a breath and try again.  If you just start to work with these 3 tips on a daily basis you are on your way to looking leaner, more elegant and moving more gracefully.  Practice, practice, practice xxx

I will post a video on this shortly x

Change is good for our souls.

How often do you change?  You know things like your hair, you clothes, the route you take to work, your choice of drink....

As our life fast forwards around us we tend to get stuck in our own worlds and our own patterns.  Sometimes not even noticing that we have done the same thing for ages and ages.  Doing the same thing over and over makes us stale and unyielding to the beautiful flow of life that is happening all around us all the time.

I too can get stuck in my patterns and then suddenly wonder why I'm feel tired, have no energy and generally feeling restricted.  I'm not a fan of old sayings and proverbs unless they have a positive spin to them but "a change is as good as a rest" is a great one and little changes to our day can make a tremendous difference, they can wake us up, enliven us and give us a spark to bigger changes along our way.

Just last night I decided to take the door of its hinges that leads into my Pilates Studio.  Such a simple act, a little crazy perhaps but it has made all the difference to my rooms upstairs, the light flows in beautifully and it makes me smile!! So change is good, its good for our souls.   So can I tempt you into a little change today, see what you can do and see how it makes you feel xxxxxxxxx

Do you know how to take great care of yourself?

Women are interesting creatures.  Full of emotions, thoughts and feelings and sometimes all of these can get a little too much for any of us.

I'm all about empowering and inspiring women to take great care of themselves and this is an ongoing journey that needs our full attention and focus.  After all, what we focus on is what we will achieve.  So starting to become aware of what we focus on is the first step to creating our most wonderful desires.

I just popped into my local Starbucks this morning and started chatting to one of the lovely girls behind the counter, she was upset about her life and just wanted to feel great about herself.  She didn't know how to go about it and said she was fed up of her feelings of jealousy and insecurity especially when she has a boyfriend.  These feelings were ruling her life and they were making her feel very unhappy.

After talking to her very briefly we discovered that she really did not like herself and I asked her where this belief came from, she looked at me quite quizzically but I carried on and explained that her beliefs have stemmed from her thoughts and her thoughts were just things and she could (if she wanted to) with focus and determination change her thoughts and therefore change her beliefs about herself.  No amount of new clothes, a great hair cut or pretty shiny things will ever make this woman feel good.  She has to take the time to delve in deep into her mind and start to question why she thinks this way about herself and where has this got her.

I would hazard a guess that there are alot of women out in this world that do not really like themselves and have no idea how to go about changing this.  From my own personal and working experiences I know that for deep everlasting change women have to start in their minds.  They have to start focusing on what and how they are thinking about and learn to direct these thoughts with a little bit more intelligence.  We are creators of our own destinies and it all starts with our thoughts.

So over the weekend have a good look at your thoughts and your belief structures that you have made up about yourself.  Are they serving you well or are they bringing you down.  When you realize that you have all the power you will ever need to change your wonderful self then the magic happens.

A Sensual Woman

How would you describe a sensual woman, is it her looks or is it something not quite so tangible?

There are many beautiful women in this world but not many of them have true sensual qualities about.  A sensual woman is a woman who is ready to embrace everything about herself, she has learnt to love herself completely and she is not caught up in herself or her insecurities.  She knows that there are parts of her body that are wonderful and there are parts of her body that she is not so happy with but she plays up the wonderful parts and has fun doing so in the process.  

A sensual woman has learnt how to hold herself, she walks a certain way, she sits in a way that invites communication and she talks slowly and calmly.  She understands that flirting is just fun and playful and she enjoys flirting with everyone she comes into contact with men, women, babies and even pets!

A sensual woman understands that her body is her temple and she takes great care of herself every single day.  She is the most important person in her world as when she is happy then everyone around her is happy.  She is feminine creature through and through - she loves to connect with others, she smiles and she creates an environment of pleasure that surrounds her that entices people towards her.  

So today become aware of how you are holding yourself, how you are projecting yourself out into the world.  Have fun with this, just start with a smile, a cheeky wink and see what happens. Remember be who you want to attract!

Women need women.

We need our girlfriends, we need to bond, connect, share and express our truest, deepest feelings to the ones that we love and trust.  We need their support and their unconditional love.  We need to feel part of a womanly tribe, it helps us to grow, expand, it builds our self esteem, our confidence and ultimately our love and compassion.  Women are unique creatures, we are born nurtures and we are born listeners.  We love to help out and we love to be of service to the ones we truly love.

Beautiful creatures this is all so very wonderful but we need to start we ourselves, we need to connect deep within and start a beautiful love affair with ourselves, only once we start this experience we can open up to giving so more freely to other women and receiving from other women.

How many times do you see other women during your day and wish them well in your head, or even better give them a beautiful compliment.  Having worked with women for so many years I have seen my fair share of bitchiness and nastiness  and of course I have also experienced having these feelings myself on many occasions.

The more work I do on myself the more I am able to give to my beautiful sisters, there is nothing more than I enjoy to tell a woman that she looks adorable, sexy, gorgeous, it makes her day and it makes my day.  We need to come together beautiful creatures, we need to celebrate the female form in all its wondrous spectacular glory, we need to start to notice our feelings of jealousy and resentment against our beautiful sisters.  We need to big each other up, celebrate our differences and know that we are all in this together and when all our energies are going in the same direction- WOW- then something magical will happen.

So go on.... tell a woman today how absolutely gorgeous she is, look her deep into her eyes and let her know that you really mean it!

Your hips and your sexual energy

How aware are you of your hips?  Are they part of you, do you move them, sway them, circle them, enjoy them? Or are they just there following you about, not really part of you, you almost wishing they were'nt there.

Over the years I have had a love hate relationship with my hips, they were always too big, too curvy, just too much!  In my 20's I tried to disguise them with sweatshirts wrapped around my hips, long t-shirts.  In a word I hated my hips.  As I emerged out of my 20s and into my 30s I found myself newly divorced after 10 years of marriage and I started to look at my hips in a different way, when I put music on I started to swirl, circle and bump my hips to the music and you know what? It made me feel good!!! It made me feel more than good, it made me feel powerful and womanly.   I loved the feeling and at every opportunity I played my music loud and danced with abandonment and there began my love affair with my hips.

Our hips beautiful creatures house all what makes us women.  This is where our power lies and when we can access this power we cant help but feel good.  Over the years I have come across so many women who are rigid in the pelvis and hips and have no idea that they can move their hips in such beautiful ways.  Encouraging women to explore their innate movement in their hips helps to release them out of their old rigid patterns and starts moving them into the richness and brilliance of their sexual energy.

Our female sexual energy is part of us, it is what brings us alive and makes us feel vibrant,happy and womanly.   Harnessing your sexual energy is not just reserved for sex, it really does light us up from the inside, it brings an essence to a woman that no pills, lotions or potions can ever do.   No wonder woman love belly dancing, pole dancing and burlesque - it is a unique way to tap into you true self by learning to release and move from your hips and letting that wild untamed woman out!

Bring this beautiful experience into your daily life, start looking at how you walk, start leading from your hips, hold your body up high and squeeze your butt cheeks as you powerfully strut through your day!
