Our Self Care
Embracing Healing Through Simple Acts of Care.
Self-care is essential but often difficult in times of loss. This page shares personal self-care routines from our team, offering insights into how small, nurturing acts can support emotional healing and connection.
All of us know that our self care can be very difficult, and many of us struggle with the guilt of thinking we need to do something else with this time.
However, it is vital.
Going through multiple losses can leave so much fear, uncertainty and complications in a persons soul. It is important to nourish this spirit with warmth and hugs and human connection.
We watched our parents care for us and for each other. This has empowered us to care for ourselves.
We moved through our days with open wounds which in time we allowed to heal. It is a process.
Go gently and with grace,
Aishleen, Katie-Anne & Charlotte
Katie-Anne’s self-care looks something like this:
A glass of hot water with lemon in the morning-she feels like she has completed at least one good thing that day
Remembering self compassion
Going very slowly
Writing in her journal with sad songs in the background
Tea and toast in bed
An open fire with friends
Holding hands with her husband
And cuddling with Bobby
Aishleen’s self-care looks something like this:
Warm, clean, white bed sheets
A good book/Netflix
A good nights sleep
A walk by the sea
Now that Bobby’s come along- a cuddle
Remembering that her friends love her
And when she’s really being good to herself –a trip to Dublin for a facial by her friend Una in Anu Beauty and a wash and blowdry
