About Me
Hello, I'm Ally
I believe feeling good is an important part of our everyday. All it requires is an open mind, a willingness to make small changes and the adoption of new practises.
Feeling good doesn’t require you to be happy 24/7, to opt out of everything or flip your life upside down. Feeling good just requires you to show up and make small shifts and add a little permission.
Giving myself permission to do things differently...
In 2011 armed with Gretchen Rubin’s The Happiness Project and tired of constantly feeling unhappy, sad and down about life, I set about creating a life I loved and wanted to get up for in the morning.
It took an open mind, a willingness to make small changes, adding new practices to my life, and realising I didn’t need to actually change as a person but that I needed to go deeper within myself and learn to connect with myself more. Realising that it was ok not to be happy 24/7, that I didn’t need to pack my life up into 2 suitcases and move to Bali and instead, I just needed to be open to change and to let go of the old ways of thinking that I had and giving myself time to work its magic on me.

I’m not without my own suffering and losses, just so you don’t think I’m a happy person all of the time, in 2006 I was officially diagnosed with my chronic illness Endometriosis which has affected all areas of my life in big and small ways. In 2009 my now husband and I moved 364 miles away from our families and in 2010, less than 6 months after our move and 7 days after I turned 24 I lost my Dad to cancer. All of these were for me life-altering events that fundamentally changed me as a human being.
self-kindness is the pathway to the results you're seeking
Give yourself permission to know that you deserve to feel good!
Because you do deserve to feel good.
You don’t need to wait for the time to be right, you don’t need to wait for the start of a new month, and you don’t need to wait for a Monday to come around either.
You can start right now, even if your life is full of challenges or difficulties. You can start right here, right now. You can start where you are, take your time and go at your own pace.
I’ve worked with clients who often feel like working on their own feel-good journey is selfish. But feeling good is not selfish or taking the easy route or that everything is easy 100% of the time or that you’re a happy person 24/7. Feeling good is something only you can really define for yourself but it is generally defined as a “feeling of ease, well-being, meaning and fulfilment.”
Feeling good is both the end goal and a means to get there.
