Essence of Me - June

If you’ve been in a relationship that took more from you than you realised…
and you’re now navigating the emotional weight that can linger long after it ends…

or quietly starting to recognise patterns that don’t feel right.......

This space is for you.

Essence of Me is a gentle, supportive monthly gathering for women who have experienced controlling or emotionally harmful relationships and are finding their way back to themselves.

Because even when things change…
the impact doesn’t always leave with you.

You may still feel:

• emotionally drained or easily triggered
• unsure of yourself or your decisions
• affected by ongoing contact or co-parenting dynamics
• like you’ve lost parts of who you used to be

And often… still holding it all together for everyone else.

This is NOT about:

• Retelling your story
• Reliving the details or
• Fixing yourself, as you are NOT broken

This is a space where you can:

• Take a breath
• Feel understood without needing to explain everything
• Gently rebuild your sense of self and steadiness
• Learn simple ways to stay calm and grounded in real-life situations
• Reconnect with who you are—beyond what you’ve been through

Each 1.5 hr circle is thoughtfully structured to feel calm, safe, and supportive.

Together we will explore:

• Understanding emotional triggers (without self-judgement)
• Why your body still reacts after the relationship has ended
• Rebuilding self-trust and inner steadiness
• Letting go of the constant mental and emotional load
• Finding your way back to a softer, more grounded version of yourself

• A warm, welcoming space
• A short, grounded guided meditation, with option to use Essential Oils as provided.
• Simple, practical teachings to help you understand your emotional responses
• Reflective journalling prompts
• Optional sharing in a supportive, non-judgemental environment
• Simple tools you can use in everyday life
• A supportive, small group environment

We close with tea, connection, and space to simply be.

• Women who have left controlling or emotionally harmful relationships and are navigating the healing process afterward.
• If you are still in the relationship but are beginning to recognise patterns or dynamics that don’t feel right, you are also warmly welcome.
• You feel overwhelmed, triggered, or disconnected from yourself
• You are ready for support as you begin to strenghen your boundaries rebuild your sense of self

This space offers emotional support, connection, and practical tools.

It is NOT a counselling or crisis service.

If you are currently in a situation where you feel unsafe, overwhelmed, or need deeper support, it is important to have additional professional guidance alongside this space.

This is a supportive space, not therapy or legal advice.You are always welcome to share only what feels safe for you.

You deserve to feel supported in the right way for you.

Hi, I’m Sue-Ellen.

I bring over 30 years of experience as a nurse, alongside my Personal Life Experiences, experience as a Meditation and Mindfulness Practitioner, Sacred Women`s Circle Facilitator, Reiki Master, and Sound Practitioner.

I understand the impact that ongoing stress and emotional strain can have on the body and mind, especially when you’ve spent a long time holding everything together for the sake of others.

This space has been created to offer something simple, steady, and supportive…where you can finally take a breath, feel held, and begin reconnecting with yourself again.

Numbers are intentionally kept small (max 8 women) to ensure the space feels safe, personal, and supported.
