A post I’ve been sitting on for a few weeks , one that I’ve been unsure how to write, I’m not great with words and at the moment my head is always so cloudy and unclear (thanks perimenopause ) Well the simple fact is I’m struggling with life at the moment, I’m drowning in work, emails, enquiries, I’m anxious, stressed, often. full of rage with my kids 😭. I just can’t get on top of anything, I’ve become a grumpy and super inpatient mum/wife, i do not like this version of Shona. Im pretty sure I can blame the rage to perimenopause but to get out of this hole I need to put my self and family first and give my self a moment to breathe. I feel I’m chasing my tail which just keeps on growing. Something just had to give as I can’t keep going on like this, Ive worked out I cant give the kids back 😉. So stopping being a mum is not on the cards, so I’ve decided to stop work and close my books for a while come June 1st. Ill still be doing all my post in June but won’t be taking on anymore sessions. It might only be a few months or it might be longer.
I’m also aware I have many vouchers which have been gifted. I will open my books in September and October to these clients who have credit/vouchers. I hope I can capture as many of those clients in that period as possible. Please get in touch so we can book these in.
I also know I have quite a few people wanting to book in, I’m sorry I haven’t booked you in. I do still have a couple of session times available in May. So if you’re keen email me.
When I do open my books there will be some changes, I will mostly only offer sessions during the week. At the moment I’m spending so many weekends away from my family, with so much travel to Adelaide and beyond. I want and need to put my family first, we all know this seasons of life doesn’t last long🥹
I will offer the odd weekend session but there will additional costs. My new website down the track will explain all these changes and prices.
Anyway sorry that’s a bit of an essay thanks for taking the time to listen
