Dear Fear
It’s a funny old relationship we have, you and me.
Sometimes I think while you stop others from doing things, you propel me forward.
What am I afraid of? I don’t really know. I’ve faced so much pain I’m not sure there is anything left to fear.
Over the years, in the past, I’ve felt the fear of not being safe in my own home, my own body and my own life.
But, as a result, I don’t fear death, pain or grief. I’ve befriended so many of life’s enemies that invoke fear in my peers.
Yet I do still feel you. I feel you when I open up to being vulnerability, to authenticity, to truth. But I power on. I keep facing you and opening my heart because in doing so I am uncovering myself, I am growing and learning and truly feeling all that life has to offer.
I am so grateful for you, my dear friend named fear because when I feel you I know I am pushing myself to the edges of my boundaries and, in doing so, I know I am growing into the best version of myself.
Thank you for being my marker, my flag, my guide.
This is the kind of fear I crave – but none of that shitty life threatening fear please…I’ve had my fair share of that already!
Love, Fi xx

Passionate about what restores people to a state of wholeness and optimal health – in addition to what predisposes them to physical, emotional and spiritual ‘dis-ease’ – she works with clients to guide them on their journey back to wholeness. Using her personal experience of recovering from a ‘terminal’ illness through a deep understanding of mind, body and spirit health and healing, alongside her background as a doctorate researcher for the NHS and Scottish Government, she has created a deep understanding of what it means to be optimally healthy and whole. Fi is a visionary in her approach to holistic health, bridging the seemingly disparate worlds of conventional and complementary therapies to create approaches that guide people on their journey back to wholeness and , ultimately, holistic health.
Fi has been featured in two BBC documentaries, in countless radio shows, and in newspaper and magazine articles across the globe. She also runs workshops and events across the UK.
