Balance . Pause . Restore, Wellbeing with Donna

🎃 A little less spooky… a little more soothing.

I’m launching my sound baths with a cosy Halloween special, and I’d love you to join me! 🦋

An hour to get comfortable, pause and enjoy the sounds of crystal singing bowls and other instruments. No experience needed—just come as you are.

📅 Sunday 25 October 2026
🕥 10:30–11:30am
📍 Stay & Play, New Road, Ayr

You can lie on a yoga mat or sit on a sofa if that feels more comfortable. Spaces are limited, so please let me know your seating preference when booking.

Wear comfortable clothes and bring a blanket and pillow to help you settle in.

💌 Message me directly to book your space or ask any questions.

A gentle autumn Sunday morning, with a little time just for you. 🍂

✨ A new chapter for Balance Pause Restore ✨

I have now completed my sound practitioner training, adding another beautiful tool to the work I offer.

For me, this isn’t about creating something completely separate. It is about deepening the wellbeing experiences I already provide through Balance Pause Restore and Discover the Butterfly.

Sound can be used gently in so many ways — to support grounding, stillness, reflection, creativity and a moment away from the noise of everyday life.

Over the coming weeks, I’ll be exploring how sound can become part of:

🌿 One-to-one wellbeing sessions
🌿 Holistic treatments
🌿 Small-group sound experiences
🌿 Discover the Butterfly
🌿 Community workshops and events

Every experience will be adaptable. You won’t have to meditate perfectly, lie in a particular position or know anything about sound healing. Comfort, choice and individual needs will always come first.

I’m excited to bring everything I have learned together — my holistic therapies, group facilitation, lived experience, creativity and now sound — to create supportive spaces where people can pause and reconnect with themselves.

More details will be coming soon 🦋

🌿 A little booking update 🌿

I’ve noticed some people are still trying to book appointments through Fresha, so I wanted to let you know that I’m no longer based in the treatment room and am now offering mobile treatments in the comfort of your own home. 💜

Please message this page directly to book, as I’m no longer taking bookings through Fresha. DM is the best way to arrange an appointment until my new booking system is in place.

Send me your location, the treatment you’d like and your preferred day, and we can find a time that works for you.

Thank you for your continued support 🦋

🦋 The moment an idea began to take flight…

This photograph was taken after I delivered the first Discover the Butterfly taster at the Wellbeing Festival.

Until then, so much of the programme had existed in my notes, plans, workbook pages and imagination. Sharing it with real people allowed me to see how its combination of reflection, creativity and gentle wellbeing practices could work in a group setting.

The taster helped shape the programme that is now being delivered through its first six-week pilot.

Discover the Butterfly has been created to help participants:

🦋 Pause and notice how they are feeling
🦋 Understand themselves with greater compassion
🦋 Explore their strengths and support needs
🦋 Connect without pressure or judgement
🦋 Identify gentle, realistic ways of moving forward

This picture captures one important moment—but the journey has continued to grow since then.

🦋 Today, Discover the Butterfly took its first real step into the community.

I had the privilege of introducing the programme to the Wellbeing CIC group. I shared a little about the journey behind it and asked if they would allow me to support them through their own butterfly journey over the next six weeks.

I was delighted when they said yes. 💜

Six women, each with their own experiences, needs and preferred level of participation, will be taking this journey together. Creating a space where everyone can join in in a way that feels safe and comfortable to them is at the heart of Discover the Butterfly.

This is a free pilot programme, giving me the opportunity to deliver, learn from and further develop the sessions before taking Discover the Butterfly into the wider community.

I couldn’t have reached this point without the continued encouragement and support of Ayrshire Healing Centre. I’m incredibly grateful to them for believing in me and in what I am creating.

Today felt like the beginning of something very special—and I’m so excited for this next chapter.

Next week, my butterfly officially takes flight. 🦋
