Sometimes things just don’t go as planned. In fact… they rarely do!
Would you believe it’s been a whole year since I first felt the strong nudge to step into a new identity - one that spoke not just of me, but of the whole team behind the work here?
And straight away, the name “Being Herd” popped into my head. It felt perfect. But I also needed time to sit with it… to settle into the idea.
By December, I had finally begun working on the new website, planning to use the quiet winter months to bring it all to life.
But the universe had other ideas!
Just as I was about to trademark the name, a friend and colleague said:
“That’s my name! I trademarked it two years ago, I just haven’t used it yet!”
I was devastated.
But looking back, it was fascinating. She’d never mentioned the name in conversation, but at the time it came to me, we were in touch a lot. I still wonder if I picked it up from the energy around her… from the collective field we shared.
So… then what?
I had to find another name that felt just as good or, hopefully, better.
And that took time.
A lot of searching, asking, and honestly… feeling disappointed and unsure. My vulnerability around the whole thing had definitely spiked after the “Being Herd” experience.
But as with all things, clarity eventually came in its own time.
About seven months later, after seeing one of my many lists of possible names that still didn’t feel quite right, my sister-in-law, Harriette, casually said:
“I think ‘Herd in Harmony’ works well for you.”
And in that moment, it landed in my heart. I knew.
Not only does it describe the herd themselves - each with their own energy, their own unique frequency they offer to the group and to my clients - making them truly a herd in harmony…
It also reflects the sound aspect of what I do; the harmony of light language, the tones, the frequencies that come through when I sing or channel sound.
And beyond that, it speaks to how I hope my clients feel- truly heard and seen on all levels: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.
But the herd isn’t just the horses. It includes the wonderful humans who help care for the land and the animals, and of course, the unseen herd in spirit; my guides, the ascended masters, the elementals, and the beings who support the healing work.
And your guides, your spirit animals, your ancestors, your loved ones in spirit - they’re all part of the greater herd that shows up to support this work.
So this name, Herd in Harmony, holds many layers of meaning… and it feels so right.
It took time. It tested my patience. There were challenges, delays- even my concussion slowed me down. But now, looking back, I see it all unfolded as it needed to.
I hope our story reminds you:
we can’t always predict the timeline. Things rarely go exactly to plan.
Sometimes, even when we think we’re ready, there’s more growth, more learning, more experiences we need before stepping into the next level of ourselves.
The key is to let go of control… to take small steps towards the goal… to trust the process… to stay open and curious.
And believe me, that letting go wasn’t easy for me either! Another layer of healing… releasing that old belief that things have to happen quickly and perfectly. I thought I’d done that work, but life showed me there was a deeper level to explore.
And you know what? The journey continues.
The healing, growth, and transformation keep flowing… spiralling back around with new perspectives and new layers to see, feel and release. It’s all part of the beauty of being human, we just need the reminders sometimes.
So if you need a reminder… if you want support to enjoy the process, to trust your own timing, to get playful and curious as you move toward more self-love, acceptance and joy…
The Herd in Harmony is here to help- at your pace, in your own way.
