Hiya.
Hi, I’m Hilary.
Welcome to Little Hills!
Little Hills is a little more than a play on my name.
It’s the way I live.
Step-by-step achieving new things.
Being more than I thought I could be.
Feeling ok.
Getting better at feeling.
Spending time with people I love.
YOU + your little hills
I can help YOU to…
reduce physical discomfort
relax
and be more comfortable in your body
do more than you think you can
feel mentally stronger and healthier
realise, accept and enjoy the wiggly nature of life and nature
(you’d be so bored with a constant straight road really, eh?)
overcome obstacles
by learning tools
to help you manage the little obstacles and challenges in your life
Q - How do you see the Little Hills in your life??
Ups and downs?
A bit all over the show?
Going through the motions?
Feeling like you are standing still maybe?
my journey
-
I had my 1st reflexology sessions back in 1996, and instantly loved it.
I found it relaxing, a tad sore at times and so energising that I ran the whole way home after my 4th session (about a mile)!
I felt FREE + SO ALIVE that day, I’ll never forget it.
It shifted something in me and lifted me out of feeling tired and fed up.
I truly believe in the POWER OF OUR BODIES and that they work for us, not against us.
We just need to listen a little more and take a little more care.

My yoga journey began in Brighton, UK, in 2000.
It got me to feel my body more (which wasn’t as difficult as I’d imagined) and it eased my mind.
And after 25 years, my mind and body still get a nice internal glow after!
I have practised many types of yoga, done classes in gyms and dedicated yoga studios, been to retreats in Europe and India.
I am stronger and more flexible because of it.
Yoga grounds me.
It reminds me to breathe deeply and relax.

Coaching started transforming me back in 2019.
I was so intrigued at how a few questions posed by my coach, could really get me to think differently and to look at myself in a positive way.
My 18-months of training taught me so much about life and myself.
It took me as far out of my comfort zone as I’ve ever been. It was tough, I’m not going to lie!
I kept going.
AND it was totally worth the effort.
I have changed, for good.
