Books by Lucie

Alongside my therapeutic work, I am also an author. My writing explores emotional wellbeing, self-understanding, personal growth and the connection between the mind, body, emotions and spirit.  My books are written for people who are interested in healing, reflection, spirituality and finding a deeper connection with themselves. 

What is Your Body Saying Today?

 A Gentle Self-Observation Guide to Chinese Medicine Patterns - With 28-Day Tracker

This TCM guide is a gentle self-awareness workbook inspired by Traditional Chinese Medicine and from my clients who often express wanting to know more about what their body is showing them. 

Designed as a simple, daily guide with a 28-day tracker included. It helps you notice the small signs your body may be showing you through your tongue, nails, emotions, digestion, sleep, temperature and energy. Rather than encouraging self-diagnosis, this book invites you to listen with curiosity.

You'll learn how certain body signs can be understood through a TCM lens, including possible patterns linked with Qi deficiency, Blood deficiency, Dampness, Heat, Cold, Yin deficiency and emotional meridian themes. 

Inside, you'll find easy to follow guidance on tongue signs, nail signs, the first emotion of the morning, food support, acupressure points, daily check-ins and simple reflection prompts.


Calm within Chaos

A Gentle Guide for Nervous System Healing and Living Well with Chronic illness   

 

Calm within Chaos is a compassionate guide for anyone living with symptoms that feel confusing, frightening or unpredictable. Written from both personal experience and a nervous - system informed perspective, this book offers reassurance, understanding and gentle tools for people navigating conditions such as FND, POTS, ME/CFS, fibromyalgia and other invisible illnesses.

To You Who Got Quiet

A Gentle Guide to People-Pleasing, the Fawn Response and Preventing Burnout

Have you ever found yourself saying yes when you wanted to say no? Putting everyone else's feelings before your own? Staying quiet to avoid conflict, even when something inside you was screaming to be heard?

To You Who Got Quiet explores the fawn response — a survival response where we learn to please others, suppress our needs and avoid confrontation in order to feel safe.

Written with compassion and understanding, this book explores how people-pleasing patterns develop, the impact they can have on our emotional wellbeing and nervous system, and how we can begin to reconnect with our authentic selves.

A gentle reminder that your voice matters, your needs are valid, and you deserve to take up space. 

High Vibrations - revised and updated edition

A Holistic Guide to Emotional Wellbeing & Self Discovery

Five years after the original publication of High Vibrations, this fully revised and expanded edition brings together a deeper understanding of emotional wellbeing, holistic therapy, spirituality and self-discovery.

Drawing on my professional experience as an acupuncturist, hypnotherapist and holistic practitioner, alongside my own lived experience, I explore the relationship between our thoughts, emotions, beliefs, body and sense of meaning. 

Inside, you’ll explore limiting beliefs, subconscious patterns, emotional awareness, chakras and meridians, Traditional Chinese Medicine, journaling, relaxation, self-hypnosis, EFT, acupressure, boundaries, intuition, manifestation and much more.

There are also reflective questions, practical exercises and fun manifestation activities throughout, giving you opportunities to pause, experiment and apply the ideas to your own life.

This isn’t a book about forcing yourself to think positively or trying to feel “high vibe” all the time. It’s about understanding yourself more deeply, listening to what your mind and body may be telling you, and finding ways to live with greater awareness, compassion and alignment.

About the Author

I'm Lucie, a therapist, wellbeing practitioner and author based in Lincolnshire.

My first book High Vibrations was a deeply personal and meaningful project, and it fulfilled a childhood dream of becoming an author.  Through both my writing and my therapeutic work, I am passionate about helping people feel more connected with themselves, more compassionate towards their experiences, and more open to healing in a way that feels gentle, personal and empowering.  

Themes I write about: Emotional wellbeing; Mental health; healing and personal growth; The mind-body connection; Energy and Intuition; Inner peace and self-connection; Moving through difficult life experiences; Finding meaning and perspective.
