From swinging high above the Balinese jungle to walking through the doors of a tattoo studio! 😂 Another fear faced, another memory made… and this time, one I’ll carry with me forever! But this isn’t just any tattoo. 💕 It’s a design I created myself, bringing together three very special meanings woven into one beautiful design: 🎀 The pink breast cancer ribbon, representing my journey. 💗 A love heart, symbolising love, life and everything I hold dear. 🦋 The letter M, inspired by my Mumatherapy® logo, representing my passion for helping others to live fearlessly and become More Alive Than Before. Not a reminder of what cancer took from me, but of everything I still have to look forward to! A huge thank you to the amazing John, @johntreharne he’s an absolute legend! who has been tattooing for over 45 years, and his lovely wife Kate, who runs the shop. They made the whole experience even more memorable and made a donation to @breastcancernow ( a charity also close to their hearts 💕) And the finished result? I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! 😍 After everything the past 18 months have thrown my way, I’m more determined than ever to embrace new experiences, make memories, step outside my comfort zone and refuse to let my new medical conditions, including adrenal insufficiency, define what I can achieve. I’m learning to embrace my new limitations without allowing them to limit my love of life! Because life is for living, not just surviving! 🦋 So tell me… what’s one thing you’ve always wanted to do but fear has held you back from trying? #FeelTheFearAndDoItAnyway #grantysgoingplaces #tattoo #travelblogger #traveladventure

Well, you certainly never know what you’re going to discover on your travels! 🇮🇩 This time, our Bali adventures took a rather spiritual turn when I welcomed I Ketut Budiasa, a traditional Balinese healer from Sanur, to our hotel spa for a private chakra alignment. 🌸 His healing practices have been passed down through generations, and the experience involved cleansing and balancing the body’s seven chakras to encourage harmony and positive energy. ✨ But here’s where things got interesting! 😂 He started reading my palms, and I couldn’t believe the very first thing he told me… “You say sorry far too much!” ✋🤣 Well, Paul nearly could have told him that himself! Last year, Paul, Holly and Dylan all said exactly the same thing… “Mum, why are you always saying sorry? It’s not your fault it rained and the washing got wet on the line!” 😂☔ Apparently, even travelling halfway around the world can’t hide my habit of apologising for absolutely everything! 🤣 Whether you’re a believer in spiritual healing or simply curious about different cultures and traditions, that’s what we love about travelling. 🌏❤️ Discovering new places, meeting fascinating people, embracing different experiences and sometimes learning something unexpected about yourself along the way! Another wonderful Bali memory to add to our adventures. 🥰🌴 So tell me… are you a serial apologiser too, or is it just me? 😂 #GrantysGoingPlaces #BaliAdventures #BalineseCulture #TravelExperiences #MakingMemories

Fresh from the most wonderfully relaxing Heaven and Earth head-to-toe full-body massage here in beautiful Bali. 🌺 A little time to switch off from the outside world, release tension and simply BE. Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do for ourselves is absolutely nothing. No rushing, no expectations, no pressure to be anything other than ourselves. This personal retreat has been about so much more than sunshine and beautiful experiences. It’s been about slowing down, reconnecting with myself and rediscovering that inner spark. ✨ A reminder that self-care isn’t selfish. It’s essential. These moments of reflection and reconnection have sparked so many exciting ideas for Mumatherapy®. More on that very soon… 🦋 Relax. Restore. Reset.

Another beautiful experience on my Bali wellness journey. 🌸 I had the privilege of welcoming I Ketut Budiasa, a traditional Balinese healer from Sanur, who came especially to our hotel spa to perform a private chakra alignment for me. His healing practices have been passed down through generations, and he specialises in cleansing and releasing blocked energies to encourage balance and harmony across the body’s seven chakras. But what I wasn’t expecting was just how much he seemed to know about me simply by reading my palms! ✋✨ The very first thing he told me was that I say sorry far too much! 😂 Well, that made me laugh because last year Paul, Holly and Dylan all pulled me up on exactly the same thing! “Mum, why are you always saying sorry? It’s not your fault it rained and the washing got wet on the line!” 🤣 Clearly, I have a habit of apologising for things completely beyond my control! Whether you believe in spiritual healing or not, sometimes these experiences encourage us to reflect on ourselves in ways we never expected. After everything my body and mind have experienced over the past 18 months, taking time to slow down, reconnect and embrace a little self-discovery feels particularly meaningful. These moments of reflection and reconnection have sparked so many exciting ideas for the next chapter of Mumatherapy®. More on that very soon… 🦋 And I’m curious… are you a serial apologiser too? 😂 #Mumatherapy #ChakraAlignment #MindBodyConnection #MoreAliveThanBefore #RelaxRestoreReset

A couple of years ago in Thailand, one of my absolute dreams was to bathe with elephants. I couldn’t wait… until I actually stood next to one and realised just how ENORMOUS they were! 😂 Something I hadn’t expected at all ( signing a if they crush me disclaimer beforehand didn’t help!) 😂 Fast-forward to Bali and, standing at the top of this swing overlooking the rice fields, that exact same feeling came flooding back! The video doesn’t even show how high it felt or just how big that drop looked when I was standing there waiting to be strapped in. 😳 Part of me was definitely thinking, Why am I doing this?! 😂 But I did it anyway. And I’m SO glad I did. Because some of the best memories we’ve made while travelling have started with that little moment of thinking, I’m not sure I can do this… …and then doing it anyway! 💚🌴 Another one for the Grantys Going Places memory bank. 💕 #GrantysGoingPlaces #FeelTheFearAndDoItAnyway #BaliAdventure #Tegallalang #MakingMemories

This is what Feeling the Fear and being More Alive Than Before looks like to me. Not simply surviving. Living. Saying yes to experiences that scare me. Travelling. Laughing. Making memories. Stepping outside my comfort zone and appreciating just how precious life really is. A couple of years ago in Thailand, one of my dreams was to bathe with elephants. I was so excited — until I stood beside them and realised just how enormous they actually were! 🐘 I suddenly felt genuinely scared, which I hadn’t expected at all ( signing a if they crush me disclaimer beforehand didn’t help!) 😂 But I felt the fear and did it anyway… and it became one of those experiences I’ll never forget. Fast-forward to Bali, standing above the beautiful rice fields waiting to be strapped into this swing, and that same feeling came rushing back! The video doesn’t even capture how high it felt or how big that drop looked. I was genuinely scared! 😂 But again, I did it anyway. Because after everything the last couple of years have taught me, one thing stands out more than anything… I don’t want fear to make my world smaller. I want to experience it all. 💕 Being brave doesn’t mean we don’t feel fear. Sometimes it’s about feeling it, acknowledging it, and deciding we’re going to live anyway. This chapter of my life isn’t about getting back to who I was before cancer. It’s about becoming More Alive Than Before. 🌿✨ #MoreAliveThanBefore #Mumatherapy #LifeAfterCancer #FeelTheFear #LivingFully

Another beautiful experience here in Bali, embracing the island’s spiritual traditions and taking time to nourish my mind, body and soul. 🌺 Today began with a wonderfully relaxing full-body massage and facial at our hotel spa. Pure bliss! 💆‍♀️💚 Tonight, I experienced Sandikala, a beautiful traditional Balinese twilight ritual, dressing in traditional Balinese clothing and taking part in sacred offerings, chants and blessings. 🙏🌸 Sandikala marks the transition between day and night, a spiritually significant moment in Balinese culture. It’s a time to pause, reflect, welcome serenity and restore harmony and balance. ✨ And tomorrow, my wellness journey continues as a spiritual guru is coming especially to our hotel spa to give me a personal chakra alignment using healing crystals. 💎🌈 Chakra alignment is an ancient spiritual practice focused on balancing the body’s seven main energy centres. Crystals are traditionally believed to encourage harmony, emotional balance and inner peace. After everything my body and mind have been through over the past 18 months, these moments of stillness, self-care and spiritual connection feel particularly meaningful. 💚 Taking time to appreciate different cultures, embrace new experiences and enjoy everything this beautiful world has to offer. Feeling the fear and doing it anyway… living life more fully, one adventure at a time! 🌍❤️ ✨ As the sun sets on today, what positive intention will you set for tomorrow? 🌙❤ Relax ~ Restore ~ Reset ✨ #GrantysGoingPlaces #BaliAdventures #BalineseCulture #BaliWellness #NewMoon

🌴🐟 A little piece of paradise at Tirta Gangga Water Palace, Bali! 🇮🇩💚 This beautiful royal water palace was a real treat for Paul, especially with all the magnificent koi carp swimming around us! 🐟❤️ Anyone who knows Paul knows how much he loves koi carp. He even has them tattooed on his body! We had our own beautiful koi pond built into our decking at home, full of these gorgeous fish, until last year. So being surrounded by so many of them here in Bali brought back some lovely memories. 🥰 👑 A little history too! Tirta Gangga was built in 1948 by the last King of Karangasem, during the final years of Dutch colonial rule. The King actually helped build these beautiful gardens himself! Sadly, much of the palace was destroyed by the eruption of Mount Agung in 1963, but it has since been beautifully restored. Its name means “Water of the Ganges”, reflecting the sacred springs that flow through its pools and fountains. 💦 And as if the koi weren’t enough, we even spotted a hanging fruit bat 🦇🌳 Such a peaceful, magical place filled with history, nature and a little nostalgia for us both. Another wonderful memory from our Bali adventures! 🌺❤️ #GrantysGoingPlaces #TirtaGangga #BaliAdventures #KoiCarp #ExploreBali
