Welcome to the 8 Minute Circle
This is more than just a page, it's a gentle circle where 8 minutes of presence can create ripples of healing, connection and support. A circle where we remember we are not alone. Everyone who enters here becomes part of the circle whether you offer 8 minutes to yourself, to someone you know, or reach out for a reset chat.
The Science of 8 Minutes
Research shows that even 8 minutes of meaningful connection—whether that’s a chat in person, on the phone or online can:
-
Reduce feelings of loneliness.
-
Boost mood and emotional wellbeing.
-
Help us feel heard, seen, and less overwhelmed.
-
Rewire the brain for more positive social connections.
How to Use This Space
Option 1: Request an 8-Minute Chat from Me
​
Use the chat button in the corner.
I will get back to you as soon as possible and give you 8 minutes of my full attention—holding space, reflecting with you, or simply being a calm voice in your corner.

Option 2: Offer an 8-Minute Circle to Someone Else
​
Right now, you could be someone’s 8-minute reset without them even knowing, and help yourself along the way. Start right now by using the timer and dedicating 8 minutes of your time to:
​
-
Send a friend/s a message.
-
Call someone.
-
Invite someone for a coffee or make plans to meet up with a family member or friend.
-
Hold space, distraction-free, for 8 precious minutes.
​
Small moments.
Big shifts.
A Growing Circle
This is just the start...
In time, the 8-Minute Circle will open into a dedicated space here on the website.
But for now, if you'd like to connect with others already exploring this gentle practice, I’ve created a private Facebook group where you can:
​
-
Offer or request 8-minute connections.
-
Simply feel less alone, more seen, and more held.
​
You can join the 8-Minute Circle Facebook group that I have just started, to begin building a community of people who can lean on each other and connect.
Together, we keep the ripple going.
