Rachel Sparks Dance

20 weeks... Halfway through! 😳🥹🍌 Bump is proper popping wiggling around now ☺️

It's taken me a little while to accept my changing body. No matter how much you want a thing, when the thing happens there are so many complex feelings and realisations that you can't prepare for. I am forever changed. My evolution to becoming a parent will keep teaching me to surrender to the unknowable possibilities. All is welcome even if I don't like it.

I am blessed and I am human

Wild , chaotic and beautiful...just like my fave jumper 💕

Ummm so a secret I've kept for a long while now...

It's been a journey to get here, I might write more about it sometime, but for now I'm so very excited and blessed to announce that MiniSparks is on their way, due late June 2026 🙏🏼✨🌱

Thank you to all the wonderful people who've been supporting me to this point!! ❤️

Happy 99th Birthday to Nanny Sparks 🌟 how lucky I am to continue to get to know you, to listen to your stories and feel your kindness, warmth and love.

You have fully accepted me and all my q***rness.

You embody your name, Grace Sparks, you're gentle and also such a trooper, having been through so many health scares over the years, you continue to amaze us with your courage and strength. And how lucky we are that your mind is still so bright!!

I appreciate your honesty, I'm sad that these final years are getting less stimulating as your eye sight fades and your circle of friends gets smaller, I will remember to bring music and dancing every visit from now on.

I'm so glad you enjoyed your special day 💖

Happy Solstice beautiful people! Blessed my body with dance and a dip, soothing the churning possibilities to come ✨🙏🏼✨

Feeling deeply blessed 🙏🏼🌷🌿
Nearby nature offering slow moments in the chaos of the city. Thanking my body for her strength, resilience and sensual sensitivity. Feeling ready for what's next and enjoying time to breathe into the now as well.

Spring is springing 🌱🌷🍃
Not always easy to unfurl and emerge from the winter months. It's like the ache of undoing something that's been tightly held, it hurts a bit. A polarity in longing for warmth and new life and more light AND the tentative, slightly fearful feeling of leaving the cosy nest of winter behind.

For me, this time also brings grief cycles in the lead up to a meaningful death anniversary. There's a building anticipation of the shocking pain that ripped through my family with the tendrils of that trauma still holding us together and apart at the same time.

I'm reminded by beautiful beings like Rach B and Emma to go gently in this seasonal transition phase 🥰❤️🤗

If you're not feeling as ok as you'd hoped as Spring is emerging, just know that it's ok to not be ok. Sending warmth and love to the tender shoots of your being and remember the ground has you no matter what 💚

Had a cold swim hiatus whilst recovering from a lingering cold, but today 5.6°C with wetsuit, gloves and socks I got back in 💪💪💪

✨Christmas miracle✨ after two days of sickness bug with parents out of action, we thought today was going to a write off... but we pulled it out the bag. Dad and I made a super yummy Christmas dinner under mum's watchful eye and everyone managed to eat!! Super grateful to be together, to be warm and well fed 🙏🏼
Wishing everyone a gentle and nourishing time ✨❤️✨

Just hanging around with these beauties 💪 bouldering newbie and my second time...noticed more nervousness today but helped along by encouraging words from

Such a nice atmosphere at experienced people sharing tips but not before asking consent 🙏🏼

Yass the cold water is back 🙏🏼🥶 a tingly 14.8°C so it's time to get the thermal gloves and swim socks on. Sticking with swimming costume for now to get the glorious whole body zing ✨❄️ the after glow is yummy but it can fool you into thinking you're not cold, so super important to dry off and get wrapped up asap...Mumma Sparks' leg and wrist warmers come into their own now 🥰
