Hi, I’m Ali — and a very warm welcome to Little Shop of Happiness.
Rediscovering joy in life’s little things, together.
Let me take you back for a moment — to my childhood. It wasn’t always filled with joy and happiness. Like many of us, I grew up amidst challenges and uncertainty, and there were times when life felt heavy and unpredictable. But looking back, those moments were where my journey of self-discovery quietly began.
As I grew older, I found myself searching for something deeper — a sense of peace and connection that seemed just out of reach. That search led me to explore positive psychology and mindfulness, not just as concepts, but as lifelines. They became my way of understanding what it truly means to live with awareness, gratitude, and presence.
Through this journey, I became certified as an NLP Practitioner, coach, and hypnotherapist. But these aren’t just titles to me — they’re tools that helped me transform my own relationship with happiness and, in turn, guide others to rediscover theirs.
That’s how Little Shop of Happiness was born — from a heartfelt mission to create a welcoming space for those who feel disconnected, helping them reconnect with themselves and rediscover joy in life’s little things.
A Little More About Me
I’m happily married and a proud mum of two wonderful daughters who are now stepping into young adulthood with confidence and grace. Our family also includes two furry bundles of energy, Bailey and Rosie, who fill our home with laughter, cuddles, and just the right amount of chaos.
Nature has always been my sanctuary. Whether it’s a quiet walk with the sound of birds, the rhythm of the waves during a sea swim, or simply watching the sun rise and set — those moments remind me that peace and joy often live in the simplest places.
I find happiness in life’s little rituals: a warm cup of tea, shared laughter, or a quiet moment of stillness. These small acts have become anchors — daily reminders that joy doesn’t have to be grand to be meaningful.
The Heart Behind Little Shop of Happiness
At Little Shop of Happiness, my purpose is to support and empower others to reconnect with themselves — especially those who feel overwhelmed, lost, or disconnected — and help them rediscover the joy that’s always been within reach.
I believe happiness isn’t about perfection or constant positivity; it’s about presence. It’s about noticing the moments that make your heart exhale — a kind word, a deep breath, a moment of calm amid chaos.
Through mindfulness, positivity, and simple daily practices, we can gently shift from overwhelm to appreciation, from autopilot to awareness, and from “just getting through” to truly living.
Together, we’ll explore ways to bring more meaning, balance, and lightness into your everyday — because joy isn’t something to chase, it’s something to nurture.
A Closing Thought
If you take one thing away from my story, I hope it’s this:
Happiness begins with you — in the small, beautiful, ordinary moments that make up your days.
Here, in this little corner of the world, you’ll always find a warm welcome, a gentle reminder to pause, and a space to reconnect with what truly matters.
✨ At Little Shop of Happiness, we believe: little moments create big joy.
With warmth,
Ali 💛
