Happy Christmas. This year we've donated to MSF as our Christmas card cop-out lol. Seriously, they've been doing sterling work around the world, including Gaza. Here's a festive pic of Ozzy instead. Merry Christmas lovely people ###

Are you ready to relax?

Taking care of ourselves is especially important in times of high stress. I don't know about you but I have found the relentlessness of recent events very worrying but there are things we all can do to help ourselves. As well as setting aside time to de-stress, perhaps with a massage or holistic facial it is important to nurture ourselves with the small things. Eating a varied diet, getting out in nature and my favourite - curling up with a good book. What do you do to nurture yourself?

Health is an inside job. I'm a holistic therapist which means if you come to me for a massage or other treatment and you have a particular health issue we'll look you whole-istically and at ways you can tweak your lifestyle to help you manage.

This is my minestrone soup. All veggies from my allotment (No I won't expect you to grow your own unless you want to), wholemeal pasta and marigold organic bullion powder. Some is going in the freezer for later in the year when I need a fresh veggie fix. Great for vitamins and gut health. I'm going to be experimenting with fermentation next!!

Dear friends and clients. I hope you are keeping cool in this heat. We're getting to the time of day when temperatures will be at their hottest.

Please make sure that you are drinking enough and stay out of the sun if at all possible.

I've been fiddling about on my computer and doing techy things whilst hiding from the worst of the weather. I may even get around to that elusive website .... eventually. Anyway stay safe, cool and hydrated and here are some sweet peas from the garden

Here's an up to date researched common sense article about cats and essential oils. I have a cat. I also have been using and diffusing essential oils for as long as he's lived with us. I hope you find this useful. (With thanks to Sal who's done the research so we don't have to)

Several years ago, I wrote a blog to dispel the concern that it is not safe to diffuse essential oils around cats. I did -and still- err on the cautious side by recommending that it is not a good idea to apply essential oils topically, to never allow your cat to ingest essential oils, and when diffu...

My personal journey with stress has gone from it running (and ruining) my life, think burnout to me learning about it in depth, gaining a diploma in stress management and mastering managing it in my life.

The first thing I tell clients is not to fear stress. You can make it your friend and be the master of it, but first you have to recognise it.

So how does stress show up in your life? Feel free to comment below 👇

Stress is the body's reaction to any change that requires an adjustment or response. The body reacts to these changes with physical, mental, and emotional responses. Stress is a normal part of life. ... Even positive life changes such as a promotion, a mortgage, or the birth of a child produce stress.
Stress in itself is neutral, but prolonged stress that isn’t managed well can become a problem for your body and its ability to function well and help you stay healthy
We feel stress in different ways. This month I'm going to talk about my toolbox of stress management - follow me, like and share to join me for the journey.
