MA Holistic Therapies

01/01/2026

Therapists will ask your level of exercise during a consultation - we’re not being nosy, it is building up a picture of how we can best help you. But, we understand that you may ‘over-estimate’! Haha!

Well, here’s some motivation!

Make ‘more movement’ one of your resolutions for 2026.

Moving more is:

🌷 good for your bones
🌷 good for your heart
🌷 good for your lungs
🌷 good for your muscles
🌷 good for your balance
🌷 good for your mental health (more brownie points if your movement is walking in nature)
🌷 good for your overall wellbeing

Walking in nature is probably one of the most beneficial ways of moving your body - it’s very grounding, gives you a dose of Vit D, releases endorphins (feel-good hormones) and also does all of the above.

And, its legal and free! Why don’t we do more of it? After all, ‘movement is medicine’.

If you’re tied to a desk during daylight hours, either get a break during lunch, outside if possible or, last resort, do some indoors exercise.

I recommend Pahla B on YouTube, 20+ mins of moderate exercise suitable for menopausal women. You must be able to gift your body 20mins daily, surely.

Make the place your soul lives a priority in 2026

We are ‘wintering’! Slowing down, turning inward, reflecting and planning.

If your new year resolution is something like ‘looking after myself more’ what does that look like to you?

Better self-care, physically, mentally and spiritual?

Physically:
🌷 may mean cooking from scratch more, less take aways and cleaning up your diet
🌷 may mean moving your body more - doesn’t need to be formal exercise in a gym though
🌷 may mean taking time to moisturise after bathing
🌷 may mean less gel polish and letting nails recover
🌷 may mean less ‘faux’ (nails, lashes, tan) and more ‘real’

Mentally:
🌷 being more kind to yourself
🌷 being ok with feeling ‘uncomfortable’
🌷 listening to your inner child (voice)
🌷 saying ‘no thanks’ more
🌷 letting go of draining people
🌷 doing more of what makes your heart sing

Spiritually:

🌷 find a group where you feel connected
🌷 deepen existing friendships, let go of superficial ones
🌷 go out in nature - we are but one small part of

And, (you knew it was coming!)
Reward your amazing body with at least one holistic treatment a month

A picture is worth a thousand words…….

Can you see yourself in the image? Do you

🌷 spend a lot of time on your tech
🌷 spend a lot of time desk based in front of a computer
🌷 spend a lot of reading

For every inch your ears are in front of your shoulders your head weights another 10lb. (Normally c10lb).

This posture equals

🌷neck strain - which could lead to headaches
🌷 thoracic slump - which could lead to acid reflux, digestive problems, pain between shoulder blades
🌷 flattened lumber curve - which could lead to lower back pain

Recharge your crystals tonight

Get them on the windowsill bathing in the Cold Supermoon moonlight - the last Supermoon of 2025.

Don’t be surprised if your sleeping is off kilter for a couple of nights, or you just feel meh! It maybe the busyness of the time of year but also it maybe be the luna effect!

The moon controls the tides and as our bodies are c75% water it can also affect us too.

It’s a time to be kind to yourself and your loved ones and let go of unachieveable expectations (for a couple of days!)
