Finding ways to keep my thirst for travel quenched whilst building a chiropractic practice and studying…without getting too overwhelmed.

Earlier in the year I got a bit too giddy with trying to fulfill this passion…booking far too many things in, far too close together.

And whilst I know travel is a privilege, I think my brain wrote cheques my body struggled cashing, and I ended up in a mini burn out.

But travel fills my cup. It brings me joy. And I am a big believer that we need to do things that light us up and bring us joy in order to help our nervous systems heal…but only when done in a way that doesn’t stress our nervous system more.

In my clinic, I unfortunately see patients everyday that do not do enough of the things that bring them joy (and perhaps don’t even know that that looks like anymore), and I see the impact of that on their nervous system, and their bodies (alongside other things).

I try to encourage it as best as I can, as part of their healing journey.

So I had a little break, and now I’m hoping to find the right balance again, making it more sustainable alongside work and study.

I think I’ve been fairly successful this past weekend, finding I was able to switch my brain off from reality more easily than usual…let’s see if our future travel plans fulfill that goal too.

Whilst 2.5 days isn’t quite long enough for an explorer, we definitely gave Oslo a good go.

Only a snippet of a country, but another one added to our growing list.

And another country on the list of places we’d like to return to, to fully explore… one day.

Here are a few of our Oslo highlights

He nearly missed out on this…..

10 reasons why keen golfers, like my boyfriend Ian, love Chiropractic Care

Golf might look like a low-impact sport, but it’s one of the most demanding on your body. The repeated swing, rotation, and posture required place huge stress on the spine, hips, and shoulders, often leading to stiffness, imbalance, and pain.

Here’s how chiropractic can help golfers stay strong, flexible, and pain-free:

1️⃣ Improves spinal alignment…allowing smoother rotation and a more efficient swing.
2️⃣ Enhances flexibility & mobility…especially through hips, shoulders, and thoracic spine.
3️⃣ Builds better core stability…key for power and protecting the lower back.
4️⃣ Improves balance & coordination…essential for accuracy and control.
5️⃣ Reduces recovery time after play…through improved circulation and tissue repair.
6️⃣ Decreases inflammation & tension…helping muscles stay relaxed and responsive.
7️⃣ Boosts nervous system regulation…promoting focus and calmer performance.
8️⃣ Prevents overuse injuries…by ensuring joints move as they should.
9️⃣ Improves posture…vital for consistency and swing mechanics.
🔟 Supports overall body awareness…helping you feel when something’s off before it becomes painful.

Whether you’re a weekend golfer or a serious player, keeping your body aligned and your nervous system balanced can make all the difference, not just to your game, but to your long-term wellbeing too.

Self care isn’t selfish… it’s essential.

Having a facial every month is not only a treat for your skin, it’s also a treat for your nervous system. Especially when Penny D at DPC Clinic is delivering it.

This lady is not only a force of nature, but one that is extremely grounding and inspiring.

She is the person who 6 years ago foresaw I wouldn’t be with my then fiancé for much longer, way before I knew I was going to end it.

She’s the person who gave me the courage to sell my business 4 years ago, and then to go travelling for 18 months.

And she’s the person who 2 years ago asked me if I’d considered perimenopause when I rocked up to her treatment room a sobbing mess, for no reason.

There’s a reason that people come in to your life…and I believe Penny came into mine to help me find the strength to fight for myself.

And I will be forever grateful for her.

And if you’re wondering what it is I’m having done here…read 👇 to find out.

1️⃣ The first step involves energising and prepping the skin using low-level stimulation to wake up the facial muscles and boost skin vitality. It helps activate the skin’s natural repair systems so it’s primed for collagen renewal and ready to respond deeply to your next treatment.

2️⃣ Gentle microneedling triggers the skin’s natural renewal process without causing trauma. It encourages fresh collagen, improves texture, and enhances the absorption of active ingredients, leaving your skin smoother, stronger, and visibly refreshed.

3️⃣ Red light LED calms and energises the skin at a cellular level, helping to reduce inflammation, speed up healing, and stimulate collagen. It’s the final glow-up step that locks in results and leaves your skin visibly brighter and stronger.

My thoughts as Mind Body Chiropractor who has struggled with confidence and poor posture since her teens.

Yesterday I did a post about confidence, posture and pain, how they are connected, and how you can shift your confidence and your experience of pain by changing your posture.

However, it’s not always that simple…if you are somebody who has spent a long time rounding through your upper back, shoulders and neck, your joints might be stiff and muscles tight around that posture, and your proprioceptors (the sensory nerves that tell your body where it is in space) may have forgotten how to move you into a more neutral posture.

So here are a few of my favourite yoga asanas to mobilise the joints, ease the muscles and open up the heart space.

This video is sped up, I would spend about 30-60 seconds in each posture, focusing on taking nice, deep, long inhalations and exhalations.

Give them a try and let me know what you think.

Confidence, posture and pain…

What is the connection and what can you do?

NB these are my opinions as a qualified Mind Body Chiropractor, and Psychotherapy Student….and from my own personal experience as someone with low confidence, poor posture and chronic pain.

Please do not take this as gospel.

My go to breath exercise when I am feeling stressed, anxious and thoughts are spiralling, with the scientific explanation behind it.

It’s also great for pain management.

Give it a try and let me know how you get on.

I find it most useful if I practice it regularly rather than just waiting until I start to panic to use it.

The reason for this is that it is easier to access and can help you regulate much more quickly, if you practice it regularly.

If you are feeling a little stressed, do this technique until you start to feel your heart slow and your mind and body calm.

If however you are doing this as a daily practice, start off at 1 minute and then build up to 5 minutes.

That’s all it takes.

To begin with, you might find yourself getting a little lightheaded as you are shifting your breathing pattern. If you do, don’t worry. Just take a break by returning to your normal rhythm, and then once you’re back, try again.

And as I say, this breath cycle is the ideal breath cycle we should be breathing day to day anyway when we are at rest. So the more you practice it, the more likely it will become your subconscious breathing pattern.

I don’t care if you don’t like water…that is not an excuse. Take care of you 🫶

Your body is made up of around 60–70% water, and every single system relies on it to function properly. When you’re dehydrated, your body struggles, and over time, this shows up as pain, fatigue, brain fog, poor digestion, dull skin, and even a dysregulated nervous system.

👉 Your musculoskeletal system needs hydration to keep joints lubricated and muscles functioning efficiently.

👉 Your nervous system depends on water for proper communication between brain and body.

👉 Your digestive system uses water to break down food and absorb nutrients.

👉 Your cardiovascular system relies on hydration to maintain blood volume and circulation.

👉 Your immune system is compromised when you’re dehydrated, making it harder to fight off illness.

👉 Your skin is one of the first places dehydration shows up, dryness, fine lines, dullness, breakouts.

👉 Even your mental health suffers, dehydration is linked to low mood, poor concentration, and anxiety.

The best part? Drinking enough water is one of the simplest, cheapest, and most effective ways to improve your health and wellbeing. No supplements, no gimmicks, just water.

✨ A good starting point: carry a reusable bottle with you, sip throughout the day, and flavour it with lemon, cucumber, or herbs if plain water feels boring.

Your body is always communicating with you, don’t ignore thirst cues. This one small habit has a ripple effect across your entire system.

💬 Do you drink enough water daily? Or is this the reminder you needed?

Here’s the truth ⬇️

Chiropractic isn’t a magic wand. I don’t “fix” people. What I do is help create the right conditions within your nervous system and body so that you can begin to heal yourself.

Because healing is an inside job.

Your nervous system is the master controller of your body, it decides whether you’re safe, whether you can rest, digest, repair, and ultimately thrive. When it’s dysregulated, the body’s signals get distorted, stress responses stay switched on, and you end up in cycles of pain, tension, inflammation, and exhaustion.

My role? To guide your system back into balance. To help you reconnect mind and body, to release stored stress and tension, and to support you in building awareness.

But the other part of the work? That’s on you.

It’s the daily choices you make outside the treatment room, your sleep, your movement, your boundaries, your nutrition, your connection with others, your willingness to do the inner work.

When we combine the two, my support and your commitment, that’s where the magic happens ✨

So no, chiropractic won’t “fix” you. But it can help you unlock the power to fix yourself.
