When I started out, I never dreamt of being able to help people who live in other parts of the country.
Remote post-operative follow-up is just as effective and rewarding as in-person support.
Check out this testimonial from Claire, near Manchester:

"I am so grateful to Portia (Post Op Nurse) for all the support and encouragement she has provided to me during my recent knee replacement surgery.
As I live almost 200 miles away, this support has been provided remotely via phone calls and WhatsApp messages.
The support started before my pre-op, Portia was able to guide me over what to expect and to help me identify the questions I needed answers to.
I was sent messages of support before and directly after my operation which I found to be extremely helpful. As I only had an overnight stay in hospital it was so useful to be able to reach out to Portia with the many questions that only became relevant once the operation had taken place.
She has been able to reassure me when I have had moments of doubt and uncertainty in my recovery as well as advice on pain relief and how I take care of the scar moving forward.
Portia has been on hand throughout my knee replacement journey and I have found the support and her genuine empathy to be invaluable.
Thank you"

What a fantastic place! I recently visited The Mary How Trust for Cancer Prevention in Storrington.
This incredible charity is here to help anyone (no referral needed) who wants a health screen for cancer.
All the staff are so kind and welcoming. It doesn’t feel remotely like an hospital. With a suggested donation as payment (£350), I feel so lucky to have this facility in my neighbourhood.

A big thank you to Michael Jones Estate Agent, Ferring, for your support and interest in my business and my upcoming talk at Ferring Village Hall. It’s clear you’re committed to helping the local community in more ways than just bricks and mortar 😊

Check out this simple and ridiculously nutritious seed jar recipe from Rachel Boon, Naturopath and Herbalist in Worthing.

FIVE SEED SPRINKLE

Grab an old jam jar and fill it with a variety of mixed seeds and shake.

Choose from
-linseed (flaxseed as is known in the US)
-h**p
-sunflower
-sesame
-chia (white or black, doesnt matter)
-pumpkin

Et voila! An easy way to upnourish your overnight oats, yoghurt, granola, porridge or salad. I even sprinkle mine over pasta pesto or Asian noodle dishes for an ASMR-style crunchy topping 🤣

Why? It's a super simple way to add 5 extra plant foods to your (hopefully) already plant- rich plate of food.

Seeds bring SO much to the table in terms of protein, zinc, omega 3 fats, calcium and B vitamins alongside oodles of gut-friendly fibre.

Plus they're cheap, tasty and satisfying.

Nutrition doesn't have to be complicated guys. This is a hack you can implement at your next trip to in Worthing or in under five minutes and spending under £10 and it'll last you aaaaages.

Happy noisy crunching!
