Revive, recharge, rejuvenate… This is what I am hoping spring delivers. We are entering my favourite quarter of the year and I have high hopes for it. After the wettest February on record (and although it hasn’t been announced I’m pretty sure, March too!) I need some warmth. I want to get outside in nature rather than sheltering from the rain CONSTANTLY. Today my car burst a tyre on a busy motorway and whilst I was sitting in the rain waiting for the AA to arrive I thought to myself “I am THOROUGHLY fed up with this grey, oppressive weather.’ I think we are all ready to start emerging from our ..read more

This month, I feel an overwhelming sense of optimism and positivity and I can’t help but attribute it to the delightful mild weather we’ve been experiencing or perhaps even the recent celestial event that has subtly reshaped our surroundings.

My Buy, DIY and Try wellness picks for April contain a mix of seasonal celebrations, nutrition inspiration (for both me and my pup!) and some new beauty finds that w ..read more

Reflexology is an ancient art of healing that involves stimulation to reflex points found on the feet and hands. Specialist techniques stimulate the nerve and circulatory pathways within the body to activate the body’s own innate healing processes. These reflex points correspond to different organs and systems of the body and aim to restore equilibrium in the body, mind and spirit. Reflexology can support many conditions and some of the most common that I see in my practice are IBS/digestive issues, headaches/migraines and Insomnia. Can it help IBS/Digestive issues? You’ve probably experienced ..read more

Is there anything better than a good night’s sleep?

These are some of my favourite ways to spend my evening, a time which is truly all about me, before getting a good night’s sleep.    Oskia Moon Salts  The best evening routine always includes a bath, shut the doo ..read more

However, emerging research is underscoring the vital role of sleep in regulating inflammation, a key factor in maintaining overall health. Here’s the deal: Apparently a bunch of us out there aren’t getting the quality sleep we need, with nearly half of Brits admitting to lou ..read more
