It's occurred to me that I've had PLENTY of bookings for my 90 minute Luxury Pamper VIP Session.

It was the most popular treatment in January!

I was at a meeting the other day when I shared an exercise to the room.

It was to lift their mood and improve their energy.

As we practiced this exercise together, the room lit up with peoples smiles and chatter.

Watch the video below and give it a go!

This is true.

If you think you're meditating wrong, you are actually doing it right.

I hear this all the time.

"I can't meditate""I can't focus""I start thinking about my shopping list""My mind wanders""It's not working""I'll never be able to relax enough".

Do you recognise any of those thoughts?

We all experience stress from time to time. Some more than others.

It's good to know you have a wonderful peaceful sanctuary to retreat to in the South Downs.

 I'll confess, I've been feeling the stress over the last month or so.Whilst summer has been relaxing, there are lots of changes going on which can take time to adjust to.

So I'm updating my self care routine that keeps me in check.

I wonder how you ease your stresses?

Here are some reminder tips of how to keep a sense of balance and calm in your life.

Tinnitus is the name for hearing noises that are not caused by sounds coming from the outside world. It's common and not usually a sign of anything serious. It might get better by itself and there are treatments that can help. There are several types and causes of tinnitus. According to the British Tinnitus Association, the exact reason why it occurs is not known. It seems it is generally agreed that Tinnitus can arise due to some kind of change in life. This can be physical, mental or emotional and does not have to relate to your hearing or ears.

Trauma can come about in many ways.  It can be the result of being involved in an accident, having gone through a major medical procedure, a sudden, dramatic change in your personal or working life. It can also come upon you unexpectedly.  Perhaps current circumstances in your life have triggered past painful memories bringing the feeling of trauma to the surface.

Some breeze through it and others can feel like their world is falling apart.  That’s not surprising when you read the list below of physical and emotional symptoms that menopause can bring.

I am treating more and more clients for stress and anxiety in my Reflexology clinic.

Many have been signed off work to try and recover.  Some are on medication and others are not.  Some have emotionally “cut them selves off”. They cannot say how they feel.  The best way some of my clients can describe how they feel is “vacant”, “empty” or “numb”.

We all experience Stress at some point in our lives, some more than others. So what is Stress and how can Reflexology help those who live with it’s symptoms?

It’s a fact; we all need a good nights sleep and you will regularly hear me say “Sleep is the best remedy”.

Sleep patterns can be disrupted for many reasons including stress, depression, side effects of medication, pain or indigestion.

Lack of sleep can lead to weight gain, poor concentration, greater risk of heart disease and stroke, hormone imbalances, mood swings  and depression.
