My training in beauty therapy afforded me with the skills to offer safe and effective methods of improving and maintaining facial skin condition which was grounded in an understanding anatomy and physiology of the face. The facial skin care techniques are something that I have used and expanded on to offer a therapeutic facial massage ritual which incorporates elements of Joseph Corvo’s Zone therapy as well as natural products. The theory on pressure point massage is what I p

Each post is designed to evoke your thinking and thoughts! A topic is presented to you, the reasons why, some evidence is shared, and how we apply whatever it is to our own world. This is a shared space to test what we know, what we think we know, what we don’t know and what we are coming to know. Let’s get stuck in, be inquisitive, chat, and share my friends! Enjoy! The Topic: Where are our emotions? Are they in our minds? Are they rooted in to our psyche or nestled in the p

When I refer to the seasons, rather than getting caught up with the names of the seasons or the months that align with it, I do this to...

The Topic: Decluttering. Those of you that know me, understand that decluttering is a continuous practice for me. I was raised by 'waste-not-want-not'ers' “this is the true nature of home…the place of peace; the shelter, not only from injury, but from all terror, doubt and division” John Ruskin (1819-1900) The Intention: Accumulation of things is said to create chaos and difficulties for a person, both physical and mental. Aparigraha is a yogic term used to encompass the art

So where else would I wish to be other than sat in our spare bedroom/office/yoga cave… ...I am writing to you from this very spot. Feeling happy that I am alive and healthy! I hope wherever you are, you feel good and are happy too! I know birthdays are often about giving gifts...and it can be lovely to give and also to receive. I have been very lucky today to have had some beautiful messages, cards and gifts which have very much warmed my heart. I would like to gift somethi

Does how we think make us clever? This is a question that I have often heard being discussed, and I suppose it all depends on what you think clever is? Does it depend on qualifications, sporting achievements, survival of trauma, ability to live in the wilderness for years with nothing other than a spoon and a photo of your loved one? Work is often a biggy on how we judge whether a person is clever or not. For example, you may know or be a person who is a sole trader who spe

The Topic: B – is for breathing. We know early Buddhists claimed that working with the breath invoked a sense of calm and insight. Whatever the faith, they mostly agree that conscious breathing practices contribute to a more embodied experience (embodied meaning that the mind influences the body, as does the body influences the mind (1)). The Intention: We understand through the study of yoga and also psychology that calming the breath, calms the mind. This is science. There

If like me, you love avocados, let’s talk about these delicious fruits! Yes, that is right, they are a fruit. One which is loaded with nutrient-rich loveliness. Not only are they laden with essential fats (including monounsaturated fat - MUFA) they are high in fibre and have many essential micronutrients and bioactive phytochemicals (3). They are incredibly versatile and delicious! But, avocado is not just an avocado, there is indeed more than 400 varieties (2)! Unbelievabl
