Make the most out of your Weekend (without burning yourself out or just speed through!)

Weekends can slip by in a blur of errands, scrolling, overbooking ourselves or getting ready for the work week ahead and suddenly it’s MONDAY again.

Here are a few gentle tips to help you soak up your weekend and feel genuinely refreshed:

✨ Start slow – no alarms if you can help it. Let your body wake up naturally.
✨ Move your body – a walk, a stretch, a class — something to shake off the week.
✨ Do one thing just for you – not for work, not for anyone else. Just because it lights you up.
✨ Don’t over-schedule – leave space to breathe and just be.
✨ Connect – a cuppa with a friend, a phone call with someone you love.
✨ Switch off – even for a little while. Your nervous system will thank you.

Weekends are for resetting, not racing.
Here’s your permission to slow down and do what feels good for your soul.

Winter can be hard on the Heart & Mind

Months of shorter days, colder nights, and a slower pace can take a toll — not just on our bodies, but on our mental and emotional wellbeing too.

This is your gentle reminder:
It’s okay to feel a little off
It’s okay to need more rest
It’s okay to seek out comfort, quiet, and care

Looking after your mental health in winter isn’t indulgent — it’s essential.
Think:
✨ Slow morning rituals
✨ Fresh air and movement
✨ Talking to someone you trust
✨ Massage, yoga, journaling, or whatever helps you feel more you

You don’t have to push through. You’re allowed to soften, to tend, to take care.

This season, let wellness be less about doing more — and more about supporting yourself in the ways that matter most.

08/07/2025

As the days get shorter and the air a little crisper, winter invites us to slow down and turn inward. It’s the perfect time to focus on nourishing your wellbeing — body, mind and soul.

Here are some simple ways to support yourself this season:

🌿 Warm Up From Within – Sip herbal teas, eat hearty soups, and enjoy warming spices like ginger, cinnamon and turmeric. Your digestion will thank you!

🧖‍♀️ Soak & Soothe – Indulge in long, steamy baths with magnesium salts or essential oils. Add candles or music to turn it into a ritual.

💤 Rest Deeply – Prioritise quality sleep. Wind down with less screen time and more gentle, quiet moments before bed.

🧘‍♀️ Move Gently – Try slower forms of movement like yoga, stretching, or walking in nature to stay grounded and mobile without burning out.

🌞 Chase the Light – Get outside when the sun's out! Even a few minutes of natural light can boost your mood and energy.

☕ Catch up with a Friend. Get out of the house and meet somewhere new.

💆‍♂️ Book That Massage – Winter is the perfect time to nurture sore muscles and soothe the nervous system. Your body will love you for it.

Don’t wait for the sun to return to feel your best — give yourself the care you deserve, right now.

What’s one thing you do to look after your wellbeing in winter?

Why add Bath Salts to your next soak? 🛁

Bath salts aren’t just pretty smelling crystals for your bath—they’re little wellness powerhouses disguised as self-care.

Soaking in mineral-rich salts like magnesium (Magnesium salts, Dead Sea Salts) helps relax tired muscles, ease tension, and support better sleep.
They're especially soothing after exercise, a long workday, or just when life feels a bit... well....MUCH.

But it’s not just your muscles that benefit.
Bath salts can help:
🌿 Detoxify the skin
💧 Boost circulation
🧖‍♀️ Soothe irritated or dry skin
🫧 Encourage your nervous system to wind down

And let’s not forget the ritual itself: warm water, calming scents, perhaps a candle or two (a glass of medicinal wine??) and a pause from the noise of life.
Bliss!
A salty soak becomes a sway to come home to yourself.

So next time you run a bath, throw in a generous handful of bath salts.
Your body (and mind) will thank you.

✨ Move to Feel Good — Not Just to "Work Out"

Movement isn’t just about burning calories or chasing goals — it’s about coming home to your body.
It’s about stretching, strengthening, breathing, and reconnecting with you.

Whether it’s:

🧘‍♀️ Slow, intentional yoga
💪 Core-loving Pilates
🩰 Barre to feel strong + graceful
🤸‍♀️ Reformer for deep, mindful movement

…it’s all about choosing what feels nourishing to you and your body.

Move to release tension.
Move to lift your mood.
Move to remind yourself that your body is on your side - this is a team effort.

This is your permission to move gently, joyfully and in ways that support your wellness — not your stress.

Slow Down. Breathe Deeply. Come Back to You. 🌿

Life pulls us in so many directions — deadlines, to-do lists, constant noise.
But your body is quietly asking for something different…

✨ Stillness
✨ Space
✨ A moment to let go

A chance to come home to yourself, to soften, to simply be.

This is your reminder:
You don’t always have to push through.
You’re allowed to rest.
You’re allowed to receive.

Part of my Winter Wellness routine.

Good food. Good people. Sunshine. Movement. Chinese Herbs. Gratitude.

16/05/2025

It's been a week.

Earlier this week my body decided to throw a full system inflammation party, and everyone was invited!

Think crazy day and night sweats and LOTS of jacket (or blanket) on and off - plus a delightful heat rash that settled into different nooks and crannies.

Thank goodness for Nick at .
I reached out and he put together herbs for me straight away.
In less the 24 hours, the worst symptoms subsided and I'm feeling well on the mend a few days later.

I can't recommend Nick and his work at Wuji Medicine enough.
His acupucture treatments continue to keep me in best health but his skill with herbs is what is really helping me day to day.

If you have any questions or would like to make an appointment for your own health - reach out.
