I posted this last year, but it’s worth another share. Keep cosy and well everyone.

We're in the darkest part of winter now and not too far from the longest day. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is considered important to adjust our lifestyles and diet to suit the season. Winter corresponds to the water element and to the Kidneys. In winter, need to help protect and support our....

I am really sad to announce that I won’t be returning to my Edinburgh practice at Albany Street. I have been struggling with this decision for a while, but I think it is the right one. With the enhanced hygiene measures, increased PPE overheads and reduced numbers of people I can see in clinic, driving to Edinburgh once a week no longer makes sense financially and more importantly, for the toll it takes on my health and energy. I kept working in Edinburgh for so long after moving to Aberfeldy because I loved working there and the people I worked with - patients and colleagues. I will miss it hugely. I won’t however miss being so tired when I got home on a Monday night that I could barely speak - a tiredness that lasted well into the following day. So I’m making this decision to put my money where my mouth is and follow the advice that I have given to so many of my patients about prioritising your own health and finding the right balance between life and work.
I have been able to take this decision because my Aberfeldy practice has continued to grow and be so busy. Giving up Edinburgh means it now has my full attention and allows me the time to invest further in enhancing my skills and knowledge needed for this lovely practice in Highland Perthshire.
Thank-you to all my lovely Edinburgh patients and colleagues who have made working at Albany Street such a pleasure. 😘

A great article here with practical tips from my colleague and fellow Advanced Fertility Support Diploma Alumni, Alexandra O'Connor about that excruciating 2 week wait after IVF embryo transfer.

If you are reading this, you may be in the throes of the dreaded Two Week Wait (TWW). This is one of the most exciting, nerve-wracking, scary stretches of the fertility road. All the work is done. The rocket has launched and it feels there is nothing you can do to influence the outcome. But there is...
