Earlier this year I attended this fantastic 5 week course with the Wellbeing Rooms.

They’re running it again starting in November. If you’re looking to gain a better insight into the changes happening to your body during perimenopause and menopause and discover ways to help you reduce symptoms and navigate your way to a happier and healthier Menopause you should make the time to go☺ Thus is the information and peer support you’re not going to get from the NHS

Details and booking link below. 👇

🥵 Are you suffering with menopause symptoms?

🤯 Do you feel like you are struggling alone and don't know what information to trust?

😲 Do you think you may be in perimenopause and are scared by all the negative information about the horrors of menopause?

😫 Do you feel like a happy menopause is a million miles from where you are now?

❤️ We can help you ❤️

For so many women, perimenopause and menopause can be a difficult time. Many women experience a range of symptoms along with hot flushes and can feel there is little understanding or support.

For some women conventional treatments like HRT can really help, but for others these are not enough or are not suitable. But there are a lot of other simple lifestyle changes and complementary therapies that have been proven to help, including nutrition, relaxation, reflexology and acupuncture.

⭐️ The Wellbeing Rooms are re-running our successful 'Navigating the Menopause' programme to empower you with knowledge and skills to help reduce your menopause symptoms.

⭐️This is an innovative 5 week course, running on Fridays at 10.30am-12.30pm between 15th Nov and 13th Dec in of Victoria park, Stretford M32

It costs between £5-30 for the whole course depending on your household income.

You will learn about your hormones, understand your symptoms and receive information and handouts on simple changes you can make to your diet and lifestyle to help feel like you again. You can have taster sessions in therapies that reduce menopause symptoms and join a group of supportive women to stop you feeling alone.

Every 90 seconds someone is diagnosed with Cancer. This Sunday I’m heading to Cumbria to complete the Macmillan Cancer Support Lake District Mighty Hike. I’ve been busy over the past 6 months growing plants and selling them to raise money to support their brilliant work. Thank you to everyone who has popped by and bought done and donated. If you’ve not managed to buy a plant it’s not to late to support my fundraising efforts and contribute to the amazing work MacMillan do to support everyone affected by cancer. Thank you ###

Learning from lifes lessons

The Restorative Room is the result of my own families journey through cancer, and my desire to always take a positive from every negative and to listen and learn from every lesson life gives me. I’m proud to have created a beautiful, relaxing and safe spa environment where clients can leave cancer at the door and just ‘be’. A place to switch off, relax, revive and restore the body & mind - enjoying treatments that feel luxurious and pampering whilst at the same time benefiting from products that have been specifically designed to deliver a range of benefits to help counter common treatment side effects of cancer treatment.

Having a cancer diagnosis in the family is a frightening and bewildering time for all involved. I can still remember the feeling of helplessness I felt when my mum was diagnosed. The huge desire to help and take away the stress and pain, but struggling to find the right gestures, words and acts to feel I was making a difference. I remember the cards and flowers, bought from well meaning friends and relatives all keen to show they cared and were there for her. Lovely to look at but of little practical help. Finding a beautiful but practical gift for someone with cancer can a real challenge. Standard get-well gifts don’t always fit with the side effects of cancer treatment. Chocolates for someone who has lost their appetite or is suffering nausea feels cruel, finding the right toiletries and skin care products for someone with increased sensitivity and sore dry skin can be a mine field and there really are only so many bunches of flowers a person needs.

I still remember clearly the gap between diagnosis and having a clear treatment plan, a scary and bewildering time, when imagination goes into overdrive and you fill in your own blanks with every possible worst case scenario. Once the Consultants had formulated their plan and we knew pattern the coming weeks and months needed to take it was time to put our trust in the NHS and have faith that they would do everything they could to ensure a positive outcome. Thankfully for our family we have navigated our way through the worst of it, ongoing treatment remains a part of life as it turns out Bladder Cancer doesn’t give up but the outcome remains positive. I realise how lucky we are and know things don’t work out this way for every family.

I’m a firm believer that its important to find the positive in every negative and that life has a way of providing us with challenges to help us grow, become stronger and find new paths. I felt that it was important to take the lessons supporting someone through cancer had taught me and find an opportunity to use them. That opportunity presented itself last year when I was made redundant. It felt like life was telling me it was the right time to find a new purpose and direction. My mum had always proactively managed her health and well being and had regular massages to help her manage back pain. She was therefore really disappointed to find that following her diagnosis that her regular therapist was unable to treat her as her insurance didn’t cover treating a client with cancer. I qualified as a Sports and Remedial Massage therapist 12 years ago and knew that cancer was stated as one of the primary contraindications for treatment. Without the right post graduate training I would potentially be in the same situation of turning away a client at a point in their lives when they probably needed it most. It felt like this was the lesson I needed to learn from what life had thrown at us and it was time to add to my skills and experience so that I could support others through their treatments and beyond.
