It’s been a busy year for the hideaway team!

Many things happening at once and a lot of juggling - so much so that we’ve missed some great moments to share - so let’s re-celebrate this special weekend early this year:

and .nutrition.emily.rose celebrated birthdays which involved visiting the awesome (if you haven’t been to visit - please do - amazing plunge pool addition too)

The evening before we went to see the incredible on his mindset tour on a Hideaway outing - promoting the must have book “make the changes that last” right now is a really busy time for the team and even more necessary for us to reflect on the important skills of mindset as we journey through the last few stages of our BTEC diploma…

Some top tips from the Mindset tour:

*recognise that you can change and develop new habits

*instead of focusing on a problem - understand it, and move forward

*Make space for rest and relax and schedule this in, even just 5 minutes in a busy day

*prioritise self Care!

What’s your favourite self care?

If you haven’t checked out the feel better live longer podcasts - give them a go!

The Dietes flower bloomed in the courtyard this week at did anyone see it? Here’s the moment captured!

We hope you’re enjoying these long summer days

A poem - Midsummers Day Meadow

Midsummer’s day meadow
is a place that I know
And when the sun has awoken
to its pleasure I’ll go
For here are tall grasses
and wild summer flowers
And I’ll wander here aimlessly
for hours upon hours

There’s a solitude here
born of peace with a smile
Contentment to find
Once you’ve been here a while
And there’s nothing much better
than a walk in a field
which is full of wild flowers
in the fine Sussex weald

A poem by the late poet Jeremy Croucher .nutrition.emily.rose ‘s Father
Who loved the summer

Fuelling before some admin work

✨carrot and chickpea cumin soup topped with roasted caraway beetroot, toasted walnuts and homegrown rocket and mange-tout

✨Packed with nutrients drizzled with antioxidant rich olive oil, gut healthy stuff

🎉What was your fuel today?

❤️Super proud of my clients who have come leaps and bounds with their nutrition - making small changes that last, and feeling the benefits!

What did I do? Now I know it’s not soup weather (or is it?!) but I had a load of carrots!

✨Heated some olive oil gently with some onions and cumin seeds
✨Added lots of randomly chopped carrots, a few bay leaves and some ground cumin too with a little bit of chilli, salt and apple cider vinegar
✨Left to stew and watered the plants
✨Poured the chickpea water in to serve as a binder(aka Aquafaba)
✨blended before pouring the chickpeas in so they were whole with the smooth carrot

✨Whilst the carrots were bubbling gentle - chopped beetroot up and chucked in the oven with caraway seeds and lovely olive oil
✨Chopped up the mangetout and picked and washed the rocket from the windowsill (a great food to grow easy at home)
✨Toasted some walnuts drizzled some olive oil and enjoyed before cracking on with some admin!

Made sure to get some sunshine on me for 20 mins this morning and I’ll go for a walk to work shortly too.

It’s berry picking time!

In my free time I love to get down to the allotment I share with my family, there’s always lots to do. It teaches me lots.

I picked my first batch of raspberries and it fills me with joy, though strawberries excitingly have been ready for weeks, I’ve had a few batches already. I’m eagerly waiting for some blueberries and red current! Though, I forgot to wrap the gooseberries and the creatures have nibbled most of them but there’s a few to be picked next time!

Growing, and waiting patiently, or trying to be patient. Getting my fingers in the earth for that rich microbiome gut balance. Finding ways to protect each variety and how they match each other. Nurturing, trial and error, surprises and peace.

Also much needed outside time to get that natural light I need!

I always come away feeling revived no matter what I do. It also helps me to feel close to my dear dad, it’s only been a year without him on this earth, and it feels like yesterday I was laughing with him. Unaware our time together had come far too soon. He planted the lavender I picked, and I think of his touch on each stem. His favourite scent, it’s just starting to smell of that comforting linolool and I think of him.

S A U N A health at
Study’s so far show lots of interesting health benefits of saunas - they increase your heart rate so that you may get the same benefits of moderate exercise, supporting cardio and lung health over time.

Some research also suggests that heat can support and relieve pain. Which is why heat is a fantastic tool to use in combination with other techniques of advanced clinical massage.

15-20 minutes is a good recommended amount of time, followed by a cold shower - but do what feels good for you too

If your new to saunas it’s good to start slow with 5-10 minutes

Be sure to drink plenty of water and replenish your electrolytes too!

Do you want to be a part of my research project?

An opportunity to support your IBS and stress with advanced massage for a low cost!

In 2022, I embarked on an advanced degree qualification to further my interest and career in supporting pain and stress: along side my career as a Nutritionist specialising in Gut Health.

The BTEC Level 6 in Advanced Clinical and Sports Massage offered by - Jing Advanced Massage. This course is currently the highest level of education a manual therapist can achieve in the UK. The study is overseen by experts in the field of Musculoskeletal Pain, Education, Sports Science and Psychology.

As part of our BTEC, we are given an opportunity to design and carry out a study into the effects of clinical massage wellness programmes. This will go towards a growing body of work supporting the effectiveness of massage, sometimes these studies go on to be published.

I have chosen to investigate the effects of the stress and pain advanced massage protocol on irritable bowel syndrome symptoms.

I am looking for adults; any gender/non binary/trans welcome, who are over 18 years old and experience the following:

Irritable Bowel Syndrome diagnosis or long term self diagnosis, along side

✨Stress
✨Anxiety
✨Low mood/depression

Excluding:
New medication: taken for less than 12 weeks
Any ongoing medical issue that is being investigated/medication which may affect well-being
Any other major health conditions
Other chronic digestive diagnosis/symptoms eg. Crohns, Celiac Disease

The study will take place from End of July to beginning of October, the first 6 weeks will all be via email using forms to assess your stress, then there will be 6 weeks of advanced Massage along side these same forms.

The payment is set at £210 for the whole project to be paid at once confirming you’d like to be a part of it, that makes it just £35 per massage

Please share with someone you think would be interested!
