Absolutely buzzing to be invited to the House of Lords this December as part of the Small Business Saturday UK !

A huge moment for Medi8 Therapy and a real honour to be recognised alongside so many amazing small businesses.

This photo was taken at a recent BIPC Northamptonshire Start-Up Day, where I was lucky enough to share my journey and support new entrepreneurs. Looking forward to being there and celebrating everything small business stands for.

What a brilliant night at the Northamptonshire Chamber of Commerce Business Awards!

Medi8 Therapy was proud to be shortlisted for Diversity in the Workplace, and to finish as a runner-up in such an inspiring field is something we’re genuinely honoured by. Northamptonshire Sport were worthy winners, huge congratulations to their team for the incredible work they do.

As a husband-and-wife team, this recognition means even more to us. Creating a space where every couple feels safe, respected and heard isn’t just part of our work, it’s personal. We are hugely supportive of one another and without that, Medi8 wouldn’t exist.

We had a fantastic evening celebrating local businesses, meeting brilliant people and feeling part of such a supportive community.

Thanks go out to Northamptonshire Chamber of Commerce for hosting a wonderful night, to Kairos Consultancy and Training for sponsoring our category, and finally to Trilogy Active for making us feel welcome at thier table.

Proud, grateful and motivated to keep making a difference. 💛

It’s also a brilliant chance to meet others on a similar journey, and that support network makes all the difference when you’re building something new.

At Medi8 Therapy, we know how important it is to get the right guidance early on. This kind of day can really shape your path forward.

It was such a pleasure to meet Pete Cohen, what an inspiring speaker and genuinely down-to-earth person.

His message really resonated with what we do at Medi8, exploring how experience drives behaviour and how simple moments of pause can transform how we think, feel and connect. Pete’s focus on Stop. Breathe. is such a powerful reminder that wellbeing starts with awareness the moment we step back, take a breath and choose how to respond, everything begins to shift.

That same principle underpins our work with couples and teams at Medi8: helping people move from reaction to reflection, from stress to connection, and from habit to intention.

Thanks for the book, Pete and for the insight and inspiration.

Running a small business isn’t always easy. Some days feel like a win, others test every ounce of your patience. But it’s in those tough moments that resilience shows up, the small decisions, the late nights, the “I’ll figure this out” attitude.

And there’s nothing better than being noticed for that determination, whether it’s through external recognition or heartfelt customer feedback, it makes all the effort feel worthwhile.

What brings couples to seek relationship support?

A study (BACP) of nearly 30,000 people attending couples sessions revealed the most common reasons they seek support:

Communication problems – 79.7%
Frequent arguments – 68.9%
Managing conflict – 67.8%
Worries the relationship might end – 65.1%
Partner’s behaviour – 63.8%

These are the real issues couples face every day, and it’s exactly why we do what we do at Medi8 Therapy.

We help couples move from conflict to connection, one honest conversation at a time.

It’s also why we’ve been recognised through national awards, like this one below.
