Well, what a month it’s been! My annual weekend of drumming & percussion joy, a weekend learning clinical cupping, turning 50 surrounded by glorious food & wonderful people, & now, as a continuing nod to the birthday as well as a “hats off to us” for our 15 year anniversary, a much-needed return to the magic of Cornwall. Whoop!

See you back in the therapy room on the 6th October!

For most of us, makeup is just something you wear every day. But shockingly, some contain harmful chemicals called EDCs that have been linked to breast cancer. This should be a national scandal, but instead, it’s being glossed over.

We deserve to know what’s in our cosmetics, so that we can take charge of our health. But, without transparency or awareness, we can’t protect ourselves and others.

It takes 30 seconds

17/09/2025

15 - 60 minutes 🕐

That's how long it can take me after a first introduction call to research & record the different prescribed medications a new client may be on 💊

It might be 3, but perhaps 5, 7. More.

Why do I & other practitioners need to do this?

It's necessary to check for contraindications (reasons I shouldn't use a therapy on a particular client) and it's also good to check out any side effects i.e.what symptom belongs to a clients natural dis-ease and what symptom might belong to a medication in the form of a side effect.

Essentially every single therapy, every single herb, remedy or medication is asking something of the body.

They are all asking the body to do, or in the case of an 'anti' to not do something.

So this review helps me to know...

❓Whether I should obtain GP consent
❓Which additional questions to ask
❓What external, synthetic or artificial influences the body systems may be under before I ask even more of it by doing what I do.

It's extra time, but it helps us all to apply holistic therapies safely & to support clients in their health journey.

Eating clean, exercising & still using toxic beauty & home products?

If it's not safe enough to eat ... ❌ 👇

🧴 Hidden Lymph Blockers in Your Bathroom

🌿 How Everyday Products Could Be Slowing Down Your Body’s Natural Detox System

We all know to eat clean, drink water, and move to support our lymphatic system. But what if the real problem is hiding in your bathroom cabinet?

The lymphatic system is one of your body’s primary detox pathways—filtering toxins, pathogens, and waste from your tissues through a vast network of vessels and nodes. But if that system is overwhelmed by daily chemical exposure, drainage slows, swelling increases, and inflammation rises.

Let’s expose the common bathroom culprits:

🚿 1. Deodorants (Especially Antiperspirants)

Most store-bought deodorants contain aluminum salts to block sweat glands. But sweating is a vital lymphatic detox tool—especially through the armpits, where a major lymph node cluster sits.
⛔ Blocking sweat = trapping toxins = lymph congestion.

🔍 Also watch for: parabens, triclosan, synthetic fragrances.

✅ Switch to: natural deodorants with magnesium, clay, or baking soda

🧴 2. Lotions & Body Creams

What goes on your skin, goes into your body. Many lotions contain xenoestrogens—chemicals that mimic estrogen and disrupt hormone function. This hormonal imbalance can cause:
• Lymph stagnation
• Breast tenderness
• Cellulite
• Puffy underarms

📍Ingredients to avoid: parabens, phthalates, PEGs, synthetic fragrances

✅ Try: shea butter, coconut oil, or clean brands with transparent ingredients

🧼 3. Body Wash & Shampoo

Lather isn’t always luxury. Many soaps and shampoos contain sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and formaldehyde-releasing preservatives, which may increase your body’s toxic burden—making your lymph system work overtime.

✅ Use sulfate-free, biodegradable, essential oil-based products

🧺 4. Laundry Detergents & Fabric Softeners

Residue from your clothes and sheets comes in contact with your skin 24/7—meaning any harsh chemicals are constantly absorbed.
Many brands use:
• Optical brighteners
• Fragrance chemicals
• Ammonium compounds

These can clog pores, irritate the skin, and tax the lymph near the chest, armpits, and groin.

✅ Switch to: natural detergent powders, wool dryer balls, and unscented options

💄 5. Makeup & Sunscreen

Heavy metals, microplastics, and preservatives used in cosmetics often accumulate in lymph-rich areas like the face and neck.
Some sunscreens even contain oxybenzone, a hormone disruptor known to irritate the skin and potentially disrupt immune cells.

✅ Choose mineral sunscreens (zinc oxide) and clean beauty brands

🧠 SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOUR LYMPH?

If your lymph system is constantly being fed toxins it wasn’t designed to handle, you may start to feel:
• Swollen lymph nodes
• Puffy face or underarms
• Brain fog
• Fatigue
• Skin breakouts or rashes

And the worst part? You may never connect it to your soap.

🌿 TAKE ACTION

Start small. Detox your bathroom one product at a time.

✅ Clean Up Checklist:
• Natural deodorant
• Sulfate/paraben-free body wash
• Non-toxic lotion
• Natural laundry detergent
• Clean makeup or none at all on detox days

Your lymphatic system is your body’s silent janitor—and it works around the clock to keep you well. Help it by reducing the invisible load.

🧡 Your health doesn’t just depend on what you put in your body… it depends on what you put ON your body too.

A P P O I N T M E N T S ~ S e p t e m b e r 🍁🍃🍂

Good evening Lovely people,

Well, we've turned the corner into September & whilst it's still pretty hot most days the first maple leaves have fallen on Lady Garbo's drive & there's a definite top & tail nip to the day🍁

In Homeopathy and other holistic medical systems we know that ailments that are sensitive to seasonal change points & to an increase in damp can start to fluctuate now.
Moods can change too.
It's a reminder that we are still natural beings responding to a natural world.

As well as the coming of Autumn my birthday is in September. And my internal snow globe is always slightly shaken by it's arrival. That 'nother year round the sun thing' is a natural time for reflection & for seeing where's one's at, or not. Then there's the resulting gratitude & acceptance.

Anyway, all that being the case my hours will be sligthly different here & there because I'm working different dates & taking a holiday too.

📅 Here's what's available in my world of Homeopathy, Myofascial Release, Massage Therapy, Reflexology Lymph Drainage & Reiki this month...

"Whether you are looking for a single session of bodywork, or more long term treatment I provide a gentle, tailored and supportive approach for your mind and body that's completely holistic.

When we are unwell or in pain we may know we need something to help, but it can be difficult to know what that is, and where to start.

Often our symptoms become rolled into one uncomfortable package that there doesn't seem to be one single "cure" for.

That's where I can help..."
