Absolutely delighted to speak at this Saturday morning’s session at the Morley Grief Group about ‘Wellness after Grief.

The group is run my friend, the Legend that is Nicola Holdsworth.

This group is a massive lifeline to the people of Morley and surrounding areas who have lost a loved one.

And let me tell you, this fabulous gathering of folk were not all ‘doom & gloom’ but they were chatting & laughing and really enjoying themselves which is so good to see.

They are all there literally supporting and helping each another up.

We underestimate what an impact grief can have on your physical and emotional health so it was really lovely to be able to offer a little guidance about wellbeing and sleep health.

These guys meet up on the last Saturday of the month at Morley Central Methodist Church on Wesley Street, Morley.

Had a great day with the team at Nexus at the Leeds University on Tuesday offering relaxing head, neck, shoulder and back massages for their Wellness Day.

Using an upright chair offers greater flexibility when working within an office environment.

Thank you to Tara Holleyhead & Alan Gallacher for inviting me along.

If you are thinking of offering your team a Wellness Day or you have an event coming, up drop me a line and I can help you organise a wonderfully relaxing event your team will really enjoy.

There are so many great reasons to stop smoking…. 🚬🚬🚬

I stopped 23 years ago after years of a 40 a day habit.

It literally was the hardest thing I have ever done.
But so so worth it.

But I promise that if you do, you will feel like a different person within a month.

They say ‘You are what you eat’
and with mounting evidence that introducing more plants and vegetables into our everyday diet, we will be doing our gut biome a huge favour.

I have never been a massive fan of veg for most of my life and have had to treat myself almost like a child to get the stuff down me.

Fast forward to being a ‘Proper Grown-Up’ (45+) 😁 I absolutely love the stuff.

Recently revisited the love, ease and simplicity of the mighty SOUP MAKER.

I cannot stress to you how easy it is to make a really nutritious and quick meal for yourself with one of these machines.

Literally, throw frozen veg, a stock cube and some water in it and within 25 minutes you have a restaurant quality, silky smooth soup that your gut biome will be proud of you for.

Honestly, they cost around £30 and are energy efficient to boot !

There’s some great recipes online too.

What’s not to love?

Rare Disease Day is observed on the last day of February each year to raise awareness about rare diseases and their impact on patients' lives. It aims to advocate for improved access to diagnosis, treatment, and medical research for rare diseases, which often receive less attention due to their low prevalence. The day serves to unite patients, caregivers, healthcare professionals, researchers, and policymakers to address the challenges faced by those living with rare diseases and to promote solidarity within the rare disease community.

Last night I attended a ‘Soundbathing Session’ run by a friend in the next village to where I live.
What is Sound Bathing, you ask ?
A sound bath is a meditative experience where those in attendance are “bathed” in sound waves.
These waves are produced by various sources, including healing instruments such as gongs, singing bowls, percussion, chimes, rattles, didgeridoos, tuning forks, and even the human voice itself.
The intention is really to change and help balance the energy of the participants.
Now I know it sounds a bit “Out There” but I urge you to try it if you have the opportunity.
This morning, I have woken after having the most rested night’s sleep and feeling incredibly calm.
I say, always keep an open mind to these things and give it a go, even if you are a little bit sceptical.

🌿 Skincare Tips 🌿

Have you ever tried ‘Dry Body Brushing’?

Dry body brushing has several potential benefits:

Exfoliation

Dry brushing the skin helps remove dead skin cells, promoting smoother and softer skin.

Stimulation of the lymphatic system

Dry brushing may help stimulate the lymphatic system, which can aid in detoxification and waste removal from the body.

Improved Circulation

Dry brushing the skin can enhance blood flow, potentially leading to improved circulation and healthier-looking skin.

Reduced appearance of cellulite

While not scientifically proven, some people believe that dry brushing can help reduce the appearance of cellulite by promoting lymphatic drainage and smoothing the skin's surface.

Stress relief

The act of dry brushing can be soothing and may provide a calming effect, helping to reduce stress and promote relaxation.

Preparation for other skincare products

By exfoliating the skin, dry brushing may help other skincare products, such as moisturizers, serums, and oils, pe*****te more effectively.

Always be sure to use gentle strokes and avoid brushing over sensitive or irritated skin to prevent damage or discomfort.

Follow up with a body oil, lotion or cream to complete your routine and your skin will look and feel amazing.
