Not quite the start to the New Year we had planned 😬

In the early hours of New Year’s Day, a car collided with a parked vehicle outside the clinic, which was then pushed into our garden wall, causing significant damage (although thankfully we believe no serious injuries).

A huge thank you to our friends at DCM Construction who stepped in immediately, repaired the wall within days, and made sure everything was structurally sound and safe for pedestrians passing by.

They made what could have been a very stressful situation as painless as possible and kept disruption to an absolute minimum.

Thanks again, DCM — we can’t recommend you highly enough.

✔ lifting and carrying your baby many times a day
✔ feeding in awkward positions
✔ starting to carry a growing toddler

🎙️ New Podcast Episode: “Pain — Friend or Foe?”
with Ben Scott!

We’re excited to share that our very own Ben Scott has just released Episode 2 of his podcast Feel, Learn, Grow — and it’s one you won’t want to miss.
Pain is something most of us fear, avoid, or fight…
But what if pain wasn’t the enemy?

In this episode, Ben explores a powerful new way of thinking about pain — not just the physical kind, but emotional and mental pain too. With over 15 years of clinical and coaching experience, he dives into:
✨ Why pain might actually be a guide
✨ What it can teach us if we learn to listen
✨ How even difficult experiences can help us grow
✨ Practical tools to shift your relationship with pain
✨ Personal stories that reveal how pain can become an unlikely ally

Ben’s message?
Pain isn’t always something to silence. Sometimes, it’s here to help us live more fully.
If you’re curious, feeling stuck, or simply want a fresh perspective on something we all experience, this episode is a must-listen.
