It's All About Health

It's so heartwarming to receives reviews like this one that landed in my in box.

Here's the full review:

"I’ve just finished the Manifesting Magnificence course, and honestly, I loved it. What really stood out to me was how clearly it explains the role of the subconscious mind – how our thought patterns and beliefs quietly drive so much of what we do.

It made a lot of things click in a way that felt practical, not just theoretical.
It’s a detailed course – over 40 videos plus exercises – and I took about two months to go through it properly. That time was worth it. It’s not something you skim; you actually work through it and start noticing shifts as you apply what you’re learning.

The biggest strength, in my view, is the range of tools it gives you to start reprogramming your subconscious. Not everything works the same for everyone, and this course gets that. If one approach doesn’t suit you, there are other methods to try, which made it feel much more realistic and usable.

I’ve come away with a much better understanding of how my mind works and, more importantly, what I can do about it.

I’d strongly recommend this course to anyone who’s serious about doing the inner work and making lasting changes."

I'll add the link in the comments for those of you who are intrugued but would like to give the course a test run first.

“I just don’t feel like myself anymore…”

This is something we hear a lot from women navigating menopause.

It’s often put down to hormonal changes, and whilst they are important, they are only part of the picture.

This stage of life doesn’t just shift your biology.

It interacts with everything your body and mind have been holding over the years, alongside the life changes happening around you.

- Unprocessed stress.
- Long-standing patterns you’ve adapted over time.
- Changes in family dynamics.
- The constant push to keep going.

When hormonal changes meet life changes, anxiety, overwhelm, low mood, or “just not feeling yourself” can start to show up.

It can feel confusing… even unsettling.

But it’s not random.

And it’s not a sign that something is wrong with you.

For many women, this time is actually revealing what’s been held beneath the surface for years, giving the body and mind a chance to process and let go.

When you understand it this way, the experience starts to make more sense.

And more importantly, it becomes less about “just getting through it” and more about understanding what your body is asking for.

Something you can work with, rather than something you simply have to get through.

Our latest blog, More Than Hormones: Understanding the Emotional Symptoms of Menopause, explains why this happens, and more importantly, what you can do to reduce the impact.

And the 3rd celebration is…

Last week we mentioned we had 3 things to celebrate. Well, this last one is a little extra special, so it deserves its own post.

For those who don’t know, years ago we invented a back support cushion for sofas and armchairs that looks just like any other scatter cushion.

The idea came from clients who found their sofa the source of their issue, or the last place they could sit when they were in pain.

It was selling well and getting fantastic reviews. Then, just as we moved to Somerset, our manufacturer retired 🥺

Since then, we’ve been scouring the UK for a new manufacturer, but kept hitting dead ends.

We were debating giving up and chalking it up to experience until a chance conversation with Charlotte England from

“Have you tried Suttons in Langport?”

Who?

Jo and her team have been great. They have been so helpful and patient, ensuring we get things right. And last week, we pressed go on production.

The Sittingwell Back Support cushion is back 🥳

We were also happy to be able to work with another West Country business.

in Plymouth have been equally helpful in supplying care labels for the cushions too. So it really is a Southwest product now.

Everyone on our waiting list has already been informed, so we can now let you all know and start promoting.

Back supports don’t need to look old fashioned, clinical, or be an obvious orthopaedic product, which is exactly why you need a Sittingwell back support cushion for your sofa 😉

Well, they say things happen in three’s…

This has definitely been a week of three.

In fact, 3 wonderful celebrations.

The first a fun one:

Following last year’s panto, Lorna couldn’t resist putting one foot forward again and auditioned for this year’s performance of Dick Whittington…

And she got the part of King/Queen Rat (Gender to be confirmed depending on my whim). The villain of the show. She can’t wait to get her teeth stuck into this role and bring out her wicked side a little.

The second was a lovely surprise.

An email that popped into the inbox last Friday….

We’ve been nominated again for this year’s West Country Women Awards for Women In Health, Social Care and Wellbeing.

Thank you Debbie Gilbert for your kind words in our nomination. We just do what we’re passionate about, so it means a lot when others notice the impact it’s making.

We’re really looking forward to the award process and meeting all the other female nominees along the way. Last year was such a great experience, and this year we feel more ready as a business.

The third celebration.

We’ll tell you more about that next week….

So, what are you celebrating this week?

Breathing is something most of us rarely think about until it becomes difficult.

For those living with asthma, allergies, sinus congestion, or lingering respiratory symptoms after illness, breathing comfortably can make a noticeable difference to everyday life.

Halotherapy, also known as dry salt therapy, is a gentle, drug-free approach that aims to support respiratory health while providing a calm and restorative environment.

In our latest guest blog, Rachel from Halo Breathing Space in Somerset introduces halotherapy (salt therapy), explaining how it works and who it may support.

You can read the full article here - https://itsallabouthealth.co.uk/supporting-respiratory-health-with-salt-therapy/

If you live locally The Old School, Queen Camel, where she's based is having an open day on the 2nd May where you'll have a chance to talk with her and see the treatment room.

Do you think stress is causing your migraines?

Most people do.

They look at their diary, workload, how busy life feels… and assume that’s the reason.

Often it’s not the busyness itself.

It’s what’s happening underneath it.

• Saying yes when you really mean no
• Taking on too much and not setting clear boundaries
• Putting other people’s needs before your own
• Feeling responsible for everyone and everything
• Not trusting your own decisions
• Overthinking, overanalysing, trying to get everything “right”
• Holding in what you really want to say
• Feeling stuck in situations you don’t know how to change

We often think we’re stressed because we’ve got too much on our plates.

More often than not, our actions, reactions and behaviours are what creates that internal stress.

That internal pressure keeps rising… and eventually your body steps in.

A migraine can be your body’s way of saying, “enough now… you need to stop.”
The problem is that “time out” doesn’t feel like rest at all.

Once it passes, most people unwittingly go straight back into the same patterns… so the migraines keep coming back.

With PSYCH-K® and Root Cause Therapy, we can identify the subconscious mind and body triggers and release them.

Something different starts to happen.

- You begin to create boundaries.
- You trust yourself more.
- Your sense of self worth strengthens.
- You naturally start saying no with more ease, and act from that inner knowing rather than overriding it.

When that internal pressure is no longer being generated, the migraine no longer needs to send you a message.

If you suffer with migraines, take a moment to reflect on these points… how true are they for you? Feel free to send me a message if you feel an outside perspective could help.

Had you realised the depth of the mind body link?

Love this idea from the film Unsung Hero

We watched it over the Easter weekend (get your tissues ready if you've not seen it yet)

It's based on the true story of a family who move to Nashville from Australia after the Dad looses everything when his music promotion business has a bad run.

When they loose everything the Mum (Helen) gets the family to create a 'wish board'

Under "Please" the put all the things they need - food, money, work, furniture...

They hold the intention daily that those needs will be answered.

When things come into their life, they move it from the please to the "Thank You" list.

I talk a lot about knowing what you want, holding the attention for it coming into your life but also for having gratitude what you already have.

I use vision boards, visualisations and gratitude lists but haven't put it together like this before.

I love the idea of creating a board like this to help keep the vision alive but also regularly connect with what you have already created.

It helps keep you energy high and reminds you of how far you've come.

Have you tried anything like this yourself?

Healing is more than skin deep.

If you've been through surgery, whether recently or years ago, and something still doesn’t feel quite right, you're not alone.

You might notice tightness or discomfort around your scar… but it's also really common to feel emotionally out of sorts, or disconnected from the part of your body that was affected.

As a mind-body therapist, I knew when I had my own major surgery how important it was to support my physical recovery, but I’ve also come to understand how deeply surgery can affect us emotionally and energetically, even when it’s planned.

Most aftercare guidance focuses purely on the physical, but I believe healing is more complete when we support all parts of ourselves:

💪🏻 Physically
💛 Emotionally
🧠 Mentally

Whilst getting help from a professional therapist is hugely beneficial, there’s also a lot you can do yourself.

That’s why I created this free Holistic Scar Care Guide, to gently share some of the things you can do to help your body and mind heal.

If you're navigating recovery, or know someone who is, you can download it here:

Hay fever… caused by a nun?

I know, it sounds ridiculous. But this is one of those stories that has stayed with me.

When we were training on the PSYCH-K® health and wellbeing course, a lady shared this. She had previously done the training and went home to practise on her husband.

He wasn’t into complementary healthcare. Very logical, rooted in Western medicine, but he agreed so she could practise.

He’d had hay fever for decades, so that’s what they worked on.

During the process, it came up that the root cause linked back to when he was 8 years old.

He immediately went pale and said, “Oh my God…”

He’d gone to school at a convent. One sunny day, he and his friends climbed over a fence into a neighbouring meadow to play. They were caught by the strictest nun, dragged back, and punished. This was in the days of caning.

In that moment, his body linked:

Grass pollen = nuns with canes
Nuns = punishment
Punishment = pain and upset

From then on, every time grass pollen appeared, his body reacted.

He’d lived with hay fever for over 40 years.

Not because he was “allergic” in the way we think, but because his body was trying to protect him from something it believed was a threat.

What I love about this story is that he didn’t believe in the approach. He was just open enough to try it. What came up completely shifted both his belief and his hay fever.

It’s a reminder that your mind and body don’t always work in the logical way we expect, but there is always a reason behind the response.

In my experience, there will be an initial reaction to a person, event or situation with autoimmune conditions, not just hay fever.

When the stress is resolved and the memory is processed, the immune system can settle and the body can respond differently.

I couldn't resist experimenting the ChatGPT on this one, do you think the nasty nun looked like this one?
