Many people ask me how I relax when I'm not working.

Well, I do lots of things! I love exercise.... Walking, running, swimming, cycling and gardening anything really that helps me to mentally switch my head off and focus on that moment, while also getting the physical health benefits.

I also love drawing and painting, I have been creative for as long as I can remember... My not Barbie, Barbie never had a proper house... I made her one out of shoe boxes.... (Plenty of recycling went on in our house back in the dy 😂).

I love how when you start being creative it's starts as nothing then becomes something all through the power of your mind, through images or memories and transfers through your hands to produce a piece of art.

A few years back I started to paint which I had never tried before but now I love it, although I don't really give myself time to it, however, that is one thing I am trying to change as painting/drawing time is my 'Me' time, and I will be taking a bit of extra time off over the summer to achieve this.

I have a FB page with some of my latest creations on it, please feel free to have a look and leave a comment on my Art & Soul page.

How often do you take a few minutes of your day to enjoy your surroundings and just be in that moment? Seriously, look at this...how can you not benefit or feel calmer watching this?

Taking a few minutes out of your day to switch off and enjoy the beauty around you, can do wonders for your Well-being and heath. You don't even have to leave your own property, just go outside and focus on the sound of nature around you, take a few deep breaths and allow your nervous system to engage it's relaxation response ☺️

As a famous brand says
"Just do It! ".

I just wanted to say to all my clients a massive thank you for all your support over the last 19 years...were has that time gone 😳!

Many of you have been with me since 2006, and not only have you been coming for regular treatments but you have also recommended my treatments to friends, and family and strangers! I have had clients whom have been going through difficult situations, and I hope that through the treatments, they have gained relief and help in their holistic well-being. There are many therapists out there locallly and your ongoing support over the years hasn't gone unnoticed.

Isn't lovely when you can go somewhere for a little "me time", disconnect yourself from the word and just relax!

However, with accessibility to mobile devices being part of our everyday living now, I am seeing that people are finding it harder to do so. There is no denying that mobile phones, smart watches etc have a valuable place in our lives.... but when do they start to take it over and have a negative impact on them also?

I have found over the years I use mine more for a camera and to play music than anything else... Its constantly on silent and unless I'm actually doing something on it (like this!), I miss more messages and calls that I care to admit.. Normally I have to get someone to call it to.find out where I left it last, I I'm a nightmare!

I feel better for this though, because if I didn't do this I feel like I can never get away from constant ties... I go out walking every morning with my son and we talk about what's on our mind, laugh, cry (that's me generally!), and enjoy listening to the world around us... Its a lovely feeling to be disconnected from technology.

So I have a favour to ask all my clients.... that when you are coming for a treatment which is for relaxation, to either leave your phone or smartwatch in your car, or place it in the box which I will provide in my room on silent... All I ever want is for you all to get the maximum benefits from your treatments, and unfortunatley when you hear ding, pop or buzz coming from a device, but it is hard to switch of and achieve it.

So it conclude this post....apologies in advance..... if I take a while to return your call or message... Now you know why!!
