At Quest Holistic Therapies, we understand the importance of discussing mental health with nuance and care. Recent comments by former Health Secretary Sir Jeremy Hunt about anxiety and depression highlight the need to critically evaluate our approach to mental well-being. His suggestion that we might be 'over-medicalising' normal traumatic events encourages us to reflect on how we address mental health.

Research shows that social isolation can worsen symptoms of anxiety and depression. Sir Jeremy stresses the importance of social contact, suggesting that keeping individuals engaged in the workforce can lead to better mental health outcomes. What are your thoughts on this?

Moreover, engaging our thoughts is vital for managing mental health. Techniques like Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) help reframe negative thought patterns, promoting a more positive outlook. Equally important are rest and relaxation, which prevent burnout and build resilience.

As we navigate these challenges and the strain on services, let's advocate for a balanced approach to mental health that values both scientific understanding and compassionate support. Together, we can foster a community that prioritises healing, connection, and recovery. 💚

The Former health secretary, Sir Jeremy Hunt, says people shouldn't be signed off work for anxiety and depression and that society is 'over medicalising' the impact of normal traumatic events.
He told Mail Online: "I think it’s immoral we are signing off 3,000 people a day saying they don’t have to look for work. The majority of those have anxiety and depression and the one thing they need is social contact. If you sign them out of the world of work, their anxiety is going to get worse rather than better."

Unlock the Power of Your Smile!

Did you know that the simple act of smiling can have a profound impact on your emotional health? 😊 When you smile, your brain releases feel-good neurotransmitters like dopamine, endorphins, and serotonin, which help reduce stress and elevate your mood. It’s like a natural, instant mood booster!

At Quest Holistic Therapies, we believe in harnessing the power of positive emotions to enhance your well-being. That’s why we integrate Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) into our holistic approach. EFT, often referred to as “tapping,” combines gentle tapping on acupressure points with positive affirmations to release emotional blockages and promote healing.

We understand that smiling can sometimes feel difficult, especially during challenging times. But that’s where EFT can make a difference. By addressing the underlying emotional issues and promoting a sense of calm, EFT can help make it easier to find your smile again.

Imagine combining the uplifting power of a smile with the transformative potential of EFT!

By incorporating these practices into your daily routine, you can create a powerful synergy that supports emotional balance, reduces anxiety, and fosters a sense of inner peace.

Join us at Quest Holistic Therapies and discover how a simple smile and EFT can transform your emotional health. Let’s tap into happiness together!

Unpopular Belief? Maybe. But I stand by it.

Healing isn’t only for crisis mode. You don’t need to be falling apart to deserve space, support, or transformation.

We’re taught to cope, to carry on, to hold it together even when the signals from our body and nervous system say otherwise. And yes, even practitioners like me need reminders to listen.

But I’ve seen what happens when whispers are ignored until they become screams.

Choosing care before crisis isn’t indulgent. It’s wise. It’s powerful.

Holistic therapies aren’t just for breakdowns. They’re for breakthroughs for reclaiming your wellbeing before the pressure hits breaking point.

If life looks fine on the outside, but something within is quietly asking for more… don’t wait.

When you thrive, the ripple effects reach far beyond you.

At Quest Holistic Therapies, we support through EFT tapping and nervous system-focused wellness in person and online. Because healing should meet you before you’re in pieces.

Let’s talk about what investing in yourself truly means.

Reflecting on a shift, a sudden emergency reminded me of the importance of staying calm, acting quickly and trusting experience.
It was a moment where instinct and training came together.

What I learned? We're not just there for the easy times. We're anchors in the unexpected.

I felt grateful and deeply connected to the purpose of our work. Holding space when it matters most is something no textbook can truly prepare you for.

Let this be a reminder: presence, training, calm—it all counts when choosing a therapist ♥️

Please share our business, like our posts and comment below your reflections.

Right now I feel *grateful and grounded* in the kind of way that comes from doing the work that truly aligns with your heart.

Running Quest Holistic Therapies and creating a new business Equestrian Freedom Techniques isn’t always tidy or predictable. Some days it’s soulful and inspiring, other days it’s systems, scheduling and second guesses. But always, it’s real. It’s human. And it’s filled with purpose.

Lately, I’ve been reminded that small, consistent offerings—like a calming session, a shared story, or a moment of stillness—can create the biggest shifts. For both people and horses.

So today, I’m honouring the quiet wins. The nervous rider who found their breath. The client who left feeling lighter. The post that reached the person who needed it most.

If you're walking your own healing path—whether in a saddle or at a turning point—I see you. And I'm walking right beside you.

Behind the scenes, where the magic’s not always tidy...

This is me, mid-puzzle, laptop open, scribbles in the notebook, probably with a half-finished cuppa just out of frame. No filter. No perfect lighting. Just the honest rhythm of working, thinking, building.

These little behind-the-scenes moments they are the work. The in-betweens. The figuring-it-out bits.

And today, that’s what I want to share.

Not polished. Just present.

Finally got my Ariel yoga setup in my unfinished extension!

Decided to make the most of the space and it’s been so worth it. While everyone else is off enjoying their own activities, I’m finding peace and relaxation just hanging around.

It’s been a long wait, but the tranquility and joy of this practice make it all worthwhile. Even if their isn’t much of the yoga part going on 😂
