Today is World Mental Health Day.

It’s in the breaks of this life that we grow into our true selves. You are not here to be perfect every day - You are here to feel. You are here to love. And you are here to grow. And you should feel broken sometimes, if you are doing all of those things.

The analogy is Kintsugi - a Japanese art and philosophy of repairing broken ceramics by mending the fractured pieces with lacquer dusted with powdered gold. It is a technique that highlights, rather than hides, the breakage.

A "golden repair" - transforming breakage from a negative event into an opportunity to create something new and more beautiful. By mending the cracks with gold, the object becomes stronger and more beautiful, a metaphor for personal growth through past trials.

Take care of yourself. Fill those cracks with gold.

It's a great privilege to work with Oncology Cancer patients, terminal or in recovery, offering support at such vulnerable times.

Being invited into their journeys, even briefly, is an honor and brings a deep connection and quiet understanding. Each session becomes more than physical relief - it's a shared space of compassion, dignity and care. To walk alongside these clients, if only for a moment is a humbling and rewarding experience.

Sometimes their journeys end, as has happened this week, but a connection still remains - a quiet reminder of the power of presence and I'm so grateful for the privilege of walking alongside someone at the end of their life.

I'm out of clinic for a couple of days, but am picking up messages. My younger daughter is having surgery to repair an open unhealed collarbone fracture. No wonder the past 6 months have been sore for her 😞.

Always best to get things you're unsure about checked over by a GP or nurse.

This young lad, Archie, is an inspiration. He swam nationally with my daughter's, and went from strength to strength to Commonwealth Level until diagnosed at 22 with inoperable brain tumours.

Is it time to change your routine?

"I guess I'm just getting old" is a common phrase I hear from clients attempting to explain their symptoms. However - getting old doesn't cause injuries. Being older, though, does mean you've had much more time and opportunity to build up trauma in the your body.

Remember - the age of a car doesn't determine the required maintenance schedule - your driving and mileage do!

So book yourself in, get yourself checked over, and ease some of those stresses and strains you might be feeling. Be proactive - you look after your eyesight, teeth, and car. Take time to look after your muscles. Build a schedule in to look after yourself.
