A lovely testimony from one of my clients, I am so happy for Anne. It is so rewarding to see how a collaboration based on trust, exchanges, support and sometimes "hard" work can turn around a health issue!

"I’ve been struggling with gut issues for decades and more recently with severe fatigue having a serious impact on my day to day. I was stuck and unsure how to get back on track. With Patricia’s help and support, I’ve turned it around in a few months. She designed a well-thought-out and balanced plan and made it easy to implement so that I have nothing to worry about. It’s gratifying to re-introduce food in my diet. There is definitely something about her approach that works for me!

There are numerous benefits to reading a book:
- It helps you relax and reduce stress.
- It improves brain health, concentration, and memory.
- It increases creativity and knowledge.
- It helps improve sleep.

Try to spend at least 15 minutes a day reading a few pages of a book you enjoy (a physical book, not on a screen).

If you don't like the book, try another one until you find the right fit. The more you read, the more you'll enjoy being immersed in a story. You can also discuss the last book you read with friends, just like you would discuss movies or TV shows.

Reading is an activity that won't cost you anything:
- You probably have a few books at home that you've been meaning to read but haven't found the time for.
- You can borrow books from friends and family.
- You can visit the library.
- There are many little free libraries around where you can take a book for free and bring the ones you've read.

Enjoy your reading; you'll feel much better for it!

OCTOBER IS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK. It affects mainly women (1 in 7 will develop breast cancer during their lifetime).

The causes of breast cancer are not fully understood but we know that genetic background, lifestyle choices, environment, age and gender play a part in the risk of developing breast cancer.
Therefore, reflecting on our wellness, modifying our lifestyle and behaviour (diet, exercise, exposure to chemicals...) could influence our level of breast cancer risk.

Then, there is the life with and after cancer. Along with conventional treatments (surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy..) There is a plethora of complementary therapies available to support us through our cancer diagnosis and beyond. From nutrition to counselling, from exercise to mindfulness, from acupuncture to massage... taking care of our mental, emotional and physical health is paramount to help us to better cope with what life throws at us.

So, Ladies (and gentlemen) =>

1 - Be breast aware and know what to check for.
see the Cancer Research Uk link to breast checking below:
https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/breast-cancer/getting-diagnosed/finding-breast-cancer-early

2 - Adopt healthier lifestyle choices and behaviour to help reduce the risk.

3 - Learn to be kind to yourself and to practice self-care living with cancer or not.

Recently, I have been asked a lot of questions about the menopause; most probably because I am going to turn 50 and many of my friends are in the same age bracket. Well, we are experiencing the process at first hand!
So, I thought I will post some weekly simple facts and tips about it.

The first post has been released today.
