Do you find them on your dog? Sharing a post from this time last year from my personal page. We literally discovered Ruby’s first tick two nights ago! Same protocol followed as below!

In the past two weeks we have discovered in excess of 30 ticks on Ruby, our cockapoo.

She has tolerated it amazingly, but they have been on her eyebrow, the fur above her nose, outside and inside of both ears and around her shoulders 😬😛

We are definitely experts with the tick remover tool and a bit of sellotape 🤣🤣

We are treating her homeopathically. Every time I remove them (most days at the moment), she gets a dose of Ledum 30c. This is great for bites, puncture wounds etc and a good remedy to give after it has been removed. She is also on Staphysagria 30c daily to try and ‘ward off’ the blighters - this is a great remedy for invasive pests.

Considering starting Silica 30c soon too, she has a few where she has scratched the body off and left the head under the skin. They have scabbed over and her body is dealing with all of this amazingly, but Silica should just help repel what’s left. Silica is a great remedy if you get a splinter or something stuck under the skin and the body needs a bit of a ‘helping hand’ to try and expel it!

We do not use chemical preventatives so do expect she may well pick these up from time to time; though this last batch has been rather excessive and the most we’ve ever had to deal with! However we’re through the worst of it now. Though I’m checking her daily as some of the tiniest ones are hard to spot initially.

Homeopathy helps her body cope and helps her heal every time.

Do you use homeopathy with your animals? Such a gentle natural modality.

I’ve been thinking about how we view rest and down time, recently.

We live in a busy society, many of us operate at full pelt and live hectic lives with busy schedules and demands placed on us both by ourselves, our families and others.

😴How often do you feel ‘guilty’ when you take a break or rest?

😴How often are you actually able to take a much needed rest?

😴Do you feel your downtime needs to be productive?

Can you move away from some of the negativity around rest or even nap times if that is present in you?

When my firstborn was a baby I was surprisingly good at allowing myself to rest when he did. I found that much harder when my second came along! As they got older and the sleepless nights reduced, tiredness took different forms, not necessarily from sleep deprivation but the intensity of looking after two busy children, running a home and other demands. Sometimes I craved rest and sleep, other times I craved peace and quiet, sometimes both! To this day I still do. I think that’s part of being human. Connecting to our bodies and listening to what we need is SO important.

Are you able to pause and allow yourself permission to rest? Perhaps that’s going to bed for an hour or getting under a blanket on the sofa, maybe it’s ignoring tasks that need doing for a while to allow your body time to rest and perhaps heal/recover/recharge.

Homeopaths view rest, sleep and relaxation as a very important part of a healthy balanced lifestyle. I always encourage my clients to listen to their bodies, tune in to what their body is telling them and connect with that. Rest and sleep are very healing and restorative.

𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲 with what your body is telling/asking you
𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗱 by honouring that need
𝗥𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 - you will feel the reward of listening and connecting with your needs.

Let me know in the comments if you honour your need for a rest?!

Bringing J O Y in to J A N U A R Y

As I was walking the dog this morning with my son, in the sun ☀️, I was reflecting on which small things help to bring joy, even when Christmas is over, money is spent and routines and daily demands are back in full force, and suddenly the winter days and weeks are spreading out in front of us, in what sometimes feel like a seemingly endless fashion…

How do you help yourself to feel ok about the winter months ahead and help sn**ch small moments of joy?

For me it is a few small things including:

☀️Treating myself to a few bunches of daffodils for the windowsill every week. These flowers literally make my heart sing and I was SO happy to see them on sale on 3rd Jan!!

☀️Walking every day. Spending longer when the sun is out. Stopping for a few moments to feel the suns rays on my face and savouring that moment in its entirety.

☀️Lighting the fire on colder evenings and getting cosy. Using a heated blanket on my bed 😊

☀️Cooking meals for my family with love and enjoyment, I love this form of being able to ‘nourish’ my family and friends. More about this in another post soon x

☀️Spending time with my dog who thinks she is still a puppy! She has the ability to put a smile on anyone’s face and is permanently playful!

I hope you are able to create and savour small moments of joy that bring calm, relaxation and rest in to these colder, longer weeks. Let me know in the comments what works for you? Xx

2024 is here and maybe it’s time to give some thought to how we care for ourselves.

How do you look after yourself the majority of the time?

Do you reach for paracetamol at first symptoms? Take pharmaceutical medicine when you feel a cold coming on?

Did you know that with homeopathy, you can use a wonderfully natural and gentle alternative to pharmaceuticals every time as an alternative?!

It’s gentle, no risk of side effects and with the right remedy, quick acting.

What else do you do to look after yourself?

Did you know the power of simple things such as:

💜Turning off your phone an hour earlier
💜Incorporating a short walk in to your day
💜Getting to bed a bit earlier with a good book
💜Drinking an extra glass of water during the day
💜Listening in to what your body is telling you/ asking for. Maybe those aches and pains mean you’re not prioritising rest enough for yourself or those regular headaches might mean you are dehydrated…

There are so many different ways we can support our bodies. But a wonderful first start is to see your homeopath! Maybe you have a sore throat that keeps coming back every time you start to feel run down or perhaps you have a longer term more persistent issue? Did you know when I take your case I deep dive in to your health from over the course of your life because sometimes, things from our past can link to persistent problems today…

💜Understanding your complete health picture is a big part of working with a homeopath💜

Unlike a GP consultation, prescribing in isolation is not what we do and taking everything in to account, spending time asking the right questions and analysing your case afterwards in depth IS what we do!

It is my joy and passion to help my clients help themselves to feel better and get better, physically, emotionally and mentally 💜

For example, unaddressed emotional problems can lead to physical health problems.
Often by addressing the root cause in homeopathy, we gently support health issues to improve and resolve.

An initial consultation with me takes around two hours and we explore all aspects of your health. We can meet in person at my clinic in Southborough or via video call, whatever works best.

Curious, but not yet sure? Feel free to contact me for a free 15 minute discovery call!

💜 I look forward to working with you in the New Year! 💜
