Eating seasonally is so tasty (and easy!) at this time of year. Right now, broad beans are delivering in bulk - a favourite in this household is raw in a salad after double podding them (pod them as normal, blanch in boiling water, drop into cold water, then gently squeeze to remove the outer skin). Or fried in some butter with salt and pepper. Here is a good article that explains double podding in more detail with lots of photos!

Wondering how to prepare broad beans? Double podding, or double shelling, broad beans is the process by which you remove the tough outer skins, exposing the beautifully tender bright green beans.

Stress incontinence is a common yet often under-discussed condition that affects millions of people worldwide – particularly women. It occurs when physical movement or activity – such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercising – puts pressure (or “stress”) on the bladder, leading to unintentional leakage of urine. While it’s especially prevalent after childbirth, during menopause, or in the aging population, stress incontinence can affect anyone at any age.

Stress incontinence is typically the result of weakened pelvic floor muscles or a loss of support to the urethra.

Many people mistakenly believe stress incontinence is simply a normal part of aging or postpartum life, but it’s not something you have to live with. In addition to traditional methods, Osteopathy and targeted exercise can play a crucial role in managing pelvic floor issues.

Don't let your fear of flying stop you exploring!

A friend who is terrified of flying recently got back from a trip of a lifetime to Japan. She is so delighted that she didn't let the fear hold her back.

Do you dread the summer holidays?

Everyone else is getting excited and planning which foreign sights they want to see, which books will entertain them on that sun lounger, but you have a growing feeling of dread, because the holidays mean that you will have to face getting on a plane – and that terrifies you!

Using EFT and visualisation in hypnosis, our hypnotherapist, Louise Coyle, can help get to the roots of the fear and begin to clear it. She will teach you helpful techniques that will be of benefit to you in managing any type of anxiety in your life.

During this summer, Louise has a special offer of 5 sessions for the price of 4, which should be plenty to get ready to relax and really enjoy your holiday this year.
