Fear…
Fear is a compass telling you where to go… something I came across ages ago & it flashed into my head recently slightly differently – Fear is showing me the next ‘piece’ to work on… Frankly, I can’t remember what was on my mind, or going on in my life at the time, but, those of you who know me well, know I keep
Anecdotal Evidence or Wisdom
I was having a conversation recently with someone (male) who was a little scathing around ‘anecdotal evidence’ within medicine & I began to wonder if it was because I am a woman that I am very happy with what I would call anecdotal wisdom… And, could it also be that growing up at a different time, things that are now perceived to be dangerous,
Grief – in all its forms…
Grief… some of you may already have decided not to continue reading, or some will realise, that like Birth, there are many meanings… Grief does not have to mean death of a person, though obviously it can & it does, but it can also refer to relationships, jobs, childhood or other periods of our lives etc etc. We can grieve for many things, &
Respect your fluctuating energy
Respect your energy… it changes, it ebbs & flows, through the day, the week, the month, the seasons… These days, apparently, we are required to ‘deliver’ to the same standard every day, our ‘best selves’ always to the fore… Well, seriously, what’s human about that?! That’s a machine, surely… So… what if we were just a tad more respectful, & found small ways to
Calling All Business Owners!
Quite a number of my clients are Business Owners or Sole Traders (like me) & I tend to think it’s because we aim to take care of ourselves, because our businesses depends on it… Now, this isn’t always true, sometimes we do crazy things to keep the work coming in… & I can’t pretend that a fortnightly or monthly bodywork session, with an opportunity to
Tiptoeing gently into 2019!
Hi all… Here we go into another year, with a fair bit of hype about what that offers… I read a lovely piece the other day that said ‘ there is nothing magical about January 1st’, which I kinda like! Maybe, it’s being Scottish, that there does seem a sense of ‘magic’ around the end of one year & the beginning of the next, but…
Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!
Clearly, I’m not going to even try & say anything original at this point! Did just want to send good wishes to those who aren’t on my mailing list, so haven’t had my newsletter by post or email. Do hope you’re all well & will manage the balance you need over the break (if you’re having one). It’s a strange time of year, I
Massage gift tokens if you’re living in or visiting Cornwall…
Just a quickie, sorry I’ve been a bit side-swiped by life over the last month or so!! Getting straight to it, if you’re stuck for a gift idea & someone you know loves massages, get in touch & I can organise gift tokens to be sent straight to the recipient, or to you, if you prefer. I am situated right down the bottom of
Massage & your nervous system…
Massage gives your nervous system, your whole being, a chance to say ‘aaahh’, to let go & relax… Of course I’m an advocate of massage, as I see again & again, with clients, how the simple act of just lying down already starts the process, never mind the music (or silence) & the delicious smells you can choose. For some, even my arrival, the
Massage session and/or self care…?
Diving straight in… You ‘inhabit’ your body 24 hours a day, for however long you’ve been alive, & you do what you do & how you do it every minute of every hour of every day… So, you build up ‘patterns of use‘, in the muscles (& in the brain). If I give you a massage, say for 60 minutes, that’s how long I have
