Staying healthy should be a lifestyle choice, not an oc

Reflexology and Healthy Ageing

You might be wondering why I want to talk about healthy ageing. Well, the number of people reaching the age of 100 or older has increased by 73% in the last decade. Better healthcare has resulted in a world population that is living longer, but not necessarily healthier. As we age, we often think inevitable aches and pains are part of growing old, but it doesn’t have to be this way. As therapist’s, we see older clients in our practices, and as 1 in 5 is expected to hit their

Top 10 tips to Detox your Home

Spring is a great time of year, the sun is shining, the days are getting warmer and longer, and we seem to have more energy. Lots of us use this energy to detox our bodies, but it’s also a perfect time to detox our homes too.

Earth Day

Saturday 22nd April is Earth day – this in an annual event to raise awareness and promote protection of the environment, so I wanted to spend some time considering how we can all take more care of our planet.
