Like the moon, women are complex beings who operate on a 28-day cycle, and, just like the moon, at different points of our cycle we can manage different things.   The Sun – Papa Inti – is the Masculine energy that is all about the DOING, the obvious, the “out there”. The sun “does” all day long by offering light and  providing .   The Feminine moon, on the other hand, is a constant reminder of the importance of our BEING and of living according to our cycle, not against it.  

I spent the day at Moorfields Eye Hospital in the City on Tuesday. As a result of the uveitis I’d had since I was 3 (an associated inflammatory condition of the arthritis), I’ve had to maintain regular appointments my whole life.

In a world obsessed with erasing every fine line and chasing eternal youth, it’s no surprise that Botox has become a household name. Marketed as a quick fix for wrinkles and aging skin, Botox is now used by millions of women—many as young as their 20s—who are being told that “baby Botox” is a harmless preventative. But here’s the truth: Botox is not just a beauty treatment. It’s a neurotoxin. And it’s not the answer to vibrant, healthy aging. What Botox Really Is - Aging Grac

What’s the difference between red light face masks and red light panels?   Well, it turns out, a lot.   You’ve probably seen lots of influencers posting videos of themselves with a red light face mask on recently and, because I have a full body panel, have opted out of having a mask. But I wanted to do some research around whether the masks offer the same benefits and what I found confirmed my intuitive thoughts but was interested, so I thought I’d share that here to help you

You may have heard the term Vagus Nerve being thrown about recently and you might be wondering what it is and why you need to know about it.   The Vagus nerve (not Vegas – that’s a different kind of nerve ) is one of our most important assets when it comes to health and life optimisation, because essentially, it’s what controls and regulates the nervous system, and you know how passionate I am about nervous system regulation!   What is the Vagus Nerve? Our bodies carry trilli

Somatic healing (and its immensely impactful effects) are – finally, thankfully – getting some attention.   Books like  Waking the Tiger ,   The Body Keeps the Score  and  The Emotion Code  were profoundly impactful for my healing, as was the work of  Dr John Sarno , in understanding just how much our bodies hold our emotions and trauma, with that trauma and emotion often metastasising into dis-ease.   Working with somatic healing practitioners has also been something that ha

I really hate the term ‘flu season’. Flu is not a season! Influenza is a virus that, with an adequately supported immune system, will, at worst, leave us feeling pretty crappy for a few days, we may even experience a fever – heaven forbid! – but, assuming we don’t suppress it with fever-reducing medications and other toxic pharmaceuticals, we will be the proud owners of an even stronger immune system afterwards.
