We’ve all probably heard the saying ‘laughter is the best medicine’ and the Irish proverb ‘a good laugh and a long sleep are the two best cures for anything’. As we get older though we tend to laugh less as we get caught up in the serious business of life.  Just think of how often […]

9 simple morning rituals to achieve a healthy, happy, glow for the day

My mum used to always say I was the biggest dilly dallier (aka time waster) in the morning.  I don’t know how I managed it, but no matter how early I got up, time used to slip away from me without realising, resulting in me just about making it to school on time.  Still to […]

Infused Water Inspirations

A Healthy Happy Glow

One of my very first blog posts was about the benefits of drinking more water and it’s always one of the first things I get clients to do when I start working with them. However, it’s something I personally struggle with.  I’m a cold creature and find plain old cold water really hard to drink […]

How Meditation Can Help You Get A Healthy Happy Glow

How Meditation Can Help You Get a Healthy Happy Glow

As a kid I was always a worrier and I believe it’s probably one of the (probably many) reasons I developed IBS and eventually IBD problems.  I didn’t realise it at the time but looking back I can clearly see that I totally internalised stress and worries which would result in awful stomach problems (spasms, […]
