Chicken thighs are inexpensive, tasty and perfect for the slow cooker. M&S have reasonably priced, high welfare slow reared chicken (I dread to think how other chickens are reared before they end up on the shelves!). I get the thighs with the bones in and keep them in through the cooking process to get the […]

The fundamentals of your health…
With your health, how much attention do you give to the fundamentals? Know your values, drink sufficient fluids to hydrate, eat nourishing food, breathe well, and move your body multiple times a day… Then build from there… Magic pills & speedy results sound sexy… But they don’t last (if they even work)… If you make sustainable lifestyle […]
Have you lost connection to yourself?
Here is a question: have you lost connection to your old self? When speaking to them about how I can help, I often hear this from women. They have been mums, carers, or careerwomen for so long that they have stopped focusing on themselves. They may have developed a health condition or experienced a physical […]
Mindset Matters…
I was talking at a holistic fayre on Sunday about my 5 pillars of healing: Know your values, hydrate properly, connect to your breath, move your body, and love your lymph. Someone asked me, what do you do if you are not even ready for those steps, if they feel too far out of your […]
Are you trying to do too many things and getting nothing done?
How are you today? With Monday’s email going out on Tuesday afternoon, you will get a hint of where I am at this week… The to do list keeps growing and I just don’t seem to be getting things ticked off! As a small business I am pretty much everything (apart from the tech things […]
My 5 Pillars for Body & Mind Reset
Living with chronic illness can be a rollercoaster, and when you end up in a flare, you can feel lost, scared, helpless, vulnerable, pissed off, angry, and out of control, like your freedom and independence have been snatched from you. It’s awful to feel that way. Since 2017, I have been re-evaluating how I get […]
Do you know how to reduce chronic inflammation?
This week is Crohn’s & Colitis Awareness Week. When I was diagnosed with Crohn’s in 2017, I went on a deep dive to work out why and how this could have happened to me. In my friend group, I was known as ‘fitness Jen’, and everyone (including me) thought I was fit and healthy… What […]
Are you losing control in this busy season?
So many people I speak to talk about the madness of December and how they ‘just have no time’, and they are rushed and pushed all over the place with many, many commitments. They are stretched to breaking point… Is this you? Are you saying yes to everything, even if you really don’t want to […]
A year from now you will wish you started today
If only I had (enter whatever habit you are procrastinating on here) last year… I would be so much further ahead… I feel conflicted writing that first sentence because I believe everything happens at the right time, and we need to be in enough pain to push us in another direction… BUT… most of us […]
Breast care through nutrition
Hello, I did a podcast that I released the other day about breast health and nutrition. There are simple things we can do to improve our health that reduce the risk of breast cancer, or if in the unfortunate instance, you get a diagnosis, improve the chances of a better outcome. You can watch the […]
Is it time for you to escape?
The other week I hosted the first Half-Day Escape as a private event for the Glasglow Girls Club. We opened the session with homemade chair tea… Which was delicious, even if I do say so myself… We did a mini Love Your Lymph workshop, where the girls all left with a daily routine to follow to […]
Do you need to escape?
Hello, I struggle to rest and relax in my own home… It’s where I work, so my mind constantly thinks about what needs to be done, what services I can offer, and what’s next… It’s constant and difficult to switch off from. I need to escape my house to recharge… Do you, like me find it […]
Resting!?!? How ‘good’ are you at it?
I am passionate about finding different ways to help us relax, rest, recharge and quiet the mind… These are all things that I struggled with for a long time. I have had several conversations over the last couple of weeks about resting… How ‘good’ are you at it? What is resting? Resting typically refers to […]

How do you speak to yourself? Your body is listening…
I was recently reminded about Dr Emoto’s water experiment, where he had batches of water exposed to different words. He then froze the water and looked at its structure… One batch of water, angry, hurtful words were used. In another batch, words of love and kindness were used. When he looked at the molecular structure […]
Supporting yourself through menopause
A few weeks ago now I did a talk at a holistic fayre about managing menopause. I got interested in menopause because 1. I am a woman and we are all going to go through it at some point. 2. I live with a chronic health issue that’s driven by inflammation – and most if not […]
Feeling Unbalanced?
I have been feeling scattered, unbalanced and anxious. I also have been noticing my joints have been clicking, I have fast and loose bowel movements, gas and a few other things. Ayurveda (sister science of Yoga) identifies this as a Vata imbalance. Consuming grounding foods – root veg with herbs. My dinner tonight : roast […]
