Health and Wellness

As I write this post, it’s 30 degrees inside my office and 36 degrees outside. Last night, temperatures didn’t drop much below 25. I know. I was awake for most of it! For my little corner of the world here in temperate England, it’s quite a struggle, unless you’re a high temperature lover. Which, sadly,…

Several of my clients have reported increased anxiety and overwhelm recently, in light of the Ukraine / Russian conflict. Such heartbreaking stories of tragedy can bring many big emotions to the surface. From sadness and despair to shock and disbelief to helplessness to anger and rage. And there’s exhaustion too. We’re just getting used to…

They are a great way to get vitamins and…

Every year, researchers compile the World Happiness Report, which invites governments to give more importance to happiness and well-being. The report ranks global happiness in countries around the world. This year the UK fell 5 places from 13th to 18th. How to Increase Happiness Many people, when contacting me, tell me they’re not happy. My…

Let’s get real. Some things we have to do in life really suck. And when faced with them, motivation is non existent while procrastination is at an all-time high! I hate doing my accounting books at the end of each month – that’s pretty common in small business owners, unless you love balancing numbers. I…

The other month I shared an updated guide on which bread you could eat on a candida diet. Today I’m back with some ideas for crackers and crispbreads. Yeast free crackers make useful snacks and you can keep some in your desk drawer for when you feel peckish. It’s not advisable to eat a lot…

Earlier this year I was contacted by Lauren Malone, who runs Lemon Tree Coaching and Development. She asked me to run an EFT workshop. Lauren is author of the book “The Expecting Entrepreneur: Growing your business while growing your baby” (purchase your copy here) and is a certified master practitioner in NLP coaching and hypnosis.…
