    I have been experimenting recently with juicing – I think juicing is fabulous in that it is very good for you,  and an incredible way of getting loads of vitamin, minerals and phytonutrients into the body 🙂 … but … it take a long time to prepare – and a lot of fruit and veg – to produce quite a […]

    I received this enthusiastic e-mail from Elizabeth after she came to see me for a colonic last week: “Everything is great thank you. My bowel function is much improved. Since Friday, I’ve been to the loo everyday (except Sunday) usually more than once. I have no bloating either, which was probably my number one ‘gripe’ (!) I have indeed brought […]

    Ten days ago I had the most powerful demonstration of how important it is to have plenty of those “good bacteria” we hear about on probiotic ads… I had had problems with a tooth and my dentist recommended a seven day course of antibiotics. Being a colonic therapist I knew both that this was not going to do my gut […]

    Yesterday I ate too much for lunch – this is not typical – but I was trying to finish stuff off before we go away… And last night I pondered … as the full impact of my overeating came back to haunt me – I just thought, “That’s fine – all I have to do it not eat much for […]

     “Did you know that every third American would prefer to avoid gluten altogether in their diet? The same tendency is sweeping through Europe. The number of people who have noticed that less gluten in their food improves their digestion, performance and wellbeing is rising. Unexplained symptoms disappear, digestion problems abate and aching joints are soothed. And recent research shows that […]

    My last post seems to have stirred things up – it has provoked a response – and as I have sat and pondered, it has led me to feel that I made an error of judgment in choosing to write what I did – cardinal rules are not made to be broken. What has been objected to – quite rightly […]

    In 2011 I started training in Journey work – an amazing therapeutic process which takes one deep inside one’s unconscious and uncovers emotions, thoughts, beliefs that are holding one back – and releases them… It is an extraordinary and wonderful thing… but as I lay in the bath this morning and thought of often the most transformational part of the […]

    I have been musing today over conversations that I’ve had with people this week,  and where it has led me to is this… Two people have spoken to me this week about their first hand experience of working alongside billionaires and a window into the life style of someone with ludicrous amounts of money – the endless choice – not […]

    I’ve been pondering various types of looking… Yesterday I went out with my closest friend for our annual day out at East Ruston Old Vicarage garden. Another admission – looking round the plants for sale is our favourite bit – then tea and cake – and then… looking round the garden… This doesn’t mean that we don’t adore looking round […]

    I was pondering quality versus quantity a few posts ago … and today I am wondering the wisdom of deciding to write a daily blog… One of Tom’s favourite true stories is how – in the good old days – the BBC would sometimes decide that nothing newsworthy had happened and so the BBC news reader would say, “There is […]
