Over the years I am often approached as a studio to sell a number of products one being sports drinks. Most gym retailers will also sell them, it's an extra way to make money on top of exercise. However one of my core values is always to educate clients and help people be in the [...]

Are you stuck in rut? Want to lose weight? Get fit? Gain core strength, flexibility and balance? Or perhaps need help with a health condition or back injury? Then maybe you need a good coach? There is no exact blueprint for a good coach, as each coach will have their own strengths and weaknesses. However, [...]

Prolapsed & herniated discs

By |2026-06-29T16:38:41+01:00March 2nd, 2018|Health and Wellbeing|

As the weeks go by I am overwhelmed by telephone enquiries with clients with prolapsed discs.  Back injuries are the most common of all orthopaedic injuries and they happen in gyms and workplaces alot. This is why we assess rather than guess. Throwing clients straight into any sort of class can be detrimental to their back [...]

Fibromyalgia, serotonin & repressed anger – Is there a link?

By |2026-06-29T16:38:51+01:00February 27th, 2018|Health and Wellbeing, Spirituality|

I am raising the question today is there a link between GIT (gastrointestinal tract), serotonin, IBS and repressed anger that could be triggering fibromyalgia. Although there are many possible causes of fibromyalgia, what can be certain is that all of the possible causes are a direct result of a cascade of disturbances and resulting malfunctions. [...]

“Give us our daily bread” – Deuteronomy. Moses describes the promised Land as ‘a land of wheat, barley and vineyards.’ Bread is central to religious rituals. Go into any major supermarket and you will see 68 feet of white bread, wholegrain bread, multi-grain bread, seven-grain bread, rye bread, pumpernickel, sourdough bread, bagels galore, cheese bread, [...]

Uncle Fester, Angry Liver & My Dark Eye Circles

By |2026-06-29T16:40:25+01:00November 15th, 2017|Health and Wellbeing|

 Today I have ‘dark rings or racoon eyes’ - aka Uncle Fester, The Munsters. The liver and the kidneys are the two main organs of detoxification. As most of us will have food and gut intolerances, these will be made worse over the celebration season. It is easy to spot and feel. There are many [...]

Sibo’s top ten christmas survival tips

What on earth is Sibo I thought? On a recent GIT  (Gastrointestinal tract) this word came up. It sounded like a U.F.O was invading my intestines. Sibo stands for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. Most of us have it but ignore the symptoms until they become a disease or illness. As you know I have a [...]

IBS & the depression link – Part 2

You've heard me say: "Stinking poops, stinking thoughts!". What do I mean by this? Did you know that the brain and gut develop from the same part of the human embryo and therefore share many nerve endings and chemical transmitters? This explains why GIT (Gastro, intestinal tract) symptoms result from emotional stimulants. Nearly every chemical that [...]

Depression & the fungus link

When researching the figures for 2017 on depression in the UK. The Office for National statistics could not provide specific statistics, however, the charity 'MIND' was more helpful. Nowhere in my research could I find education on the gut-brain and its key link to depression. As BBC 'Doctor in the house' pioneer Dr.Chattergee pioneers to [...]

Do you have cereal or toast for breakfast?

By |2026-06-29T16:41:56+01:00October 27th, 2017|Health and Wellbeing|

The idea that we need to eat carbs (cereal grains and bread in particular) for breakfast is merely a “programmed idea” that has been put into people’s heads by food manufacturing corporations that have spent literally billions of dollars to “condition” people to think they should eat that way to be healthy. As our work-life [...]
