The Autumn Equinox - by Rita
The Autumn equinox, also called Mabon, is a pagan celebration, originating from the Celts, who once populated Britain and much of North West Europe before the march of the Romans. This druid-led tribe celebrated nature and the progression of the seasons by dividing the year into eight segments, at key turning points, creating eight festivals.
Can Myofascial Release help with depression, fatigue and anxiety?
Most of us have no trouble identifying our five senses. They are after all, the ones we depend on to see, hear, smell, touch and taste our way through life. But hands up who knows their three further senses? Proprioception and Exteroception aside, there is another, hidden sense that is key to mental wellbeing.
Interoception is our ability to have a sense of how we feel inside our bodies at any given moment.

Fertility Treatments at Healing Space
It’s May already! And the days are finally getting longer and brighter. The month of May has always been strongly associated with fertility in England and the surrounding Celtic countries in ancient times. The Mayday Maypole around which young maidens danced with flowers in their hair was seen as an ancient fertility rite. Romans also chose to celebrate this time of year with dancing, wearing flowers and spreading seeds of all kinds. It symbolises fertility of the land, but also that of its people.
Physiotherapist Joins Healing Space
I was particularly interested in recruiting Alice as she has a strong focus on pregnancy and postnatal treatments. At our clinic we pride ourselves in being a center of excellence for all pregnancy and postnatal treatments. Alice is a very welcome addition to our team of experts who can support you during this wonderful time. She joins our team of pregnancy specialists which includes acupuncturists, massage therapists, nutritionists and reflexologists.
In this country sadly the postnatal focus is always on the baby and not the mum. After my first baby the GP just asked if I was ok, I said yes, and that was it.
Western Herbalism - what is it?
Because much of our European herbalism was destroyed by Christianity, it has taken much time, research and love to slowly regain its rightful place as the origin and foundation of modern medicine, our medicinal heritage.

THE HEALING ART OF AROMATHERAPY for digestive condition
Around Christmas time, we tend to travel around visiting friends and family, which can upset the rhythm of our digestive systems. (see Christmas promo at end of blog :) )
As much as Christmas can be fun for some of us, it can also be stressful. Having to handle the two aunts that don’t get along, the old grandad who complains, the shouting (even if cheerful) kids around…or simply the stress of having to work and being far from your family and all by yourself.
There is also all the food factor. Oh yes. We are going to eat & drink more than usual!
In the meantime,
let’s start digging into digestive issues…
Digestive conditions are much more common than we think. Symptoms can vary from diarrhoea and/or constipation, gastric reflux, bloating and gas (which can be very painful). When I talk about digestive conditions, it includes conditions of the digestive tracts and organs all the way from the mouth to the exit (Oesophagus, stomach, intestines small and large etc )
Most people just “accept” living with these symptoms, but there is so much you can do with essential oils to soothe them and even perhaps heal the condition from the root.
We are all so different, and Aromatherapy being considered as a Holistic Therapy, it is important to understand each individual as a whole when it comes to choosing oils to create a blend.
The main question is, would the same essential oil blend work the same way on two different people with the same digestive complaints? To answer that question, I have come to find a connection between Aromatherapy and Ayurveda, because Ayurveda is a great system that really studies a person as a whole.
