CONTRAST THERAPY WORKSHOPS

There comes a moment in every sauna when you notice the first bead of sweat. For most of us, it's simply a sign that we're getting hot. We reach for a towel without giving it a second thought. But, what if sweating is one of the cleverest things we've ever evolved to do? The more I learn about human physiology, the more fascinated I become. Every day, without us giving it a second thought, millions of tiny adjustments are taking place to keep us alive and well. We heal, adapt

I love it when research confirms something I've always felt to be true. A recent report from Our Future Health, based on information shared by almost two million people, found that the South West is the most physically active region in the UK, with more than 57% of participants meeting the NHS recommendations for physical activity. As someone who grew up in Devon and now lives and works in Gloucestershire, that didn't surprise me at all. We're incredibly lucky to be surrounde

After spending four days in Galway, Ireland, attending Patrick McKeown ’s Advanced Oxygen Advantage Instructor course, I returned with more than just new skills. I came back with practical tools that have already eased my lifelong stuffy nose and exercise-induced asthma. More importantly, I gained knowledge to help children d

There’s something uniquely nourishing about stepping into a sauna. The soft heat, the stillness, the quiet invitation to slow down - it feels like a deep exhale for both body and mind. For many women, sauna therapy is becoming a simple, grounding way to support hormonal health and overall wellbeing. Hormones are incredibly responsive to how safe and supported the body feels. When we’re constantly on the go, the stress hormone cortisol can remain elevated for long periods, whi

If you’ve ever felt like your energy changed after 40 — or noticed that the things that used to work (fasting, exercise, or even a full night’s sleep) suddenly don’t — you’re not alone. There’s real science behind these shifts, and the key may lie in how estrogen interacts with the tiny energy factories inside your cells: your mitochondria. Let's take a look at the role of estrogen on the whole body, and how contrast therapy can support you through perimenopause and menopause
