I read an article in The Times a while ago (‘Could Scientists really stop the menopause?’ by John Naish, 14th July) which spoke about two new techniques that could apparently halt and even reverse the menopause. There are very good scientific and medical reasons for both treatments e.g. premature menopause brought on by cancer or […]
How healthy is your abdomen? Is it stress free and happy, or is there tension, tightness and restriction hiding in the nether regions?!! The other day I gave a new client an ‘Amno Fu’ treatment (abdominal massage), and it reminded me to do the same as it’s a treatment thats definitely top of my list […]
Baby Roulette - Rachel Watson This is an interesting and what can only be termed as a ‘lighter’ read for anyone who hasn’t, as yet, entered the world of IVF but are about to, or for those that have and can relate enormously to the experiences, or for those who will never experience such a scenario […]
I’ve just read the following article in BioNews informing us on the latest statistics for IVF in 2010 compared to 2009….

I have always suffered from monthly ‘breast tenderness’ but like many women I was simply unaware that repeated breast pain or tenderness is a ‘real’ condition known medically as Mastalgia – it literally means ‘pain in the region of the breast’ and is divided into two types, Cyclical or Non-Cyclical. Cyclical Mastalgia relates to the […]
Our bodies are wonderfully intrinsic and complex, yet we seemingly know little about them, we only find out how it works when it becomes broken or damaged or in need of repair.

For a larger number of 30 somethings, it can be a roller-coaster of cycle monitoring, tests, more tests and procedural failures, and for others, it just doesn’t happen… You would think therefore, that when you finally fall pregnant you would […]
Do I or don’t I? Comment – “Complementary Therapists recommend that you should cut out caffeine altogether when trying to conceive as it can reduce your changes of fertility” (there is also some evidence to say that it can increase the risk of miscarriage).
