Foraging for wild food 🌿

I love this time of year. The beautiful intensity of autumn colours and the abundance of wild food around us.

It’s an opportunity to connect with the season and gain pleasure and satisfaction from foraging and stocking up your store cupboards.

I made Rowan jelly for the first time. It can be spooned onto toast, eaten with venison or goats cheese. It’s packed with vitamin A and vitamin C.

I also made blackcurrant and blackberry jams, both intense in flavour and vitamins. Yesterday, I picked lots of sloes to make Sloe gin ready for Christmas.

If you’ve never foraged for wild food before, I highly recommend it and there’s still plenty of time to get out there and connect with nature 🍃🍂

I was lucky enough to visit the breathtaking inner Hebridean,Isle of Mull with its stunning coastline with amazing wildlife from the Golden Eagle,abundance of seals,seabirds and otters.Although the weather was mixed ,it’s still a beautiful perfect escape.I visited the Isle of Iona with its famous Monastery and the Isle of Staffa by boat,which is a geological wonder and home to hundreds of puffins.I highly recommend it if you want peace,calm and nature😊

Irene Cooke recommends Varga Therapy: "I have recently had one of Nichola’s Ayurvedic treatments namely an Indian Head Massage. This was a very relaxing experience . I look forward to sampling further treatment in this field. Nichola is a excellent therapist whom I have known for many years and would recommend her highly."

The Hindu festival of Holi started in India but is now celebrated around the world.
It is known as the festival of love, colours and spring and involves people throwing coloured powder and water at each other.
The two-day festival also celebrates the Hindu god Krishna and the legend of Holika and Prahlad.I was privileged enough to celebrate this wonderful festival this time last year.

Having qualified as a beauty therapist in 1988, I soon moved over into the field of complimentary therapy; gaining qualifications in Aromatherapy, Reiki, Reflexology and Shiatsu.

I base my practice on an holistic, nurturing approach, taking all the aspect of a client’s physical and emotional health. Through these treatments, I aim to achieve a positive feeling of wellbeing for my clients. In order to support this, I use only natural, organic and ethically sourced products, wherever possible.

I still feel as passionate about my practice as when I first started, and continue to discover more about the holistic path as my journey continues.

I see myself as a “facilitator”, helping people to cope with the stresses of the world, allowing them to live healthier, calmer and more balanced lifestyles. Through the clients’ needs I enable them to find harmony and balance, without which we cannot find inner peace and happiness.

Blessings to all🙏
