Pregnancy and Post natal massage

Pre natal massage. pre natal massage is specifically tailored to provide relaxation, space and connection between mother and baby. It is beneficial to relieve aches and pains that are specific to pregnancy, as your body changes and grows to accommodate your baby.

Post natal massage. With a new baby to care for and nurture it can be hard to find some previous time to yourself, but keeping yourself healthy and happy is even more important now. As a new mum, your focus and energy is mainly all on your baby . Taking an hour or 90 minutes out to consider and focus in on your needs both physically and mentally can be restorative and much needed time out for yourself.

Massage can be book with Clare via the Ayurvedic Massage page on the website.

My sessions with Clare have made me feel more positive about my body again. Clare paid attention to every single detail to help with all my particular issues (back, stomach muscle separation and pelvic instability after pregnancy). I started to see improvements after just a couple of sessions.

With these freezing temperatures it's safe to say that #soupseason is here, so we're sharing another delicious, nourishing recipe to help boost your immunity and keep you warm this #winter. This recipe uses an organic chicken carcass, or whatever organic meat or fish bones you have, so it’s a brilliant way to get the most of out of those Winter roasts. We’ve also got suggestions for a #Vegan option which we’ll share below ⬇It's best to simmer the broth at a low temperature for at least 6-8 hours, but preparation time is minimal. Don’t be put off by the cooking time, it’s worth it. This broth can also be used as the basis of soups, as well as rice dishes like risotto or pilaf. And if you’re not going to use it straight away, you can store it in the freezer for a couple of months.Nourishing Bone Broth - Ingredients:◾ Organic chicken carcass or other organic meat or fish bones.◾ 2 tsp coriander seeds◾ 1tsp fenugreek seeds◾ 4-5 crushed Long peppercorns (pippali) if available, or 1 tsp black peppercorns ◾ A thumb sized piece of ginger, sliced◾ Enough water to cover the bones completely◾ 3-4 Garlic cloves◾ A few sticks of celery◾ 1 onion roughly choppedThe How To:◾ Add all the ingredients to a pot and simmer on a very low heat for 6-8 hours(Alternatively you can use a slow cooker, cook on the lowest setting for about 8 hours)◾ Strain through a muslin◾ This can be used as the base for soups or stews or drunk on its own◾ Tastes extra great with some fresh ginger, lime juice and a small handful of coriander leavesVegan Option:◾ You could try making a vegan broth by using sea vegetables with the above ingredients◾ I like to use a few strips of sea kelp (kombu)◾ This doesn’t take as long to make◾ Add all the ingredients to a pot or slow cooker and simmer for an hour or so◾ Strain and use as the base for a light nourishing soupFull recipe at the link below ⬇lotushealthandfitness.co.uk/winter-recipes-to-balance-the-doshas-nourishing-bone-broth/ ...
