Autumn is always a busy time of year. Hopefully everyone has enjoyed all the sunshine this summer. Then we have the start of a school term and back to work with all the routines that involves. Before we get into all the celebrations- like Christmas should we think about how we can look after ourselves so that we are healthy and strong and can enjoy all this season has to offer.
We offer a variety of treatments, whether you are looking for a massage to ease tired muscles, a counselling session to work through anything that is troubling you , a colonic to ease your digestion, life coaching to help you achieve your goals or maybe some skincare treatments to help you feel your best for the upcoming celebrations.
CHRISTMAS IS COMING
If you would like to treat your loved one this Christmas why not give them a gift voucher for one of our treatments. Please visit our website to learn more about the therapists/ treatments available.

Kerry Day
I’m Kerry, a psychotherapeutic counsellor based in Cornwall, offering an integrative approach grounded in my training in person-centred and psychodynamic therapy. Alongside more traditional talking therapy, I draw on intuition, inner symbolism and somatic (body-based) approaches to explore what may be happening beneath the surface.
I work with the connections between our thoughts, emotions, bodies and life experiences, and have supported people in changing longstanding patterns, developing a different relationship with their bodies and, at times, experiencing a reduction or shift in physical pain. My work is about creating a space for curiosity, depth and compassion, helping people explore what is asking to be understood and find new ways forward.

How do we cope with the Climate Crisis?
“Until the late twentieth century, every generation throughout history lived with the tacit certainty that there would be generations to follow. Each assumed, without questioning, that its children and children’s children would walk the same Earth, under the same sky. Hardships, failures, and personal death were encompassed in that vaster assurance of continuity. That certainty is now lost to us, whatever our politics. That loss, unmeasured and immeasurable, is the pivotal psychological reality of our time.” Joanna Macy
This statement has long had a profound influence on my work. As a therapist and healer I make the assumption that climate anxiety is an underlying reality for all of us, whether we are conscious of it or not. Undeniable in the collective unconscious, it is of course rising in awareness, and becoming more apparent and recognised,.
What to do? Some, many of us are driven to action. And, to quote Joanna Macy again:
‘The most radical thing any of us can do at this time is to be fully present to what is happening in the world’. The grief is immeasurable, that our species may be among those to disappear in the mass extinction event already underway.
So, too, limitless, is our capacity for joy and gratitude. Can we embrace both extremes of these human faculties? There’s the rub…. Kahlil Gibran said:
Your joy is your sorrow unmasked.
And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears.
And how else can it be?
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.
What is our delight? Henry David Thoreau the nature writer said: ‘Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads’.
And Cicero said: ‘“Gratitude is the parent of all virtues.”
“When people in great numbers choose to practice, integrate, and embody gratitude, the cumulative force that is generated can help create the kind of world we all hope for and desire, for ourselves and for future generations. Of all the universal themes that have been transmitted through perennial wisdom, the expression of gratitude continues to be the glue that consistently holds society and relationships together.” Angeles Arrien
To finish with yet another quotation – I would apologise, but others have put things so much better than I can – from E.F. Schumacher’s Small is Beautiful, published in 1973!
“Everywhere people ask: ‘what can I actually do?’ The answer is as simple as it is disconcerting: we can, each of us, put our inner house in order. The guidance we need for this work cannot be found in science or technology, the value of which utterly depends on the ends they serve; but it can still be found in the traditional wisdom of mankind.”
To which I would add, we cannot do it alone….
