Over time I have debated on all the things I hope to blog about, but now, here I am wondering what best to start with! So, I am thinking why not start with me..and my journey into health and wellbeing.
I have been a beauty therapist for 21 years now (wow..how did that happen?!) then along the way I became drawn to all things alternative/complementary, so began adding various therapies such as Indian head massage, hot stones, reiki and much more to my skills, as well as partaking in workshops for crystals, E.F.T, dowsing etc. As time went by, I became more aware of 'being healthy from the inside out' and I was introduced to a lady many years ago during my time as a lecturer, through the National Wildflower Centre, who is a beekeeper and apitherapist, Yvonne Matthews, aka 'Vonnybee'. She was developing a range of products from the beehive for your health and wellbeing and coincidentally I then lost my voice, and as a lecturer that proved to be difficult!
Fast forward 6 months and a number of visits to a speech therapist to get my vocal chords to work again, then being hit with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome due to the virus which hit my body from the stress of my job..I began taking Bee Pollen and Propolis from the Vonnybee range as well as 2 bottles of the Bach Flower Remedy 'Oak' for fatigue/excessive tiredness etc. The specialists of CFS would not admit that the natural remedies were behind helping me back to good health, but I know they did, as I am sure they did really! I have to say it was a relief to finally get my voice back and feel 'normal' again. Still to this day, I take natural remedies and urge everyone to join me.
