October often arrives with a gentle reminder to slow down. The days shift, routines get busier, and many people find themselves putting their own wellbeing further and further down the list. Mental Health Month is a good moment to pause and notice how you’re really feeling — and to give yourself permission to take small steps that support your emotional balance. One of those steps can be something as simple as booking a foot care appointment. A moment that belongs to you So m

September has a natural “new start” feeling to it. After August — a month where routines are often more relaxed, especially if you’ve been away on holiday — life begins to settle again. Work rhythms return, schools reopen, and it becomes easier to notice what your body needs as you step back into everyday structure. It’s a great moment to look at your head‑to‑toe wellbeing and bring back a few simple habits that help you feel more comfortable, supported, and in control. Here

August always arrives with a different kind of energy. After my birthday at the end of July, I like to take this month to rest — to enjoy the garden, have a few days out, and move through each day at my own rhythm. Many of you are heading off on holiday too, so it feels like the perfect moment to soften the pace and look after yourself a little more. Even though the clinic is quieter, I still want to leave you with a few simple tips to help you keep your feet and your wellbei

July tends to arrive with a bit of a “summer is here!” feeling. The days are long, the temperatures climb, and when the weather behaves, it’s lovely to sit outside on a warm evening as everything finally cools off. Of course, this is the UK, so we can go from sunshine to showers in minutes, but that’s part of the charm. I recently discovered a Bulgarian tradition called July Morning, where people get up at dawn on the first of July to welcome the sunrise. I loved the idea str

Embracing the Great Outdoors. June is the month when people finally start getting out and about again. The lighter days mean more walking, more gardening, more time in the garden with a cuppa, and more little trips out. It’s lovely to see, but it’s also the time of year when feet start to struggle a bit more. One thing I always remind people is that going barefoot isn’t always the safest option. It feels nice, but it only takes one tiny piece of debris to cause a problem. I r

May is one of those months where everything starts to shift. The weather softens, the days stretch out, and most of us begin spending more time on our feet — in the garden, out walking, or simply enjoying the lighter evenings. With two bank holidays in the month, it’s also a natural pause point to check in with yourself and your foot health before summer really begins. Here are some gentle, practical tips to help you move comfortably and confidently through May. 1. Hydration

A Month of New Beginnings January has its own kind of quiet. It often feels long and slow, as if the year is stretching itself awake after December’s rush. There’s a mixture of hope, tiredness, and the wish to feel more grounded again. For many people, it’s a time to gently reset, take stock, and find steadier footing at their own pace. After the challenges of the last year you may feel that need for pause and renewal. But alongside the difficult moments, there have been brig

The festive season is here! December always seems to arrive quietly — one minute it’s autumn, the next the air has a crisp chill and the evenings draw in fast. The heater hums softly in the cabin, keeping it cosy on the cold days, and even when the weather outside feels heavy, it’s always warm and calm inside. Moo, of course, continues her role as part-time greeter. On dry days she strolls out to say hello to visitors, tail high and proud, before escorting them back down the

Finding Light in the Slower Days November arrives with a different pace — the evenings draw in earlier, mornings feel a little slower, and there’s a natural shift into quieter routines. It’s a time when many of us crave small comforts, whether that’s pulling on warm socks, taking a moment to breathe, or simply finding little things that make the darker days feel a bit softer. At the clinic, I always notice how this month invites gentleness. People come in ready for calm, for

When Life Throws You a Curveball One Monday morning, I woke up unable to take weight on my leg, making even sitting or standing excruciating. Despite this there was a busy clinic day ahead — the show had to go on. I treated clients while standing more than usual, used Copaiba for its calming qualities, applied Deep Blue Rub, and wore a Freedom SuperPatch. This experience taught me just how interconnected our bodies are: my feet, knees, and even balance were affected. On top o
