The fellowship was in recognition of my sustained contribution to complementary medicine, teaching, scholarship and practice.  After receiving the fellowship I thought hard about the word recognition and its importance within the compendium of complementary medicine and therapeutic practice.  Recognition […]

Massage at The Royal Free Hospital

By Jennie | Published: July 31, 2013

Back in March of this year I met an extraordinary man. A very straightforward and modest man – but one with great vision and determination. His name is Keith Hunt. I’d heard about him, initially, as he’d just received an MBE in the 2013 New Year Honours List – for services to Complementary Therapy. And […]

Don’t you just love The Olympics?

By Jennie | Published: August 3, 2012

I just love seeing people excel at something they love doing. So proud of Team GB and their fab medal haul. And it’s even more exciting when someone wins an unexpected medal – like the men’s gymnastics team or the female judo athlete I have to admit I’m not a huge sports fan, and I […]

Every cloud has a silver lining

By Jennie | Published: July 9, 2012

Out of adversity comes joy.  A bet placed in 2003 by Nick Newlife, from Oxfordshire, made a wager of £1,520, at odds of 66/1, that Roger Federer would win seven Wimbledon titles by 2019. Mr Newlife died in 2009 but left the betting slip to Oxfam in his will. Federer’s defeat of Andy Murray in the […]

Trending sports injuries – tennis players’ shoulder

By Jennie | Published: July 5, 2012

Who’d have thought it? We’re in the second week of Wimbledon and my 3 new clients this week have all presented with shoulder injuries.

The Health Halo…eating “healthy” foods can make you fat!

By Jennie | Published: June 30, 2012

Much to my chagrin, the 3rd & final episode of “The Men who made us Fat” series – exploring “healthy foods” – was postponed because of the tennis and is now scheduled for transmission on Thursday 12th July.  But, to keep us waiting with bated breath, the BBC have released a short clip. Of course, […]

By Jennie | Published: June 29, 2012

I was expecting to write about the final episode of “The Men who made us Fat” – but a phenomenal tennis battle that saw Nadal knocked out of Wimbledon took over BBC2 yesterday evening. Watching those two super fit 26 year old athletes’ pound a ball back & forth at each other for over 4 […]

By Jennie | Published: June 27, 2012

Having a massage from a loved one is great, but it’s tough to compete with the hands of a professional. A good massage therapist can make you feel like a new person.

What happens to your body when you’re overweight?

By Jennie | Published: June 23, 2012

It has been established unequivocally that larger meal portions, grazing between meals and eating fast foods full of fat, sugar and salt automatically leads to weight gain.
