Welcome to Lavender Fields Journal. From time to time I will update you on life coaching activities you can try at home; workshops I will be running and fayres that you can come to and meet me in person. 

Please check out the pages in my journal listed to the right of the day to day journal. Look for Inspiration or learn how to use Luscious Lavender; find out how I can help families or try a new book highlighted in the Book Group. In products you can find out about some of the colour therapy related products I have such as the bracelets and Findhorn Flower Essences. I will endeavor to signpost you to interesting web sites in Related Web Sites and check out my mission and philosophy on that relevant page. 

Pampering Parties

The latest service I have on offer for those who like a girlie night in but want to do something completely different is a pampering party. The evening would include an hours worth of inspiring and fun activities aimed at making the participants feel really good about themselves combined with a hand, face or foot massage for each participant.

So book a date, invite a few friends (minimum 8 plus the hostess), add some delicious drinks and nibbles, and enjoy a new, unique evening that leaves you feeling inspired, empowered and relaxed. Choose from the following topics (more to come)

Become the Goddess you are

Attracting Abundance and Prosperity

Cost is £15 per participant. However the hostess goes free. Dates are going fast so email  or ring to book yours.

British Summer Time is here

The clocks finally go forward again this coming sunday (30th March); days will get longer, temperatures will increase and sunlight get stronger. This is good news for most people living in the UK especially here up north. Winter can have devastating effects on our bodies. Many of us might suffer from SADs and generally we all have less energy, strength and mobility as our vitamin D levels drop. Vitamin D is a magical vitamin that cannot really be had from food because the best form is made in our own skin when we go out into the sunlight.

So as the days get longer and the sun brighter it is important to get out into the sun  to banish SADs and build up vitamin D levels. “BUT” I hear you say! “Going out into the sun causes melanomas (skin cancers) so we need to use heavy duty sun block. Will the vitamin D still get made if we use sun block”? Unfortunately the answer is no. We need to have our skin exposed to real unadulterated sunlight. But that doesn’t mean putting our skin in danger. We only need to spend around 10 minutes a day exposed to sunlight to make lots of vitamin D - not enough to damage our skin. So as the sun gets stronger and the days longer don’t forget to top up your vitamin D levels and so improve your moods and wellbeing, mobility, strength and energy.

How to spend your 10 minutes in the sun? Try having breakfast in the garden; go for a brisk walk or run; do a bit of gardening or drawing in the garden; try some deep breathing, Tai Chi or Yoga. Whatever you choose to do keep as much of your skin bare as you dare without upsetting the neighbours. Step into the sunny magic.
