You may recall that Jen and I went to the Therapy Expo a couple of months ago, and one of things we came away with were a couple of tools to help look after our hands, and in particular, our thumbs. The tools in question are called Wavestones and they are made from White Jade. They are heated gently in…
Happy New Year! Welcome to 2024… and the beginning of the fifth year I have been writing these blogs, and the fifth year some of you have been reading them and I am already wondering, maybe like you, what changes have you made from reading them and if you haven’t quite reached that point of making changes, whether this year…

This is the only massage membership in Hinckley that we know about, and we are reopening the doors to it once more for its fourth successful year.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for supporting Jen since she started with me at Astral Fitness last year. The time has simply flown by and Jen has flourished, gaining some brilliant reviews along the way and helping people resolve issues that they thought they would probably have to put up with for a very long…
Did you know that you need 5 to 15 minutes of sunlight a day in the summertime to enjoy the boosting benefits of vitamin D? The sun needs to penetrate your skin, and the amount of skin needed is just that of your face, hands, and arms. Which can be a little tricky during the winter when we are cossetted…
