Valuable resources

These are organisations/individuals that my students/myself have used and have proved really valuable.  As many students ask me about these matters I have given the contact information below but I can not accept any personal responsibility for any outcomes or results  as the decision to use these organisations/individuals is made entirely at the student’s own risk.

Please seek the advice of your own doctor first if you have any concerns.

Alexander Technique
Gail Clarke, South Petherton, 01460 242 549.  Gail teaches Alexander Technique to students & teachers & is highly experienced.

DVD’s, Pilates
Lynn Robinson is the clearest & safest instructor I have found on DVD.  I would not recommend any of the other DVD’s, however I would not recommend learning Pilates via a DVD as you will not receive any correction & whilst looking at the screen your spine will be automatically out of the necessary alignment to get the benefit of targeting the correct muscle groups & you can injure yourself.

Honeybuns
the most delicious and yet healthy treats.  Honeybuns company in Holwell Tel: 01963 23597 make cookies, tray bakes, mini cakes & cake mixes.  All utterly mouth-watering! Nothing nasty additive wise or artificial anywhere.  Products include range of gluten free & dairy free goodies. You can’t believe how good their treats taste. Products can be frozen. Packaging recyclable. See their site www.honeybuns.co.uk for more information or call them & arrange a tasting!

Weight Loss
There is a fantastic book worth reading called ‘Belly Fat to Belly Flat’ by Dr C W Randolph & Genie James for the hard to shift final pounds.  You get to eat a lot of food & it works as it approaches the matter from the aspect of hormonal balance so it is achievable regardless of your age!!!! You can buy it in Cerres Health shop in Yeovil or online. I have followed it and so have various students who approached it with an open mind & it delivers.  It additionally dramatically improves women’s monthly cycles & symptoms.  Hard to believe I know…

Naturopathic Vet
Jane, Dorchester, 077932 14845   01305 871174. I was surprised to find out that Naturopathic Vets are obliged to be conventionally qualified before they go on to make further studies in Naturopathic fields so they can be more highly qualified than a standard vet.  This lady saved me lots of money in unnecessary medication & exploratory and invasive tests previously prescribed & she helped my rabbit where other conventional vets had failed.
