Live-in care offers a compassionate alternative, allowing people to stay in the comfort of their own homes while receiving the support they need.  One Kent-based business has been pioneering this approach for over 60 years. Consultus Care & Nursing has grown from humble beginnings into the UK’s largest independent, family-run live-in care provider. In this article, we’ll explore their remarkable story and the benefits of live-in care - because when the time comes, knowing your

How Red Light Therapy Can Help with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) Dr. Jennifer Ellen Hamer has been a valued client of ours since we opened our doors in 2017. Her journey has been nothing short of remarkable – rebuilding her life after overcoming an eating disorder and embracing alternative and holistic treatments to support her wellbeing.

Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder affects 1 in 20 women, yet

Originally published and authored by Cryojuvenate. Fat Freezing vs. Slimming & Fat Dissolving Injections – Which is Right for You The pursuit of weight loss has always sparked debate, but few topics are as contentious as the rise of certain medical treatments being repurposed for shedding pounds.

  We’ve been doing this long enough to know that behind every woman-led health company, there’s a story worth hearing. Often, when someone is drawn to a particular calling, there’s a compelling reason behind it. That’s one of the reasons we love working closely with small business owners - their story and their "why" is what fuels their passion every day. This was no different when we met Samantha Goddard, a former professional dancer turned Rapid Transformational Therapist and Advanced Clinical Hypnotherapist. While the world of dance brings immense joy and creativity, Sam has experienced its darker, more competitive side, which can

By Simon Lee, Founder of Unlimited Courage   As we slide headlong into a moral degradation, where our women and children become more unsafe by the day, we have to ask ourselves as men, how bad will it get before we play an active role in leading from example?
