Charlotte Thorpe

“I originally studied Homeopathic Medicine before going on to train as a reflexologist. I have been practicing now for 5 years and am particularly interested in the use of reflexology during pregnancy. I occasionally use homeopathy alongside reflexology treatments.

Reflexology uses the application of pressure to specific areas of the feet and hands to encourage health throughout the whole body. It can be used to treat specific ailments or just as a way to maintain health.”

Appointments are available every Tuesday from 10.00 – 13.30

Taster sessions with Emma Jones – nutritionist

Pulse — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 15:27:42 +0000

“Many people believe that health can be found in fad diets; magic pills from the GP; intense workouts at the gym; or from articles in glossy magazines. These are common approaches to health and yet they so often don’t work.

Achieving true wellbeing involves all levels of your health: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. This is the holistic approach: looking at the whole rather than individual parts.

Every client has individual circumstances and individual needs. Some need help with nutrition. Others benefit from workshops and courses. Some need a combination. But the overall approach is always simple and natural.”

About Emma

Emma Jones’s interest in natural medicine came about when she became ill in 1994. This was a start of an inspiring journey back to health. She realised that being ill was her body’s way of telling her to change her lifestyle.

Since 1996, Emma has trained and worked in natural health and is now an experienced practitioner of naturopathic medicine.

As well as running healthy jones, Emma helped establish one of the first naturopathic training colleges in Dublin and was the founder of the first naturopathic training college in Wales.

Emma also writes a monthly column about health for two magazines (Aura and Ubizy.) Emma has also appeared on BBC Radio Wales as a natural health expert.

Emma’s aim is to encourage people to become conscious of their daily lifestyle choices and to teach people how to achieve health without fad diets, pharmaceuticals and excessive exercise. She believes the closer we come to nature, the closer we come to true wellbeing.

Roasted root vegetable soup

Pulse — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 15:48:16 +0000

Roasted Root Vegetable Soup

Roasting the vegetables gives this soup a wonderful depth of flavour. You can use other vegetables, if you wish, or adapt the quantities depending on what’s in season.

Ingredients (for 4 people)
50ml/2fl oz organic olive oil
1 small organic butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cubed
2 organic carrots, cut into thick rounds
1 large organic parsnip, cubed
1 medium organic swede, cubed
2 organic leeks, thickly sliced
1 organic onion, quartered
3 organic bay leaves
1 teaspoon organic thyme
1 teaspoon organic rosemary
1.2 litres/2 pints organic vegetable stock
salt and freshly ground pepper

Method
1. Preheat oven to 200°C/400°C/Gas 6 – Put olive oil into a large bowl. Add the prepared vegetables and toss until coated in the oil.
2. Spread out the vegetables in a single layer on one large or two small baking sheets. Tuck the bay leaves and sprinkle the thyme and rosemary over the vegetables.
3. Roast the vegetables for about 50 minutes until tender, turning them occasionally to make sure they brown evenly. Remove from the oven and transfer the vegetables to a large saucepan.
4. Pour the stock into the pan and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, season to taste, and then simmer for 10 minutes. Transfer the soup to a food processor/blender (or use a hand blender) and process until thick and smooth.
5. Return the soup to the pan to heat through. Season and garnish with a sprig of fresh thyme or some parsley.

Health Benefits
This nutritious soup is packed with health giving vegetables. Butternut squash is particularly high in beta-carotene and potassium, which is essential for the functioning of the cells, nerves and muscles. Carrots contain a high level of beta-carotene and are effective detoxifiers.
