Flower power

Posted on by

It’s all about flowers this Sunday, from the perils of pollen for hayfever sufferers to the positive healing powers of flower essences…

Although the weather may be pretty frightful right now, there’s no getting away from the fact that spring is here. And, beautiful as they may be to look at, the blossoms and bright yellow fields of rape it brings come at a price for many of us as we find ourselves facing days or weeks of sniffly misery!

If that sounds familiar, you’ll want to hear what Fiona has to say about the ways of reducing the impact of so much pollen in the air – as she will explain, there are lots of choices beyond antihistamines.

In the second hour of the show, the Girls Around Town will be joined by Wendy Jackson – like Fiona, she’s a homeopath but she’ll be sharing her expertise in another field of natural remedies: Australian Bush Flower Essences.

Tune in or listen online between 10am and 12 noon to find out about the role these gentle but powerful flower-based essences play in bringing about healing on a mental, emotional, spiritual and physical level.

Great expectations

As we wait – and wait – for spring to come (and actually stick around!), it’s a very expectant time of year right now.

So what could be better than to have Girls Around Town guests who work with women who are (or have been) expecting on this week’s show?

In the studio between 10am and 12 noon on Sunday, Fiona and Sue will be meeting Janey Harvey and Katie Greenfield, both very experienced yoga teachers.  Janey, who specialises in yoga for pregnancy, has been running classes in Newark for over 12 years and will be talking in the first hour about how she helps mums prepare for the big day with gentle yoga.

Then it’s over to Katie for the second hour of the show. Well-known in Newark for her baby yoga classes, she’s also passionate about postnatal yoga, for mums who have recently had a baby. More than just a nice way to relax, this is about helping your body adjust to and recover from the massive changes that birth brings with it – so, if your pelvic floor is a distant memory, this could be just what you need!

Find out more about yoga for pregnancy with Janey here and visit Katie’s website for details of new classes starting next month.

Tune in or listen online on Sunday morning to hear what Janey and Katie have to say and, from Fiona,  find out how homeopathy can also help during pregnancy and birth, whether for health niggles like indigestion or keeping energy levels up during labour. Now breathe…

Having tummy troubles? Digestive system maybe not quite up to scratch right now?

And with Valentine’s Day just around the corner, Fiona will be taking a look at what it means to love yourself. She’s not just talking about those boxes of chocolates and flowers but how to accept the gift of compliments…
