How I lost 12 stone - with Mel Bailey, Mindful Meets #86

Season 5 · Episode 86

Monday, February 10, 2025 • Duration 01:03:49

Today I am joined by a very special and very brave woman, Mel Bailey. She talks to me candidly about the early family experiences which created her issues with food and the damaging eating behaviours that followed. She describes how dieting caused her to gain a large amount of weight over decades of her life and how it was only by turning her back on dieting and seeking psychological and nutritional education that she changed her life and her relationship with food. And it was a BIG change - a loss of 12 stone!

Listen to her amazing story!

Discover Forest Bathing - with Nicola Dickinson, Mindful Meets #81

Season 4 · Episode 79

Sunday, September 22, 2024 • Duration 39:15

This time on the podcast, I am joined by Nicola Dickinson to talk about something which was very new to me - Forest Bathing. Do you need a swimsuit? Actually, you don't! Listen in to discover more about this amazing activity and how it can help you find peace and connection.

Nicola was a beauty therapist for over 20yrs and then brought her own brand of natural hand and nail care to the market. Then she decided that she needed a change, for her mental and physical wellbeing, realising that she had neglected these for far too long.

She needed to get more fresh air, exercise and be with people again, especially her family and not to have the stress of making and selling cosmetics around the world. Then Nicola found Forest Bathing, which ticked all her boxes. She completed the one year's training and hasn't looked back.

Nicola says that almost every aspect of her has changed for the better, her sleep, her diet, how and where she exercises as well as being out in fresh air, as well as her attitude to how she wants to live her life.

She says "It's the best thing I ever did!"

How amazing! Here is where to find Nicola: Forest Bathing in Hampshire with The Forest Bathing Company
