You’ve got the look*
I’m the kind of person who gets asked if I’m vegetarian. All the time. I seem to have ‘the look’ – you know the one; the vegetarian look. (Well, actually, I think that I have ‘the energy’, and this is […]
DawnMeredithDavies
As an holistic physiotherapist, Dawn has spent a lifetime incorporating the observations about the body and being, movement and natural health, into her professional practice and her life.
Having practiced yoga for over 15 years, she incorporates this with hands-on treatment, as well as movement analysis, acupuncture, nutrition and the breath into her clinical work.
Dawn has been a runner forever, practically combining her knowledge of movement patterns and injury prevention…with a spot of trial and improvement of her methods along the way!
In bringing together her guiding influences and background – running, yoga and physiotherapy, as well as nutrition, acupuncture and holistic models such as Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda – Dawn has asked lots of questions in her own life, made myriad observations clinically, read extensively and consequently she has assimilated the information and consolidated ideas. She aims to deliver these concepts to those who are seeking answers in their lives in order to live in harmony to their natural rhythms and those seated in nature and connection the natural world.
Dawn writes profusely on all matters of interest around the topics of health, healing, and movement in an informative, yet accessible way.
She has also developed various workshops to further deliver her accumulated knowledge to help others explore and realise their potential…be that in running, or in health.
What they didn’t teach us in school
When I was 18 or 19 one of my closest friends finished our friendship. It took me a long time for the confusion, and, to be honest, it was painful for me for a long while. Over the years I’ve […]
Unearthing some truffly delights
Each year has a different energy – we can feel it. If you think back to one of your favourite years –how did it feel? Full of lots of joyful events? A big move, perhaps, and all of its excitement […]
Everyone’s got an answer for us
My training partner and I are very different characters. For a start, he’s a guy and I’m not. Secondly, he’s all over, what I call, silly-long-distances (!), and I’m into shorter-sharper blasts. So our training coincides where his short runs […]
Some things are inevitable
Some things are inevitable if you run, jog, ‘jeff’* or plod…whether you’re a seasoned runner, or whether you’ve only just started putting on your go-fasters,** stick with running for long enough, and it’s inevitable that you’ll meet at least some, […]
Immersing yourself in the real New Year…
I’ve long found January a really tricky month to ‘get into to’. And it’s a paradox really because I love the freshness of the New Year, plus I spend a good chunk of December looking forward to January! The funny […]
My life with hummus
I have a long relationship with hummus. I’m still not entirely sure of the correct spelling, some spell it hummus, others spell it houmous. And it’s curious that I haven’t got a definitive on this one, because usually I’m rather […]
There is no away
‘There is no away.’ It’s a phrase that’s rattled around my head for the last few months. Not least, every time I’ve opened the bin to throw something ‘away’. There is now away. Where we throw our rubbish is not […]
How’s your motivation holding up?
How’s your motivation? Are you still feeling fresh as a spring chicken, or are you starting to flag..? Is the long haul from the summer to the winter break now starting to take its toll? Or maybe that’s just me?! […]
The benefit of being small
No doubt you’ve seen the business-evolution that’s positively affecting us all. A rising-up and reversal of us being buried by huge global, anonymous corporations and chains galore… with a wealth of individuals saying, ‘do you know what? I’m off – […]
