  • Intentional? 🧠

    It’s been a busy couple of weeks – from many evening groups with my Mindfulness research study participants, to my Patron duties a couple of weekends ago for the IIH UK patient charity (an amazing charity advocating for people living with a rare neurological condition called Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension). And the excitement continues with my…


  • 🌟[TT] hocus pocus: Magic or Science? 🧠

    During a coffee break at a meeting recently, I got chatting with two colleagues. One of them mentioned their upcoming choir event that evening. “How wonderful,” I said, “to combine singing as a mindfulness practice while connecting with a community!” The other colleague responded with, “Mindfulness — that’s hocus pocus isn’t it?” Firstly, I was…


  • 🌟[TT] What’s Your Choice? Your Brain Thrives When You Choose to Recharge With Intention🧠

    During a recent family “staycation” for the school half-term break, I am reminded about the importance of carving out time – time to re-charge, time to re-connect.

  • [TT] Energy 🧠 Boosts! 🚀

    In clinic recently, a patient shared their struggles with constant tiredness. When we started talking about physical activity, they immediately thought of gym workouts and lengthy exercise routines.

  • [TT] Thursday Thanks ♥️

    Gratitude comes to mind as I write this week’s Thursday Tips [TT] newsletter. I am writing this whilst on the train to Liverpool, where I spent 5 years of my Neurology registrar (residency) training. I’m excited to return today to give an invited talk on eye movements. I feel forever grateful for the nurture and…


  • [TT] Music 3 Ways 🎶🧠

    Have you ever noticed how a simple melody can transport you back in time? Just the other day, I heard “The Eye of the Tiger’” which brought me back to the moment that song came on the radio, at the start of an epic road trip whilst I was working as a Neurology registrar in…
