Jan Murphy MRSS wishes to share this season’s Macrobiotic recipe to support you during the Autumn to Spring months
Remember to always eat fresh and seasonal vegetables at all times to stay in harmony and balance with the world that we live in.
As strange as that sounds, our bodies know what they need, hence we crave certain foods at different times in our lives and indeed schedules. Keeping a food diary at any particular time can be an interesting read and do feel free to bring this to your sessions with myself.
Do enjoy this wonderful recipe and I will get you a new and vibrant Spring recipe very soon.
If you wish to talk further or indeed book Shiatsu/bodywork with me to further align your body and indeed mind, then do get in touch on 07886655705
