I’ve noticed for a long time that if I put classical music on in the car, the kids chill out and it seems to do something to our brains!! Maybe this is why!

Classical Music Synchronizes Brain Waves, Improving Depression

Recent research has demonstrated that Western classical music can have a significant impact on brain activity, particularly in individuals suffering from treatment-resistant depression.

By using brainwave measurements and neural imaging, scientists discovered that music helps synchronize neural oscillations between regions of the brain involved in processing sensory and emotional information, leading to mood enhancement.

This finding opens up the potential for personalized music therapy as a powerful tool for treating depression, particularly when combined with other sensory stimuli.

The study suggests that music could be a valuable addition to mental health treatments, offering new hope for those who struggle with traditional therapies.

Paris is training to be a Clinical Psychologist at Exeter University, and for his doctoral thesis is looking at thinking styles, personal values, awareness and daily stressors in people who have a diagnosis of chronic pain or a formal chronic pain condition (e.g. fibromyalgia), or who have been experiencing persistent pain for three months or longer.

You would start with a questionnaire online (about 25 minutes) and then a daily questionnaire (about 5 minutes) for two weeks. A link to the daily survey will be texted to you to make this process convenient.

You can email Paris at [email protected] if you have questions or with any concerns about the research.

I'll be fine 😭

*HOLIDAY*

After a crazy busy few months personally and professionally, I’m now on my holidays for this week, hoping to get in a few beach days, some cycling, running and chilling out with my kids.

Normal service will resume on Tuesday 6th August - see you then!

Having used Charlotte personally, I can really recommend her, she knows her stuff and working with her is really a game changer!

Having a child or young person suffering with mental health can be really hard at home for parents/carers and the rest of the family.

Why not book a PARENT consultation to get a better understanding of the mind and get some real stratergies to how you CAN help at home.
Knowledge is so empowering and small adjustments can make a BIG difference.

THURSDAY 9am & FRIDAY 11.30am have just become available this week!

I am on holiday the following week, and August is already looking very busy, so if you are in need of a massage for stress relief, pain relief or some ‘me time’ then PM me asap to book in - these appointments will go quickly!

Looking forward to seeing you in clinic this week!

When my customer’s on holiday and they send me this photo because it reminded them of me 🤣

What an incredible weekend!!

My talk at Paignton Library went really well and I met a group of absolutely incredible chronically pain warriors, who I hope I was able to help by sharing my knowledge. It was an absolute privilege to talk to you all - and to think I was worried no one would turn up!!

And then a nice long day of being a beach bum down at Bigbury. Exactly what was needed!

Looking forward to seeing you all in clinic from tomorrow - hopefully the rain will be gone by then!!
