Herb Walk Reminder
25/03/09 09:11 Filed in: Events
Just a last-minute reminder that if you fancy taking advantage of the nice Spring weather, Paula’s doing an extra herb walk this lunchtime - Wednesday 25th March. There are still lots of places available, so give us a call to grab one...
Herb Walk Update!
20/03/09 09:55
Due to very high demand for the First Herb Walk on Saturday 28th of March, Paula has slipped in an earlier one for people who can’t make it. This weekday walk is actually before the first walk, on Wednesday 25th at 2:00pm - making it, presumably, Herb Walk Zero.
Note that as of time of posting (morning of 20th) there are still two places left on the 28th. If this all seems a little complicated, please call the shop and see which is available, and when... we’d love to see you at either!

First Herb Walk of 2009
Spring is on its way, so we’re excited to announce Paula’s first Herb Walk of 2009. It’s on Saturday 28th March at 10.30am when there will be lots of wonderful spring herbs to find on the Regents Canal and in Regents Park. Being a week after Mother’s Day, we think it would make an unusual present. We have designed a special Mother’s Day Gift Voucher which can be customised for the walk – or you can buy one for a massage, other treatment or for your mum to spend on some of our lovely products, of course.
Tickets are £10 (concs £5) and we strongly advise booking as our herb walks are very popular. Pop in or call us on 020 7267 3334 to book or for more information.

Women’s Health and Acupuncture
Come and learn a new way of looking at your body’s most fundamental cycle!

Conny Duxbury, MBAcC, lecturer at the London College of Traditional Acupuncture, will take you through the eye-opening Chinese view of the menstrual cycle and related conditions. She will discuss about how patterns of disharmony relating to the menstrual cycle can affect us on different levels – physical, energetic, mental, and emotional. She will also look at particular conditions – irregular periods, PMS, polycystic ovaries, menopause, and explain how acupuncture can help. £7
And don’t forget there’s also an NLP practice group on the last Thursday of every month. More information here...
