I was helping some other therapists the other day and we were talking about our therapies being complementary to traditional medicine rather than alternative to it and I have to say, this is the view of most of my clients, i.e. the therapy works alongside any medical treatment they are having.

However, it is true to say that some people would never ever consider seeking any help outside of traditional medicine. They might even view the more well established therapies as pseudoscience or at worst potentially harmful.

On the other hand, there are definitely people whose first port of call is the complementary therapy of their choice. I have clients for example who contact me first whatever the situation..... eye infection call Sarah, slipped disc call Sarah, can't sleep call Sarah, son is stressing me out call Sarah etc etc. I love that they do that and obviously they have learnt over time that often I can help (and I love that even more). Sometimes I have to recommend they see their GP of course, but even then they may not be keen to.

Its just so interesting how different people are.

“I was curious to find out more about Craniosacral Therapy, as I did not know anything about it. Not only did Sarah explain it well to me, she also gave me an unforgettable treatment. It felt as if parts of my body were freed up again and flooded with new energy. It was quite an amazing experience and it is still beyond me how something so gentle can have such powerful results. Sarah is extremely knowledgeable, professional and very passionate about her work, which makes the experience even more special. Highly recommend.” DA

Loving the honesty here….there’s no shame in taking antidepressants

I take anti-anxiety meds. Apparently that means my faith is broken.

A pastor on the internet told me this week that I shouldn’t be taking them. That no Christian should be on long-term antidepressants or anti-anxiety meds. She said that if I had true faith, I would not need them. That if I truly trusted God, I would not need them.

Cool, cool, cool.

The worst I got was when I had preschool children and my brain turned on me. It was a combination of hormones, stress, starting a new business, running out of money, and having a child with additional needs who was undiagnosed. All of it together added up to one conclusion: I was a bad mum. My brain broke on me.

I made a commitment then to get on meds and stay on them, stay in therapy, and stay with God. All three have worked like a slightly chaotic group project where, for once, everyone actually does their part.

After Holy Week, I was hiding from the world and doom scrolling. I saw her video and felt a gut punch. I felt like a failure. She pushed the one button that is still so vulnerable.

Like this is a secret I’m not meant to have.

I take other medication for my body, and I don’t feel any shame about that. So why is there shame here? Why does this feel like something I’m not meant to say out loud?

It’s because of this clobber verse:* “Perfect love casts out fear.” People use it as a weapon to mean: if I really knew God’s love then I wouldn’t have anxiety.

That if I was still anxious, it must mean something in my faith is broken.

My anxiety is not from a lack of faith. In fact, my faith has been the one thing that has held me together, time and time again. If anything, when it got so bad that I could barely leave the house, faith was the only thing I didn’t lose.

I still knew that God loved me.
That God cared for me.
That God would carry me through.

And He did.

Perfect love doesn’t always remove fear all at once. Sometimes it casts it out daily. And again. And again.

God was with me in the darkest moments of my life. He didn’t abandon me or leave me. He carried me.

Perfect love casts out fear. And it does. But for me, it looks like this.
I take my fears to God every day.
Sometimes I write them down and pray over them.
Sometimes I just tell Him everything and then get on with my day.

I give God my fears the way other people say grace before a meal. Constantly. Repeatedly. Every single day.

And together, God and I get through the day.

And yes, I also take medication. And go to therapy. Turns out, God works through those too.

Today is Low Sunday. The Sunday after Easter. Low Sunday is not a celebration of those of us who are prone to mental health struggles, but I like to pretend it is. It feels like it fits.

So Happy Low Sunday. And bless all of us who take the damn meds.

Bless you my friends,
Rev Jessie

* A clobber verse is a Bible verse people use to hit others with. You get ‘clobbered’ by them. It’s always nice.

So important to raise awareness and please do note Rachel’s experience of helping people with endometriosis.

Endometriosis Action Month.

In the UK over 1 in 10 women and those assigned female at birth are currently living with Endometriosis according to Endometriosis UK and the average time to receive a diagnosis is now 9 years and 4 months. For women and those assigned female at birth from communities of colour, it’s even longer at 11 years.

Endometriosis can have a significant impact on a woman's life in a number of ways, including: Chronic pain
Fatigue/lack of energy
Depression/isolation
Problems with intimacy and relationships
An inability or difficulty to conceive
Difficulty in fulfilling work and social commitments
Not being heard or validated

In my clinical experience regular sessions of gentle Scarwork combined with Craniosacral therapy can really help manage the symptoms, particularly reducing the extent of chronic pain and discomfort and the severity and regularity of flare-ups meaning you can get on with your life.

If you suffer from the debilitating impact of Endometriosis isn't it worth exploring what a difference regular Scarwork/Craniosacral sessions might make to your life? For a free 20 min no-obligation phone call please get in contact.

I am based in Amber Hill near Boston.

For more information about Endometriosis and different ways in which you can get involved in Endometriosis Action Month 2026 go to https://www.endometriosis-uk.org/

Sometimes we can become overwhelmed with STRESS and unable to cope with life's demands. Extended periods of stress can start to produce symptoms which have an impact on our day to day life and ultimately, may lead to serious illness.

Craniosacral Therapy is unique in its ability to treat the source of symptoms on every level, whether mental, physical or emotional. Any of these can be signs of stress: Tired all the time, headachy, anxious, run down, unable to cope, overwhelmed, bloated, unable to concentrate, irritable, restless, tense, palpitations, out of sorts, out of touch with your feelings.

Any questions, please PM or call Sarah on 07956 390419, she'll be happy to help.
