To create delicious dark chocolate has always been the vision of Conscious Chocolate. Their range is as healthy as it is luxurious. Their mandate is that everyone, regardless of dietary requirements, can enjoy the variety of chocolate they make.

Conscious Chocolates are handmade raw bars that are free from pesticides, dairy, gluten, soya and refined sugars. The cacao beans they use are fermented at low temperatures and sun-dried, they are never roasted so their bars remain packed full of the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, flavonoids and theobromine that make chocolate so good for you. When cacao beans are roasted, or have sugar and milk added to them, the benefits are enormously impaired. Conscious chocolate is raw so you get all the health benefits and all the taste. Don’t forget - chocolate does not only taste good but is healthy too.

Yummy!

Acupuncture can help rid your body of a nasty cold and flu. But there is no reason to wait until you get sick.  Acupuncture can be used as preventive treatment to make sure you are healthy and balanced throughout the year, especially during the changes of seasons when your immune system is most vulnerable.  If you feel symptoms coming on -or even worse- returning, come in for a treatment and leave feeling better. Treatments vary depending on each individual’s condition.  Generally, treatments will increase the body’s defence mechanism, improve respiration, speed up the healing process, expel pathogenic factors, decrease stress, boost the body’s energy, and smooth out aches and pains associated with the cold. People who get regular Acupuncture treatments report better well-being and less occurrence of illness even when those around them are ill. Many people who come in for a treatment at the first signs of a scratchy throat also find that they do not progress into a full-blown cold and are fully recovered the next day. One in three Londoners suffers from the common cold each year.  This year, it’s doesn’t have to be you.  Keep your immune system going strong with Acupuncture & Chinese Herbal Medicine.

Cathy wants to show you how yoga (asanas from hatha Yoga and kriyas from Kundalini Yoga), different yogic techniques like mudras (energetic hand and finger positions) and specific breathing can help you to coordinate the two hemispheres of your brain. Relaxation (yoga nidra) as well as two efficient meditations from Kundalini Yoga will give you a clear head and even more brains for your daily life. You´ll also get to know some interesting -but short!- medical research results on learning and the functions of our brain in combination with yogic knowledge! Cahty has started practicing yoga and meditation in her teenage-years and her first teacher was her father, a holistically working psychiatrist and Kundalini yoga teacher. That was in 1989 on a visit to Los Angeles, USA. She has been teaching Yoga for 10 years now and has found a wonderful and unique way to show „physical“ yoga and its deep philosophical knowledge on mankind to many different people- middle school kids and seniors, mums and dads, sportive and sick people. „I strongly believe that yoga should serve people - that´s why I love to combine Hatha Yoga Styles and Kundalini Yoga. They complement one another perfectly in all their aspects !“
