Vicky Clark has teamed up with the brilliant @clarecogancreatingcalm to run workshops for parents who want to understand what is actually going on inside their ADHD teenager’s brain — and, crucially, what might actually help. Because parenting teenagers is complicated enough. Add ADHD into the mix and sometimes it can be really hard to work out what’s ADHD, what’s being a teenager, what needs support… and what you just need to ride out. Bringing together Clare’s experience wo

Sammy Saunders has launched a new matchmaking business in Marlow, we had to find out more about this new relationship service and asked Sammy some questions about how she started the business and her plans to help us find love locally. Sammy Saunders, founder of Marlow Matchmakers What kind of research did you do before launching? I researched dating apps and statistics of lasting and loving relationships.

Marlow, this one's for you. TrainMore, one of the Netherlands' best-loved gym brands, has chosen our town for its very first UK club, opening this November on Pound Lane. Trainmore Marlow With more than 50 clubs across Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht and The Hague, TrainMore could have started anywhere. We picked Marlow.

Cardiovascular Risk Assessment at My Specialist GP. Understanding cardiovascular risk is an important part of preventative healthcare. High blood pressure, cholesterol, family history, age and lifestyle all contribute to risk, but increasingly, technology is giving doctors additional ways to build a more detailed picture of cardiovascular health. We have recently introduced a Cardiovascular Risk Assessment at My Specialist GP, using AI-assisted analysis of the retina to prov

If your body has started feeling like it's playing by a different rulebook lately, you're not imagining it. Perimenopause can bring changes in energy, sleep, mood and weight distribution, often years before periods actually stop. It’s, not just these huge changes women need to navigate, it is also the confusing and conflicting advice that follows: cut carbs, cut calories, exercise differently, cut out the foods you love, take a cocktail of supplements… Perimenopause is a time

It’s almost September. The new shoes have been bought. The uniform is labelled and the PE kit located after an unnecessarily stressful search of the house. You’ve spent hours preparing the children so that they are regulated and ready to embrace whatever the new school year brings. And for most parents, this is the end of the story. This is where they can stop and finally breathe. Back to School – box ticked. But for many ADHD parents, back to school isn't quite the glori

September is like New Year for parents ! We roll out of the summer holidays perhaps feeling a little sluggish and full of cocktails, ‘picky bits’ and BQQ food! September hits and we get hit with that thought: I really need to sort myself out. That ‘New Year, New Me’ feeling creeps in. But you don't need a drastic detox, a punishing new gym plan, or a rigid diet to feel like yourself again. Back to school doesn’t mean your life gets any less busy, so start with small steps and

Marlow has long been synonymous with rowing. For many residents, the sight of eights gliding along the Thames is simply part of everyday life. For me, however, rowing became much more than a local pastime. Several years ago, I made the decision to step away from my career in financial services and commit fully to rowing for Leander Club. For three years, my life revolved around training, racing and pursuing performance at the highest level possible. People often ask whether m

My, oh my, this summer has been incredible, unless you are my garden, which is in a sad state of affairs (although, to be fair, I'm not blessed with being green-fingered at the best of times). With air con units, fans and sunscreen out of stock, and a consistent hosepipe ban, anyone would think we've all been basking in a Mediterranean heatwave. Which, if you're anything like me after such a dreary and damp winter, has been well received. But how do we keep our skin glowing a

With house prices remaining high and the cost of living continuing to put pressure on families, many parents and grandparents are choosing to help loved ones financially. Whether it is contributing towards a first home, paying university fees or helping an adult child through a difficult period, gifting can make a real difference. However, before transferring money, it is worth taking a step back to consider the legal and financial implications. A carefully planned gift can b

We are settled into the school holidays. This means extra meals to think about, no routine and kids who are somehow both "starving" and "not eating that" within the same sentence. Instagram-worthy Sunday batch cooking, with its labelled containers and colour-coded lunches, seems far from reality when you're juggling childcare, days out, a job and your own needs (if you can even remember what they are anymore!). Here's a meal prep approach that actually holds up: Lindsay Montg

For many people, buying or selling a home is one of life's most exciting milestones. Yet it's fair to say that the process itself hasn't always kept pace with modern life. While we can now manage our banking, shopping and even medical appointments online, moving home often still relies on lengthy paperwork, repeated requests for the same information and long periods of waiting. Gemma Parr The good news is that this could soon begin to change. The government has announced pl

Ever wondered how GLP-1 medications actually work? They help to reduce appetite, they slow down how quickly food leaves the stomach, they help to regulate blood sugar levels. Eating nutrient dense food and taking supplements can do a very similar job. 57% of the UK average diet is ultra processed. This means there are nutrition gaps for most people. Food, like crisps, breakfast cereal and store brought bread are high in calories and contaivery little nutrition value. They cau

When we think about wellbeing, we often focus on physical fitness, nutrition and mental resilience. Yet one important part of overall wellbeing is often overlooked - knowing that your personal affairs are organised and up to date. Taking steps to put the right legal arrangements in place can bring a real sense of calm. It reduces uncertainty, protects the people you care about and ensures that, whatever happens, your wishes are clear. Making or reviewing your Wil A Will is th

We love finding out about local people who have started a business that brings the community together, even better if it also explores the beautiful area that we live in too.

If you own a property in Marlow, there’s an increasing chance that your estate could be exposed to inheritance tax (IHT) in the not-too-distant future. With high local property values and recent legislative changes, the total value of your estate may be significantly higher than you realise. Sian Hinton-Woodier FPFS Two factors are now especially important. The first is the £2 million threshold, where valuable tax allowances begin to reduce. The second is the upcoming inclusi

Higginson Park has been the green heart of Marlow for a century. This month, Buckinghamshire Council and local community groups are coming together to celebrate its 100th anniversary on Saturday 20th June. Exactly 100 years ago, local residents rallied to buy this beautiful riverside space. They saved it for the public to honour the 100th birthday of General Sir George Higginson.

PDRN is undeniably the hot topic that seemed to appear out of thin air and has got us all captivated and marginally obsessed. But, what actually is it? And is it worth all the hype?

We spotted Mikey Cook upside down on Instagram and we were compelled to talk to him about his new Aerial Yoga class he has just launched at Flow in Marlow. "My background in fitness started through a love of movement from a young age. I was always interested in dance and did gymnastics and trampolining at school. Years later, a friend convinced me to try Pole Fitness and I instantly fell in love with the creativity, strength and supportive atmosphere of the classes. That even

There’s a common belief that running and exercise “wear out” your joints — but in most cases, the opposite is true. Our bodies are designed to move. Whether it’s walking, running, strength training, yoga or simply staying active day to day, regular movement helps keep joints healthy, muscles strong and the body resilient as we age. At Marlow Movement Clinic, we regularly see people who have stopped exercising because they’re worried about damaging their knees, hips or back. O

Join our latest Soul Food webinar to discover how employers can engage five generations in one workforce. A wellbeing strategy that works for one group of employees might completely miss the mark for another. A part-time colleague. A store manager. A head office team member. A distribution worker. A parent. A carer. A graduate. A retiree returning to work. The modern workforce is not one audience: it is many. That’s why our next Soul Food webinar will explore how employ

Have you ever found yourself replaying a WhatsApp message for three days because someone replied with a ‘thumbs up’ emoji instead of something more positive? Or have you convinced yourself that someone was annoyed with you because they took a bit too long to reply? Or maybe criticism, awkward feedback or feeling left out hits you so hard that it feels physical and you end up wanting to run away and hide from shame? Vicki Clark, founder of Neon Mind That might be Rejection S

When someone can no longer make decisions for themselves and has not put a Lasting Power of Attorney in place, the Court of Protection can step in. An application to the Court allows decisions to be made about a person’s finances, property, health or welfare, either on an ongoing basis through a deputyship or for a specific one-off issue. This article explains what the Court of Protection does, when an application may be needed, and what the process involves. What is the Cour
