Welcome to the reality of January 2026. It ’s well on its way, galloping forward towards what the Chinese call the  Year of the Fire Horse . And where are you in the movement of time? Still trying to get going, already crazy busy and exhausted, or somewhere in between? My treatment room has been buzzing with people — their excitement, victories, and challenges. It’s made me wonder what the best way really is to transition into January. And that’s what I’d love to explore with

Every year carries its own challenges, lessons, and moments of growth often unseen and uncelebrated. Instead of seeing any unfinished goals as failures, let’s recognize them as continuations .

We are working flat-out until 23 December (so you can get those problems you’ve not had time to attend to, sorted before the year is out that you have not had time to attend to), and it’s been a season of change, growth, and genuine excitement for what we can offer you. 1.

What if aging—like every other transition life offers—isn’t something going wrong, but something going  right ? What if it’s not a collapse, but a deepening? A return. A ripening into the essence of who you have always been becoming. We live in a world that fears aging, that treats it like a condition to be fixed or a problem to be managed.
