Book published during lockdown to help therapists practice self-care
‘I spent my lockdown writing a book about the importance of practicing self-care as a therapist. Entitled, The Secret to Being a Good Therapist: Looking After Yourself Whilst Looking After Others, the book gives readers guidance on self-employment, running a business and how to look after yourself as a therapist.

‘The content covers all aspects of the role, from confidentiality to networking and marketing. I was put off writing the book for a while because I found myself suffering from imposter syndrome. I’m beaming from ear to ear now with the success it has already had and I’m so glad I did it.’ n Deborah Lloyd-Baxter, MFHT To read an excerpt from Deborah’s book, visit fht.org.uk/IT-137-RR-Deborah

Looking forward to the International Oncology Conference on 15 May. @BAW_APPG Yesterday, the Group held a panel session, looking at the crucial work that holistic therapists have provided during the Covid-19 pandemic. We also looked ahead to see what role holistic therapists can play in tackling emerging problems.

New exercise pilot launched for over 65s by FHT Award winner
‘I created my company Molyfit.co.uk to act as a voice for older adults in the youth-oriented fitness industry and was proud to launch MolyFit Wellness this May, in conjunction with Herts Sports Partnership (HSP).
‘Together we are running a 20-week pilot scheme using exercise to improve wellness in the community. As MolyFit is based in Hertfordshire, the pilot scheme targets those living in the area, although this does not mean that someone has to live in Herts to take part in the live class.
‘Using my third book, Who Says Age Should Slow You Down?, as a reference guide, the free classes will focus on specific muscles to help improve walking and mobility in people aged 65+, by working on strength, balance and coordination exercises.
‘At the time of writing, the scheme is just about to get started – I can’t wait to see the results!’ n John Molyneux, MFHT, 2020 FHT Sports Therapist of the Year
