Recharging the batteries

It was another early start to the day being called at 4am to go and attend a birth. By lunchtime, the lack of sleep was catching up on me when Bridget, our work counsellor and general therapist (for want of a better description) arrived. She runs monthly sessions where we can debrief births, talk about any emotional issues, and also does aromatherapy massage and healing. Everyone else had forgotten the session was today so it was just me, and I spent an hour having a lovely aromatherapy massage which left me feeling completely refreshed and ready to face the world.
