Customer Reviews
Inspiring, encouraging and informative
I’ve followed Her Spirit for some time on social media but only just realised that they have a podcast series! It was a joy to find and with such a great back catalogue. I’ve listened to 4 in the space of two days.
I love the relaxed style with Louise Minchin hosting and the excellent line up of guests, many of whom I have admired for a long time.
The podcast manages to be encouraging and relatable whilst also very informative and useful. I have enjoyed the ones where it is a 3 or 4 way conversation - they always make you feel you are part of it!
I highly recommend them and I hope you enjoy them as much as I am. Thank you Her Spirit! It’s such great work! Jo Jo Moseley @jomoseley on Instagram

Oh to be enjoying tapas and vino
Thank you, great episode today- nothing plain or boring about water!
Nature’s champagne.
Our stomach and all related to it is truly our powerhouse so great nurturing of it is so necessary.
Thank you for sharing this expert’s knowledge.
Gut instinct so true, it’s not all about symptoms, a lot is how you feel too.
Do you know how many people die from constipation in the care homes and across LD adults demographic? It’s a silent killer. We use the Bristol Stool Chart at work as a vital indicator.
Breathing exercises and meditation in combination with exercise help greatly with frequency and efficiency of the bowel.
All things in moderation as often as possible a good mantra 🌻
Hope your cold shifts fast darling go ginger, Manuka and lemon deffo
Love you girlies 💕
