Flying can be a major problem for people who suffer from anxiety attacks. An innovative pre-flight treatment though could be a way forward. It’s a combination of downloadable course with expert coaching.

However, the real stress and anxiety treatment takes place at a resort in Kenya. At Kas Mottani nestled around a freshwater lagoon on the Indian Ocean. The huts are open to the breezes, and contain one enormous bed, which was also very comfortable, with a huge mosquito net.

The de-stress and anxiety treatments consist of yoga and relaxation, plus individual and group sessions of CBT to help people understand more about their condition and develop their own program to eliminate

Outside there was a large verandah, complete with hammocks, and cushions to lie out in the evening and watch the sun set, plus therapy pools to soothe aches and tension.

The food is very freshly prepared by the ever willing smiling chefs, concentrating on foods to boost wellbeing and detox plus de-stressing - to build the immune system and improve general health.

I came across these fascinating pictures on a fashion photography blog. Not fashion photography at all, but a record of life in 1930’s Kenya taken by the great-great uncle of Oliver Prout the fashion photographer behind the UK based Fashion Photography blog.

These kinds of scenes have largely disappeared, except in the remotest areas - indeed even when I was actively traveling and studying in the region relatively recently, Western influences in dress and transport and of course education, have led to major changes in rural life.

Towns and cities have of course changed even more.
