25.01.2022 The end of another busy, amazing week I am in clinic tomorrow as the week ahead is looking extremely busy, so I have decided to add an extra day! I have one appointment left tomorrow at 11am Have a wonderful week ahead

25.01.2022 I am so thankful and lucky to be able to work with an amazing, inspiring and genuine group of people. We have so much on offer and I am Healing Gifts. Highly recommend popping in for a look around.

23.01.2022 This week was a little bit of a blur! A very busy yet productive week and I had the pleasure of meeting so many new clients who I am extremely excited to be supporting through their health journeys. Looking forward to the weekend and seeing what next week brings! Have a relaxing weekend

23.01.2022 Which dietary approach is best for you? The amount of dietary advice that is out there is vast and down right confusing. I see so many people who are following a particular diet that a friend or family member was raving about only to feel worse. I see women, in particular, restricting calories and exercising daily attempting to loose weight only to struggle to shift a kg!... I think the main point I am trying to make is we are all so different, we have different genetics, gut health, underlying health conditions, needs and expectation so it only makes sense one particular dietary approach is not suitable for everyone. Another interesting thing to note is our gut health and potential leaky gut can lead to food intolerances, skin conditions, autoimmune disease and poor mental health, and numerous other chronic health concerns etc. When addressing any area of your health it is important to look at diet, gut health, environmental toxin exposure, past health history, any emotional trauma and mental health. It is also important to find a dietary approach that is specific for your own individual needs remembering there is no one size fits all diet just like there is no one size fits all medication!

22.01.2022 Good Morning! Another beautiful morning on the Gold Coast Have an amazing week everyone

22.01.2022 What an amazing start to the week! Rain through the night and sun during the day This week is the last week I have appointments for 2019 and at this stage very limited on appointments for the beginning of January. Appointments available this week are as follows:... Wednesday 12:30pm Friday 3pm and 5:15pm As we all know this time of the year is crazy busy so if there is a time that you would like but it is not listed please send me a message and I will see what I can do. Have an amazing week

20.01.2022 As most of my clients know I am on holiday visiting family in South Africa, this place is amazing! I will be back in clinic on the 10th of January and am currently getting a few emails out to clients now, apologies for the delay we had a slight power issue for a couple of days. Bookings for the new year can be made via the booking link or feel free to message me. ... Looking forward to a busy 2020 and starting the year off refreshed!

20.01.2022 Introducing the newest member of our family Mr Obie Louw. Our fur baby has come from an amazing breeder who raw feeds their dogs so although I am well versed on human Nutrition dog nutrition is something I am currently navigating. I think he has a better diet than us at the moment majority good quality meat with fish, vegetables and lots of other goodies. I have also looked into a fair bit of dry Dog food info and even the best quality dry foods are full of synthetic vitamins and fillers. Looking forward to delving into pet nutrition a lot more

19.01.2022 Good Morning everyone! As my clients know I absolutely love what I do, yes it is challenging, it is time-consuming ( a lot of my emails go out at extremely random and late times ) and my work can be emotionally draining, but helping people make long term permanent changes in their lives makes it all worth it! Plus I'm a little bit of a nerd and get great satisfaction over reading the research and figuring out what is actually going on with health conditions. My main goal wit...h all of my clients is to educate and support them to the point that they feel empowered to make educated decisions around their health without needing me! Most of them know I am just an email away if they need me! Nutrition is a big part of my treatment plans as well as lifestyle changes, small positive steps every day can make huge differences in our lives and to our well-being! Have an amazing Tuesday

19.01.2022 Antidepressant prescriptions seem to be climbing at a significant and alarming rate. Depression and Anxiety are symptoms of something that is not quite right within our bodies. Often medication is prescribed without thorough investigations being done prior, which is alarming. Many people are told that their depression and anxiety are caused by a chemical imbalance in their brains, which is a theory that has not actually be proven. ... It is really important to speak to your healthcare professional about any mental health concerns you may be having and request thorough investigations to determine any potential underlying causes. Talking to a good psychologist as well can make a significant difference. https://kellybroganmd.com/4-things-to-check-before-taking/

19.01.2022 We live in a society that is extremely busy! Our lives are busy with work, children, after school activities, general everyday chores and well just life that we often find ourselves overwhelmed and swamped. I know I often do! This year was the year I "Practice what I preach" and well the truth is I haven't been! I, like many people, have continued to push myself to the limit and trust me if we continue to do this it does not end well! ... I made a conscious decision this week to focus on prioritising what is important.... So today I worked in one of my favourite spots, yes I am lucky to occasionally have the freedom to do this. And it made a world of difference Sometimes we really need to take a step back and think about what is really important in our lives. I am so thankful to work with amazing people and have a career that I love, I adore my clients and the work I do to support them. Is it easy, definitely not but it is so rewarding. 2020 has been a year where I have seen so many clients putting themselves first We really need to focus on our health and wellbeing to feel better in ourselves. Take a few minutes out to fill your cup because we all know when we are mentally and physically drained we can't give the best of ourselves to ourselves and others. Also how beautiful are our beaches on the Goldy!!

18.01.2022 Hormonal conditions are a regular issue many of us Naturopaths see on a daily as a lot of women are wanting to treat the cause of their concerns not band aid the problem with hormonal contraception, although there is a time for that option! A very important mineral that plays a significant role in balancing out hormones through numerous pathways is Magnesium. Magnesium is commonly deficient in our population due to poor soil concentrations as well as not so great dietary cho...ices. Magnesium is a popular supplement for so many issues from muscle aches and pains, to mental health and stress factors and energy support. It is important to note that not all forms of magnesium are the same! Here is a great easy to read, quick blog post from Lara Briden! Could have said it better myself https://www.larabriden.com/8-ways-that-magnesium-rescues-h/

18.01.2022 2020 has been a trying year for many, it has been very much a year of uncertainty! Mental health is an area that is very close to my heart having dealt with it personally, in the past, and having worked with some amazing clients currently and in the past to work through anxiety, depression and all areas of mental health. This year has seen an increase in mental health statistics and suicide rates are up approximately 40% which is heart breaking ... There are a huge amount of health services that are available in Australia for those suffering with mental health conditions. It is also important to note there are numerous potential causes of anxiety and depression symptoms that are often overlooked: Vitamin B12 deficiency Iron Deficiency Vitamin D Deficiency Situational Experiences Auto-Immune Diseases- Particular Thyroid Gut Conditions and poor gut health There are numerous exacerbating causes to anxiety and depression that need to be investigated so make sure to discuss with your health care practitioner about getting to the root cause I see so many clients who even though they are battling with debilitating mental health symptoms they are still pushing through and doing the best they can given their current situation. You really are stronger than you think

18.01.2022 Back in clinic this week! January is very heavily booked at this stage so I have opened up this Wednesday for those that were unable to get an appointment for a couple of weeks. I currently only have 11:30am and 3pm free tomorrow and 1:30pm on Friday.... Looking forward to an amazing 2020!

14.01.2022 Good Morning!! I swear I put up these quotes for myself sometimes Anyone that knows me knows I have to do "To Do Lists" and this list is a very important one!... I have been a little MIA at the moment on my page due to my workload with my clients and my new business Ketogenic Kitchen, thanks to the amazing support we have had things have been a little crazy but exciting and rewarding Remember to take a few minutes out for yourself every now and then! This time of the year can be so crazy with kids event and christmas parties etc so slow down where you can

11.01.2022 Happy hump day The start of the year has been a huge one and I have been privileged to work with a few individuals who have said "This year is about focusing on me!" We spend so much time looking after others we often put ourselves last, which doesn't work out well for anyone!... Making time for yourself, focusing on your health and feeling better results in a better you and the ability to be better able to look after those around you when required. Have a great Wednesday everyone

11.01.2022 Excited to be taking on new clients now! It has been a crazy few weeks to say the least.

11.01.2022 Have an amazing Friday everyone

10.01.2022 Happy Monday! Excited for another busy and productive week ahead

10.01.2022 What a year 2019 has been! I have had the pleasure to meet so many amazing clients, to work through their health struggles and support them where I could. I couldn't imagine doing anything else with my life There have been ups and down through the year for us all, no doubt, that is life and we have grown stronger for every experience good or bad. ... I am currently in South Africa and what a humbling experience this trip has been! I am thankful to have been born in New Zealand and currently live in Australia, as my Dad says 'To be born in Australia or New Zealand is like winning the lottery'! I am thankful to be able to have a safe home for my family, food on the table and live in a relatively safe country. I am thankful to be educated and as all of us in Australia our children have access to education as millions of children around the world do not. South Africa is unbelievably beautiful, I can't even begin to describe the people, the landscape, the culture , there are some things that need to change in this country, as with any country, but here's hoping things will change in the near future! I am beyond excited to see what 2020 will bring, the opportunity to work with my existing and new clients and the growth that will come with a new and exciting year! Wishing everyone a wonderful, safe and exciting Christmas and New Year! Bring on 2020!

09.01.2022 As many of my clients know Zinc and Magnesium are a couple of my favourite nutrients, why? Well, both are often depleted in our current western diets, they play significant roles in mental health, hormonal health, as well as immune health and they are essential for good health! https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/263176#benefits

08.01.2022 The last few months have been interesting and for many overwhelming. I have spoke to so many people, and myself included, who have seen a lot of positives come out of this time too! I for one have had the opportunity to take a step back and really look at what was working in my life and what wasn't. Anyone that knows me knows that I am slightly an overachiever and push myself to the limits, a lot of the time, which in the long run can do a lot of damage both physically and me...ntally. Having personally struggled from burn out and crippling anxiety, in the past, I was put in a position once again that forced me to acknowledge that things need to change. I am so thankful for the way our bodies have a way of telling us, basically, you need to sort your crap out! We really need to listen to our intuition and how our bodies feel and take these signs seriously. We live in a society where we put so much pressure and expectations on ourselves and really for what? Every single week I see my amazing clients burnt out, feeling drained and struggling through each and every single day. We can take all the supplements and herbs in the world, exercise and eat well but if we don't really focus on what is working in our lives and what is not and what we really need in our lives often things wont change. How unbelievably powerful our minds are! We all deserve to live our best lives, feel great and let go of things or situations that are not serving us.

06.01.2022 It's a Macro Bowl kind of day!! This is seriously one of my favourite nutrient-loaded dishes. Loading up on lots of fermented vegetables, pre and probiotic foods and good fats.

Alfalfa Sprouts 1/2 Carrot, grated Kale and lentil Koftas Crunchy Sprouts 1/2 Avocado Saurkrauat 1 tbsp Black Rice Dressing: 1 tbsp Tahini 1 tsp Maple Syrup 1 tsp grated ginger 1 tbsp Soy Sauce A little water #foodasmedicine #goldcoastnaturopath #goodguthealth

06.01.2022 Begining of November tomorrow where has 2019 gone!! So close to the end of the year and I only have a handful of appointments left over the next few weeks so if you are wanting to squeeze in and get a plan in place for the crazy season and beginning of 2020 book in soon I see so many people at this time of the year, as it is a crazy busy time and we often push ourselves a little too far. Remember to take a breather and get a little downtime in where possible

06.01.2022 Did you know 70% of all health conditions are diet and lifestyle related? When you look at our health statistics this is quiet alarming! Just making small changes to your diet by reducing sugar intake, removing food like processed products from your diet and loading up on nutrient dense fruit, vegetables and good quality proteins can make a significant difference. Lifestyle wise we can reduce the harsh chemicals from our homes in the form of cleaning products, skincare and wa...shing our fruit and vegetables. We are so lucky to have so many affordable natural cleaning and skincare products available now! Adding a few household plants to your home too can help clean the air! Stress reduction is extremely important! We all have some form of stress in our lives and it is great to say "reduce your stress" easier said than done right? But some simple things you can implement include: 10 minutes of guided meditation each day Regular exercise even if it is just a half an hour walk 3-4 times per week Having a epsom salt bath at least once a week Looking at stressors in your life that really don't need to be there Doing something you enjoy! Sometimes we just need to simplify things a little, look at your diet, what can you change in your life to make things easier or help reduce stress and improve your health? Just make a small change regularly will make a huge difference in the long run

05.01.2022 I just thought I would let all my amazing clients and followers know we will still be open at 'I am' Healing Gifts. and I will still be seeing clients one on one. We have taken extra precautions and implemented extra measures at the center in light of Covid-19. As we all will no doubt know now if you are feeling unwell ,at all please stay home and contact your local medical center for advice or the national Corona Virus Helpline. I can also offer zoom consults if required.... Continue to wash hands regularly and avoid crowded areas. Lets just focus on each day as it comes, support those around us and small business where we can and fingers crossed this will be a distant memory soon.

04.01.2022 5 weeks till the holidays I currently have 7 appointments free for the rest of the year so if you are wanting to squeeze in an appointment I highly recommended sorting that out now I do have availability tomorrow due to a last-minute change, one appointment free at 1pm. ...

03.01.2022 Happy Easter to all my amazing clients and followers I have been MIA the last few weeks navigating the extraordinary situation we have been presented with and, like most parents, home-schooling my 3 boys and attempting to keep them entertained at home, that is a great challenge in itself! It is an interesting and challenging time at the moment! I just wanted to let my clients know, no doubt you are all aware, that I am here for any questions, concerns or just for a chat at... this time. I will continue to see clients as required and 100% support those on current treatment plans. I hope everyone is staying safe and enjoying this time with their immediate families

Bookings can be made via the booking link or just message to lock in this time.... Have a great weekend 'I am' Healing Gifts.

01.01.2022 I just wanted to wish all my amazing clients a wonderful Christmas day tomorrow and a Happy New Year! I also wanted to thank you all for challenging me every single day, pushing me to learn more and giving me the opportunity to expand my knowledge. Thank you for choosing me to support you on your health journeys! I adore each and every one of you and look forward to continuing to support my current and new clients in the New Year! ... I am also working on some exciting new programs for the New Year too And a little "not so Naturopathic Advice" let your hair down, have a few drinks, eat whatever you want tomorrow! It is just one day, enjoy it On a more serious note, I wanted to give thanks to our amazing firefighters that have been fighting the worst fires we have ever seen for months now! I really hope we see some relief from the fires soon and no more lives are lost. We are so lucky to have such wonderful Firefighters working to keep us safe and attempt to decrease the devastation that has already occurred. Have a safe Christmas and New Year!! Looking forward to wonderful, healthy and prosperous 2020
