25.01.2022 Happy Women's Health Week to you all! Looking forward to celebrating at the Illeso Studio open day this Saturday - come and book in for a free 15 min free naturopathy, homeopathy or shiatsu consult, and check out one of the free 30 min classes in the studio. Hope to see you there!

25.01.2022 "Healing is part of life and continues through death and into life again. It occurs throughout a person's life journey as well as across generations. It can be experienced in many forms such as mending a wound or recovering from illness. Mostly however, it is about renewal. Leaving behind those things that have wounded us and caused us pain. Moving forward in our journey with hope for the future and renewed energy, strength and enthusiasm for life. Healing gives us back to ou...rselves. Not to fight or hide anymore. But to sit still, calm our minds, listen to the universe and allow our spirits to dance on the wind. It lets us enjoy the sunshine and be bathed by the golden glow of the moon as we drift into our dreamtime. Healing ultimately gives us back to our country. To stand once again in our rightful place, eternal and generational." *From Traditional Healers of Central Australia: Ngangkai I was reading this incredible book and came across this passage. A remarkable and wise vision of health and the journey of healing, one that places each of us in a bigger story. I hope it can offer some strength and inspiration to those who struggle with ongoing health issues - a reminder our health is a part of a larger whole

20.01.2022 Next Saturday 8th September, Illeso studio where I practice is having an open day to celebrate women's health week. If you have any interest in naturopathy and what it may offer you please come along and have a chat: free 15 minute conversations/advice sessions are available from 10-12pm. I will be sharing the space with my fellow colleagues, Emma & Radka, who will be offering their shiatsu and homeopathic skills and wisdom. There will also be free 30 minutes classes in the studio space. Come along and have a chat, a cup of tea and a stretch/dance - should be fun!

17.01.2022 "Menstruation is natural, but for it to cause extreme pain isn’t. However, because so many of us are never taught very much about what to expect from our periods in the first place, it’s hard to tell when something’s wrong." This article talks about what we know only too well; that as women we are often having to grit and bear pain, discomfort, and emotional changes in our cycle. We often hear that the only solutions are the contraceptive pill or surgery, and while these are necessary for some women, there are many ways a balanced cycle can be achieved. Naturopathy uses diet, lifestyle changes, education and herbal remedies to work effectively with your unique and complex cycle.

16.01.2022 Happy New Year everyone! I hope you're feeling as refreshed and relaxed as this sunflower after the holidays. I am back in Canberra and ready to take bookings for 2018.

15.01.2022 Two colleagues of mine are hosting this upcoming workshop series at Illeso studio in Aranda - an incredible opportunity to learn at the hands of two wonderfully skilled and compassionate shiatsu healers. Check it out!

14.01.2022 Hello friends, In exciting Aranda news, I have moved my practice into the local Aranda shops at the lovely Illeso studios. The studio and surrounding businesses have cultivated a wonderful community hub; where people can come along for a yoga class, book in for a massage, and have a coffee upstairs at the delicious Two Before Ten café. I am the first naturopath to be practicing from this space, and look forward to working alongside some excellent practitioners. I will be pr...acticing out of my new room on Thursdays, Fridays, and some Saturdays. Click on my booking link to check my availability, and come on over for some naturopathic treatment (and a delicious coffee upstairs!). Check out the studio here https://www.facebook.com/illesostudio/

13.01.2022 Just brewed up a pot of echinacea, elder flower, and fresh ginger with thyme and calendula from the garden. A warming, immune-boosting brew for a windy winters day

11.01.2022 Hi everyone, a little shout out to all you men out there - do you know that it's men's health week? A good reminder that guys, you are less likely to seek out healthcare services than women despite the need for support. In particular men have a disproportionately higher rate of suicide and self harm (75% of cases are men). Asking for support is an act of strength and determination, it is brave. Why not do it this week!!

10.01.2022 I am temporarily closed for all appointments. I hope you are all keeping safe, and as healthy as can be. Kindly, Alyssa

10.01.2022 Happy International Women's Day to everyone! What a good opportunity for reflection, action, and for celebration. For me professionally, I have had the opportunity to work with many women as they look for support and empowerment in their health. As women we are so often challenged by physical and emotional stages of change, whether that be puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, motherhood, and menopause - changes and fluctuations that can be overwhelming, but also rhythmic, insightful and fulfilling. Today I want to celebrate the women who come through my door who are willing to engage challenge, who are motivated, resilient and beautiful at every age and stage of life. Thanks for the opportunity to work with you, you inspire me.

09.01.2022 Mmm, spring is here! I am celebrating by harvesting and infusing some of the abundance of cleavers (Galium aparine) that has arrived in my garden - this little herb always comes just in time for a spring cleanse. It is an alterative, a lymphatic and an all-round tonic. This means it helps to clear toxins from the body, stimulate lymphatic flow to clear out all that garbage your immune system has been dealing with all winter, and to lift your energy and vitality for the sprin...g burst. Most people see this little herb as a weed and throw it in the green waste with all the other unwanted plant bits. But it is, in fact, highly medicinal, and appropriately times its entry into your home just at the time of year you need it.To identify it, have a look at these photos, and if in doubt pull some out and put it on your clothes, it should be sticky like velcro. Thanks cleavers for infusing a little spring into my day!

05.01.2022 Hello everyone, welcome to my new page. I am officially open for business, please check out my webpage https://www.alyssabestnaturopath.com/. I look forward to meeting you!
