25.01.2022 'Tis the season to buy candles' - @nimbincandles to be more precise! . This week I have nearly sold out of the stunning pyramid candles, with backorders being placed - they're in high demand and rightfully so! . They truly are the coolest, most beautiful, high quality and funky candles on the market and they have long burning times - true value for money! They make very cool gifts and are great eye candy for your own home, with colours to suit everyone.... . I still find it hard to burn my own as they're just so pretty, but when they do burn, the colours just intensify and it's quite the spectacular visual experience! . New candles will be arriving soon so I will post pictures of my new stock . Supporting local and Australian businesses . Love your work @nimbincandles #nimbincandles #coolest #funkycolours #visualspectacular #neworders #newstock #supportlocabusinesses #australianmade #pyramidcandles #ancienthippy #proudretailer #loveyourwork #highquality #tistheseason #rightfullyso #nimbincandlefactory #eyecandy #coolgifts

25.01.2022 New Nimbin Candles in stock! Cute Mushrooms, Scented Funky Pyramids, Peace Symbols, and Zodiac Pyramids, which contain the relevant birthstone within each candle. I took a day trip across the QLD / NSW border yesterday to meet with my lovely suppliers @nimbincandles and to personally choose my new stock plus my customer orders. What a fantastic and friendly place to visit. The history of the candle making is fascinating with a machine built from scratch based on a medieval ...sketching of a candle making machine. If you are ever passing through, make sure you stop by! All new stock is being uploaded onto my website today, (ancienthippy.com.au) so in the meantime, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions! #ancienthippy #nimbincandles #funky #mushrooms #zodiac #peace #newstock #getyourhippyon #candles #nontoxic #pyramids #lightingcandles See more

22.01.2022 Today I made an anxiety-free bath oil blend using dried Lavender, Rose, Chamomile, Melissa, Lemon Balm and Passionflower, with an essential oil infusion of Lavender, Clary Sage and Frankincense. I have also added in Amethyst, Selenite, Rose Quartz, Green and Blue Flourite stones/crystals to work their magic with the other natural elements, to absorb any negativity and to cleanse and heal the psyche. This blend grounds all heightened emotions whilst bringing a sense... of calm and tranquility into the mind. Added into a warm bath and you physically melt away any tension your body is harbouring from unresolved feelings, allowing your mind to recalibrate and be in the moment, which halts anxiety in it's tracks! This dried floral blend can also be made into a tea. Combine the bath and the floral tea, light a candle and let it burn whilst concentrating on melting away any negative thoughts that come into mind. Close your eyes and allow all physical senses to come alive and encapture the blissful moment one millisecond at a time. This holistic bath experience will leave you with a soothed, centred and flagrantly rejuvenated soul Bliss out with the nurturing elements of Mother Nature If you cannot access these ingredients, PM me and I can make you a blend #floralinfusion #ancienthippy #blissout #lavender #frankincense #clarysage #rose #chamomile #melissa #passionflower #bathoil #anxietyblend #fragrantsoul #soothing #rejuvenation #crystals #healingstones #amethyst #rosequartz #selenite #flourite #nurturing #mothernature #healthepsyche #cleansethesoul

22.01.2022 I love this quote. Sometimes we wonder why people react the way they do, especially when its negative. Sometimes we feel waves of negative emotions that squash our self love and zest for life, but are not quite sure why this powerful state of mind exists within us. Taking note of your reactions and searching for the truth and cause behind them can lead you down a long and winding path...and its worth it. Put up with the sideways distractions this process can put you on, ...because like anything, the more you set out to discover, the more you learn along the way, and more importantly, the more you are able to understand and heal the wounds of the past. The more you understand your own triggers and the journey behind them, the more you understand others that are travelling on their own unique journey, whilst developing and increasing your compassion, empathy and kindness along the way.

21.01.2022 New addition to my at-home therapy room!! This incredible ancient Egyptian rug was so generously gifted to me last night as a surprise by my beautiful and generous son and his equally beautiful and generous girlfriend, as an early Xmas present. They snuck it into the house and set my massage table up on it, got me to close my eyes and led me into my therapy room for a surprise...and what a surprise!!! I was completely and utterly lost for words!! I will need to pop a protect...ive spray on it before I set the table up on it and I will share photos once this is done. It is of beautiful quality too and it sets my room into even more of an ambient space with it's deep, rich and vibrant colours. How did I get so lucky and so blessed!! Thank you Bailey and Nancy ever so much, this is so extravagant and perfect for the ancient Egyptian fanatic that I am. I am excited to be sharing its extravagance with my clients too!! BLESSED GRATEFUL THANKFUL

20.01.2022 Most households carry eucalyptus or tea tree oils - they are anti-viral oils so perfect to be diffusing in your home right now. This article is an interesting read from one of my suppliers of organic essential oils. If anyone needs any oils right now or even to purchase a diffuser, please contact me as I can still assist in these areas...I just cant massage...missing my clients and my area of work so much right now but health for both parties is more important that anything!

19.01.2022 Looking after your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing is essential to live a life of health, happiness and vitality. I know I preach this a lot, but all are interconnected to each other and if one is suffering, the others are effected. I take myself on many walks each week, but my favourite local place to go is the Enoggera Reservoir, and this morning the depth of colour and the tranquil stillness was breath taking. It is a sensory smorgasbord, so visua...lly stimulating every time, with the sound of bird songs and the rustling of wildlife in the bushes. The walks are vigorous enough to raise the heart rate and the air is so clear, fresh and cleansing for the lungs. Physically it is enough, getting my 10,000 steps in and walking a 9.5km distance each time. Mentally and emotionally it is my haven for solving problems, letting go and creating positive thoughts and emotions. Spiritually I am able to connect deeper whilst I chant mantras in my head throughout the walk when I find my mind being too busy or simply stuck in a rut. Nature always grounds you and that in itself is replenishing and healing. When you find something that resonates with your soul on that healthy and healing level, embrace it and immerse yourself in it at least three times per week. I am blessed and so grateful to live in a suburb abundant in beauty, nature, wildlife and hills, (I love my hill climbing)!! It refuels and replenishes me as soon as I step outside my front door. When you love where you live, every day starts off positive! #ancienthippy #enoggerareservoir #healing #replenishing #nature #holisticwellness #healthandwellbeing #10000stepsaday #immerseyourself #refuelyoursoul #lovewhereyoulive

19.01.2022 Keeping cleansed and healthy when Im at home with my smudge sticks, one of Sage, the other of Lavender and Rosemary, my homemade hand sanitiser made from an aloe plant, my energy cleansing crystals and diffusing Fragonia, Lavender and Rosemary essential oils.

19.01.2022 This is my type of medicine and therapy!!

18.01.2022 Day 6 of 7 - Chronic Pain Awareness. . For every situation we are in, there are positives. I truly believe this, even in my darkest hours on my hardest days, there are positives out of living with chronic pain. . 1. We're all told to 'live in the moment', 'be more mindful' etc. & yes, I am an advocator for this. Well there is nothing more that brings you into the moment, into every millisecond, than dealing with pain. It actually makes it incredibly difficult to focus on an...ything else. So, we are well practiced mindful people! . 2. Priorities in life are paramount for every human being to create, & we can all create some selfish, shallow & materialistic ones for ourselves. Chronic pain soon beats into our brains what priorities are worthy & valuable, & what ones are a load of garbage. Health, wellbeing, family, friends, & having a roof over our head, plus healthy food to eat are genuine & authentic priorities. They're the ones I strive for daily. . 3. You soon find out who's genuine & who's not in your life! I know a couple of sufferers who have lost friends due to their condition. People give up on us because we aren't as capable & reliable as we used to be. Yes, we have a lot of bad days, but we have good days too - don't write us off completely. We still exist, & we still enjoy doing things & going places when we're able to. For those that have given up, we are actually better off without you - please don't take offence, but our good days are so precious & we want to share these with people that deserve us, because like you, we are worthy & deserving of wonderful & beautiful experiences too. . 4. We develop a deep sense of compassion, empathy, understanding, sympathy & care towards others. You won't find it from a more genuine source! This is what drives me as a therapist & person. . 5. We are strong. We fight hard. We love hard. We work hard at everything we're able to. We don't take anything for granted & we have hopes & dreams like everyone else. We set goals & smash them, even if it's just going out for a walk, which may not seem like an astounding goal to set, but believe me, it can be one of the most rewarding experiences & achievements.

18.01.2022 Anyone who has received a massage from me will have also received a blurb about fascia/connective tissue and how important it is to our overall health and wellbeing. . Im a little obsessed with fascia and understand the importance of incorporating myofascial release work into the majority of my massages. . One quote from an incredible book Im currently reading about Fascia, (yes, Im reading this for pleasure not for study), was something I spoke to a client about the othe...r day - basically not feeling comfortable within your own body. . The quote says "if youre getting bodywork, it should be not only to improve how well you can control your body so youre perfectly symmetrical and look straight in the mirror, but should also focus on embodiment and feeling at home in your body". . Our bodies are not going to function properly if we cannot connect to it...and what connects everything within our bodies? - Connective tissue, aka Fascia! . Fascia is a complex unified organ that has many, many purposes, from the top of our heads to the tips of our toes. As it is one unified structure, albeit in many forms, a simple injury on your big toe, for example, can create pain and discomfort in your neck, another example. . Here are some roles that fascia plays within our bodies: .* it allows body parts to glide over, under and around each other, .* it holds our organs in place, .* it is a water resource, .* it is a communication network system, .* it plays an integral role in immune health, .* it promotes healthy lymphatic flow, .* it can also store and influence our emotions and behaviours...plus so much more. . Massage isnt just releasing muscles and creating relaxation, its improving muscle functionality, correcting misalignments, improving circulation, enhancing positive moods and emotions, aiding in healthy organ function and so much more. . Working with fascia is a step beyond regular bodywork and has the ability to reconnect you with every part of your body, feeling comfortable in your own skin, giving you the feeling of wholeness and being at home. . Please contact me if you would like to know how a myofascial treatment could work for you! See more

Combine the dry ingredients in a blender until they reduce to a coarse meal. Use 1/4 cup of meal, add enough yoghurt to make a paste and add in the lavender. Mix until combined. . Rub all over yourself in circular motions, kneading and knuckling into your skin. Leave on the skin for 5-10min before showering off.

17.01.2022 New Nimbin Pyramid Candles are now in stock and available on my website. Nimbin Candles derived from the need to supply a Non-Toxic, slow burning, smokeless candle, which could be burnt in confined spaces such as caravans, tents, tepees etc, to the local community that had expanded after the Aquarius Festival in the early eighties. Nimbin Candles contain no animal products and are made using the age-old method of dipping each individual wick continuously to create a perfect ...taper. Only the highest grade paraffin wax is used, the same wax used in food processing such as greaseproof paper, wrapping cheeses etc... The dyes used are vegetable dyes, the same used in batik art. Truly stunning pieces with the pyramid representing the form of the physical body emerging from the earth and ascending towards the light of the sun. If you would like one of these candles please head over to: ancienthippy.com.au to place an order. If you would like to request a specific colour choice, orders can be taken to suit your requirements. I am very proud to be a retailer for the Nimbin Candle Factory and supporting small businesses during these current uncertain times.

16.01.2022 Yesterday I experienced this!! It was during a massage session in a holistic and healing new work space. For a split second during the treatment I was giving, my mind focused on the surroundings and it caught me off guard...in a good way. I was in a natural therapies centre, working as a therapist to help heal others and create wellbeing. It brought an instant smile to my face, a sense of 'home' in my soul, and a deep rooted gratitude for everything that lead me to that very... second. I momentarily closed my eyes and said 'thank you', to the universe, to the natural therapies centre itself, to my guides, and to myself, for allowing the journey, and trusting that I am exactly where I need to be. That warm glow in my heart returned when I returned to myself and my calling. I had neglected who I was for a few years and my body and soul definitely let me know!! It's a gift loving what you do and receiving affirmations like this is a beautiful reminder of who you are meant to be. See more

15.01.2022 A basic yet interesting video (under 5 min) on stress and its effect on your brain - well worth a watch when we all have a little more time at the moment (and possibly a little more stress in our lives). Reversing the stressors in our lives through exercise and meditation, can ultimately reverse the epi-genetic changes that can be passed down through generations...not one of the greatest genetic gifts we need to be re-producing and passing on to our future generations! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuyPuH9ojCE&feature=youtu.be

14.01.2022 How are you looking into your phone, tablet or laptop right now? Creating constant awareness and re-adjusting throughout the day will stop potential musculoskeletal issues and the ailments associated with them, like headaches, migraines, lower back pain, neck pain, limited flexibility etc... Right now we have the time to dissolve into our devices without thought or effort, making it a real pitfall for our postural health. Try and check in with yourself on the hour and if you notice those around you falling into this unhealthy pattern, create awareness for them too. The last thing anyone needs right now is to develop long-term health issues whilst were trying to avoid another health crisis currently happening all around us. Stay safe, healthy and alert

13.01.2022 Every day we go to school, the school of life. We dont always get it right and some things we need to learn over and over again, where as others might blitz those areas of life in which we struggle. We get it right, we get it wrong and we never get 100% on everything, every day. Some days we might not even feel like going to school to face the consequences of a failed exam or even just taking in something new into our already jam-packed brains! Its O.K. to truant withou...t justification every now and then! Just like the injustice of judging kids at school who seem to struggle, we shouldnt judge adults either. We all make mistakes and we will all continue to do so. We are all growing, learning and developing together, just at different paces, using different styles, different teachers and in different areas...and thats O.K.!! Enjoy the play time, eat healthy recognise your fortes and embrace the continued learning experience of life. See more

13.01.2022 There is nothing more I love doing than making my own health and wellbeing products. Todays session was making homemade hand sanitiser..seeing as though it can be quite scarce to purchase at the moment. All you need is an aloe plant, witch hazel, and some antibacterial essential oils- I have used Fragonia, Lemongrass and Peppermint. Carefully extract 100gm of aloe flesh from the leaves, and blend with 4 tablespoons of witch hazel and 5 drops each of the essential oils...! Then strain and using a pipette or funnel, pour your sanitiser into bottles. This made 6x 15ml bottles full!! One is being sent to my Mother who is over 80, one is for my own therapy room , two are for my husbands work with a small office full of staff one will go to my daughter who is in the front line of the health system working as a nurse and the other to my son, who works in retail and handles customers computers/laptops all day and we all know they are capable of harbouring more germs than toilet seats! Again, I give thanks and respect to Mother Nature for her abundant pantry of natural medicine See more

11.01.2022 Day 5 of 7 - Chronic Pain Awareness. . Here are 5 myths & truths about chronic pain. . 1. Medication is the only thing that helps:... . Chronic pain differs from other treatable types of pain. Medication can definitely assist in treating/managing chronic pain but it is an unsustainable band-aid treatment, constantly masking the real problem. The body will slowly build a tolerance to medication & sufferers will then require heavier dosages. Whilst in the meantime, the medication is altering the homeostasis of the body's systems, causing all types of other adverse reactions. . 2. Pain is proportionate to the damage: . The severity of pain experienced does not reflect the severity of the damage causing the pain. It's a highly complex system & severe pain can be experienced from relativity benign issues. . 3. Chronic pain sufferers are addicted to pain meds: . There is a real stigma against those taking pain medication, especially opioid based. Yes, opioids are stronger & highly addictive, but they are administered & monitored by health professionals in conjunction with an in-depth management plan, which reduces the risk of addiction & allows better control over medications. . 4. There needs to be a physical cause for chronic pain: . Arthritis & back pain are thought to be the most common types of chronic pain due to physical damage, but it's not that simple. Chronic pain is an invisible disability & doesn't always have a specific physical area that it affects. . 5. You seem fine so you must be fine: . Long-term sufferers have become excellent at disguising their pain, however this can be detrimental to their own wellbeing as it reduces the validity of the severity of the pain, not just for others but for themselves. Sufferers need to voice their pain! . #chronicpainawareness #chronicpain #chronicpainmyths #chronicpaintruths #painwarrior #beheard #youhaveavoice #nostigma #dontjudge #voiceyourpain #occipitalneuralgia #trigeminalneuralgia #understandme #wehatemeds #dailybattle #supportpain #day5 #fibromyalgia #arthritis #backpain #migraines #nervepain #painmangement #creatingawareness #painadvocate #chronicpainadvocate #heretohelp #besupportive #chronicpainsufferer See more

11.01.2022 Oh my goodness me...I have to honestly say that the Goddess Bath Bombs made yesterday are absolutely DIVINE!! They fizzed beautifully, hypnotically dissolving in a slow, peaceful, relaxing timeframe, releasing flowers, petals and buds of Chamomile, Lavender and Roses, whilst slowly allowing the sense of smell to be captivated and lulled to serenity by the delicate scent of Lavender, Roman Chamomile and Rose Geranium essential oils. The coconut oil compnent just lusciously ...coated my skin as I laid there in the pretty pale pink water, surrendering into the indulgent moment, and in a blissful state of peace. Im extremely happy at the finished product! I dont think there is anything I would change about them...I now just need to get some packaging and the Goddess Bath Bombs will be ready to dissolve their feminine beauty into your bath times. The oils chosen are not only divine to the senses, but their relaxing, peaceful and tranquil properties will enhance the relaxation experience and heighten your senses to a heavenly paradise. My skin feels silky smooth and soft, and it smells so incredibly divine - I am so excited to soon being able to share these with you! #ancienthippy #bathbombs #rosegeranium #lavender #romanchamomile #flowersinthebath #goddess #divinefemininity #silkysmooth #luscious #heavenly #rosepetals #lavenderbuds #chamomileflowers #bathlikeagoddess #relax #indulge #aromatherapy #essentialoils #divine #soexcited #trialrun #wouldntchangeathing #pink #pinkbath #delicate #serenity #selfindulgent #homemade #organic See more

10.01.2022 What is Premarin? This really saddens me and unless I was studying this, I probably would never have known. It is a drug used for Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). It is classed and promoted as a natural oestrogen supplement...but what we are not told is that the oestrogen is extracted from a pregnant mares urine. Many consumers are completely unaware of the cruel and inhumane treatment these horses endure. They are often kept in narrow stalls with a permanent catheter ...or urine collecting harness for 6 months. If thats not heartbreaking enough, many of the foals born are sent to be slaughtered as they are considered a by-product of this industry. Please, speak to your Doctors and ask for alternative treatments if you need HRT, treatments that do not support this despicable and utterly heart breaking industry. We can all make a difference.

09.01.2022 Unfortunately, Ancient Hippy will be closing its doors temporarily as of today, as advised by the Association of Massage Therapists, due to the Coronavirus. Whilst Ancient Hippy practices a high standard of health and safety control measures at all times, we are also at risk of potentially contracting the virus from a client who is unaware they have the virus and then spreading it to other clients, due to the close proximity of our business. Ancient Hippy will advise when we will re-open but at this stage we will be closed up until 30th March. Sincere apologies to all of my clients who have current bookings in place. I will endeavour to be as flexible as possible when we re-open again to ensure you get an appointment at a day/time that suits you. Stay safe and healthy everyone.

08.01.2022 Day 2 of sharing information about Fascia - the Human Spider Web! The easiest way to put fascia into context is to liken it to a spiders web. Imagine this web is perfect & healthy, with continuous moisture droplets from its outside environment. The spider maintains the web to keep it strong & sustainable. This web covers everything inside our body, every cell, muscle, fibre, nerve, bone, organ etc. It protects & holds everything in place whilst the environment around it... nurtures & nourishes it & keeps it healthy. If the environment starts to become polluted, the web will become dry & hold some of the pollutants within its structure. This can cause mild damage/strain on these fibres, which has a light domino effect outwards & causes headaches for the spider. If there is overuse of one area of the web, the fibres will start to weaken, lose structure & potentially tear or restrict around its structure. If there is an incision made anywhere in the web, it effects the surrounding fibres, they are left unsupported & vulnerable. When the fibres are mended, there is mending tissue that pulls tight on the fibres that were incised to come together. This tightness has an over lengthening/tightening effect on the rest of the web. The connections of the web to its structure become strained. The spider is having to work extra hard now to keep the web from further damage. Some of the tight fibres start sticking together as they have no elastin in them to adapt to structural change, forming unbreakable connections & further long-term damage to the web. Maintenance is a must - day in, day out for this spider & his web to continue for it to remain effective. So many factors can effect the health of our fascia. Its important to consider this incredible component of our bodies with how we care for it & the environment we create for it, day in, day out. . Stay hydrated, healthy & move your whole body equally, refraining from toxins, overuse, underuse & ultimately injury. Your human spider web is here to protect you! . #humanspiderweb #connectivetissue #fascia #heretoprotectyou #stayhealthy #dailymaintenance #nourish #nurture

08.01.2022 Due to the current health restrictions and taking steps cautiously into our future, I am only taking one massage booking per day, which means that I am getting booked out very quickly. This week has shown me just how much of an essential service massage is to people. Its not just the physical healing, its the mental and emotional responses that go hand in hand with the physical healing. Massage connects you on a holistic level, allowing you to be completely in the moment to... get to know and understand what is trapped and stored within you. This current pandemic has created stress on so many levels. People working from home (as an example) are physically adapting to new work spaces that may not be as ergonomically set up as they would be in the office environment. This is where massage can help restore your balance and treat / heal any new aches and pains that have started rearing their heads over the past few weeks and can help relieve anxieties and fears associated with them. Being stressed creates pain. Being in pain creates stress. As soon as the restrictions ease a little more, I will open up more appointments...but taking these small steps = reduced risks for your health and mine. See more

07.01.2022 Day 4 of 7 - Chronic Pain Awareness. . Chances are that you know someone that lives with a chronic pain condition - 1 in 5 people do. Look around you & have a guess at who may be a sufferer? Chances are you won't know as it is an invisible condition. . This person may not have had an injury to cause the pain condition, but pain persists because of long term changes within the neurological system. Sometimes pain develops without any readily identifiable pathology. When this ...is the case, it can be an extremely difficult condition to accept, & this can lead to a decline in their mental & emotional health. . Chronic pain currently affects the majority in the age bracket of 45+ in Australia, with demographics showing that 86.77% are women, 12.16% are men, 0.08% are transgender, 0.66% are other, & 0.33% prefer not to say. . There are over 100,000 hospitilisations involving chronic pain every year. G.P.s are seeing more people for chronic pain & patient encounters have risen by 67% over 10 years! . Chronic pain can affect a person's use of health care, ability to work, exercise & socialise. They are more likely to experience mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, sleep disturbances & fatigue. . In a recent survey from Chronic Pain Australia, 70% of sufferers reported stigma & negative attitudes towards their conditions. Some examples were: . *people expecting you to have normal behaviour; . *physicians stating that chronic pain did not cause disabilities; . *being made to feel like you are not doing enough to manage pain & that somehow you are responsible for the pain; . *people believe that because chronic pain can't be seen, it permits judgement on the degree & debilitation of the pain. . *inability to socialise & people's reactions of negativity to invitation refusals. . *taking unnecessary medications & becoming an addict. . Chronic pain is debilitating and exhausting, and it takes courage and strength to 'cope' each day. If you know someone living with chronic pain, please check in & let them know you are there to support them. . #chronicpainawareness #chronicpain #invisibleillness #dailybattle #coping #stigma #chronicpainsufferer See more

06.01.2022 I'm two days late in sharing this...but sharing all the same, on behalf of all of the Occipital Neuralgia warriors out there. Keep fighting, keep positive, keep hopeful

06.01.2022 Definitely worth a share this one, whether it relates to mental, emotional or physical sufferings.

05.01.2022 Whilst I've been out of action for the past two weeks recovering from a procedure, I have done nothing but think about the business. I've been studying and making these beautiful little bath bombs - Rose Geranium, Lavender and Roman Chamomile. They contain organic essential oils amd dried flowers - All natural and organic ingredients that smell amazing!!... After doing a couple of trial soaks in the bath, ahhhhh I love testing body products, and getting the mixture to perfection, these beautiful bombs will be available to purchase. #bathbombs #homemade #naturalandorganic #essentialoils #aromatherapy #newproduct #bodybliss #divine #feminine #lovewhatido #rosegeranium #lavender #romanchamomile #soothing #relaxing #ancienthippy

05.01.2022 End of an era. Ancient Hippy has officially closed its doors at The Gap, the birthplace of where this story began. This room was a blessing and the perfect start-up room for the business. The clients that have come into my home have been beautiful, and the whole experience of not only treating my clients but getting to know them has been sensational. When one door closes, another opens...well in my case two new doors are opening: 1. My new home-based therapy room, and 2. My new journey and position working at the Bardon Counselling and Natural Therapies Centre. Thank you to everyone that has so kindly supported Ancient Hippy to date, it has been a beautiful journey and first chapter, and I look forward to seeing as many of my clients, plus new faces in my two new locations. New beginnings

04.01.2022 Taking some time out to recharge and escape the recent confines, supporting local businesses and soaking up a much needed change of scenery in this beautiful Queensland so called winter weather. @ Noosa National Park

04.01.2022 We should make time at least one day of every week to spoil ourselves with something that feels good and has a long lasting and therapeutic effect. My client has chosen a silky smooth foot relaxation massage using hot stones and hemp oil, with lavender, peppermint and ylang ylang essential oils. A warm, soothing and nourishing indulgence to relieve tired feet from the week that was, and to relax and rejuvenate for the week ahead. Soft, slow, nurturing strokes using war...m scented oils and stones, penetrating every muscle, tendon, ligament and nerve in the feet. Low, warm lights, gentle and soothing meditation music with calming essential oils diffusing in the background for a complete therapeutic experience. A foot massage not only makes your feet feel great, but by stimulating the reflex points and meridian channels, it has an effect on the overall body, stimulating, invigorating and revitalising our organs, glands and circulation. When was the last time you treated yourself to an experience that is so powerful in its effect and holistically indulgent? #essentialoils #footmassage #indulgent #relaxation #sundaypampering #hempoil #aromatherapy #ancienthippy #stimulating #invigorating #revitalising #nurturing #therapeutic #treatyourself #maketime #organicexperience

02.01.2022 Day 7 of 7 - Chronic Pain Awareness. . How are you all feeling today? I have had a rough start but improving as the day goes on. . Triggers for me are long car rides, speed bumps, bright lights and noise...and I endured all of those this morning which led me to a massive flare up where my pain level went from waking up with a 4-5, up to a 8-9 within the first 25min of sitting in a hospital clinic room with bright lights that seared into my retinas. I sat there with tears jus...t streaming down my face, head feeling electrified, and my specialist had to switch the light off so I could try and communicate. . As soon as I came home, it was a heat pack and sleep, with a pillow over my eyes until the pain reduced. . This is just one example of how chronic pain affects me. I was lucky to have the loving support of my husband there with me today, holding my hand and driving me to the appointment. I am so appreciative and thankful to everyone who assists me with my pain. I couldn't have driven home if I had gone by myself today, or if I did, I would have been a hazard on the road. . A support network is critical for us sufferers. There are some things that we just cannot do without you - simple, daily, mundane things. . Here is a shoutout to our support networks, thank you! You are our angels and our saviours. Your role isn't easy, we acknowledge that completely, and wish with our soul that you didn't have to wear these shoes. My shoutout for today goes to Daniel Barclay! .

01.01.2022 Ancient Hippy is moving! My little home therapy business is currently located in The Gap in Queensland until late November, but will be moving to Jindalee in Queensland (still as a home based therapist) from early December. Set dates around closing and opening times will be given closer to the crazy moving days ahead. This is very bittersweet news as I am so grounded and embedded here in The Gap and have the most amazing clientele I could ever ask for. Moving is a very big d...eal for me on a personal scale, and professionally moving is always risky for a business, especially where a business is only face to face and hands on. The thought of having to start again is very daunting, I'm not going to lie...but my clients have been so supportive and encouraging, and seem to be more than happy to still come for their appointments, despite the additional time driving! So it now doesnt feel like 'starting again', it just feels like a change, a transition, and stepping outside of your comfort zone is always a time for growth! I am incredibly speechless, grateful, humbled, supremely blessed and appreciative beyond words, and it certainly makes me feel more at ease and less stressed about moving suburbs. The personalised/private messages I have received from my clients has moved me deeply. Thank you to everyone for your astounding support and I promise to keep striving forwards with my therapies and studies to be the best therapist I can be for you and your health and wellness needs. I am so blessed, so so blessed! xx Toni xx
