24.01.2022 Have you ever cooked teeny tiny quail eggs?
23.01.2022 Guilt is an emotion that can creep up on us. You may be noticing this is amplified at the moment where there has been such a huge shift in the way we are living our day to day lives. This emotion is one of the most common themes that arise when I conduct Reiki healings. Guilt that we should be doing more with our kids and partners. Guilt that we cant visit our loved ones that we know are alone. Guilt that we are relying on others to do our shopping. Guilt that we should be ...exercising more. Guilt that we should be getting more projects done at home. Guilt that we not earning enough. Today, become aware of any feelings of guilt you may have. Catch yourself when you are feeling this way, be gentle on yourself and know you are doing your best. Lets affirm together, I lovingly forgive myself and know I am doing my best Please share this with anyone you feel needs to hear this message today. Many blessings of health and love, Tess xx
23.01.2022 So much excitement checking if our carrots were ready!! this is my first successful crop of carrots, grown from seed and growing very happily and healthily amongst the chickweed and stinging nettle. Very rewarding
22.01.2022 Lets continue to support our small businesses and local farmers markets! Not only are you shopping out in the open fresh air, purchasing freshly picked produce (as opposed to being in dipped in chemicals/put in cold storage for who knows how long) vibrant and therefore full of optimum nutrition, many of the farmers are certified organic and biodynamic so you are also supporting Mother Earth ...and you can find many treasures you just wont find in supermarket chains Truffles a gorgeous delicacy, served simply grated or shaved over scrambled eggs. Or homemade pasta. Store for up to 2 days in an airtight jar with eggs to infuse the flavour. Any tiny leftover bits and pieces can be placed in a clean jar with EV olive oil and allowed to infuse in a cool dark place for a week or 2. delicious decadence
21.01.2022 To pay it forward After a client cancelled an appointment today they very generously asked that they not be refunded and that their payment be used to help someone in need of healing. I gave my word I would honour their wish. This is a time where many of us are facing financial challenges and as such, I have already reduced my rates significantly to take this into account. If financial challenges are the only thing in your way of booking in for a distance healing, then ple...ase accept this gift from a stranger. As I run both IG and Facebook accounts, I have decided to share this gift among 2 recipients (1 from Instagram and one from Facebook) to each receive a distance Magnified Healing for a payment of $40 (valued at $160). PRIVATE MESSAGES ONLY. YOU MAY ONLY BOOK FOR YOURSELF, BOOKINGS FOR OTHERS WILL NOT BE TAKEN. It will go to the first person to send a private message. The healing session will need to be booked today. There is one space available this evening, Thursday 27/8 at 8pm, and one space available tomorrow evening, Friday 28/8 at 8pm. Please see my earlier post to find out more about Magnified Healingand whether it is right for you.

20.01.2022 Me trying to upload a video for you all for the past 24hrs...seriously tech challenged!
19.01.2022 I hold an image of being able to conduct in person healing sessions again in the near future, but for now all healings at Inspire to Nourish are via distance only. These healings are by no means inferior and in the past I have used this method of sending healing for people who are quite unwell either in hospital or unable to travel for healing. I am now able to offer this service to all new and existing clients so that I can continue to bring much needed healing to many. New... service Group Magnified Healing sessions (sent via distance) now available on Thursday evenings to gently guide you through any challenges you may be facing. Magnified Healing connects us to our creator and pure unconditional love, it heals the heart, balances our nervous system, our chakras and clears energetic blocks. Group sessions are $50 per person and include a follow up message with guidance about your healing. Limited places are still available for tonight 8pm. Individual distance reiki and Magnified Healing sessions are still available by appointment. I have reduced the regular price of these sessions to $80 for the duration of these restrictions. This includes a follow up phone call with guidance about your healing. Message or call to book your place. Contact details in bio. In love and light, Tess
18.01.2022 Thank for visiting beautiful Tawny frogmouth for the past three nights Ive heard your call as I drift off to sleep, but you are such a master of camouflage its so hard to find you. Thank you for the reminder to strengthen my connection with nature. No matter how dark it may seem, nature is always working to maintain the perfect balance.
16.01.2022 oh little monkey you need some more exciting ideas!
15.01.2022 How could I not buy them? Jerusalem artichokes...if youve ever eaten them, youll get the joke support your local @melbournefarmersmarkets - shop outdoors, freshest produce and have a much needed laugh
15.01.2022 Well they say lifes too short to stuff a mushroom...but what else would you do with this one? Fun fact- did you know mushrooms are a source of vitamin D? They synthesise Vitamin D in a similar way humans do -via UVB rays from sunlight so as absurd as this sounds, exposing your mushrooms to sunlight before cooking will increase their vitamin D content. Other great dietary sources of vitamin D are liver, beef, eggs, fatty fish and fish roe. #foodismedicine #vitamind #mushrooms #nourishyourbody
15.01.2022 whilst watering my seedlings in the greenhouse this morning a dingy swallowtail butterfly was trying to escape. It walked onto my hand and ended up staying there for a long time. It was a very special moment, the dingy swallowtail butterfly always comes to me to communicate loving messages from the Divine. See my stories for the rescue mission
14.01.2022 And heres the finished creation. The mushroom is stuffed, and now so is my tummy kind of a frittata inside, eggs, home made salami (sub free range bacon) black olives, organic feta, parsley, Thyme salt and pepper Baked on 180 for 45 mins (if using smaller mushies they wont need so long).
14.01.2022 From death comes new beginnings. The silver birch tree symbolises new beginnings. Although we mourned the day our beautiful tree was cut down due to disease, its new form serves us and the earth in new ways. Some of her branches have kept us warm by fuelling the fire throughout the cold winter days, some returned to the earth to feed the microbes and fungi some was crafted into handmade and unique one off pieces. This beautiful entrance table was created by my amazingly ...talented husband and breathes new life into what was once considered gone. Even the veins where disease once travelled add beauty and character to this piece. Although all that lives will eventually die, nothing is ever truly gone, it only changes form. Today lets remember to give gratitude for this divine process that is all around us. How can we let go of parts of us that are old, dis-eased and no longer serve us, and breathe in new beginnings and nourish our bodies, minds, souls and Mother Earth? See more
13.01.2022 Why I love gardening and its link with benefits to our mental health and immune system
13.01.2022 Acknowledge your feelings without judgement. This week Ive felt overwhelmed, exhausted and a failure. Ive had a few baddays. And Ive found myself judging those feelings, trying to move them aside because Im too busy for this, rather than just sitting with those feelings. Being still is uncomfortable but allows us the space to listen to the real message our bodies and soul are trying to communicate. ... For me, its all too much trying to be perfect right now-full time study, exam prep, assessments coming out of my arse and full time parenting on top of trying to organise home learning for 2 primary school kids ... But the real message is take care of yourself. Wheres the me in all that? I havent been listening to myself, instead placing more and more expectations of how I should be coping, how I should be feeling and judging myself for shouting at the kids to stop fighting every 5 minutes and telling them to leave me alone and go watch a movie. Today I let go of expectations and prioritise self care. Let it go as easily as the autumn leaves fall from the trees. If this resonates for you, Im sending love and blessings your way Ps I almost burnt our lunch writing this its all good Tess xx
13.01.2022 How are you all doing today? Ive been thinking of you and sending much needed love and healing out. I feel like Ive been busier than ever (despite not working) and Ive been quietly trying to find my feet as we all ride this storm. There have been days and moments where Ive felt really angry, scared, overwhelmed and helpless. And then I get pissed off with myself for feeling that way! Come on Tess, youre always positive -this is a great thing how annoying is that vo...ice when youre already angry! Years of self healing and self care have given me many tools to draw on in these moments. And never before have we been given a greater opportunity to nourish ourselves on all levels. Rather than wishing this to be over, Ive felt this time is a time to retreat inwards and really listen to our souls calling. A time where we need to be our own best friend, take good care of ourselves and become empowered about our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. This is a time to practice gratitude for what I have. A time to source the most nourishing foods for me and my family. A time to find new ways to move my body. A time to go to bed with the sun and wake up with the birds. A time to connect more with Mother Earth. A time to play with my children and teach them life skills I find important. A time to reach out and practice kindness to strangers. A time to find new ways to connect with those we love. A time to research new ways to heal dis-ease in my body. A time to create and imagine. A time to practice patience. And a time to strengthen my faith and trust in the plan far greater than my own. And this is how Im surviving and riding the storm, my growing collection of practices to nourish my body, mind and soul. I hope to do more than just survive and cope during this time. My intention is to use this time to grow and learn more about myself. What will you do for yourself today?
11.01.2022 The time to heal is now. The time to heal Mother Earth is now. Mother Earth offers love in abundance, right now she needs to heal more than ever The answer to allowing the great healing to place is not necessarily about giving money or any external source and the answer is simpler than you think. ... What we are experiencing right now on the earth plane is a reflection of our own wounds being brought to our awareness, ready to be healed. Healing Mother Earth requires nothing more than you already hold within. The answer lies in healing our own wounds. For example are you noticing the toxins being released in the atmosphere? Are there toxins in your own inner world affecting your health? Toxic thoughts, toxic foods, toxic relationships etc As we start to heal, so does Mother Earth and humanity. As we nourish ourselves physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually, we Nourish Mother Earth so that she may continue to provide love and nurture us in abundance. Are you ready to heal? Your soul is calling you forward Love and light always, Tess Photo credit - my kiddos
10.01.2022 Perfectly crispy sweet potato fries straight out of the oven. Using amazing biodynamic sweet potatoes from @saveoursoil check my insta stories to see how I whipped these up for the boys lunchbox today
09.01.2022 The boys requested hot cross pancakes today I never quite know what will happen but I can never say no to a challenge! Whilst these are not quite Instagram worthy in appearance, the taste was amazing and warm and cozy with lots of cinnamon, texture was soft and pillowy, and of course it was a bit of fun! I did wing it with these so apologies theres no exact recipe ...Maybe by next Easter I can have a proper recipe for you all! But what I really would love for today is... to inspire you all to get creative in the kitchen I love how children are so imaginative and they can so easily think up new ideas, lets take a leaf out of their (cook)book! I literally made these out of whatever I had in the pantry. At the moment if we run out of something we just make do with what we have on hand and Im sure many of you are in the same position! But this is how new recipes are created and if it doesnt work you will still eat it So, theres some arrowroot, almond butter, psyllium husks, a little coconut sugar, baking powder, and lots a cinnamon (and just plain water to blend). If you want to recreate them make favourite allergy friendly pancake batter add in a tablespoon of cinnamon, maybe some currants and orange zest too (that would have been nice ) Rather than frying them I lined a baking tray (no oil) and spooned out the mixture, then drizzled the crosses over the top. The crosses are just flour and water. Make a little paste and pipe them on, or if youre a bit rustic like me I just did it with a spoon. Have fun and tag me if you make some Tess xx See more
09.01.2022 Making compostable seedling pots out of newspaper
08.01.2022 My kids eat soooo many bananas they rarely get too ripe in our house - but when they do, what can you do with them? Dont waste them! Banana cake/banana bread comes to mind - but what about something quick? The easiest recipe for pancakes, 1 mashed ripe banana 1 egg Mix it all up really well and fry spoonfuls in coconut oil for yummy grain, dairy and sugar free pancakes ... I also love to freeze overripe bananas and use them in smoothies or nice cream to add a naturally sweet taste and creamy texture You could even get all fancy and make these banana pancakes with nice cream, sprinkled with toasted pecans, a dusting of warming cinnamon and drizzled with a little pure maple syrup. Whats your favourite banana recipe?
07.01.2022 Did you ever lose that childlike innocence and curiosity? When did it happen? Was it the day you lovingly picked a bunch of flowers in your garden and was laughed at for picking weeds? Children see the magic in making a wish on a dandelion and spreading its magic and medicine across the earth but at what point did our minds become conditioned to see these as a weed? An unsightly weed that needs to be destroyed at all cost? An eyesore, a mess, a threat to survival of o...ther plants? What if we were taught that these were an abundant source of food? What if we were taught that the roots of this plant had an affinity to the liver (and even makes a delicious coffee substitute)? What if we were taught that the leaves of this plant had an affinity to the kidneys (and can be used in teas, salads and cooked just like spinach)? What if we were taught that it energetically can assist us in releasing what no longer serves and move forward with purpose and clarity? What if we were taught that we live in an infinitely abundant world were scarcity and competition do not actually exist? Where nature always maintains the perfect balance and provides all that we need. When was it that we became conditioned to think a certain way that we forgot all this wisdom? See more
06.01.2022 Spring Equinox blessings where day and night are perfectly balanced and we move into more light with longer days Natures time to celebrate an abundance of growth and new life following the slow pace and darkness of winter.
03.01.2022 Ive witnessed so much kindness going on at the moment. Its truly beautiful to see. Are you using this time to make the extra effort to be kind to yourself too? Remind yourself, you are doing your very best and please be kind to yourself
03.01.2022 Have you stopped to consider what kind of world you want to live in? Or are you too busy fighting what you dont want and creating divisiveness? Are you running things through your own intuition or looking through the lens of others? How can we dissolve the energy of divisiveness based on fear and anger, to create a world based on the energy of love
03.01.2022 The decision to ban Victorian Farmers markets was overturned last night. Please get out today and support our local Victorian producers, farmers markets ARE OPEN. Fresh open air shopping, your produce is picked and handled only by the farmers and stall holders. See Melbourne farmers markets and Vic Farmers markets for your nearest location in Victoria and get out there today. If people in other states can please post links to their farmers markets that would be great. ... I have also posted some links to small businesses and farmers I follow on Instagram so if you follow me there please check those out. you may be able to shop directly and organise delivery where available. And please post links to great businesses you support on Facebook in the comments below. Although I am thrilled that a sensible decision was reached late last night, it must be said that this was the result of immense pressure from many people and I am grateful to all those who stood up and worked very hard to ensure that we are able to continue supporting businesses that practice ethically with respect to Mother Earth. Since lockdown in Victoria first happened there have been many farmers markets were closed. The fact that there were a handful open was only through lobbying from relevant groups. I ask the question, was the threat of closure of small farmers markets really about protecting our health? I make no apologies in saying that this makes no sense. Food is the foundation of our health. Access to fresh organic food. Direct contact with the growers of our food-People who walk the path of being custodians of our Earth and bringing health to our soil as opposed to raping our land with agricultural chemicals, artificial fertilisers and GM crops causing disease and drought in our soil. These are the people offering products full of life force as opposed to being stored in long storage and wrapped in sickly plastic. We must realise that our health is so intricately connected to the health of our planet and support the small businesses who work so hard to ensure we have access to this food. Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.

02.01.2022 You are allowed to slow down. Right now, theres a quite a profound message for all of us to slow down and be still. Today allow yourself rest. Resting is not doing nothing. Being still is not wasting time. Today, give your body mind and soul just what it needs. Pick up a book youve been wanting to read and start turning the pages.... Make yourself a cup of loose leaf tea in a teapot and notice the gorgeous smells as it brews. Sit outside wrapped in a blanket and notice the stillness and sounds around you. Light a fire and feel its warmth and get lost in the crackling sounds. Watch your favourite movie. Draw, paint. Listen to your favourite music. Wander outside and collect some pretty autumn leaves, flowers and interesting sticks and stones. Give yourself permission to slow down today and discover what lies in the stillness.
