25.01.2022 One of my core values as a person and also as a Naturopath is gentleness . It’s always been something I’ve valued and been drawn to, and I’ve noticed more and more over the past few years especially that I am drawn to gentle people, I like gentle colours, enjoy gentle music etc Part of this is my nature, I have always been this way and I guess it’s in my DNA as my parents were both gentle people. Because of this I was treated gently growing up which I appreciated grew t...o value in myself and others I think another reason that I value gentleness is because I’m sensitive I have a sensitive Nervous System so strong things can bombard it and overwhelm it. I used to think it was a drawback being sensitive because I’m very sensitive to other people’s energies but now I see it as my superpower because it means I can pick up subtle changes - and I find that the more gentle I am with my NS and the more I look after my whole self, the more I can pick up smaller and smaller energies and the more and more subtle feelings I experience which brings me a greater depth of joy In my work as a Naturopath I believe in gentle treatments - obviously as a Herbalist that means using gentle natural and herbal remedies rather than strong chemicals, but even within that it looks like using the gentler remedies (I don’t use essential oils as a rule because I find them too strong), using lower doses when less is enough, using gentle remedies like Bach Flowers and homeopathic remedies when indicated and not overwhelming people with too many supplements. It also means sometimes delaying targeted treatment until we support the body as a whole to be ready for that, and providing the body with what it needs and allowing it to heal rather than exerting our will onto the body (even if that will is well intentioned) I’d love to hear if you feel like you’re sensitive or have a sensitive nervous system or if that has changed over the years? And if you resonate with wanting a more gentle approach then reach out, I’d love to support you (gently) Jo

25.01.2022 Sitting in my garden today doing self care via grounding and mindfulness and so I thought I would share a mindfulness technique

24.01.2022 Today I was featured in a live interview for Newcastle Health Collective. We talked about my underlying philosophy in the work I do and what sets me apart from other Naturopaths (as we are all beautifully different ). I also talk about some of the techniques I use to look into the different layers of healing including the emotional connection to our physical symptoms Enjoy and feel free to message me for further info.

21.01.2022 Today’s thoughts... let’s all take this time to dream our new normal

21.01.2022 I've been doing a lot of thinking and inner work lately and I'm starting to come back out of my "cave" feeling ready to share with you all again One of the many things I've ruminated on is the kind of world I want to live in. I believe that one of the beautiful benefits of this huge COVID year is that it's a big shake-up and opportunity for change both personally and on a global scale. It's a great time to really think about what parts of our life we want to keep or let go... of, and on a global scale to stand up for change I believe if we hold a vision of the world we want to create then we can hold space for that reality and walk towards it. I've been holding space for the kind of world I want to live in every day, and also for the human I want to show up as in that world I'm feeling called to share my vision with you. I believe in a world where there is true connection between people, each other, with ourselves and with Mother Earth. Where people innately and naturally love and trust and look after themselves, and trust their own inner guidance, their bodies and each other. Where we have no need or desire to give our power away to other people, to institutions, authority figures or medical professionals, but instead tune in to and trust our own higher wisdom and body wisdom. Where we can choose to work with a trusted medical professional to respectfully guide and offer their wisdom and experience while having our choices and inner wisdom respected, and also having health freedom. Where our leaders lead with courage and kindness, and with thought to the impact of decisions several generations into the future. Where we all work together to look after each other, ourselves and the Earth. Where food is whole, fresh, unprocessed and free from toxins, as are the waterways and all of the Earth. Where nobody is afraid to speak their truth or be uniquely completely themselves. Where we know that our bodies are a reflection of not just our physical health but also our mental, emotional and spiritual health. Where status, wealth, achievement and physical appearance aren’t as important as inner beauty, truth and true connection. Where we all have innate body sovereignty, health freedom, equality, self trust, self care, personal responsibility for health and healing, and a belief in the body’s innate healing ability. What kind of world do you believe in? Jo xx

07.01.2022 I was interviewed this week about Naturopathy for Newcastle Health Collective’s series on all the modalities they offer. We started talking about Naturopathy generally and then about the way I personally like to practice: I love to treat the body gently, take time to explore what’s going on, and to support my clients to uncover and release the emotional layers under their physical symptoms.... Have a listen and let me know - do you think your emotions play a role in your physical health? Jo

I look forward to using this with clients from next week. Any questions feel free to message me
