25.01.2022 Have a great Easter, may it be relaxing and rejuvenating. I’m taking a week off, I will be back in the office next Wednesday 7th April x

25.01.2022 One month into Covid-19.... how are you? But honestly, how are you? How has life been for you the past few weeks? How is your sleep? Your anxiety levels? Have you been having a little more alcohol than normal? What about your diet, is it better or worse? For me, initially it was a novelty to be home more, a little more Netflix time, a few too many late nights and a lot more gardening (We started a veggie patch and compost in our new home). But then I started to get more slee...py and overwhelm about the state of the world. I began to hide away from posting here. When I started to notice myself in this way, I reigned myself back to the routine that I know works for me. Early nights, early rise, exercise in morning (walks or online yoga), lots more vegetables again at each meal, simplifying things to make it easy. Creating a routine for my day. A structure to guide me through the hours alone at home. And its working for me.... whats working for you? Fill me in! I want you to know that even though you are at home, you arent alone.

25.01.2022 Ive recently been thinking about what I want to experience more of in 2020. Its like the usual New Years resolutions that happen on January 1st have only just had the space to process. Through the process of reflection of what I experienced last year, it has helped me to consider what experiences I want to bring to 2020. . Health and happiness always features highly on this list. I consider:... what exercise will I do? Am I still enjoying what I do now? What do I want to try? When will I do it? What am I eating? Is it working for me? what can I do better? What type of food am I loving? What recipes do I want to learn? My relationship: how do we currently enjoy our time together and what else can we do to enjoy more of that! My work life balance and clinical goal setting My green space time and scheduling in more nature time. The list can go on and on! . As the good old saying goes: if we dont have health then we dont have anything. Whats your goals for 2020? Is there something you really want to focus on? . I love to help people achieve their health goals. I often work with clients who experience overwhelm and are unsure where to start. Through achievable steps and goal setting you can get there. Your health journey is an opportunity for you to become more intone with the messages your body is telling you and as you learn to hear the messages and signs you will reap the rewards. I would love to assist you.

24.01.2022 Just like many of you at home, Ive been doing some baking. These GF DF hot cross buns from @teresacutter_healthychef are so delicious Ive made them twice. Once with raisins and once with blueberries (pictured). If you are vegan you can also make this with maple syrup. I left off the chocolate (Im not religious ). My favourite is the raisins. Definitely worth a try

24.01.2022 If there was ever the exact right time for an Epsom Salt bath, it would be now.

21.01.2022 I’m doing some food prep for the week. There’s something so nice about that when it’s raining outside. I plan to use these egg muffins for breakfast or a quick snack.

17.01.2022 Self Care With so much uncertainty at the moment, many of my clients are noticing an increase in their stress levels and anxiety. When life throws us curveballs we can start to feel powerless, unsure and fearful. During these times, it is essential that you try to increase your self care measures, even though its harder to do, because over time it will help reduce your stress levels. . Some strategies that I find really useful to help reduce anxiety are the following: ... Take an Epsom Salt Bath - add 2 handfuls to a bath and soak for 20minutes, add lavender essential oil for extra calm . Brew organic herbal teas to sip on across the day, my favourite is Tulsi tea which contains a herb holy Basil which is great for reducing anxiety . Sit in the sun and soak up some vitamin D . Do some yoga online (yoga with Adrienne is a favourite for many clients) . Burn essential oils in a diffuser: some oils that a calming are lavender, frankincense, sage, or uplifting and antimicrobial such the citrus, tea tree and eucalyptus . Show your home some love and do something there you have been thinking about doing for ages . Catch up on that book you have been wanting to read . Connect with loved ones, share how you are feeling. Support one another. We are all in this together . lots of hugs ( provided you feel healthy and well) . ensure you are getting adequate sleep, (7-8hrs minimum for an adult). Move mountains to make this happen if you arent . eat whole foods at every meal. Ensure at least 2 handfuls of vegetables daily! Minimum!! . practise gratitude for what you have in your life, daily. . . . . . #whatnutritionistseat #dietadvice #nutrition #naturopath #healthysnacks #health #diet #guthealth #austinmer #hurstville #wollongong #illawarra #organic #dairyfree #vegansnacks #vegan #vegetarian #anxiety #depression #adrenalexhaustion #thyroidcondition #ptsd #selfcare #happiness #selflove #ocd See more

17.01.2022 I tend towards a paleo/ keto style diet because its what works best for me. This was last nights dinner - organic lamb shepherds pie, using cauliflower on the top instead of potato. Its packed up with veggies - mushrooms, capsicum, zucchini, onions, garlic. Comfort food without a ton of carbs

15.01.2022 Both my parents have always been obsessed with plants. My father loves Native Australian flowers (mainly grevilleas) and my mother loves ferns. Its not really a surprise that I ended up as a herbalist! Ive been reflecting how as a child I never really appreciated plants but as an adult, nothing makes me more happy than a bunch of native Australian plants! A daily practise of counting your blessings and feeling grateful is one fabulous strategy for helping with mental h...ealth and depression. I love the way the paper daisies stand bright and strong, and the other one, shaped just like a pink and yellow covid image we see on the news is just wild! Just looking at these flowers uplifts me! . . . . . . . #happiness #grateful #joy #gratefullness #mentalhealth #depression #anxiety #appreciation #nativeaustralianflowers #australia #emotionalwellbeing #health See more

15.01.2022 Happy Easter I hope you can find things to appreciate in your day today despite what is going on in the world. When we appreciate what we have, we can feel a little lighter going forward. For me, being outside in nature is the ultimate pick me up, especially when Im with my loved one, foraging for Pine Mushrooms , rather than Easter eggs. #naturopathlyfe

12.01.2022 World Mental Health day Do you suffer from anxiety or depression? I understand how debilitating it can be. I work with many clients like you. People who have experienced these symptoms for their whole life. Perhaps you think natural medicines wont work for you? But the question I have is always- what have you tried and where did you buy it? Did the person prescribing it have training in nutrition and herbal medicine? There is SO MANY poor supplements on the market, clai...ming things that they dont do! As a complementary therapist, my role is to complement what you are already doing and enhance it. So if you are on medication - you can still see a Naturopath! I am very blessed to see the change natural medicine makes on peoples lives in a daily basis. It can work for you too! #mentalhealth #anxiety #depression #naturalhealth #nutrition #herbalmedicine #worldmentalhealthday #hurstville #austinmer See more

10.01.2022 I have been feeling a little uninspired about breakfast lately so I brought back into rotation a good old frittata! They are so good for busy mums and families because you can bulk cook and pack it full of vegetables ensuring breakfast, a meal often lacking in vegetables is packed to the brim! But really they are so versatile and can be used for any meal across a day. For this one, I cooked on low heat lots of brassica veg (broccoli, kalettes, and choy sum) with onions, garlic, mushrooms and zucchini. Mixed with eggs, cherry tomatoes and a sprinkle of almond milk cheese, then baked on low heat 150deg for 40 mins. Yum!

09.01.2022 Vegebox delivery, my favourite day of the week! Nothing better than having a full fridge of seasonal fruit, veggies and eggs, AND not having to go to the supermarket! Especially in this unusual time. Eating food in season means its usually cheaper, and higher in vitamins and minerals at the time that they are flourishing. Food is medicine and Ill be making sure everyone in my home is filled up on lots of vitamin C foods every day.

08.01.2022 Happy International Womens day. I feel so grateful to have so many amazing women in my life, who inspire and uplift me.

07.01.2022 Im very proud to announce that my father has been awarded an Order of Australia Medal for his service to the Australian Native Plants. We are so proud of you! The love of plants has been instilled in me from a young age. When I was 7 years old I travelled around Western Australia in a caravan, with my fathers mission to find rare, or sometimes not even logged Australian plants, to get cuttings to bring back so they wouldnt go extinct. I have wonderful memories of laying in paper daisys in the outback, and the wonderful adventures we had! Pictured here is Grevillea Oldei named after him. Today is a very proud day indeed! #australiannativeplants #grevilleas #orderofaustralia @ Sydney, Australia

05.01.2022 A great food to help increase your zinc levels is oysters. Why do we need good Zinc levels? Zinc is an essential mineral that can impact our mental health (the lower the levels the more significant the presentation of anxiety or depression), our menstrual cycle (cycle length and mood changes during the cycle), our fertility (male and female), our detoxification capacity and our gut health! Unfortunately, I find many of clients to have low to very low levels of Zinc and it...s no a wonder they are struggling. Like pharmaceutical medication, supplements should always be monitored by a trained professional and never be self prescribed. . . . . . #naturalhealthadvice #nutritionist #dietaryadvice #mentalhealth #naturopath #anxiety #depression #illawarra #wollongong #hurstville #guthealth #melanieoldenaturalhealth See more

03.01.2022 With only 5 weeks left in clinic - Christmas holidays are fast approaching. 2020 has been such a big year for us all. Personally, I have started up on some of our wonderful adrenal herbs to support me in the last few weeks of the year. If you too, would like to get back on your herbs and supplements, reach out and book your appointment before they are all gone for 2020.

03.01.2022 Personally, I find eating a gluten free, dairy free diet most of the time is what really works for my body. I feel vital, energised and keeps my diet varied and interesting. But the truth is I love dairy.it just doesnt love me :) This Cashew Cheese recipe is a favourite in our household at the moment because its so easy to make and tastes delicious. It works well on a cheese plate for vegans and dairy free eaters, is great for afternoon snack with green beans/ carrots o...r rice crackers, drizzled in a sandwich or to enhance protein meals at night. I also love that you can make in bulk, freeze into portions as it only lasts 5 days. Perfect for busy families. I have just put the recipe up on my website.
