24.01.2022 I've been looking for a new reflexology poster, and some are just plain boring ... meanwhile I came across another clever hand drawn one - how creative! All reflex pictures have variation... just like all feet have variation...and just like we as people have variation... We all have our individuality and that's the wonderful thing about life :)...

24.01.2022 10 veggies somewhat suspended in my bolognaise Kids like to play 'guess the veggies' I don't always own up to all of them though ... Because some people think they don't like zucchini, mushroom, and pumpkin Until they sneak in and trick your palate

23.01.2022 Need a few days out from the the busy-ness to take a deep breath, chill and soak up some nature and nourishment? You can have it all planned for you! My beautiful friend Glenda organises a completely tailored experience in Ubud, Bali. Giving you plenty of options, she knows just how to individualise the perfect vacay plan, made just for you. ... Check out her page People Treats, read her reviews and PM her for more info

23.01.2022 Check out this fabulous depiction of how we reflex to all the areas of the body through the feet... A reflexology session is done in sets of sequences, for example we will go along the pathway for stomach-pancreas-liver-gallbladder-sml/lrg intestines to address the digestive system. Reflexology is mostly relaxing for the recipient... though we can feel areas that need more attention and working on those sore or gritty spots with more or less pressure brings circul...ation or sedation to the corresponding areas and relief to the feet. ...That's how you feel that whole-body effect Studies show cumulative benefits of reflexology and I think for the most part it's because when you're that relaxed, the body has the chance to heal and regenerate. The effects are reported to last an average of 5 days, that's impressive. It's my favourite therapy to practice, and also favourite to receive! Have you tried it yet? What benefits have you experienced? Photo credit: Reflexologists International Council

23.01.2022 Natural Medicine Week! Nutrients, probiotics and health food tonics are natural medicine but are also part of everyday life ... Many of these goodies contain molecules that are literally essential to our survival and quality of life... I love seeing the power of nature and science that gives people better access to the health that their body is designed to have. ... See more

23.01.2022 No matter how cold outside ... It's always warm and toasty in my little practice room Body temperature drops during treatment so a warm room keeps you in the zone

23.01.2022 Happy Yummy Day Hope you've got some deliciousness coming your way today My hubby has made a Rustic Fruit Tart served with cream for our family

21.01.2022 Can I share my little go-to meal creation, perfect for when you have left-over cold rice to use... It's a kind of paella / fried rice... mostly Mediterranean but I prefer to use basmati rice because it's got a great texture... this dish pleases all four palates in this house, so I'm happy! It can be a breakfast, lunch or dinner. ... Start with frying: * onion * fresh tomatoes * mushroom Then any or all of these options: * fresh (not frozen) green or purple beans * yellow or red capsicum * grated zucchini * leafy greens such as spinach /silverbeet * garlic, oregano... chilli if you like heat You can surely get your fair whack of veggies for the day with this dish. I also use a decent amount of olive oil and butter so that things don't stick - you're getting a decent amount of fat there too. I don't find that it needs added salt, because of the halloumi and the freshness of the ingredients. Once veggies are cooked, add your rice (I love basmati), fry up and top with halloumi and serve with avocado. If halloumi is not your thing, use chicken or egg for added protein. It's about 30mins total prep + cooking and you do have to be present at the pan so that it comes together without sticking or burning. A cast iron pan gives the best results. If you have a go at making it, let me know how you like it!

19.01.2022 Pancakes with lemon and sugar... A childhood favourite of mine I love the Meyer lemons as they're so juicy and not as sour

18.01.2022 Have you tried Indian Head Massage yet? It's the best way to de-stress! Also known as Champissage, as 'Champi' means head in Indian. Anyone who loves having their head touched can benefit from this style of massage .... We use a series of relaxation techniques that incorporate many acupressure points on the head, neck, back, shoulders and face, called 'marma' points.... Benefits of Indian Head Massage are endless really... Here are some that almost anyone can experience: Increases feelings of calm and well-being during, after, and often many days after treatment Less overwhelm, increased clarity Improves ability to deal with life's daily stressors Better quality sleep Stimulates the detoxification processes Reduces aches and pains (if you have them!) And an added bonus - it's very anti-ageing if you have it regularly enough, because we are stimulating circulation to the skin's surface and to the points that increase collagen production. :D For my Kalamunda followers ... I'm up at Hills Massage on Haynes street Tuesdays and Wednesdays for Indian Head Massage and Reflexology. It's so lovely up there! (Photo credit: Butterfly Effect)

14.01.2022 Full day of learning and industry updates today

12.01.2022 Food is so personal. I know that talking about what you eat and your relationship with food can be like baring your soul. Accepting where you are, what you eat and how you feel now is the first part of the process, and then comes the inertia for change, growth... and wellness can be yours again. We can do this!

11.01.2022 Thumb-walking the 'spinal reflex'... So relaxing my demo volunteer fell asleep!

10.01.2022 Can't deal with an average salad? Me neither! A salad will only excite me if there's colour, flavour, fats, no too crunchy or chunky, and is super fresh. My nan has put mango in the salad for me since I was little and I still really love it... Have you tried it? ... No packet lettuce in sight (unless it's from the organic Roly Poly farm, they're amazing)... What's your favourite salad?

09.01.2022 Thumb-walking the 'spinal reflex'... It's so relaxing that my demo volunteer fell asleep...

06.01.2022 Yum! Leek, Potato and Cheese Souffle... Just saw Jude post it and thought yum I have to have it for lunch since I had all the ingredients. Leeks are in season and it makes it extra tasty to have good quality potatoes and eggs to make the simple flavours be the most they can be. These eggs were laid yesterday and the yolks are lovely and orange. ... It's a Delia Smith recipe, easy to google it.

06.01.2022 Love the colours of a mirepoix always the start of something yummy. The slower you cook it, the better the flavours...

06.01.2022 Local organic 48hr sourdough rye olive bread (that's literally a mouthful!) ... Just dipped in olive oil... Simple lunch... Some people have a way with bread to make it this good ... Thank you Maria @ Kellers B n B for the best bread around! (... Also, the Swiss chocolate stix... )... https://www.facebook.com/KellersBedandBreakfast/

03.01.2022 Just spent a week in Ubud, Bali with my mama... My favourite place on Earth so far This place - magical healing abilities there, so much healthy food, so much nature, Skin and eyes are clear, energy is up, stress melts away, weather is always warm, costs less than many other popular parts of Bali... food there is so rich in nutrients and flavour. Just can't get that flavour anywhere here (sorry Perth, you ain't got it). ... I go a couple of times a year as my retreat, it's not a 'holiday' it's my hobby, my time out, my self care... Many people go up to Ubud and have no idea of the hidden magic there, if you just go to the market or Monkey Forest you'll miss everything... I have a beautiful friend who offers personalised retreats for anyone who wants a piece of the real Ubud... to get the most of this wonderful place... Link to her page in the comments or PM me for her details, we want to share it with you!
