03.02.2022 In the early hours of 27 July 2012, I woke with absolute clarity of what my business name was going to be. I had been trying for months to come up with a name but none worked. But this one hit me like a bolt and as soon as it came to me, I got up and turned on my computer and registered the business name and domain. When I launched my business in November 2014, the name was included in the logo but marketing guru’s had always said to use your name as the domain, so I did.... In 2016, a few different mentors provided guidance on my website and branding and suggested I remove the name. They believed that the work I was doing, body image coaching was nothing to do with health and well-being. So I did what they suggested. After doing some work recently with another mentor this past month on balancing my masculine and feminine, I realised that this original business has power. It has a fierceness to it that I love. In the wee hours of last night, I also realised, body image coaching, self love coaching, support in recovery with eating disorders and all other challenges with food such as emotional and binge eating, IS, health and well-being. It is MENTAL, SPIRITUAL and EMOTIONAL HEALTH and WELL-BEING, and I ask you, what is more important and has more impact on your physical health and well-being than your mental, spiritual and emotional health and well-being?? So over the coming months, some re-branding will be taking place to encapsulate all of these discoveries, and include that powerful business name than woke me from my sleep over seven years ago!

29.01.2022 What a brave soul you are! You are diving for light. It can be so much simpler to seek the light in the heavenly, in that which is blissful, sweet, loving and kind. To look for the light in that which is dark is an advanced task that only a rebellious and brave heart will attempt #brave #courageous #braveheart #light #dark #shadow #lightworker Words @alana_fairchild - Sacred Rebels

22.01.2022 Recover/ You!! Since I started my business four years ago, 99% of my discovery calls with potential clients, without fail, I would get asked about my journey of recovery from bulimia, body dysmorphia and other addictions. Every one of those beautiful women wanted the magic pill. ... They wanted me to give them the easy pathway to recovery out of the mental hell they were experiencing with their eating disorder and were always disappointed that I couldn't give it to them. What I could tell them were the tools I used in my recovery. What worked for me. And what I have seen work for others. Bulimia, body dysmorphia and the associated addictions to sex and shopping, were by far the hardest things I have experienced in my life. Recovery from them is still my proudest achievement in my life. I wanted to share the tools I used, and coached others to use successfully to support others battling with an eating disorder, emotional and binge eating and other associated addictions. Recover/ You is a four week program where I share those tools, including templates and weekly video's sharing how to get the most out of those tools. Recover/ You starts on Saturday 11th May and am offering a free 45mins 1:1 coaching session to all of those that sign up and pay in full before the 11th May. Are you already on your healing journey? Are you thinking about starting your healing journey? I would be honoured for you to join to Recover, YOU! Who are you underneath the pain of the addiction? What could you be doing with all of that time and money spent on your addiction??

18.01.2022 Yesterday somebody sent me a text message telling me I was disgusting. As someone trying to re-build themselves after an 18 month battle with depression, this hit hard and cut deep and had me crying for an hour when it happened and another half hour later in the afternoon. Every single negative thought I had about myself came flooding back to add to this persons label of me. It magnified the migraine that had been lurking all week and I ended up in bed at 8pm hiding under ...the covers. I woke at 4am with the day replaying over and over and it yep, it was still cutting. Then something hit me. I’ve been living the negative labels for a very long time and they aren’t working well for me. I am also a lot of other amazing things. What you see in this image is just a few of the amazing positive labels I’m choosing to remember and celebrate about myself from this moment forward. How about you? How about listing out every amazing quality about you!? Let’s start celebrating ourselves and each other instead of trying to tear others down and being unsupportive, unkind, inconsiderate of others. Every single one of us is amazing and we don’t know what’s going on in someone’s life at any given time so don’t judge them. We are all doing the best we can. #beautiful #kind #thoughtful #considerate #trusting #resilient #creative #courageous #positive #happy #generous #understanding #student #hopeful #grateful #loving #strong #vulnerable #emotional #joyful #fun #unbreakable #forgiving #warrior #goddess #fierce #graceful #caring #fighter #gentle See more

10.01.2022 Leaving Neverland - Thank you Wade, James and Dan Firstly, this post is not about Michael Jackson. This is not about pointing out fault or blame anywhere, it is not to determine the guilt of Michael Jackson, although my personal view that where there is smoke, there is fire and the accounts of the two accusers are extraordinarily detailed and specific....Continue reading

04.01.2022 Easter has always been a hard time of year for me...When I was a kid, I was like everyone else and relished Easter purely for the Easter Eggs! It didn’t help that my Uncle worked at Cadbury’s so Easter Eggs were aplenty. I learned to associate the Easter period with an abundance of chocolate and comfort. For a child being sexually abused, you clutch on to anything that brings you comfort, that soothes the anxiety, calms your soul, even for a few minutes, so Easter was always... something I looked forward to. All these years later, I still look forward to Easter for exactly the same reason, comfort. Something that will ease the anxiety and soothe the soul. Some years, when things are going exceptionally well in my life overall, I’m feeling that comfort in other things, my health and wellness is strong, and I’m being soul driven in the work I’m doing, relationships are great, I can get through Easter without one Easter Egg or hot cross bun. You see for me, someone in recovery for bulimia, if I have one Easter Egg, I’m likely ending up having ten! If you don’t have challenges with food, having ten is fine, but having those 10 in one hour, and then searching for more, not so good... I made it to late yesterday without having one. Then I was in K-Mart and saw all of the Easter Eggs go on sale and I was a goner. I bought four large bunnies.... Whilst I haven’t opened one yet, as noted above, I know when I do open one, all four will be gone, since I bought them, I have been reflecting a lot on my recovery from bulimia, the tools I used to support me, etc. Pre my recovery, I would likely have bought over a dozen and had anxiety an hour later for not buying more, and then anxiety I’d bought any because I knew I was going to binge eat all of them. This is what it’s like for any addict. All or nothing. Bulimia, anorexia, overeating, binge eating, emotional eating, chronic dieting, are all the same. You live in a mental prison where all you think about is food. How much, how little, how often, control, anxiety. It’s never ending. The amount of time you spend thinking about food every day, you could spend building your dream life, It’s a heart breaking way to live. This year marks 10 years since I was diagnosed with bulimia, and I started my journey of recover. I was blessed my recovery stuck the first time I tried. I know it's not like that for everyone. My recovery was the hardest thing I've ever done and the thing I am most proud of in my life. I'm often asked in intro sessions about my recovery journey and the tools I used, so have decided to share them. In the next couple of days I will be launching a short four week program that covers all of the tools I used in my recovery. Watch this space! See more

02.01.2022 Food for Thought It is time for me to stop playing small and hiding behind the computer and share my message more publicly, and because I am not a fan of FB Live or Instagram Lives myself, I have set up a YouTube channel. I recorded the first video last week titled Food for Thought. ... You can watch it here, Let me know what you think! https://youtu.be/NPJuFJb_44A

02.01.2022 Last week, I manifested the opportunity to attend a three day Ancestral Healing Intensive held by @danielfoor It has taken a few days for my body to settle and all of the energies stirred over the three days to integrate. I would love to share the journey but I just don’t know how to describe the experience that would do it justice. So I’ll just highlight a few points, well assumptions, that will hopefully guide you to at least buy Daniels book and undertake the journey ...for yourself; 1) something continues after the death of the body, something lives on past the death of the body, aka, our ancestors; 2) not all of our ancestors are well, aka, think about our society now in the living, there are those that are beautiful and kind, and those that are not, same with our ancestors; 3) the impact our ancestors have on us is substantial, we can’t opt out of that 4) our earth is made up of the ashes of our ancestors physical bodies, be respectful We all have four core lineages, our mothers mum & dad, and other fathers mum & dad. They have bring something to us. Understanding this, understanding our ancestors and what they have to teach us, I believe, helps us heal. They gift us a burdens bundle and a gifts bundle. We tend to spend way too much time on the burdens bundle and ignore the gifts bundle. Lean in to building a relationship with your ancestors and allow them to guide you and support you to understand exactly who you are and where you come from. I promise you, it will change you forever. I’ve now healed one of my four lineages and already feel completely different, in a good way. The first image is a mandala of offerings we as a collective made to our ancestors over the three days. It’s made of grains, flowers, beans, dried fruits etc. Truly a beautiful experience. Thank you to Daniel and his supporters for an maxing weekend. Find out more here https://ancestralmedicine.org #transformation #healing #ancestralhealing #ancestors @ CERES Environment Park See more
