23.01.2022 My philosophy as an agent of transformation:: I believe in a world where people live free and in harmony with the Earth’s cycles. Where people have autonomy over their own health and courage to live how they choose, free of chronic disease. I believe in a world where the health and safety of the Environment is a global priority as well as a driver and determinant of health outcomes for all living beings on our planet; as our internal environment is a direct reflection o...f our external world. I believe that every one deserves to feel safe, empowered and nurtured in their skin, with the ability to sustain their health long term using food as medicine and natural therapies. My job is to help educate and support you on your wellbeing journey because I believe in your authority to choose what health means to you and I am committed to helping you achieve your goals If this resonates with you comment with your fave emojis below!

22.01.2022 "To be human is to face questions in life so great they’re unanswerable. The complexity of being alive is so incomprehensible, it calls us to imagine our place within this gaping universe; to think about God and meaning, how we’re all connected, and what the point of it all is. To be human is to have all of these unanswered questions outside of us, and to know so little about our inner landscape as well. To acknowledge that the realest things we experience, such as love and h...eartache and longing, are also the most undefinable. We limit them with simple, reductive words like love and heartache and longing because they’re too damn difficult to explain when the feeling has its way with us. It’s a wild and infinitely complex experience to be human, and yet we continue to use the one-dimensional gauge of happiness to measure a great life. As if the messiness and pointlessness and richness of being alive can be overcome by a good holiday, fitting into those size eight jeans or landing that dream job. When we value happiness as the benchmark of an exceptional life, we limit the beautiful spectrum of what we can feel and our ability to feel it. When we move within a society that’s happiness-oriented while holding ugly and undefined emotions close to our hearts, we feel like we’re not enough. Perhaps, instead of happiness being the pursuit, we could consider wellbeing. Wellbeing is a balanced and holistic spectrum that acknowledges every aspect of being human. Wellbeing is realising your potential while embracing the challenges of life. Wellbeing values the kaleidoscope of emotions that fill our hearts. We see the importance of navigating grief, of holding our sadness, and in making space to untangle the knotty emotions that emerge. And, when a challenging emotion arises and surpasses the normal intensity of life, wellbeing acknowledges the importance of seeking outside support for help. To ask for a hand with the weight of those broken pieces we’re holding. Most significantly, when we pursue wellbeing, we pursue the fullness of the human experience." Kayla Robertson, 'The Pursuit of Happiness'. Link to full article written for Dumbo Feather in my bio

21.01.2022 Anyone that knows me understands that I love food and I'm particularly partial to chocolate. I just think it's the best. It tastes bloody delicious and makes me feel like a queen for having access to its potent magic. Apparently the Aztecs believed cacao seeds to be the gift of Quetzalcoatl, the god of wisdom.. and the seeds were so valuable that they were used as a form of currency. ... Imagine that! Need your car serviced? Oh just make a 5kg slab of chocolate for your mechanic. Good as gold! Making your own chocolate is a deeply gratifying (and seriously tasty) practice. It means you can create a nutrient dense treat that is nutritionally functional and emotionally satisfying. I like to make slabs using an oven tray with roasted hazelnuts or pepitas, wattle seed and salt. Cacao is rich in antioxidants, potassium, magnesium and certain neurotransmitters that promote feelings of bliss and joy. Seriously, what's not to love?! If you do buy your choccy instead of making it, choose a dark variety (70% or darker) to limit sugar content and improve your chances of gaining more from the ingredients. Cacao is an agricultural product harvested in an industry that hasn't always provided a fair price or work standard to farmers, so choose Organic and Fair Trade for optimal feel goods. I believe wholeheartedly in using food as medicine to create powerful, positive and sustainable changes in life. Add some raw cacao to your kitchen's medicine cabinet and start experimenting!

17.01.2022 "REST is the conversation between what we love to do and how we love to be. Rest is the essence of giving and receiving; an act of remembering, imaginatively and intellectually but also physiologically and physically. The act of hating ourselves for our procrastinations is the act of refusing the deeper, foundational layer of rest from which true action can come. To rest is to give up on the already exhausted will as the prime motivator of endeavor, with its endless outward... need to reward itself through established goals. To rest is to give up on worrying and fretting and the sense that there is something wrong with the world unless we are there to put it right; to rest is to fall back literally or figuratively from outer targets and shift the goal not to an inner static bull’s eye, an imagined state of perfect stillness, but to an inner state of natural exchange. The template of natural exchange is the breath, the autonomic giving and receiving that forms the basis and the measure of life itself. We are rested when we are a living exchange between what lies inside and what lies outside, when we are an intriguing conversation between the potential that lies in our imagination and the possibilities for making that internal image real in the world; we are rested when we let things alone and let ourselves alone, to do what we do best, breathe as the body intended us to breathe, to walk as we were meant to walk, to live with the rhythm of a house and a home, giving and taking through cooking and cleaning. To rest is not self-indulgent, to rest is to prepare to give the best of ourselves, and to perhaps, most importantly, arrive at a place where we are able to understand what we have already been given. Rested, we are ready for the world but not held hostage by it, rested we care again for the right things and the right people in the right way. In rest we reestablish the goals that make us more generous, more courageous, more of an invitation, someone we want to remember, and someone others would want to remember too.

17.01.2022 INVIGORATE TEA! My favourite tea for an energising morning ritual. A yummy synergistic blend of Certified Organic white tea, peppermint, ginkgo biloba and goji berries. These herbs are rich in antioxidants, known to ease digestive upsets and nausea and may support circulation and energy levels. The aromatics of organic peppermint help to wake you up and maintain alertness throughout the day. ... Did you know that Ginkgo is the oldest living species of tree on earth?! And apart from cockroaches, one of the only living species that survived Hiroshima. Evidence shows it improves cognitive function and is widely known to protect nerve cells. I like to let this tea just free float in the mug instead of using a strainer. It means you can eat the juicy, plump goji berries that float to the top :) A tea AND a snack?! That's my love language right there.

09.01.2022 The human body resonates at the same frequency as Mother Earth. So instead of only focusing on trying to save the earth, which operates in congruence to our vibrations, I think it is more important to be one with each other. If you really want to remedy the earth, we have to mend mankind. And to unite mankind, we heal the Earth. That is the only way. Mother Earth will exist with or without us. Yet if she is sick, it is because mankind is sick and separated. And if our vibra...tions are bad, she reacts to it, as do all living creatures. - Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassel Photo by Maros Misove - Unsplash #melbournenaturopath #foodasmedicinepractitioner #foodasmedicine #plantlore #plantloreservices #healnaturally #yourhealthyourchoice #onlinenaturopath #naturopathicmedicine #treatthepersonnotthedisease #guthealthcoach #anxietysupport #naturalcycles #livefreely #naturaltherapies #wellbeingjourney #emotionalwellbeing #spiritualconnection #foodplans #empoweredhealthcare #stressmanagement #stresshelp #gutbrainconnection #breatheyourbiome #newparadigm #planetaryhealth #regenerativefuture #microbiomehealth #supportsmallbusiness #naturalhealth
08.01.2022 Personalised Essential Oil Blends - made for you, by me
02.01.2022 How does your environment affect you? Is it toxic? Have you considered it? There's so much more to consider about 'being healthy' than what you eat & drink, and how you sleep & move your body.. although that's an excellent place to start!... Parts of our environment that affect our health: The level of pollution in the air we breathe, electromagnetic pollution, whether we see beauty in our day, the fabrics we wear, the products we put on our skin or those we wash our clothes in, the diversity of microbes in the air we breathe, sound, the amount of sunshine our naked skin feels, the pesticides and herbicides on the food we eat, the heavy metals in the water we drink, plastic contamination, diversity of activities, our experience of happiness and joy, our level of pleasure and connection, and of course da da daaaaa - STRESS. Stress is tricky because we can't always identify it or its cause and it can manifest in SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS: headaches fatigue weight gain brain fog digestive issues food intolerances hay fever and allergies thyroid conditions rashes, acne, dry skin depression, anxiety, mental health issues insomnia respiratory conditions hormonal issues... the list truly does go on. But here's the thing, decoding the complexities of you and your health scape is what I do best as a Naturopath and together we figure out a plan that provides you a bit more control over how to manage those environmental issues. Supporting the nervous system is paramount because that's where stress hits first. Education is key. If stress is something you feel you need support with, let's chat.

01.01.2022 Essential oils help a person obtain emotional equilibrium - which allows the happiness and joy, our birthright, to come out. Essential oils are facilitators, balancers and drops of pure positivity. They can put the sparkle back into life. Valerie Ann Worwood the Queen of Aromatherapy said that and geez I’d love some of my sparkle back! I’ve been feeling so tense and emotional this week, like the nervous tears are bubbling right under the surface, ready to spill out at any ...given moment. It’s easy to forget all of our tools when we feel out of sorts so it’s a good thing I’ve got a bookshelf full of reminders. There are different types of anxiety according to Worwood: tense, restless, apprehensive and repressed and there are different essential oils to soothe each state. Tense anxiety creates bodily tension and muscle aches & pains so Clary Sage, Lavender, Sandalwood, Roman Chamomile and Patchouli are allies. Apprehensive anxiety creates unease, worrying, brooding, paranoia and a sense of foreboding so Bergamot, Lavender, Neroli, Rose Otto, Melissa and Geranium are beautifully suited. I’m feeling a mix of both of these states at the moment so I’ll be making myself some massage oils to use daily to help create a sense of balance and calm. If you would like a unique and personalised massage or perfume oil DM me, I’d be happy to create one for you. I’m offering these at a discounted rate until the end of September so their sweet magick can be experienced by more people who may need it. These 30ml bottles of divine love are $20. And to my dear Melbourne folk, a free gift of tea to you with any personalised oil purchase. Sending love and the sweet smells of nature your way xx. . . . . #essentialoils #essentialoilsforstress #essentialoilsforanxiety #anxietyrelieftips #selfcaretip #melbournenaturopath #handmadebeauty #veganbodyproducts #allnaturaloils #naturesgifts #aromatherapyproducts #aromatherapymelbourne #scenttherapy #healnaturallywithessentialoils #healnaturally #stressandanxiety #balancechakraswithessentialoils #plantlore #plantlorebody #lockdownrelief #melbournelockdown
