25.01.2022 I’m SO excited to be preparing my first brisket. I’ve dry rubbed to leave overnight, ready for a slow cook tomorrow! I’m even more excited to use this lovely cut of buffalo. Buffalo, say what? Yep, and I’ve been doing my research this meat is nutritionally better than beef in numerous areas, having a better lipid (fat) profile, higher in protein and a great source of highly bioavailable iron, vitamin B12 and numerous other minerals and vitamins. In fact some studies have show...n buffalo to improve cardiovascular health! Any tips for the perfect brisket?? . . . #brisket #dryrub #buffalo #organic #freerange #nutrition #healthyfood #iron #vitamins #minerals #foodforhealth #foodasmedicine #cardiovascularhealth #frommykitchen #ipswichnutritionist #ipswichnaturopath #naturopathathome #naturopathybyracheleveritt See more

25.01.2022 Dinner Time! Ive been craving pumpkin and feta So I whipped up this pumpkin & feta gluten free quiche. I used a Well & Good pastry flour mix for the pastry. I havent tried it before but was super simple and way quicker than making my own pastry from scratch, which is what you need sometimes! Got the tick of approval from the family, so #winning Whats for dinner at your place? . . .... #glutenfree #dinner #frommykitchen #vegetarian #pregnancycravings #nutrition #healthymeals #ipswichnutritionist #ipswichnaturopath See more

25.01.2022 Herbal Medicine Compounding// One of my favourite things to do is mix up herbal formulas for my patients. I absolutely adore herbs. Ive always been drawn to herbs, playing in the garden as a kid picking rosemary, lavender, rose, fennel, and making concoctions. Herbal medicine subjects were my favourite in uni, ones that I aced hands down. So, its no wonder I love being in the dispensary now! I love working with herbs for so many reasons. They have an extensive and broad ran...ge of action used to alleviate all sorts of ailments, generally have beneficial effects faster than tablet formulas. But the best thing is I have the ability to personalise a formula specific to a patients needs while utilising the best herb and incorporating its energetics. Ah herbs, I could talk about them forever! Have you ever had a herbal formula? What did you think? I always tell my patients to think of me lovingly while taking a shot of their herbal brew! They may not always taste nice, but a lot of thought and love goes into my formulas. Personalised herbal medicine at its best. . . . #herbalmedicine #herbslist #herbnerd #herbs #naturalmedicine #dispensary #herbalformulas #personalisedmedicine #herbalextracts #ipswichherbalist #ipswichnaturopath #naturopathybyracheleveritt See more

25.01.2022 I am the biggest advocate for self care, yet I realised I haven’t been practicing it. So this morning while the kids amused themselves I showered, shaved my legs and did a quick facial. Nothing fancy just a cleanse and tried this mini honey mask by @antipodesskincare which was lovely! It’s not much but it’s something and a great start to my day after a rough night!

25.01.2022 It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. We put our tree up yesterday and we are loving this tea advent calendar!

25.01.2022 Dairy free ain’t so bad as long as you don’t have a nut allergy! This salted caramel cashew yoghurt is the bomb, especially with a side of French toast and fresh berries. I love dairy but my little bubba not so much and while I’m his sole source of food I’ve had to make the sacrifice. I gave up soft cheese during pregnancy so what’s another year or so?! Anyone else dairy free?

24.01.2022 The best thing about being home, aside from being with my family, is I can eat real food again! Its a disgrace what is being fed to sick, injured and convalescent patients in hospitals and I understand theres more to it than funds. But seriously the last few days Ive not only been recovering from abdominal surgery but also a breastfeeding mumma again, and the nutrient less foods provided did not improve the situation. Breakfast in particular, after being awake feeding anot...her life you need sustenance and a bowl of corn flakes, fruit cup (yep not even fresh fruit!) and a cup of tea does not cut it! So today, our first morning home, I decided on a European breakfast (cause damn, have I missed soft cheese!), still not an epic amount of protein but much more nutrient dense and nourishing than hospital food! And theres plenty of protein on the menu for second breakfasts in an hour or two . . . #postpartum #postpartumnutrition #breastfeeding #hospitalfood #gladtonbehome #nutrition #nourshing #realfood #organic #glutenfree #sugarfree #balancedmeals #education #healthyfood #ipswichnutritionist #ipswichnaturopath See more

24.01.2022 Vegan Chocolate Cheesecake Base 1 cup macadamia nuts 2 medjool dates ... Cheesecake 2 cups cashews, soak in water overnight, then strain and rinse 1/3 cup maple syrup 1/3 cup cacao powder 1/2 cup cacao butter, melted 1/4 vanilla pod, scrapped OR tsp vanilla essence Pinch salt Approximately 3/4 cup coconut water or water Variations I’ve tried Chocolate Salted Caramel - I make a salted caramel sauce but adding a couple of dates and extra salt works too Chocolate Raspberry - omit the maple syrup and add 1/3 cup good quality raspberry jam Chocolate Coffee - brew a strong coffee and use in place of water Blitz the macadamias and dates in a food processor until like sticky sand but not a paste. Press into a lined springform pan. Pop into fridge while making the cheesecake. Blitz the remaining ingredients, except water, in a high power blender, this is the secret to getting a silky smooth consistency, or a food processor. Add the water slowly until you get a smooth consistency, not watery, much like a cake batter. This may take some time, stop and scrap the sides and check the consistency by rubbing the mixture between two fingers. You want it as smooth as possible. You may need to add extra water. Once smooth pour on top of the prepared base. Pop into the fridge or freezer to set. To serve remove from freezer and allow to defrost for an hour or so on the bench or leave in the fridge overnight. Enjoy!

24.01.2022 What to do when everything is done while waiting for a baby to come? Well, bake of course! Not that I need more baked goods or my freezer has any more room. But at least my midwives will be well fed, providing said baby makes an appearance before the rest of us devour this delightful lemon chia loaf! . . . #waitingonababy #39weeks #trimester3 #arewethereyet #baking #caketime #glutenfree #lowsugar #organic #ipswichnaturopath

23.01.2022 Basking in the beauty of new life. New mumma’s get given a lot of advice, often unrequited but generally well intended. Everything from baby should sleep this long or feed like that or be this big and so on and so forth. Sometimes we need the wisdom of mothers before us and sometimes we need to listen and trust our own instincts. So mumma listen to yourself, if you want to hold your bubba longer than do, if you want to demand feed then do, if you want to bottle feed then do. What works for you and your baby is best for you and your baby, not what someone else tells you is right. . . . #newborn #babies #postpartum #postpartumbliss #sleepingbabies #instincts #parenting #attachmentparenting #newmumma #ipswichnaturopath

23.01.2022 Gluten free French Toast, berries, hand whipped @barambahorganics cream and real maple syrup. Oh my, thanks to Karen for planting the idea after sharing her dinner last night! Id forgotten about French Toast! We thoroughly enjoyed this. As this is a bit of a sweet start to the day I add a whole lot of cinnamon to the egg mix. Cinnamon helps to stablished post prandial (after eating) blood sugars, which is important for everyone but especially when pregnant! What other break...fasts do you suggest? Weve been rotating between porridge, gluten free weetbix or scrambled eggs for awhile now!

21.01.2022 Nesting today The time is getting near and Im starting to prepare the babys and my space, within our home, my birthing room and kit and also within myself, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Having a baby is a huge thing, but it is natural and beautiful. There can be pain but also incredible joy, love and acceptance. Im really looking forward to the time I have now to prepare myself and to nest. To create a wonderful place to bring my baby into this world when the time comes. . . . #nesting #pregnancy #trimester3 #week36 #preparation #creatingspace #havingababy #herbsandtinctures #crystals #prettythings #babies #birthkit #birthprep #homebirth #nature #womenempowerment #normalisebirth #ipswichnaturopath #ipswichherbalist

20.01.2022 For some reason Im feeling a twinge of morning sickness today. Ive been nauseous free for nearly 11 weeks now so Im not keen to be sick again! There were a few remedies that I lived on during my first trimester that helped a lot, so I decided to have a dose now. One of these go tos for me is Perilla. Perilla is a herb from the mint family that has been traditionally used for morning sickness. It surprisingly doesnt taste too bad (though I love most herbs, even those oth...ers find really bitter!) and it works rather quickly. Its super handy to have on have and works well as drop dose. I take about 6 drops in a glass of water, which I sip. And voila the nausea has subsided (thank goodness, aint nobody got time for that!). *This is not medical advice & should you wish to know more or try for yourself youll need to consult a qualified herbalist (DM me)* . . . #herbalmedicine #herbalextractsco #herbalist #pregnancy #thirdtrimester #morningsickness #nausea #ipswichherbalist #ipswichnaturopath #naturopathybyracheleveritt See more

20.01.2022 BIRTH TRAUMA// It was birth trauma week a couple weeks back, but I wasn’t ready to share then. However, I do feel it is a very important topic for women and men. I think back to a few days postpartum, I was standing in front of the mirror, hair disheveled, dark circles under the eyes, new stretch marks across my belly, maternity pad and a fresh scar I couldn’t look at. I said jokingly to my husband wow, birth really isn’t sexy! and it isn’t supposed to be, but it is BEAUTI...Continue reading

20.01.2022 34 years around the sun and what a crazy year this last one has been. Reflecting back, this time last year I was heart broken, another year gone without conceiving, struggling with infertility and thinking it would never happen. To now having a gorgeous baby boy snuggling me. And the time between, the ups and downs of pregnancy during a pandemic, a birth plan gone awry, recovering from an emergency caesarean and the joys and sleep deprivation of becoming a new parent again. T...his year has brought so much change, and not just for myself but the entire world. It has been challenging to find our place within this change. However I decided, mid pregnancy during this pandemic, to slow down. Take each day as it comes and to accept what it brings. This meant I didnt achieve certain work and life goals, putting me back from where I had planned and worked so hard to be. Yet rather than focusing on what could be perceived as a failure I chose to rejoice in what I had, spending each moment in gratitude as no doubt I could be much worse off. With so much uncertainty in the world around us I hope you can find a place of peace. Enjoy the small moments, be mindful and conscious of your time in the present. More than ever no one knows what the future looks like and I certainly hope it improves. For all our changes, struggles and losses this year, let us find the silver lining, whatever that may be. . by @flowerlovers beautifully gifted by my tribe at Healing Hands Natural Health Centre . . . #infertility #pregnancy #birth #birthday #reflections #change #pandemicpregnancy #hope #life #flowers #birthdayboquet #ipswichnaturopath #naturopathybyracheleveritt See more

19.01.2022 I ate a bunch of unhealthy (but bloody delicious) sweet food over the weekend and ever since Ive been craving sugar and having a hard time not consuming everything sweet in my path!! So the last couple of days Ive been consciously avoiding the sweet stuff and focusing on green! I made a smoothie yesterday and had some leftover avocado so smashed it up with fresh parsley, lemon and spices for a quick guacamole for lunch. Im feeling much better and the sugar cravings are les...sening finally!! Do you struggle with sugar cravings? I often joke, saying its my bacteria, which is probably true to some extent (think candida) BUT theres also a fair amount of self control issues there too!! So practicing mindful eating is important for me. I challenge you to have your greens today!! . . . #greens #veggies #herbs #organic #glutenfree #avocado #nourishing #nutrientdense #nutrition #healthyfood #health #wellness #sugarcravings #sweettooth #guthealth #microbiome #candida #ipswichnutritionist #ipswichnaturopath

18.01.2022 Todays greenery. Its weird as the weather is cooler but Ive been craving smoothies. In fact Ive been wanting cold drinks a lot with this pregnancy, which is a little out of character. Whenever I make a smoothie I just throw in a bunch of veg, some fruit, healthy fats, protein and usually some supplements too. I dont really measure (bad habit of mine for all cooking cause if it turns out amazing I never know what Ive done!). This bad boy was enough for 2 and has (roughl...y)... 3 cubes frozen spinach (maybe 1 cup fresh) I use Elgin Organic 1/4 cucumber 1/2 avocado Handful fresh parsley 1 kiwi fruit 1 small banana 1/2-1 cup frozen mango A few Brazil nuts Tbsp hemp seeds 2 tbsps collagen Water Blend until smooth but thick and creamy!

18.01.2022 Homemade sushi!! Oh yeah!! I may er on the side of caution, but given how long and how hard the journey to this successful pregnancy was Im happy to do so! Theres a bunch of foods I have been avoiding, sushi being one of them. So making this fresh sushi today, while it took me the better part of the afternoon, was absolutely worth the time and effort!

18.01.2022 Dear Mumma, its ok if all you did today was feed your baby. I see you and Im right there with you. Having a newborn is a very demanding time, so be kind to yourself. Dont worry about the house, just eat, drink and look after yourself and your little one. These days shall pass, the dishes can wait, enjoy the snuggles.

18.01.2022 Getting into the Christmas spirit Those who know me know that food is my love language. I love to cook for others and I love the creativity cooking brings me. I have an idea and enjoy the challenge of bringing it to life. This cake I named Dance of the sugarplum fairies a white chocolate mud cake with plum jelly and rose scented buttercream. It was by no means healthy, absolutely not sugar free, but it was a delicious and decadent treat that was enjoyed by all. Oh and that... was our Christmas cocktail, though mine where alcohol free! #breastfeeding . . . #dreamingofawhitechristmas #aussiechristmas #christmasspirit #festivities #glutenfree #delicious #creativebaking #desserts #treats #cakeandcocktails See more

18.01.2022 Many years ago on this day I lost someone very dear to me. He struggled with his demons until he could no longer. Mental health affects many people, in many different ways. The worst part is the stigma surrounding it, which often discourages people from seeking help at a time when feeling utterly alone. Please know youre not alone, those who are struggling and those who are left behind. Did you know? In 2018, preliminary data showed a total of 3,046 deaths by suicide and a...n average of 8.3 deaths by suicide in Australia each day (Mindframe, 2019). The rate of suicide among males is more than three times greater than that for females. In 2018, the age-specific rate for males 18.7 per 100,000 (2,320 deaths by suicide) and female 5.8 per 100,000 (726 deaths by suicide). The highest proportion of suicide deaths occur among young and middle aged people. More than half of all suicide deaths in 2018 (54.8%) occurred between the ages 30 and 59. If you are struggling with mental health please seek help. Lifeline 13 11 14. Beyond Blue 1300 224 636. And always try to show extra kindness to everyone, you never know what hides behind their smile (or frown). . . . #suicideawareness #loss #grief #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #leftbehind #healthandwellness #seekhelp #notalone #sharetheburden #spreadkindness

16.01.2022 Third trimester. On the home stretch, woohoo! Luckily for me the nausea has diminished, pregnancy insomnia still comes and goes, Im a tad uncomfortable due to an expanding and growing belly but all in all feeling good! And this time around cramps are not a daily occurrence! Mostly because Ive been way more onto what Im eating and focusing on specific nutrients, such as calcium, magnesium, potassium and iron (for the restless legs especially). Each pregnancy is different an...d comes with different symptoms. Cramps seem to be a pretty common one though, so I suggest magnesium flake baths and topical magnesium lotions/sprays my favourites come from @amazingoilsmagnesium and if thats not enough talk to your health care professional for a quality supplement! For some magnesium may not be the only culprit so if magnesium doesnt do the trick check out the other nutrients I mentioned.

16.01.2022 As a new mummy again I spend all my time caring for my newborn, plus my big girl and my hubby. My days are filled with school lunches, breakfasts, dinners, washing, cleaning, nappies, breastfeeding, bathing and so the list goes on. I am constantly putting others needs before my own and that’s ok for a short while. However, I found myself getting a little cranky and resentful of looking after everyone and no one looking after me (this isn’t entirely true, my husband works his ...ass off so I can afford to stay at home with my baby!), anyhow I found this skirt I LOVE and thought screw it, we can call online shopping a form of self care right??!! So this is a public service reminder to practice some self care, especially new mummies, well any parent for that matter, cause we can’t continually care for others with an empty cup! I’m meowy happy (cause who doesn’t love a good pun! Note the skirt is cats) with my purchase, but need to work a little more on the self care thing! . . . #selfcare #cats #puns #newmummy #mumlife #mentalhealth #keepingitreal #behindthescenes #naturopathathome See more

16.01.2022 BREASTFEEDING// With it being #worldbreastfeedingweek I thought I’d share some on my breastfeeding journey. I’m lucky to be able to, many women really struggle to breastfeed for various reasons so I am always grateful for the opportunity to do so. It’s this gratitude I hold on to when it hurts, in the very early hours of the morning when my body aches and doesn’t want to get up and sleep deprivation is strong. Breastmilk is literally magic! However, while breastmilk is aweso...me, FED is best NOT breast is best! Formula can be as good as it gets for some and there certainly are some good formulas on the market. Don’t ever let anyone make you feel inadequate for formula feeding. I really struggled feeding with my first baby, like REALLY struggled. There were tears and sore nipples and times I wanted to give up. I feel sometimes we don’t share the reality and struggles. But I persisted and it took the better part of 2 months to really get it happening. Then I went from complete noob to pro and fed until she was 22months! I wanted to get to 24, but I was over it and every feed left me feeling unhappy. And if it’s not right for both of you anymore then it’s time to wean. This time is completely different. My sweet boy has the best latch and feeds incredibly well making it an absolute dream. However, there’s still sore nipples, frustration when waiting for my milk to come in (which took longer post op!) and cluster feeds that drive me a bit batty (but gives me opportunity to write posts!). So it’s not all rainbows and sunshine, but it’s still amazing that I can solely feed and nourish this little human. For me the biggest thing around breastfeeding is every woman should feel empowered to feed when, where and how she wants. She should never feel shame or guilt. Breastfeeding is natural and beautiful and creates a sacred bond between mother and child and does not belong behind closed doors, suffocating cloths or toilet stalls! Get the boobies out and feed your babies, damn anyone who looks poorly on you. . . . #breastfeeding #mothersmilk #fedisbest #womenempowerment #freethenipple #ipswichnaturopath See more

15.01.2022 The thing I dislike most about school routine is the lunches. I start off the school term super excited and keen to make beautiful, nutritious lunches and then by the end of the term Im exhausted! I find the rush of the morning super stressful, so being prepared is my secret. My top lunch tips are... 1) Get input but not too much, give 2 options for a main or snack, this involves the child and you have less chance of lunch returning uneaten! 2) Prep food! The night before I...ll make sure Ive got everything ready to whip up in the morning or Ill actually make it the night before (not wraps or sandwiches, no one likes those soggy!) 3) Make a weeks worth of snacks over the weekend, for us this may be nut free bliss balls, gut gummies, muffins or biscuits. 4) I find variety is the key for us, but some little people (and big people) are happy to eat the same thing all the time. Regardless, balance is important - remember protein, healthy fats, complex carbs, fruit & veggies. Theres the main (weve just discovered Genius gluten free pita wraps, OMG amazing!) this is a sandwich, wrap, fritters, quiche, leftover meat, egg wrap, sushi, tapas style (meat/cheese, veggie sticks, olives) etc - basically protein and veggies; fruit break; and a couple of snacks, maybe a muffin, biscuit, bliss ball, gummies or sometimes popcorn/chips. I try to avoid packaged food but sometimes its quick and easy! If Im lacking protein in the main I find chia puddings, quark panna cotta or gut gummies a good addition. Now dont get me wrong there are days, sometimes many days, where my kid gets a ham and cheese sandwich with veggie sticks, banana and popcorn, Im NOT super Mum! And well see what happens when bubba arrives But I do find a little preparation goes a long way and while Im prepping for her I prep for the rest of us, everyone deserves a nutritious lunch!

14.01.2022 Morning and Evening routine. These gorgeous organic, Australian made products are whats keeping my growing belly smooth and comfortable. Ive been using them since the first sign of a baby bump! Highly recommend to all pregnant mummas. Heres what they have to say about their products... A powerful blend of omega-rich organic oils, our lush Belly Oil helps boost collagen production and leaves skin supple and smooth as it stretches during pregnancy. Brimming with essential ...fatty acids and antioxidants, our nourishing organic oil blend can help reduce the appearance of stretch marks, while also relieving itching and calming inflammation. Theres a few other things Im doing to help my skin during this stretchy time, such as taking extra collagen and ensuring my zinc levels are good. But nothing beats the topical application and its nice to have a routine and connect with baby. Plus it smells amazing! . . . #aussiemade #forgrowingbumps #bellybutter #bellyoil #pregnancytrimester3 #stretchmarks #selfcare #organic #skincare #essentialoils #essentialfattyacids #antioxidants #ipswichnaturopath

14.01.2022 Getting ready for Christmas. I know it’s early. I’m not one of those it’s November so let’s do Christmas spirited people. I’m a Christmas is from the first of December person and the tree is always down before the new year. But when I saw this tea advent calendar by @englishteashop.australia I have to admit I got a little excited! I like the idea of counting down the days to Christmas for my kids but I don’t like the daily chocolate thing. We love our tea so this was the perf...ect idea! Looking forward to December 1st aka tree day and when we get to try the first tea!!

13.01.2022 Winner, winner Buffalo Brisket dinner. I totally #nailedit very pleased with the outcome! It’s always nerve wrecking when you spend 10 hours cooking dinner, thinking about how it will turn out. Turned out amazing, the texture of the meat was perfect and the homemade BBQ sauce was epic. Super happy! Plus this bad boy is full of protein, healthy fats and iron, among other amazing nutrients. . . . #buffalo #brisket #slowcooker #organic #freerange #healthyeating #realfood #nutritious #ironrich #protein #delicious #frommykitchen #betterthanbeef #ipswichnutritionist #ipswichnaturopath #naturopathathome

13.01.2022 Making breakfast fun and festive. My go to pancakes with a side of gut healing gummy stars and moons. Where time permits I try to make kid’s breakfasts interesting, playing with shapes and colours. I find this particularly helpful for little ones that don’t show much interest in food. Buckwheat Pancakes 1 cup milk of choice (I use oat), more if consistency is thick... 2 eggs 1/2 cup gluten free flour or almond meal 1/2 cup buckwheat flour 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp Apple cider vinegar Coconut oil for cooking I make pancake batter in my blender, layering ingredients in this order - milk, eggs, flour, baking soda and pour the apple cider vinegar over the baking soda (it’ll fizz, this helps them rise), blend until combined. Without a blender add all ingredients to a bowl, beat together with a whisk or hand held beater. Add coconut oil to a hot fry pan, pour batter into pan, flip when bubbles come to the surface cook a further minute or so. Serve with real maple syrup and berries. . . . #pancakes #healthyfood #gutgummies #guthealing #kidfriendlyfood #glutenfree #dairyfree #nutrition #breakfast #wholefood #realfood #festivefood #ipswichnutritionist #ipswichnaturopath #naturopathathome

12.01.2022 Maternity Leave// Ive been on my fertility journey for awhile, through the ups and downs, the struggles, disappointments and tears. To the moment those two pink lines appeared, the joy and fears. I wasnt sure it would happen again for us, but it did. Then finding myself pregnant during a pandemic, wasnt quite what I had in mind but I wouldnt change it for the world! Now the time has come for me to finish up for maternity leave. I absolutely love my job, the people Ive m...et and helped along the way. While Ill miss the work Im also really looking forward to slowing down, spending time with my family and ultimately meeting our beautiful new baby when the time comes. For now I hand over to my colleague @alexandra_the_naturopath to take excellent care of my patients in my absence. Ill be back in clinic soon enough, but in the mean time take care of yourselves and each other. I look forward to sharing my bundle of joy with you.

12.01.2022 Remember to keep hydrated on these hot Australian summer days! Aim for 2-3 litres of fluids per day, more with exercise, this should consist of mostly water but herbal teas, kombucha, fruit and vegetable juices and broths count also. Coffee and other caffeinated beverages don’t count as daily fluid intake, so make sure to drink a glass of water for each of these. Sometimes water can get a bit boring so we like to jazz it up by adding fruit or herbs, or drinking it sparkling!... Thyme & Grapefruit Kombucha Mocktail 1 can/small bottle flavoured kombucha (I used Remedy Peach) Juice of 1/2 grapefruit, the other half sliced thinly into rounds A few sprigs of fresh thyme Sparkling water Add ingredients to a large jug, give a little stir. Serve in pretty glasses if you’d like to feel fancy! **please note grapefruit is not safe to consume with certain medications, check with your pharmacist/health care professional. You may substitute with lemon/orange/lime etc** . . . #keephydrated #summerdays #breastfeeding #waterintake #mocktails #health #wellness #nutrition #herbs #foodasmedicine #ipswichnutritionist #ipswichnaturopath #naturopathathome

11.01.2022 Getting ready for our first bath! Its important to be particular about the products you choose for your baby. Theres a well know brand out there that doesnt have your precious ones interests at heart and produce some less than desirable products, which is most unfortunate. However, theres also a great number of fantastic natural, organic, non-toxic, chemical free baby products. Its important to be mindful of what we put on the skin as it is absorbed directly into the bod...y and at such a young age babies are most vulnerable to the effects of chemicals found in skincare. Were also a bit fussy with our nappies too! While we will swap to cloth, I knew after my first baby that cloth for me this soon after birth was too much (washing!) and even more so given the unplanned c-section. We use Tooshies by TOM, great for the environment and baby. . . . #firstbath #7daysold #naturalbaby #naturalproducts #organic #skincare #baby #newborn #toxinfreeliving #chemicalfreekids #nappies #environmentallyfriendly #naturalliving #ipswichnaturopath See more

11.01.2022 Tea time! Loving the slightly cooler and overcast weather today. The weather, and looong day of homeschooling, calls for a cup of tea. I tell you if I wasnt pregnant Id be replacing this with a stiff drink! Who else is struggling with homeschool? Ive enjoyed it, but its damn hard to work from home at the same time. Just a few more days Qlders!! Anyway, back to the tea... I am loving @loveteaofficial French Earl Grey, its delicious, organic and ever so pretty. Just what I need to get through the rest of the day! Side note, I have made a wicked cocktail with this tea before.... . . . #teatime #ilovetea #frenchearlgrey #looseleaftea #floraltea #afternoons #longdays #pregnancy #prettythings #wishitwasbooze #dreaming

09.01.2022 The year of WTAF??? The highs and lows, the losses and the wins. This year has brought out the best and worst in people and society. I’ve learnt a lot about myself and those around me. I’ve felt out of control, alone and scared for the future. I’ve also felt empowered, excited and ready to start something new. This year has pushed me to really find my truth in what I want and need. Moving forward, cautiously, into the unknown of 2021 but with a positive outlook, I’ve asked my...self: 1. What has 2020 taught me? 2. How can I use these lessons to bring about change? 3. What is it I need and want for my future, both in business and personally? 4. What have my limitations and obstacles been? How can I move beyond these? 5. What do I want to gain and what do I want to let go? I encourage you to reflect back on this year and ask yourself these or similar questions. I hope 2021 is an improvement, and while we can’t control what’s going on in the world around us we can learn and grow, so that’s what I’ll do. Farewell 2020, I won’t miss you, I’ll likely never forget you but thanks for the lessons and the wild ride! . . . #happynewyear #2020 #isitoveryet #bringon2021 #healing #health #newbeginnings See more

07.01.2022 This is my new favourite storage!! Silicon ziplock bags from @ever.eco what a great idea! The perfect thing to store frozen goods. Yesterday was not a great day, I had crazy Braxton Hicks for 7 hours, my body was telling me SLOW THE F DOWN!! Ive been so consumed with tying up all the loose ends, making sure my patients are ok and happy, taking on WAY too much work this far along in my pregnancy. So when these practice contractions were painful I panicked and realised Ive... been doing so much for everyone else and totally neglecting my body and growing baby. Ive got a lot of stuff for baby but nothing organised, I dont have meals prepped or a hospital bag in case I need one. So in a panic I packed a bag, I didnt need it. Were fine. I saw my midwife and was told to take it easy, so I spent the day in bed, rearranged some work and called my mum for help! Ive since been preparing, small steps at a time as I need to take it slow! And the first thing I did was freeze yoghurt cubes for quick smoothies!! Back to these amazing bags....I plan to fill them with ready to go snacks for labour/post birth. Its time to prep, while the Braxton Hicks have subsided, this baby is coming soon!! Any suggestions for baby prep snacks and meals? Its been along time between babies for me! . . . #ecostoragesolutions #ecohome #wasteless #resusablebags #environmentallyfriendly #freezermealprep #pregnancy #thirdtrimester #35weeks #braxtonhicks #preparing #selfcare #slowdown #ipswichnutritionist #ipswichnaturopath See more

07.01.2022 30 days of being your mumma, at least of you being earth side rather than in my belly. My eyes feel like theyre going to fall out Im so tired. The sleepless nights bring a little dread as the day closes. Theres not enough time, I have not enough hands for all the work. The days are quick to pass but the nights drag on. For all the mummas out there with this struggle I hear you, I see you. Its a rough job. BUT that little hand on my chest. Those little smiles as you fall ...asleep feeding. Those beautiful eyes staring lovingly at me like Im the only person in the world. Through those long nights the secret moments we share. All the kisses and snuggles. The smell of your soft velvet head. The warmth of you skin. Its 100% worth every minute of sleeplessness, the unwashed dishes, skipped meals and full bladder. Just to be with you in these precious fleeting moments. How this time has flown by. Hold your little ones, tired mumma, kiss their heads and remember these hard days dont last forever and youre not alone. . . . #newborn #babies #onemonthold #preciousmoments #tinyhumans #tinyhands #breastfeeding #motherhood #sleeplessness #fullhearts See more

07.01.2022 BONE BROTH// Great addition to the diet for gut and immune health! I make a batch every month and incorporate into daily meals. Heres my recipe. Ingredients Organic Bones - poultry, beef, lamb, fish or shellfish (pork isnt recommended), any kind of bone may be used (marrow, knuckle, meaty etc.) *I get bones from Sherwood Road Organic Meats at Rocklea Markets, Brisbane*... Cool filtered water, enough to cover bones Approximately 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar Optional: celery, carrot, onion, garlic, parsley/other herbs Himalayan or Celtic sea salt & pepper Method - Place bones in a large pot or slow cooker, add apple cider vinegar and cover with water. Leave to sit for 1 hour so the vinegar can leach the minerals out of the bones. - After sitting for an hour, bring to a boil and skim the scum from the top and discard. - Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 24-72 hours (if youre not comfortable leaving a pot on the stove to simmer, turn it off overnight and let it sit, then turn it back on in the morning, allowing to simmer all day). This is where a slow cooker becomes handy, just turn it on low heat and leave it be! - During the last few hours of cooking, add the optional vegetables. In the final 10 minutes of cooking add the optional parsley (for extra flavour and minerals). - Let the broth cool and strain it, making sure all marrow is knocked out of the marrowbones and into the broth. - Season with salt and pepper to taste. - Store in the fridge for up to 7 days or freezer for up to 6 months. TIP: freeze in individual serves i.e. 1-2 cups or in an ice cube tray for convenience. Note: cold broth may turn gelatinous if containing enough gelatin, it will liquify again when warmed. Uses Drink as is, seasoning with desired herbs/spices. Use as a base for soup/stew, adding vegetables and/or meat. Use in place of stock in any recipe requiring stock. Cook rice and quinoa in broth instead of water.

06.01.2022 HAPPY MOTHERS DAY// To all the mothers, grandmothers, great grandmothers, step mothers, foster mothers, mothers to be and mothers in waiting. To the mothers whove lost their babies and whos babies arent earth side yet. To the women who may not be mothers but raise our children, like our aunties and sisters and friends. I thank all the fabulous women in my world whove learned me up and shaped me into the women I am, and who help grow my child (soon to be children!) also. ...I am so blessed to be surrounded by some of the strongest, loving, fierce and wonderful women. And for all women, I salute you, the journey is long, by far the toughest one out there. Theres heart break and tears, but incredible joy and a sense of accomplishment like none other. Whatever motherhood journey youre on, know you are amazing and wonderful and you have got this!! I hope you enjoy your day and whether or not someone else celebrates you, celebrate yourself for the amazing woman you are. . . . #happymothersday #womenhood #parenting #mother #mum #mummy #mom #mumma #grandmother #aunty #raisingchildren #babies #pregnancy #mummastobe #fertility #takesavillage See more

05.01.2022 The waiting game. The anticipation. Trying to remain at peace with the growing excitement mixed with some uncertainty. This is the time to slow down, relax, take it easy. But Im so ready and excited for this baby to come. After years of trying to conceive these last few weeks seem to go on forever. Though I do appreciate the down time, things will get crazy soon enough. One thing Ive found really useful is an app called Expectful, I encourage any women on the fertility or pregnancy journey to check it out, its full of helpful meditations. In the mean time Ive been creating my birth space and preparing my body, mind and spirit for the next stage...labour! . . . #waiting #pregnancy #trimester3 #39weeks #meditation #findingpeace #creatingbirthspace #downtime #affirmations #visionboards #birthprep

04.01.2022 The best thing about being home, aside from being with my family, is I can eat real food again! It’s a disgrace what is being fed to sick, injured and convalescent patients in hospitals and I understand there’s more to it than funds. But seriously the last few days I’ve not only been recovering from abdominal surgery but also a breastfeeding mumma again, and the nutrient less foods provided did not improve the situation. Breakfast in particular, after being awake feeding anot...her life you need sustenance and a bowl of corn flakes, fruit cup (yep not even fresh fruit!) and a cup of tea does not cut it! So today, our first morning home, I decided on a European breakfast (cause damn, have I missed soft cheese!), still not an epic amount of protein but much more nutrient dense and nourishing than hospital food! And there’s plenty of protein on the menu for second breakfasts in an hour or two . . . #postpartum #postpartumnutrition #breastfeeding #hospitalfood #gladtonbehome #nutrition #nourshing #realfood #organic #glutenfree #sugarfree #balancedmeals #education #healthyfood #ipswichnutritionist #ipswichnaturopath See more

02.01.2022 This year I’m going to practice more self care. Self care comes in many forms, it doesn’t have to cost money, take up lots of time or push your limits. But it is necessary for a sustainable life. It’s a pattern as a woman and mother I’ve fallen into numerous times, taking care of everyone else’s needs before my own, often neglecting myself completely. Then I become run down, exhausted, unable to function optimally and thereby unable to properly look after others around me. Sound familiar? Self care is not selfish, it’s actually the opposite. What are you doing for you today? . . . #selfcare #lookafteryourself #timeout #recharge #health #wellness #selflove #goals #selfcaresunday

02.01.2022 Basking in the beauty of new life. New mummas get given a lot of advice, often unrequited but generally well intended. Everything from baby should sleep this long or feed like that or be this big and so on and so forth. Sometimes we need the wisdom of mothers before us and sometimes we need to listen and trust our own instincts. So mumma listen to yourself, if you want to hold your bubba longer than do, if you want to demand feed then do, if you want to bottle feed then do. What works for you and your baby is best for you and your baby, not what someone else tells you is right. . . . #newborn #babies #postpartum #postpartumbliss #sleepingbabies #instincts #parenting #attachmentparenting #newmumma #ipswichnaturopath

01.01.2022 BREASTFEEDING// With it being #worldbreastfeedingweek I thought Id share some on my breastfeeding journey. Im lucky to be able to, many women really struggle to breastfeed for various reasons so I am always grateful for the opportunity to do so. Its this gratitude I hold on to when it hurts, in the very early hours of the morning when my body aches and doesnt want to get up and sleep deprivation is strong. Breastmilk is literally magic! However, while breastmilk is aweso...me, FED is best NOT breast is best! Formula can be as good as it gets for some and there certainly are some good formulas on the market. Dont ever let anyone make you feel inadequate for formula feeding. I really struggled feeding with my first baby, like REALLY struggled. There were tears and sore nipples and times I wanted to give up. I feel sometimes we dont share the reality and struggles. But I persisted and it took the better part of 2 months to really get it happening. Then I went from complete noob to pro and fed until she was 22months! I wanted to get to 24, but I was over it and every feed left me feeling unhappy. And if its not right for both of you anymore then its time to wean. This time is completely different. My sweet boy has the best latch and feeds incredibly well making it an absolute dream. However, theres still sore nipples, frustration when waiting for my milk to come in (which took longer post op!) and cluster feeds that drive me a bit batty (but gives me opportunity to write posts!). So its not all rainbows and sunshine, but its still amazing that I can solely feed and nourish this little human. For me the biggest thing around breastfeeding is every woman should feel empowered to feed when, where and how she wants. She should never feel shame or guilt. Breastfeeding is natural and beautiful and creates a sacred bond between mother and child and does not belong behind closed doors, suffocating cloths or toilet stalls! Get the boobies out and feed your babies, damn anyone who looks poorly on you. . . . #breastfeeding #mothersmilk #fedisbest #womenempowerment #freethenipple #ipswichnaturopath See more
