25.01.2022 During the wave of GUT HEALTH, fermentation, probiotics and green tea..... One crucial principal has been forgotten..... we need to STOP SLOW DOWN AND RELAX for our digestion to start working. Our digestion kicks into gear when our parasympathic nervous system (PNS) is activated. This happens when we are RELAXED The nick name for the PNS is rest and digest response and is the opposite system to the flight or fight response (sympathetic nervous system). ... Long story short- if you are doing anything else whilst eating, like shopping, working, walking, driving then your digestion won’t work. What will happen -> gas, bloating, reflux, constipation, etc etc Not to mention the fermentation, putrefaction and oxidisation of foods which the BAD GUT BUGS LOVE Did someone say dysbiosis? So sit down, chill out and smell your food. You do actually have the time.... . . #guthealth #guthealing #holistichealing #holistichealth #nutrition #fermentation #mindfuleating #shellharbournaturopath

25.01.2022 Massage is safe during pregnancy I have specialised training in pregnancy massage on top of my naturopathic degree and remedial massage diploma. A relaxed pregnancy has soooo many flow on benefits for the mum. ... Did you know that the stress state of the mum sets the scene for her babies stress response. If a mum is relaxed during pregnancy, her child is more likely to have a naturally relaxed set point for the rest of their life. It can work in the opposite too, if mum is dealing with lots of stress during pregnancy, her child will be more susceptible to stress and mental health conditions. Relaxation is a not a luxury, it’s an essential part of wellbeing. #pregnancymassage #preconceptioncare #pregnancy #kiama #kiamamassage #kiamanaturopath #naturalpregnancy

23.01.2022 When your making mini-me’s your genetics are very susceptible to chemicals and toxins. Doing what you can *(without becoming paranoid)* to reduce the chemical load is very Important. Here are some basic tips: ... Swap cleaning products over to more natural ones to reduce chemical toxicity. Swap plastic food and drink containers over to glass containers and water bottles to reduce BPA and other plastic chemicals. Avoid exposure to paints (like house paint), as they can have adverse effects during pregnancy. Minimise toxic beauty products like nail polish, hair spray, fake tan. Swap cosmetics over to natural based ones including shampoo/conditioner, makeup, deodorant. if you live near a busy road invest in a air purifier for your house to reduce your inhalation of diesel and other fumes. #preconceptioncare #pregnancy #detox #preconceptiondetox #kiama #naturopath #kiamanaturopath #pregnancymassage

20.01.2022 E A R T H I N G When you stand barefoot on the earth, electrons pass from the earth into your body. The electrical potential of body becomes balanced with the electrical potential of the earth. Allowing this natural balancing of electrons has been shown to have a number of health benefits including: Balanced stress levels...

16.01.2022 A few months ago I braved the elements with a tribe of water women to create these mystical photos highlighting the vulnerability of our planet, nature and humans. We are not immune to the environmental changes. I see it everyday in my naturopathic work. Environmentally induced stress and disease can occur from pollution, toxic chemical build up, lights, devices and a lack of time in nature. Check out @tamaradean exhibition at @martinbrownecontemporary in Paddington from July 25. #climateaction #mermaid #jervisbay #naturehealing #ocean #take3challenge @ Jervis Bay, Australian Capital Territory, Australia

16.01.2022 It takes 3-4 months for an egg to mature prior to ovulation. It takes between 70 and 80 days for sperm to mature before being stored for ejaculation. Hence what you eat, how you live, your stress levels and your toxin exposure will affect the quality of your egg and sperm as they develop. ... Studies show that - being relaxed exercising being a healthy weight prior to conception are all linked with creating a healthier child. The positive effects seem to show that it can affect the child for the rest of their life, reducing risks of obesity, cardiovascular disease, mental illness and more. NOW THATS PREVENTATIVE MEDICINE! #preconceptioncare #pregnancy #fertilityawareness #fertility #naturopathicmedicine #kiama #kiamanaturopath #pregnancymassage

13.01.2022 I Tea Tree One of Australia’s most well known native medicinal plants. Check out these huge tea tree plantations on the north coast NSW. The fresh leaves smell absolutely devine. The leaves can be used medicinally, as well as tea tree oil. In traditional indigenous cultures tea tree leaves were crushed and made into a antiseptic past for wounds. Be sure to get good quality tea tree oil that is in a dark bottle and stored away from heat and light. Tea tree... oil oxidises easily from light/ air/ heat when improperly stored, making a it skin irritant. #teatree #herbalmedicine #naturopathicmedicine #kiama #sambass #massage #essential oils #aromatherapy #indigenoushealing @ The Apothecary Kiama See more

08.01.2022 A body system I know very well! The musculoskeletal system is very interconnected with the rest of the body. Healthy muscle function supports the cardiovascular system, lymphatic system, respiratory system and nervous system. The list goes on. Our body systems are inseparable, what affects one will affect the other. #naturopathicmedicine #massage #kiama #anatomy #sambass

08.01.2022 Humans are in constant interaction with their environment. Our nervous system will send messages to the brain about our environment via our senses. What we see, smell, hear, taste and feel. The brain will respond by either activating: a) sympathetic nervous system, flight or fight ... b) parasympathetic nervous system, rest and digest. This activation is dependant on how comfortable, safe and pleasing our environment is. If we feel safe, happy, comfortable and relaxed in our environment, the brain will activate the parasympathetic nervous system stimulating DIGESTION. This is why we need to feel relaxed before and during eating. If our environment feels uncomfortable we won’t be able to digest and absorb nutrients from the food we eat.... even if it’s paleo fermented sprouted cooked biodynamic blessed organic grapes Basic tips for eating- Soft lighting Pleasant sounds like music or natural nature from your surroundings Pleasant smells preferably from your food Enjoyable company Relaxed conversation Comfortable seating Nice room temp Etc etc etc See more

07.01.2022 These photos illustrate that age-ing isn’t always due to turning a number north of 50. Degeneration of the musculoskeletal system is vastly accelerated by inactivity, chronic stress and poor diet. Not from turning 65.... Finding a physical activity you love will mean you will want to do it into your 70’s, 80’s and beyond. The benefits are limitless. I surf with people in their 60’s and 70’s all the time, and they are some of my favourite surf buddies.

01.01.2022 Gut health tip 3 Diaphragmatic breathing The diaphragm and breathing are essential for digestion and may be your secret healing technique for your digestive issues. Diaphragmatic breathing not only activates the parasympathetic nervous system, stimulating digestion........ It gives your digestive organs a soothing rhythmic massage. The oesophagus passes right through the middle of the diaphragm. This means any tension in the diaphragm will aggravate conditions such as indigestion, nausea and reflux. The beginning of the small intestine is also joined to the diaphragm via suspensory muscles. Every deep abdominal breath encourages blood flow and movement through the oesophagus, small intestines and other digestive organs. Studies show diaphragmatic breathing helps digestive conditions like IBS, indigestion and constipation. To learn abdominal breathing book a session. #guthealth #breathingexercises #breathing #indigestion #ibs #healing #parasympathetic #parasympatheticnervoussystem #naturopath #shellharbournaturopath #kiamanaturopath #massage
