23.01.2022 Super excited to announce that my website is officially published . One of my projects this year (whilst barricaded inside my bubble) has been to develop my unique flavour as a naturopath. Specialising in children's health and embracing my own zest for life and child-like wonder, I have created a myriad of posts that seek to address the deeper aspects of health, healing, and living a fulfilling and happy life . My sincere wish is to impart some of the wisdom and insights ...I have gained in my pursuit of health and happiness over the years, inspired, as always, by the wisdom of nature . https://naturasophia.com.au/ #naturopath #naturopathicmedicinne #naturopathy #holism #healthyliving #healthscience #healthandwellness #health #life #inspire #creativepursuits #create #holistichealth #healthandwellbeing #being #mentalhealth #mindbody #mindbodyspirit #scientist #spirit #spiritualjourney #spirituality #science #childrenshealth #allergies #allergicconditions #eczema #asthma #hayfever #familyhealth

22.01.2022 The blooming wisteria is such a wonder to behold and will be forever in my heart . It's been an absolute delight to experience the full blossom and bloom of the seasons on my beloved grandparent's property this year, soaking up some much-needed nature-nurture. This is an experimental painting on my XP graphic pad and I greatly enjoyed the excuse to spend a couple of days basking in the radiance of the blossoming wisteria with its harmonics of humming bees and fragrant aroma...tics. (Such a Taurus soaking up the abundance of nature ) Follow your heart and you can never go wrong . #naturopath #naturopathy #holism #holistichealth #health #art #artist #painting #joy #bliss #love #flowers #flower #floral #flowerpower #naturenurture #nature #naturecure #lovenature #naturelove #naturalistic #nature #healthyliving #followyourbliss #creative #creatitivity #naturasophia #wisdomofnature

21.01.2022 A little love (and don't forget to lick the bowl ) My Omi’s almond meal chocolate cake is a personal favourite when it comes to all things chocolatey. Gluten free and nutritionally abundant in calcium and magnesium two important macrominerals for the contraction (calcium) and relaxation (magnesium) of our muscles and heart. We burn through magnesium during heightened periods of stress which can cause muscular tension, twitches, increased anxiety and restless legs. Low i...ntake of calcium can result in the body stripping this essential micromineral from our bones to ensure adequate heart contraction a consequence my Opa experienced first-hand that caused his spine to develop kyphosis. Almonds became an integral part of his diet to supplement his low dairy intake. Recipe: (I always double the recipe hehe - others use 75g for everything) 150g almond meal 150g organic or coconut sugar (I use slightly less depending on sugar content of chocolate so feel free to play) 150g dark cooking chocolate 150g butter (preferably grass-fed!) 6 eggs Method: Preheat oven to 180 degrees C. Melt chocolate in saucepan over low heat with a little butter, stirring until melted. Mix in sugar. Place alone meal and eggs into a bowl and mix in choclately goodness. Place in baking paper and greased tin (preferably heart shaped ) and bake for for 40 minutes (you want it just slightly undercooked for extra moistness!). Try not to eat it all in one go #gutenfreeg #naturopath #naturalhealth #healthy #diet #nutrition #nutritional #healthyliving #holistichealth #holism #naturopathic #naturalmedicine #wisdomofnature #naturasophia #eating #eat #healthandwellbeing #vitality #empower #spiritual #spirituality #sustainableliving #loveeats #love #chocolate #chocolatelove #lovechocolate

20.01.2022 Positivity is a choice. It is choosing to play with life, to release your inner child, and to not let the little things weigh you down and steal your joy. For me it is the little things that bring sunshine to each day, and though it is not always easy, the ripple effect of a friendly comment, a warm smile, a helping hand, fills the heart and uplifts the spirit to tackle any obstacle that comes our way. Glass half full, or glass half empty, our thoughts have the power to crea...te our reality, simply from the perspective we choose to see from, and our actions reflect these thoughts. Whether you believe you can or you can’t, you are right. ~Henry Ford #positivity #staypositive #naturopath #naturalhealth #lovelife #rainbow #magic #holistic #holistichealth #holism #naturopathic #naturalmedicine #wisdomofnature #naturasophia #healthandwellbeing #vitality #empower #spiritual #spirituality #sustainableliving #harmony #positive

15.01.2022 Runny nose, puffy, itchy bloodshot eyes, sneezing, a constant post nasal drip, cough, irritability, fatigue and brain fog - let's face it - allergy symptoms suck . Many people even react to general antihistamines, finding even the non-drowsy can cause adverse side-effects. The good news? Herbal medicine offers complimentary and alternative options to managing your hayfever symptoms, working with your body's immune system to alleviate these nuances that become the normal way-of-life for many of us. Nigella or black cumin seeds have been shown to be as effective as common antihistamine tablets (cetirizine and montelukast) for treating hayfever symptoms.

13.01.2022 A Message For Carers Being a Caregiver has it's fair share of ups and downs and will often show you the best and worst sides of yourself. This is a role that will break down your external walls and challenge your deeper values in life. Noone can understand what you go through unless they have experienced it first hand, and this can cause many Carers to feel terribly uncertain, vulnerable and alone at times. Caring has taught me patience, presence and forgiveness. It has ...forced me to reflect upon my reactions, open my mind, let go of the little things and be kind to myself when I don't get it right. We are all learning through this trial and error of life and whether you're a parent, family member, friend or health care worker, you are doing a brave and compassionate job that takes great courage everyday . #caring #naturopath #naturopathicmedicine #love #care #holism #holisticliving #mentalhealth #healthcare #health #healthandwellbeing #spiritual #holistic #healthyliving #caregiver #caringforothers #selflove #courage #bravery #compassion #forgiveness #bless #heal #healthandhappiness #caringforcarers #spirit #soul #lovelife #life [photo obtained from Adobe Photos)

13.01.2022 A shoutout to my amazing ReMed Family The team at ReMed have been so supportive during the unprecedented events of 2020, regularly checking in with each other and greatly supporting the mental health of their patients throughout the extended lockdown in Victoria. These have been very uncertain times for many small businesses and it is a testament to the amazing team at ReMed, and clinic directors and mentors Keonie Moore and Emma Hodson, who have adapted time and time again... and have come out stronger than ever. I am so thankful to work with such a supportive, caring and resilient team #love #naturopathy #naturopaths #naturopathicmedicine #care #lockdown #mentalhealth #healthcare #remed #healthyliving #holism #support #caring #supportive #holistichealth #holisticliving #team #teamwork #workfamily

12.01.2022 Balance is the key of life . In my experience it is the cornerstone of living a happy, healthy life. Balance isn't something we achieve but rather something we are constantly moving towards, like balancing on a seesaw, meeting our tipping points and moving our feet to realign our center. It is the basis of holistic health and wellbeing and reflected in the regulatory mechanism of our bodies of homeostasis, constantly moving toward an equilibrium of health. For me, balance ...is about coming back to nature, connecting with people, practicing karmic yoga, the symbolic activities of day-to-day life, and moving with the natural flow of life. It is a harmonising of the natural ups and downs of this existence and finding peace in this constantly changing world. Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them ~ that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like. ~Lao Tzu How do you find your balance?

12.01.2022 "The golden-orange flowers look like a piece of sun fallen on the earth" ~ Matthew Wood, The book of Herbal Wisdom. Calendula is well known for it's healing prowess in both traditional and scientific literature and is particularly indicated for dry, cracked skin conditions (eczema, psoriasis) and scar healing, soothing to the inflammed digestive tract and greatly beneficial for conditions affecting the lymph nodes and immune health. "These three uses: as (1) a wound medicin...e, (2) a remedy for affections affecting of the lymphatic glands, and (3) a general "immune tonic", as we would call it today - are interlocking and bring out the true genius of the plant". ~Matthew Wood, The book of Herbal Wisdom. #herbalmedicine #health #wellness #healing #flower #flowerpower #naturalmedicine #naturenurture #holistic #holistichealth #holism #naturopath #naturalmedicine #naturopathy #nature #healingpowerofnature #wisdomofnature #gaia #motherearth #spiritual #spirit #plantmedicine #vitality #nurture #naturecure #mothernature

10.01.2022 Colour you can feast your eyes on Who says healthy has to be boring? Healthy, delicious and easy ~ this simple roast vege pasta is a great addition in the recipe rotation! For this meal I diced up some beetroot, brocoli, pumpkin, capscium and mushrooms and roasted them in the oven with a splash of olive oil, some slices of grass-fed butter for added caramelisation (chef tip). I usually opt for a brown/black rice or buckwheat pasta for added nutritional value (food as medi...cine 101). Cook up pasta of choice, and mix together with roast vege, an olive oil and lemon juice sauce, salt and pepper to taste with optional parmesan and parsley garnish . #foodasmedicine #healthy #healthandwellbeing #naturopath #naturopathicmedicine #prescriptionforhealth #nutrition #foodasmedicine #foodie #foodporn #naturopathic #holistic #health #nutritious #delicious #colour #naturasophia #pasta #healthyliving #holisticmedicine #mindbodyspirit #holism #naturenurture #deliciouslynutritious #food

07.01.2022 I always feel better after spending time in nature and really love the science that supports our need for a physical connection to the earth . Our busy modern lives and concrete jungles have disconnected us from these natural roots of our existence. The rubber soles of our shoes block the health-promoting electrical conductivity of earth to skin connection. Abundant with negative charged electrical frequencies (free electrons), the earth facilitates a simple means of recha...rging the body with antioxidant healing shown to reduce inflammation, improve sleep, and ground anxiety. Take time to nurture yourself with nature and feel the difference . #naturenurture #nature #love #earth #earthing #grounding #mothernature #mothergaia #gaia #sophiagaia #health #naturopath #healthyliving #holistic #holisitchealth #holism #naturalmedicine #naturenurture #nurture #loveyourself #flowers #healing #healthandwellbing #listentoyourbody #connect #connectwithnature #spiritual #spirituality #lovelife #loveyourself #selfcare

04.01.2022 Ginkgo biloba kinda sounds like a character out of Hogwarts, and with its powerful antioxidant capacity that helped it survive the Hiroshima atomic bombings in 1945, it is certainly a magical herbal remedy for the books! Ginkgo is a fantastic brain-boosting herb that helps prevent and treat Alzheimer's disease and improve cognitive function in students. Great for promoting memory, concentration, tinnitus relief and circulation, Ginkgo is a favourite herbal remedy for stimu...lating the body, mind and spirit . Whilst rare, this herb is contraindicated in people with high activity of the MAO-A gene, and indicated for patients with low MAO-A activity, so consulting with a naturopath is recommended prior to treatment . #ginkgo #herbalism #herbs #herbalmedicine #naturopath #naturopathicmedicinne #naturasophia #naturalmedicine #naturenurture #naturcure #healthyliving #healthscience #health #healthandwellness #holism #holistichealth #holistichealing #plants #wisdomofnature
