25.01.2022 Shut the Front Door! . . Super excited to make the cut to teach yoga at the Seven Sisters Festival 2020 - the world's largest women's wellbeing festival! . . This "little" goal has been on my Vision Board this year and something I've been working towards for a while now..... . I've been given not 1 but 2!! slots over the 3 days to present a very special yoga practice to women and maidens. . . I'm super stoked as this is one of the most beautiful, empowering, growth filled, connected festivals I've ever attended and I've been wanting to return since 2017 when I solo camped and loved and embraced every moment.. . When you put yourself out there and do the work, dreams and goals come true. . . Who's going? Can't wait to see you there.... . . . . . . . . . . . . #thewellnessthread #sevensistersfestival #phillipislandnaturopath #phillipislandyogateacher #naturopathyandyoga #phillipisland #naturopath #twtchakrarange #yogaforeverywoman #heartcentredyoga #sisterhood #festivalvibes #festival #selfcare #bliss #healthandwellness #grow #holistichealth #womenshealth #mindbodyspirit #wellnessworkshops #womensupportingwomen #unwind #eventsmelbourne #havefun #goalsanddreams See more

23.01.2022 Endometriosis is one of the most common health issues experienced by women and one of the leading causes of infertility. . Its when tissue similar to the endometrium (uterine lining) grows in other areas of the body such as the Fallopian tubes, ovaries or pelvic lining. . Just like the endometrium, the misplaced tissue thickens and sheds in response to hormones, but has no way of passing through the body. This leads to pain and inflammation and sometimes adhesions or scar tis...sue. . Common symptoms include pain (usually pelvic) before or during menstruation, irregular or heavy periods, spotting between cycles, cramping or pain during bowel motions, urination or intercourse, bloating and infertility. . The most concerning statistic is that it commonly takes 7-12 years to be diagnosed and there is currently no cure. . The good news is, naturopathy and natural medicine are very effective in managing, treating and preventing symptoms. . Following an antiinflammatory diet (eliminating processed foods, alcohol, caffeine, refined carbohydrates and sugars) is a start. Together with herbal and nutritional medicine and further dietary and lifestyle modifications, you may find yourself moving, thinking and living quite differently with endometriosis.... . . . . . . . . . . . . . #womenshealthweek #womenshealthweek2019 #thewellnessthread #phillipislandnaturopath #phillipislandyogateacher #naturopathyandyoga #phillipisland #nutrition #naturopath #naturalmedicine #holistichealth #womenshealth #mindbodyspirit #wellness #energy #motivation #health #healthylife #knowyourbody #endometriosis #reproductivehealth #wellnessworkshops #qualified #healthtalk #answers #community #onstepatatime #youcandoit See more

23.01.2022 Don't forget to pop down at 2pm this Saturday for our complimentary workshop on the Essentials of Self Care in celebration of Women’s Health Week 2019. One of the latest buzz words going around, there’s more to self care than massages, spa retreats and weekends away. How can we put it into daily practice and why is it so important? This is a free event but bookings are essential due to limited space. Please contact Aaron Yowza Wellbeing for bookings.

22.01.2022 Let's get to the heart of the matter . Whilst many Australian women think their greatest health risk is breast cancer, it is actually coronary heart disease (CHD). And...wait for it...in Australia, CHD causes more deaths in women than in men. Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) refers to all diseases involving the heart and blood vessels, with the 3 most common in Australia being CHD, stroke and heart attack. It's important to know that symptoms of heart attack in women can be... quite different to men. Rather than easily recognisable crushing chest pain, women may experience shortness of breath, back, neck and abdominal pain, indigestion, nausea or vomiting, palpitations and fatigue. Risk factors for heart attack in women that we can't change include family history, age (as we get older our CVD risk increases, especially for women post menopause) and ethnicity. Risk factors we can modify include smoking, being overweight, elevated cholesterol, diet, physical inactivity, diabetes, blood pressure and depression. Now is the time to quite literally put your heart and soul into your health. Make a commitment to wholeheartedly know and take care of your body, mind, spirit and heart.... . . . . . . . . . #womenshealthweek #womenshealthweek2019 #thewellnessthread #phillipislandnaturopath #phillipislandyogateacher #naturopathyandyoga #phillipisland #nutrition #naturopath #naturalmedicine #holistichealth #womenshealth #mindbodyspirit #wellness #energy #motivation #health #healthylife #fitfun #exercise #heartdisease #wellnessworkshops #qualified #healthtalk #answers #community #onstepatatime #youcandoit See more

21.01.2022 Have you seen our article in the latest edition of our local Phillip Island Vibe magazine? I've been wanting to write about health and wellness for a long time (like years), but I've been holding back. . A little voice in my head worries about what to write, how to write and if people will be interested to read it. There's also apprehension of approval and rejection. . Finally, a bigger voice said, just write. Write what you know, what you're passionate about, write from expe...rience and with purpose, truth and authenticity. Use your voice, share it and then, let go. So, I wrote my first little Health & Wellness article and hope to continue to do so as regular contributor to the magazine. . Is there something you're holding yourself back from, a dream or desire that you have, but you keep coming up against negative self talk. It's not about being perfect, it's about being authentic. Give yourself permission to find and use your own voice.... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #motivationalmonday #mindsetmonday #phillipislandnaturopath #phillipislandyogateacher #thewellnessthread #naturopathyandyoga #naturopath #mobilenaturopath #workshopfacilitator #phillipisland #wellnessworkshops #believeinyourownpotential #growthanddevelopment #shineyourlight #letgo #findyourvoiceandtrustit #phillipislandvibemagazine #withinyouisallyouneed #perfectlyimperfect #inspiredmondays #ilovemondays #inspirationalquotes See more

20.01.2022 As someone with a very busy mind and endless to do list, this is something I regularly have to work on. Truly being in the present moment brings about a desired peace and contentment, but it's often easier said than done. . Sometimes we just turn up and run through the motions, doing things automatically, without paying full attention or mindfulness to what we are doing. . I'm often invite my yoga students to "let your practice today be as if every movement you make is for th...e first time". Instead of mechanically running through the poses or rushing ahead or wanting to be like the ridiculously flexible person next to you, how about doing it, as if for the first time. . This means bringing complete awareness to your body and how it feels in each movement and moment. Letting go of self judgement, what's right or wrong and moving with your breath and the sensations. It takes practice, but the reward is a deeper connection and contentment. . This can apply to other aspects of our life. If we truly practice mindfulness, even in every day activities like washing the dishes, going for a walk and actually feeling our feet hit the earth, actively listening to and admiring nature, sitting down to enjoy a full cup of tea, switching our phone off when out for dinner, then, we become a human being rather than a human doing. . A little mindfulness goes a long way. What one thing can you do today with your wholehearted attention? After all, the present moment is all you really have, so whatever it is you are doing, wherever you are, be all there.... . . . . . . . . . . . . . #motivationalmonday #mindsetmonday #phillipislandnaturopath #phillipislandyogateacher #thewellnessthread #naturopathyandyoga #naturopath #mobilenaturopath #workshopfacilitator #twtchakrarange #phillipisland #wellnessworkshops #mindfullness #presenceandmindfullness #believeinyourownpotential #growthanddevelopment #shineyourlight #withinyouisallyouneed #inspiredmondays #ilovemondays #inspirationalquotes See more

19.01.2022 Have you ever thought about your bladder control or how often you got to the toilet? Urinary incontinence, or leaking urine, is a common health problem for women, but many suffer in silence. . A weakening of the nerves and muscles leads to poor bladder control. . Two of the most common types are stress incontinence (e.g when you laugh, sneeze or exercise) triggered by pressure on the bladder and urge incontinence (when you feel a strong urge to visit the toilet but don't m...ake it in time, or you visit the bathroom frequently) triggered by an overactive bladder. . Common causes include pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, poor toilet habits, constipation and straining, medications or underlying health conditions. . Early treatment can reduce or even completely eradicate many of the symptoms. Natural treatments include eating more fibre, drinking enough water to say hydrated, reducing caffeine, alcohol and sugar, maintaining a healthy weight, bladder retraining and strengthening your pelvic floor muscles with daily exercises. . Take control of your bladder and health today.... . . . . . . . #womenshealthweek #womenshealthweek2019 #thewellnessthread #phillipislandnaturopath #phillipislandyogateacher #naturopathyandyoga #phillipisland #nutrition #naturopath #naturalmedicine #holistichealth #womenshealth #mindbodyspirit #wellness #motivation #health #healthylife #knowyourbody #incontinenceawareness #wellnessworkshops #qualified #healthtalk #answers #community #onstepatatime #youcandoit See more

Do you wake up exhausted, reach for coffee as a pick me up, feel stressed, irritable, too tired to exercise? Is the day running you and you're just moving through the motions?

15.01.2022 Three little words that can make a difference to someone's life. Seeing who's struggling isn't always obvious. Today is "Are You OK? Day" and its about empowering you to connect with the people around you and start a conversation with anyone who may be having a difficult time. Asking "Are you OK" though is just the first step. It's important that you follow 4 steps:... 1. Ask them - Are you OK? How are you travelling? What's been happening? 2. Listen to their response - without judgement. I'm ready to listen if you want to talk. Is there someone else you'd rather talk to? 3. Encourage action and offer support - How can I help? What would take the pressure off? What do you enjoy doing? Have you thought about seeing a professional? 4. Check in. Make time to check in with them again later. Let's chat again in a couple of days. There are some more helpful conversation tips on the R U OK website. I am also always here for my friends, family and community so please know you are supported and loved. May everyone check in with their friends and loved ones today and every day and enjoy a meaningful conversation. Spread the love, make some noise about it being OK to no be OK.... . . . . . . . . . . . . . #RUOKDay #RUOK #RUOKeveryday #trustthesigns #suicideprevention #communityhealth #mentalhealth #phillipislandnaturopath #phillipislandyogateacher #thewellnessthread #naturopathyandyoga #naturopath #mobilenaturopath #phillipisland #phillipislandcommunity #holisitichealth

11.01.2022 I took my niece to see the scrumdiddlyumptious musical Charlie and the Chocolate Factory yesterday. The amazing Roald Dahl colourfully reminds us, through his wildly imaginative Willy Wonka, that imagination leads to freedom.... By turning inward, we access our true creativity, stimulating our mind and our pure imagination to enrich our lives and the world around us. Imagination leads to dreams which lead to goals which lead to change. Take a look and you'll see into your imagination.... . . . . . . . . . . . . #motivationalmonday #mindsetmonday #phillipislandnaturopath #phillipislandyogateacher #thewellnessthread #naturopathyandyoga #naturopath #mobilenaturopath #workshopfacilitator #twtchakrarange #phillipisland #wellnessworkshops #believeinyourownpotential #growthanddevelopment #shineyourlight #withinyouisallyouneed #charlieandthechocolatefactory #willywonka #inspiredmondays #ilovemondays #inspirationalquotes

07.01.2022 In Perth at the moment, I'm surrounded by beautiful wildflowers. . What do you suppose it means to be a wildflower? . A wildflower is untamed, strong, determined, courageous, fierce and beautiful. It grows freely, without intentionally being planted - you might say it grows from nothing into something.... . It grows with faith, trusting that it can and will emerge and flourish anywhere, bringing colour and joy to the landscape. . For me, I would rather be a wildflower than a rose. Independent, unique, adaptable and free, expanding and growing without fear, bursting forth with wonder and radiance.. . . . . . . . . . . . . #motivationalmonday #mindsetmonday #phillipislandnaturopath #phillipislandyogateacher #thewellnessthread #naturopathyandyoga #naturopath #mobilenaturopath #workshopfacilitator #twtchakrarange #phillipisland #wellnessworkshops #mindfullness #believeinyourownpotential #growthanddevelopment #shineyourlight #withinyouisallyouneed #wildflowers #shesawildflower #amongthewildflowers #wildflowerseason #inspiredmondays #ilovemondays #inspirationalquotes See more

06.01.2022 There's a little bit of change in the air at the moment and whilst it can make me a fraction uneasy, a tad resistant as I feel things being thrown a little off balance, I know ultimately that change is the only way forward and I have to embrace it. . Change is the one constant in life, it is inevitable, whether it's big or small and whether we want it or not. . So why do we resist it? Is it fear that holds us back? Are we afraid of the uncertainty it brings?... . The current change for me is not dramatic at all, just a little uncomfortable, but even so, I feel a slight resistance. Ultimately though I have two choices, I can continue to resist it or embrace it. So I'm learning to embrace it knowing that change always leads to growth. . Is there a change that you're resisting, that you might just be able to see as less of an obstacle and more of a way to move forward? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #motivationalmonday #mindsetmonday #phillipislandnaturopath #phillipislandyogateacher #thewellnessthread #naturopathyandyoga #naturopath #mobilenaturopath #workshopfacilitator #twtchakrarange #phillipisland #wellnessworkshops #mindfullness #believeinyourownpotential #growthanddevelopment #shineyourlight #withinyouisallyouneed #changeistheonlyconstant #embracechange #leanin #inspiredmondays #ilovemondays #inspirationalquotes See more

04.01.2022 1 in 3 women will experience anxiety and 1 in 6 women will experience depression during their lifetime. There are so many factors that contribute to our mental health including major life transitions such as pregnancy, motherhood, menopause and retirement or negative life experiences like infertility, loss, poverty, violence, discrimination, unemployment and isolation. There are many things you can do to manage and recover from mental health and to stay well. Finding the ...right support and tools is key as everyone responds differently to the various treatments and therapies. Natural remedies include nutritional supplementation that promote neurotransmitter synthesis and balance within the brain, herbal medicine to calm the mind and enhance mood and of course dietary and lifestyle changes. You have to discover what works for you and it often takes time, patience and strength. You can start with learning a little more about your health at our complimentary Essentials of Self Care Workshop tomorrow held 2pm-4pm at Yowza Wellbeing Studio, 3/22 Thompson Avenue, Cowes.

02.01.2022 My upcoming train journey on the Indian Pacific, later this week with my Mum, to celebrate her 70th Birthday, got me thinking about this quote. . Marianne Williamson offers us this perfect reminder to stop and let go of things that are not meant for us. Sometimes it can feel like some opportunities pass us by, that we missed out on something amazing, that other people seem to get the chance to do the things we hoped or dreamed of for ourselves. . But in reality, these things ...weren't meant for us. It brings us back to trusting that everything is just as it should be, that your train is on the right track, that everything you need is on it's way to you. . Marianne also suggests that, rather than desperately trying to stop or jump on board the train you think you want, let it keep going, then the one behind it the one that IS your train - can make it into the station. . What I take from this is, stay on your own track, stop comparing yourself with others, stop worrying or thinking that you missed out and instead, enjoy the view and freedom your own train brings. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #motivationalmonday #mindsetmonday #phillipislandnaturopath #phillipislandyogateacher #thewellnessthread #naturopathyandyoga #naturopath #mobilenaturopath #workshopfacilitator #twtchakrarange #phillipisland #wellnessworkshops #believeinyourownpotential #growthanddevelopment #shineyourlight #withinyouisallyouneed #perfectlyimperfect #waitingforthetrain #stayonyourowntrack #justasitshouldbe #yourstation #inspiredmondays #ilovemondays #inspirationalquotes See more
