Are you eating enough?
I’m not! Lunch is so annoying!
I’ve seen under eating a lot this week in clinic and it’s so interesting because I hadn’t really thought about it being an issue for lots of people but it is!

Your body is only as good as the fuel you give it…quality AND quantity!

I’ve been trying to work out a way to combine my skills as a Kinesiologist and a reiki practitioner into one amazing session and I’ve finally worked it out!

Welcome to The Chakra Reset!
A session where I combine kinesiology, reiki, tuning forks, essential oils and crystals to reset (balance) your chakras! 🤍💜💙💚💛🧡❤️

🤍 Crown chakra - connection to your higher self/universe/god
💜 Third Eye chakra - intuition and foresight
💙 Throat chakra - speaking your truth, standing up for what you believe in, saying no easily
💚 Heart chakra - love, joy and happiness
💛 Solar Plexus chakra - self esteem and confidence
🧡 Sacral chakra - centre for emotions, feelings, creativity, pleasure , intimacy
❤️ Root chakra - safety, security and connection to the earth

In this one hour session I will muscle test for the main emotion blocking the chakra, muscle test whether it needs a tuning fork vibration, essential oil or crystal and balance it with reiki energy!

So much fun! 🧘‍♀️🙏🏼

Cost will be the same as a kinesiology balance $110

Could you use this kinda love?
Send me a DM and I’ll get you booked in.

Are you curious about what a naturopathic consult with me looks like?

⏰ we have an hour to discuss ALL of your health concerns (after all, how can I support you if I don’t know everything?!)
📝 I ask LOTS of questions (even ones that might seem like they’ve got nothing to do with why you came to see me…HINT…they do!)
🪣 we establish what your capacity for change is and work within those parameters (small consistent changes give WAY better results than big, sweeping but inconsistent changes)
🥗 I’ll advise on how food can support you and your concerns
🧘‍♀️ I’ll suggest lifestyle changes
💊 I usually suggest one or two supplements (if needed)
🔬 I way suggest further testing investigations if we don’t have all the information needed to determine what’s going on
🤗 you’ll leave armed with knowledge, confidence and motivation to work towards being the healthiest version of you!

Health is a journey. It’s a lifestyle. But if you don’t know what to do and/or if you don’t have support from a team of health professionals, it can be bloody confusing! If you’d like me on your health team, you can book a naturopathic consult via my website at www.vanessagoldsmithnaturopathy.com.au or send me a DM and I’ll hook you up!

If you’ve been struggling for a while, it’s easy to feel like your body is working against you…
Like something is “broken” or too far gone.

But that’s not the truth.

Your body is designed to heal.
It’s constantly trying to bring you back into balance — every single day.

The symptoms you’re feeling?
They’re not random.
They’re messages.

The bloating, the fatigue, the food reactions, the discomfort…
They’re your body asking for the right kind of support.

Because healing isn’t about doing more or trying everything
It’s about doing what’s right for your body.

The right support can look like:
• Rebalancing your gut microbiome
• Repairing your gut lining
• Supporting digestion
• Regulating your nervous system
• Reducing the load on your body

And when you give your body what it actually needs…
Things start to shift.

Gently.
Gradually.
But powerfully.

It’s not too late.
Your body hasn’t given up on you — and you don’t need to give up on it either.

Support changes everything.

Booking open 💛

Have you been feeling super stressed, anxious or even depressed lately? You’re not alone! Seems like an epidemic right now and I can see why!

I know mental health is a complex issue and I certainly don’t pretend to know all the answers (or even any of the answers) but I do know that racing through life is not an answer and slowing down might just be a piece of the puzzle.

Try it and notice how it makes your feel and if you feel like sharing, I’d love to hear about it.

I see so many people stuck in the same loop…

Trying everything.
Cutting foods.
Adding supplements.
Googling symptoms late at night.

And still feeling confused.

Because when you’re guessing… everything feels like a maybe.
“Maybe this will help.”
“Maybe this is the problem.”
“Maybe I just need more time…”

But deep down, it’s exhausting not knowing.

Then comes the shift.

Instead of guessing… we test.

We look at what’s actually happening inside your gut —
your bacteria, inflammation, digestion, pathogens.

And suddenly, things start to make sense.

The bloating.
The food reactions.
The low energy.

It’s no longer random. It’s a pattern.

And when you can see what’s going on,
you can finally create a plan that’s targeted, specific, and effective.

No more throwing things at the wall and hoping they stick.

Just clarity.
Direction.
And real progress.

Clarity changes everything.

Everyone’s trying to “fix” their gut… but most people are making these without even realising it.

Cutting more foods.
Adding more supplements.
Pushing through stress like it doesn’t matter.

The problem?
Your gut isn’t a guessing game.

Restriction without direction can create more issues.
Supplements without strategy can backfire.
And a dysregulated nervous system can keep you stuck — no matter how “clean” you eat.

This is why a personalised approach matters.
Because what works for someone else might not work for you.

You don’t need to do this alone 🤍

How good is Autumn in Wodonga?!
It’s like the autumn sun on my skin is melting my stresses away! 🍁☀️
What glimmers of joy have you seen today?

We’ve been sold the idea that one capsule can fix everything…
But gut healing doesn’t work like that.

It’s not one-size-fits-all.

Your gut is made up of trillions of bacteria — and what works for one person can make another feel worse.

Different strains do different things:
• Some support digestion
• Some calm inflammation
• Some help with mood and the gut–brain connection

And then there’s timing.

Taking the “right” probiotic at the wrong time — or before your body is ready — can lead to more bloating, discomfort, or even setbacks.

This is why throwing random supplements at your gut often doesn’t work (and can leave you feeling frustrated).

Real gut healing looks at the bigger picture:
• Your nervous system
• Your digestion
• Your microbiome balance
• Your detox pathways

Because your body isn’t generic… and your protocol shouldn’t be either.

✨ Your gut plan should be as unique as you.

Why You May Feel Worse Before You Feel Better

You start doing “all the right things” for your health…
And suddenly — you feel worse.

More bloating.
More fatigue.
Headaches. Breakouts. Mood swings.

It’s confusing… and honestly, a bit discouraging.

But here’s what’s often happening 👇

1. Healing isn’t linear
Your body doesn’t heal in a straight line.
It prioritises, shifts, and recalibrates — sometimes bringing symptoms to the surface before they resolve.

2. Die-off reactions are real
When you start addressing things like bacteria, yeast, or parasites, they don’t just quietly leave.
They break down and release toxins as they die — this is often called a “die-off” reaction.
And your body has to process all of that.

3. Detox pathways matter more than you think
Your liver, gut, lymphatic system, and kidneys are responsible for clearing toxins.
If these pathways are sluggish or overloaded, you can feel worse before your body catches up.

This might look like:
• Fatigue
• Headaches
• Skin flare-ups
• Brain fog
• Digestive changes

But here’s the key:
Feeling worse doesn’t always mean something is wrong…
It can mean your body is working.

That said — pushing through intense symptoms isn’t the goal.

Because how you support your body through this phase is everything.

This is why personalised support matters 🤍
Not every protocol suits every body.
Not every symptom should be ignored.

The right approach meets your body where it’s at —
Supporting, not overwhelming.

✨ Healing should feel like progress… not punishment.

If you’re navigating this and unsure what’s “normal” vs too much —
You don’t have to figure it out alone.

Your gut and your brain are in constant conversation…and when one is struggling, the other feels it.

✨ Anxiety + gut
Ever noticed your stomach drop when you’re stressed?Or bloating flare when you’re overwhelmed?That’s not random — your gut and brain are deeply connected.

✨ The vagus nerve
This is your body’s communication highway between the gut and brain.When you’re in a stressed, “fight or flight” state, this connection becomes disrupted — digestion slows, symptoms flare, and your body goes into protection mode.

✨ Neurotransmitters in the gut
Around 90% of your serotonin (your “feel good” chemical) is made in the gut.So if your gut is inflamed, imbalanced, or under stress… your mood often reflects that.

If your nervous system is dysregulated,your body isn’t in a state to heal, digest, or absorb properly.

✨ Regulation before optimisation ✨

We calm the system first.We create safety in the body.Then we support the gut.

Because you can’t heal in survival mode.

Calm gut = calm mind 🤍

If your body has been feeling off, this is your sign to stop pushing harder…and start supporting your system differently.
