Ever wondered if your symptoms are optional? 🤷🏽‍♀️

* inflammation and joint pain
* weight gain
* digestive discomfort, bloating, or pain
* headaches
* constipation or too loose bowels
* allergies
* poor sleep
* skin irritation, psoriasis or eczema
* painful menstruation and heightened
menopausal symptoms
* feeling more irritable, anxious or grumpy
* brain fog, dullness, Life just feels hard.

All of these symptoms are your body's way of asking for support, and are clues that your microbiome is not happy.

Without a conscious reset to break the cycle, these niggling symptoms tend to become more chronic and deepen into disease.

Seasonal Cleansing is a beautiful way to revitalise your body and mind and nip the disease process in the bud!

Now, as we transition into Autumn, is THE PERFECT TIME to take advantage of natures cycles, remove built up toxins and create deeper rejuvenation! 🌿🌿🌿

If this sounds good you're invited to join my Seasonal Cleanse and Reset

Empower yourself with understanding what your UNIQUE microbiome needs to be happy for your whole wellbeing.

This knowledge will become your superpower!

You can reduce inflammation, sleep better, feel clearer, lighter, more nourished and connected to your inner wisdom! ⁠
⁠
Keen?

We start this Saturday!

And...the next 3 people to join will receive a bonus 1 on 1 session with me! ✨✨✨

This is your chance to get personalised guidance from my 20+ years of experience in Ayurveda and evolving habits!

There is no such thing as true Balance as a point that stays fixed in time, not in handstands or our health! 😄

In Ayurveda, tue concept of Swasthya is the state of harmony in our body, mind, emotions and spirit.

Swasthya is not fixed. It is dynamic.

Sadly, we're constantly fed the idea that one superfood, a new diet or magic pill, or one amazing practitioner will 'fix us' and make us well.

How disempowering.

You know, & I know, that we humans are way more complex than that!

There is no one fix. There is no one person who will solve our problems, health or otherwise.

The heart of Swasthya (and Ayurveda), is that we create a deep inner knowledge about our own unique self and live in harmony with Nature and our own nature.

Most of us in the Western world have so much at our fingertips...

We're privileged to be able to buy tools for our Health online, in shops and from professionals.

But many of us don't understand the language of our body… the how and what it's try to communicate to through our symptoms.

Through the busy of life, we become disconnected from Nature and our rhythm of digestion, and from knowing what foods and habits are right for our Unique self.

Imagine for a moment knowing EXACTLY what your body needs to flourish!

Knowing how to get back on track when your health wobbles.

Ayurveda is NOT about just taking some herbs and carrying on.

It IS about leaning into, loving, and learning about who you are as unique individual so you can flourish and live with joy!

True health does not lie in quick fixes. It lies in knowledge and right action.

My Seasonal Cleanse gives you the tools for taking responsibility for your own health and wellbeing.

For creating a happy & strong gut, calm & regulated nervous system, good & nourishing hormones, and how to cultivate and grow contentment and appreciation for the gift of your Life.

This weekend we start!

Are you ready to release old and unhelpful habits that have snuck in (as they do for us all!), and get back in touch with what YOU need to support your good health on ALL levels of your being?

There’s something I wish every woman understood about her hormones…

They don’t begin in your ovaries.
They begin in your gut 🌿

In Ayurveda, we speak about Rasa , the body’s first tissue her juice or sap,, created from what you digest and absorb. It’s the nourishing essence that feeds every cell… including your hormones.

So the quality of your hormones is only ever as good as the quality of your Rasa.

And that depends on:
– your gut lining
– your digestion (agni)
– your daily habits
- and stress levels.

When digestion is strong and your gut is supported, your body creates clean, nourishing Rasa… and everything downstream benefits, including your hormones.

But when digestion is sluggish, stressed, or out of rhythm, this can show up as:
- hormonal imbalances & more intense perimenopause symptoms
– fatigue, brain fog, low mood
- cellulite
– skin flare-ups or dryness
– feeling heavy, irritable or even more emotional.

This is why Ayurveda focuses on the root causes,, not just symptoms.

And why seasonal cleansing can be so powerful 🍂

Not as restriction… but as a gentle reset.

A way to:
🌱 support your gut
🔥 rekindle digestion
✨️ restore rhythm
🌷 and rebuild the foundation of your hormones

If you’ve been feeling out of sync, low in energy, or ready for a reset after a full season, or Easter Indulgences! 🐣😄

This is your invitation to begin where it matters most 💛

I’d love to guide you inside my 15 Day Autumn Cleanse & Reset.

A deeply supportive way to nourish your gut, reset your habits, and restore balance from the inside out.

DM me “CLEANSE” or check the link in bio 🌿

P.s. image is me chillin and wriggling my toes in the sun! 😄🍂✨️

Magic happens when we slow down ✨️✨️✨️

I was reminded of this over the weekend while celebrating my birthday with my sister, my daughter (it was her birthday too!) and dear friends in the little seaside town of Normanville at the gorgeous beachhouse

We swam, walked (well… I hobbled with my broken toe 😅), sang in circle, played games, laughed, shared delicious food and simply were together.

Nothing dramatic. Nothing extraordinary.

And yet… it was deeply special.

The kind of quiet magic that fills your cup in ways you only notice when you pause long enough to feel it.

Like the owl who visited us on our last night 🌙

I’m naturally someone who moves fast and gets things done. For many years, that led me to burnout, feeling unwell, and living as though I was skimming across the surface of my own life.

Over the last decade, and especially through perimenopause, I’ve learned to recognise that pattern and gently bring myself back into my body.

Back into presence and connection, into my Feminine rather than always operating from my masculine which is depleting.

And life feels so much richer.

If you’ve been feeling rushed, disconnected or like you’re always thinking about the next thing on your to-do list… may this be a reminder that slowing down is not a luxury.

It’s where the good stuff lives! ✨

If this is something you’d love more of, there are a few spaces left at my Autumn Feminine Vitality Retreat.

This is more than a Yoga retreat.

It’s a space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and gently return to your heart and your inner wisdom.

It’s a space to learn fun somatic practices, visualisations and breathing techniques to connect to and make friends with the energy of your womb (even, and especially, if you’ve had a hysterectomy).

A space to feel nourished, grounded, and more you again.

Oh…. and enjoy being cooked for!

No meal prep or dishes for 3 nights! 🎉❤️

A beautiful reminder to us all....that prioritsing our needs and resting when we are tired is one of the BEST forms of self care we can do.

Yeas ago I made the decision not to work weekends so I could spend the time with my young family.

Suddenly, they are not so young!! 😮

One has pretty much flown the coup for travel and work, and the other is in year 12.

I do kind of miss them being so young & sweet, (well they still are young and sweet just different!) ... but I also love this stage and the freedoms and more time it gives me.

So I am happy to be opening up Saturdays for my clients and for doing what I love!

Starting this weekend I'll be in Aldgate every 2nd Saturday from 10.30am to 3pm.

Come and find me for:

🌷 a nourishing and grounding massage,

💛 a divine shirodhara treatment,

🌿or a consultation for your whole wellbeing....
for your good gut health, nervous system support, natural hormone balancing, and moving through perimenopause with ease and joy.

Did you know that i also do after hours on Wednesday nights?

See my availability and book here... https://living-ayurveda.splose.com/online-booking/5c5cedd6-7158-4c85-9969-70dc6af91b1d

Have a fun and restful weekend!
