With all the crazy out in the world, we can only do so much to help, BUT we can tend to our own hearts.

Protect ourselves from the overwhelm of negativity and sadness and war.

I don't mean we become blind to the suffering, but it is important to tend to ourselves as we do what we can.

In Ayurveda the heart is the seat of Sadhaka Pitta.... the fire of discernment, courage, intelligence and enthusiasm.

When we have a Sadhana (daily practice) of tuning into our hearts wisdom, we feed this courage and discernment.

We feed our connection to ourself and shared humanity.

Let's all tend to our hearts as much as we tend to others, and expand this loving & wise energy into the world.

💛🧡❤️

Perimenopause doesn't have to be hard.

My guided online course Embodied Wisdom is full of simple, natural, and effective ways to move through perimenopause with ease and set yourself up for good health NOW and into your future!

Women who've been there have shared....

“I’ve lost 6kg and feel clearer and lighter in my body and my mind.”
— Jane

“My digestion has improved so much, and I finally understand what foods my body needs to feel good. That feels incredibly empowering.”
— Celia

“No more hot flushes and I’m sleeping so much better. I feel happier physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.”
— Pip

"I've gained invaluable insight into my body type, nutritional needs and controlling the roller-coaster of menopause. My chronic insomnia (bane of my life!) has melted away and my overall sense of well being is wonderful."
— Julienne

Some women asked if Embodied Wisdom will be useful if they are post menopausal and the answer is a resounding YES! The habits and processes inside this program will give you so much knowledge about what your unique self needs as you move forward in life.

Inside Embodied Wisdom you'll find:

🌿 Informational videos to give you greater wisdom about what you're experiencing AND how to alleviate expressions of imbalance that can last well after your last period... hot flushes, anxiety, not feeling yourself, weight gain, poor sleep - it is possible to alleviate these experiences!

🌿 Guidance to build Embodied Habits for hormone balance, happier digestion, better sleep, calmer minds and emotions, stable energy and more!

🌿 Recipes for gentle cleansing, liver, and lymphatic support.

If perimenopause has been hitting harder than you expected with disrupted sleep, stubborn weight gain, hot flushes, anxiety, bloating, mood swings, or that unsettling feeling of “why don’t I feel like myself anymore?”... I have the support that you need.

And a very special offer for you!

This transition can ask a lot of women. And pushing through the same way you always have generally makes things worse, not better.

For the next 72 hours, I’m opening a flash sale of 65% OFF my 9-week self-paced program Embodied Wisdom.

Normally $797, you can now access soooo much supportive and transformational info for ONLY $279! You save over $500!

Embodied Wisdom is the culmination of over 20 years of working with women, and my own lived experience of early menopause.

I've run Embodied Wisdom live 5 times and helped hundreds of women transform their menopause experience. Now it's an online guided self paced course to provide this support to you too!

It’s designed to help you:

🌿 balance your hormones naturally

🌿 sleep more deeply and wake feeling restored

🌿 reduce the inflammation, brain fog, anxiety, hot flushes

🌿 nourish and calm your nervous system

🌿 support your digestion and steady energy

🌿 release outdated patterns and habits that are preventing you from positive change

🌿 move through perimenopause with more ease, confidence, trust, and good health.

Embodied Wisdom isn’t about pushing your body into better health, or powering through symptoms.

Nor is it a quick fix approach or another program asking you to overhaul your life.

It’ is about treating the root causes of imbalance and learning how to live in a way that supports your changing hormones NOW, and as you move forward into the next chapter of your life.

Embodied Wisdom weaves small, nourishing habits into your everyday life; habits that calm your nervous system, support digestion, balance hormones, and reconnect you to your body’s innate intelligence.

These are rhythms you can return to again and again, and evolve as your needs change.

If your body has been asking (maybe loudly) for something different... let this be your moment to say YES to yourself!

Make 2026 your year of good health and consciously choosing ease and joy!

This week a yoga student shared that each time she does yoga she feels emotional and teary, sometime during and always at the end of the class in the stillness of relaxation.

We chatted about why this might be.

It's common to feel some emotion welling up as we mindfully move our body.

We store our experiences in our bodies which can be released through movement.

Another POV is that our bodies are starved of real connection.

We tend to be disconnected from our bodies in our everyday. We live and operate from our head & mind in a stream of continual doing.

So, when we slow down and DO tune in, it feels like we're finally meeting a long lost friend who's been craving this connection and attention.

Tears are a big sigh of relief. An 'Oh You Do See Me!"

A big "YES I want more of this."

This.... time for myself, for stillness, for meeting myself, a moment for self love and acknowledgement of all that you do each and every day.

If reading this makes you long for some time to connect with yourself, check out my Autumn Feminine Vitality Retreat.

4 days of peaceful inner connection, Yoga, Women's Wisdom and divine vego food!

Places are fill up and it's going to be beautiful!

If you're feeling a bit blah after the festive season, DON'T give yourself a hard time, but DO empower yourself with a simple and effective reboot for your gut, your habits, your rhythms and feel good again!

I've put together a short DIY Cleanse that you can do anytime and the New Year is a perfect time for a reset!

Over 10 days you'll be guided through 3 simple phases to nourish your nervous system, release toxins, support and reset your gut, your habits and your rhythms for your whole wellbeing.

This is an opportunity to redefine your relationship with your body and consciously choose your habits, to create stronger, happier digestion & create better health.

Many of our 'not so good habits' compromise digestion, which contributes to body inflammation, joint pain, mood and energy swings, poor sleep and other imbalances.

Stay on the same trajectory, and these little imbalances, your body's way of asking for change, can turn into disease.

Hit the reset button and give your system a chance to release toxins to revitalise now and protect your future health!

Inside the Cleanse you'll receive:

🌿 Access to the Course Hub with informative video trainings, guided questions. quizzes, and downloads

🌿 Recipes and guidebook to download and print

🌿 Meditations and breathing practices

🌿 Daily emails to guide you and keep you on track!

When it comes to cleansing and taking care of your self with Ayurveda, there is NO 'one size fits all' approach !

Inside this DIY Cleanse you'll learn about your unique Ayurvedic constitution so you can design an experience which suits your body's needs.

Head over to my bio to join and experience how the little choices you make each day truly do create your reality and can help you to thrive!

Check it out here.... https://living-ayurveda.newzenler.com/courses/10-day-cleanse

Here's to a healthy and happy 2026!
