A little intro and a gentle nudge to prioritise you (and a sneaky spring discount)💚

It’s so easy to normalise symptoms or push looking after our own health to the back burner when we’re faced with competing demands every day. But if this continues we start to hear much louder shouts from our body’s in the form of more chronic health issues.

For those of you I haven’t worked with, I’m a naturopath & herbalist of nearly ten years and still love every day I get to help people know their bodies better, connect to plant medicine and learn to love eating seasonal, fresh food.

Working with me you’ll feel heard and like you have someone in your corner. I’ll help you connect the dots to understand more fully how you came to your current state of health.

I work with folks at all ages and stages and have a strong interest in gut health and the microbiome and supporting the nervous system and stress response. Working with these two pillars of health can help to shift so many long standing health conditions.

To help motivate you I’m offering a Spring discount- 40% off initial consults Sept through to Oct 31. Come and join me for a cuppa and 90 mins to focus completely on you 💚.

** Returning clients be on the lookout for a sneaky discount code via email **

Consults available over a hot cuppa in my cosy apothecary in Evans Head or in the comfort of your own space via zoom or phone.

Or I’d love to hear from you if have any questions or would like to have a chat about how I could support you 💚

One of my pet peeves! This system is so flawed and misleading 😡

I’m going to keep this short(ish) because I already did a bit of a ranty post about it this week.

We need help to stop the flawed Health Star Rating System from being made mandatory.

This isn’t about throwing away the system, it’s about fixing it before it becomes mandatory.

We’re standing with one of Australia’s leading paediatric nutritionist from in her quest to have this flawed system undergo a full, independent review and ask that addicted, preservatives and the level of processing be included in the system.

We need to get this to 5,000 signatures in order to present this petition to the Health Minister and show that us mums are serious! Our children’s health is too important.

Please sign the petition - it takes 30 seconds

Thank you.

GIVEAWAY!

A little giveaway…

Skullcap is such a beautiful herb for our times.

So many of us have so much going on in our brains that’s it’s almost impossible to slow our thoughts. In a time when multitasking is seen as a superpower, it’s no wonder we all have a gazillion tabs open at once.

We can’t switch off enough to drift off at night and it becomes difficult to focus on a task (let alone finish a page of a book, not drift off halfway through a podcast, zone out when our kid is trying to tell us about their day).

We find ourselves jiggling in our seats or feeling our eyelids twitch as the stress and tension tries to make its way out of our bodies.

No herb is a magic pill but some like Skullcap can help calm our thoughts, ease tension and allow us some rest, so that we can have the space to think clearly about where we might be able to make some small changes to help us feel more grounded in the everyday.

As a thank you for your support, I’d love to gift a bottle of my Skullcap glycetract each to you and a friend.

To be in the running:
- be sure that both of you are following me
- tag a friend who you think needs some Skullcap in their life
- share this post (don’t forget to tag me so I see it 💚)

*I’ll be picking 3 lucky winners- giveaway closes Monday 4th August and winners announced in stories here

New letter to my newsletter community hit inboxes this morning…sharing one of my favourite herbs plus some exciting new workshops coming up. You can read it here 👇🏻

It's a water loving herb that grows really easily here in the Northern Rivers and can be spotted under the raised walkways heading down to some of our favourite beaches.

This is such fantastic news!!! Private healthcare rebates restored to naturopathy!

We’ve had a recent Coeliac diagnosis in our family, which has meant lots of adjustments.

Alongside the obvious strict avoidance of gluten, we’ve been doing lots of gut healing work and replenishing nutrients that haven’t been absorbed due to damage to the gut.

I feel very grateful to have years of experience working with clients on repairing the gut and supporting the microbiome using targeted nutritional supplementation, specific probiotic strains, gentle herbal medicine and sustainable dietary shifts (including lots of yummy recipes like this delicious gut healing chicken soup).

If you are Coeliac, experience food intolerances or have other gut related health issues, I’d love to support you.

Super stoked to have nailed these sourdough GF hot cross buns to keep my little Coeliac happy this Easter 💚

Sooooo I took a break in December and now it’s April, whaaaat!

Lots been happening in real life, not so much here.

I’m feeling like there’ll be less of me here this year and more updates and connection happening over in my newsletter community. That might change as the year progresses, but for now I’ll just be popping in here sporadically.

Coming up this year I have lots of fun workshops sharing knowledge and tips for home herbal first aid including herbal syrups, herbal balms and herbal tinctures.

I’ll be making a batch (or 2 or 3) of my Traditional Elderberry Syrup which has been a huge hit for supporting immunity through the winter months.

There’ll be a new episode of my Self Care with Herbs segment of the Elder Tree Podcast released each month- tune in via your favourite podcast platform!

And I’ll continue to do my hearts work of supporting clients with gentle herbal medicine, practical dietary and lifestyle advice and yummy recipes from my sunny beachside apothecary and online.

Thanks for being here and if any of the above interest you, be sure to join my newsletter community to stay up to date.

💚 Jess
