If there is one thing that hurts alot when you are going through big and overwhelming things its when someone tells you that you should "just get over it" !

There is no "just getting over" anything - ever !

The only way to heal is to allow yourself to "go THROUGH it" and support yourself and allow yourself to be supported by others in the process.

You CAN heal. You CAN go through hard things. You CAN not have those things affect you forever. You CAN be made better for it without suffering.

How ?

There is a process and it actually works !

It only takes you :

1) being WILLING ie. Raising your hand up out of the water and waving it like crazy for attention !

and

2) being COMMITTED ie. Showing up for yourself, staying accountable, doing what you say you are going to do.

The REWARD is not just better health but enormous personal growth and improvements across all your relationships.

Here walking the path just like everyone else. A pleasure and a privilege being able to help others in the process ❤

Deeply grateful to Dana and Krisanna for your incredible cinematography and authentic heartfelt story telling portrayed in , thank you to for bringing this incredible film premiere to the local cinema in my home town. Thank you for sharing your personal journeys of healing from chronic pain through mind-body medicine.

There is a message here for our collective ears, hearts and minds and our world 🌎 💗✨️

True healing is not external it lies within each of us... inside every tissue, every sinew, every molecule is the potential for incredible and potent healing that just needs us to step out of the way so we can switch it on.

I say it every day, I can't say it enough... this is the message I speak to all that will listen and to see it up on the big screen in such a powerful way with such inspiring messages and beautiful imagery and a voice loud and clear for all to see was a "holy f**k YES!!" moment for me !!!
Your body is your teacher. Listen to it ! Connect with it ! Love it ! Connecting to SELF is the answer to ALL healing, no matter what your condition or diagnosis - with the right guidance, your body's inner wisdom already knows the answers and is just waiting for you to access it.

If you have chronic pain or lifelong illness you need to check out this film. Go get !

"Dare to declare who you are. It is not far from the shores of silence to the boundaries of speech. The path is not long, but the way is deep. You must not only walk there, you must be prepared to leap"
Hildegard von Bingen (1098 - 1179AD)

Let me introduce you to my absolute feminine hero - Hildegard of Bingen, Germany - or Olde St Hilde as I affectionately refer to her !

In her time on Earth, she headed up her own order of nuns while on the side, also a travelling theologian and scholar, a musician and composer, a mystic and visionary, a writer of dozens of books of enormous volume and became a renown founder of medicine and natural science.

She documented both practical application and catalogued botanical medicine. She pioneered the idea of "holistic medicine" that was physical, emotional and spiritual and the notion of "vitality". Her documented research explored the causes of disease as well as human sexuality, psychology, and physiology. She elaborated on the medical and scientific relationship between the human microcosm and the macrocosm of the universe, focusing on interrelated patterns of the four elements, environment, climate and internal balance impacting health.

She worked within a patriarchal system and was constantly condemned as a heretic, when really she was a woman simply speaking her truth and raising her voice. I think its incredible that all these centuries later her strength and magnitude still shines through the legacy she has left behind to holistic healers everywhere.

She may not fit the picture of our modern day IWD heroine, but she has left her mark and our world has been forever changed because of it.

In Hilde's time, life as a woman was pretty impossible to bear, yet she defied the odds and achieved so much. A big part of this was her access to libraries and ability to study in the monasteries she lived and worked in.

It goes to show that knowledge is indeed our true power. Allowing women be empowered through education really can change the world !

🍎 You can crave apple pie all you like, but you can't plant a seed in the ground today and expect to pick apples tomorrow !

Same goes for your healing !

If you desire to :

🌱 clear your acne or skin itching,
🌱 prepare for pregnancy,
🌱 recover after surgery or chemo,
🌱 reduce your cholesterol and lose weight,
🌱 regulate your hormone cycle,
🌱 resolve your migraines or chronic pain

You have to come to an acceptance that true healing (the kind that does not come with nasty side effects or ongoing life disrupting flares) takes time.... AND it's so worth it ! 👌

Sure there are "quick fixes" - afterall even apple pie can be ordered through a drive thru window !

The choice is yours. It's up to you to know and appreciate the difference.

4 things that can get in the way or limit your ability to access self love :

💔 chronic high stress and burn out,
💔 circumstances out of your control that has smashed your self esteem and self worth (traumas),
💔 being around a hypercritical partner or being raised by hyper critical parents or family members,
💔 negative experiences where your trust in yourself or those that were supposed to care for you was destroyed or where you were taken advantage of.

If you can relate to any of the above, when someone mentions "self care" or "self love" you probably want to punch them 👊

But hear me out....

In order to :

💝 "self care" (aka care for your own wellbeing),

you have to :

💝practice "self love" (aka respect your self and your body as the incredibly masterful creation that it is!)

When you love yourself a little more, by default you start prioritising self care a little more too. Naturally your body starts working a little bit better and stops throwing out all kinds of nasty symptoms in protest to you not taking appropriate care of it.

'Nuff said, right?!

Yes, health can be this simple.

Want less symptoms with less fuss ? I can help !

✋️ STOP waiting for the conditions to become perfect for healing to happen !

I will do that thing I need to do to take care of myself :
- when I have more time,
- when I have more money,
- when I'm over this crazy job/ relationship / situation

🌱 healing begins the minute you let it in, the minute you surrender to just starting wherever you are at, the second you let go of expectations of how it's meant to look and feel like.

Healing happens the moment you love youself enough to realise you don't have to do it all by yourself....

Lean into the support that it's all around you.

In my clinical practice I find it common to have someone arrive to me obsessing about their physically wellbeing, diet and supplements.

"I want to lose weight, which diet is the right one for me? I've done plant based/paleo/fasting/gluten free/ everything free. I'm exhausted and still cant shift the kilos"

"I'm worried about my hormones. Is it just menopause ? Is that why I'm feeling so crap?"

"Is broccoli bad for your thyroid ? I don't think I have thyroid issues but I think I should not eat broccoli, is that right ?"

"I've been taking XYZ supplement I bought online for 18 months. It's great ! Can't remember why I take it now, not sure if it really does anything but it looks good and the website said it was good. It's good right ? What do you think?"

Remember: no exercise, wholefoods diet or supplement will really make a stick of difference to your health if all the other pieces of your life are not in balance!

❌️ Supplements and diet will not over come the stress that a sh*tty job you hate, a bad relationship, financial problems or an inability to sleep soundly at night will give you ! Period.

✅️ Read that again if you need to !

As I tell my clients on a daily basis, "I can't change your life situation but I can certainly help you cope better with it, improve your health outcomes and manage daily stress better, help you develop stronger boundaries and see and take opportunities that will support you on furthering your life and health where otherwise you wouldn't!"

Want real and lasting health. Ask me how !

We don't have ALL of the answers ALL of the time...

The difference between failing and succeeding
with any goal is the ability to keep going no matter what and finding ways to overcome obstacles that threaten to stop you in your tracks.

Staying in a positive state of mind is critical.

How you do that is up to you !

Start by asking yourself :

- what is it you enjoy, what do you like to do ? Keep doing those things !

- who is it around you in your life right now that is a source of positive and inspiring attitude and energy ? Make time for them !

- what is your most overwhelming and constant thought ? Is it helping or hindering you ? Find a way to flip that thought to a positive one when you feel it dropping in to bug you !

Sometimes it's all too much - allow yourself permission to ASK FOR HELP when you need it.

Slowly but surely, healing will arrive by way of improved opportunities that benefit you, solutions orientated thinking and a greater sense of balanced wellbeing.

❌️ Don't waste time and money shopping for, buying and taking supplements that may or may not be actually helping you !

Instead...

✅️ Know what you need, why you need it and how much to take with more accuracy, creating a supplement plan that is perfect for you.

The last client that came to see me was taking 17 different supplements that had cost her hundreds of $$ with negligible therapeutic benefit.

How good would it feel if you could :

- take what you need and forget about the rest !
- free up bench space or get rid of that cluttered supplements shelf
- make more time in the morning for a healthy breakfast or exercise instead of downing 17 different supplements!

❌️ uncomfortable and painful sores in our around your mouth stopping you from enjoying mealtime ?

It could be vitamin deficiencies or food intolerances getting in the way.

Our digestive system runs from our top opening (mouth) to our bottom opening (a**s) and is over 5 meters in total length - or roughly 3 times your height !

It contains billions of bacteria and enzymes and varying levels of pH and acidity throughout.

It is made of very similar structure throughout the whole tract, mostly very permeable highly sophisticated functional tissue that kept is soft and moist with fluids and mucous.

If you have cracks and sores visually noticeable at one end, chances are you are likely to have inflammation going in somewhere in the deepest parts you don't see as well !

What is appearing on the outside of the body is impacting us within also, it's just nicely covered up and you may not be as aware of it.

Cracks and sores around the mouth may be temporary or are frequently occuring and take along time to heal.

Irritated and inflamed digestive tissue does not absorb nutrients very well either so can lead to a catch 22 situation where there is increasing nutrient deficiencies occuring.

Food Biocompatability Testing can help to identify which foods may be causing issues and help in resolving inflammation wherever it appears by removing irritants thereby supporting a healthy digestive system and restoring function.

Get over 500 foods tested simply and easily and know what the right diet is for you once and for all ! Ask me for more info.

Happy Valentine's Day lovers of love and life !

Inside of every one of us beats our human heart which, depending on its resilience, has the capacity to help us be, do, and have all that we desire !

Within the human heart lies "hope"... the hope that we will live another day, keep loving, keep laughing and ultimately feel the exquisiteness of this life through experiencing all that our human experience offers us.

Is our heart born with a finite "number" of beats ? Can we add to our beat "number" or take beats away ? Traditional medicine philosophies would say YES !

May you give thought to your heart this Valentine's Day, that stable and consistent piece of organic machinery that has not stopped since the day you were born. It is the very thing that allows you all the good stuff and take this as a little reminder to practice gratitude and self-love.

May all hearts be happy knowing that their owners are taking good care of the vessel they are housed in 💝😊
