Jewel Salad

✨Another recipe not recipe✨

This is the perfect dessert to bring to a potluck. Visually stunning with jewel toned berries and pomegranate arils, and elevated by fresh spearmint (the way cooler cousin of peppermint).
Spooning it over ice cream, the berries and arils always reminds me of rubies, sapphires and amethysts- hence the name!

Serve it alongside a tub of good ice cream for dessert (I’d recommend a vanilla), and enjoy leftovers spooned over Greek yoghurt the next day.

You’ll need:

-Around 6 punnets of mixed blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries
-A punnet of pomegranate arils
-½ bag dark chocolate chips (this is sweet enough without milk chocolate)
-Fresh spearmint from the garden
Simply toss everything together and chop the spearmint in with scissors — you want small pieces, not whole leaves, in every spoonful.

I am delighted to share that I have opened my own dedicated clinic space, nestled within a green, tranquil sanctuary, my home on Woodlands Road, Cranbourne South.
The care and dedication you have come to know remains unchanged; it is simply the backdrop that has grown more beautiful.

In addition to consultations, I also aim to deliver more live webinars and in-person events. Kicking off with a revisit to my libido webinar earlier this year due to popular demand (19th March) ♥️♥️

It would be my genuine pleasure to welcome you through the door of this new space — one built entirely around the people I am so privileged to care for.

Here to answer any questions, whilst I discuss plans with my business partner, Tofu (personality hire).

“Gluten is often seen as the easy enemy. I’m always hesitant to eliminate anything from a diet - but in autoimmune thyroid conditions with high antibodies, this is a conversation worth having.
The good news? There are some great gluten free options available now. Slide across for a few ➡️ and then get a comprehensive list in the link in my bio.

A fun experiment using food as medicine ♥️
These little hearts have a tart raspberry centre with a crunchy buckwheat and pumpkin seed base, decorated with pomegranate arils and rose petals.
Shatavari - a naturopath’s go-to for libido - is woven into these bites, with pomegranates are one of my favourite foods for their cold burst of flavour and their connection to Persephone’s entrapment in the underworld.

Will these little hearts single-handedly restore a lost libido? Not quite. Libido is beautifully complex - woven through our nervous system, our sense of desire, our physical comfort, and so much more. No single herb is the magic answer on its own.

In January, I gave a presentation exploring this complexity - the role of the nervous system in desire, how aphrodisiac herbs truly work, and a gentle dive into the physiological drivers of sexual discomfort, with a focus on the female urogenital microbiome.
I have the recording ready to share. If you’d like access, send me your email and you’ll be first to know when it goes live.

Happy Valentine’s Day ♥️🤍

🥦🥑🍎🍋A look inside a naturopaths midweek grocery shop

I’m sharing this to help show a few better branded options to grab- and also that the perfect shopping basket doesn’t exist.

Buying groceries is a balancing act between your budget and quality. In my household the grocery bills is one of the biggest expenses- because I approach our food as a form of medicine we eat three+ times a day.

Not everything is organic, not everything is strictly “clean” This is a realistic grocery basket that may help you identify better options next time you shop

🥬 Organic leafy greens- I prioritise organic leafy greens because I know I don’t wash them properly- and I consider the surface area of the produce that comes in contact with farming chemicals. Washing leafy greens thoroughly is a lot harder than leaving apples to soak in my sink.

🥚I buy organic, cage-free eggs for the improved living conditions of the chickens- and for the reduced antibiotics fed to them throughout their life and the subsequent affect that can have on us consuming them.

🫐 Berries I buy non-organic. Organic berries aren’t readily available where I am and if they were the cost would be prohibitive. The exception is the frozen berries I use in my smoothie, those I buy organic as I can source them and its within my budget.

🍫 My 2 favourite protein bars. Nutritionally the Chief Collagen bar comes out on top- taste wise the Health Lab Chocolate Protein Brownie wins. When buying protein bars I’m looking for at least 10g of protein and less than 5 g of sugar.

🥩 Organic steak is outside of our budget- We get grass-fed meat instead. Coles & Woolworths both have decent selections. Kangaroo meat for its high protein and the burgers are quick to cook and add to a salad for a balanced lunch.

🥤Cottage cheese to add to my morning smoothies for extra protein. Full fat options always. This goes for any dairy- always full fat! Fat isn’t your enemy.

🥛 Nutty Bruce almond mylk is the best plant based mylk and I recommend it to everyone needing to come off dairy. The ingredients list is decent and it works well for cups of tea/coffee (the deciding factor)

The blending of herbal liquids is always such a beautiful mix of considering the clinical research, recalling the traditional usage, the phytochemical constituents and the energetics of the plants.

A well made herbal blend is the perfect mix of science and art.

Take for example this hypothetical low mood/nervous system tonic
✨Hypericum (St. Johns Wort)
✨Saffron (yes the culinary ingredient)
✨Calendula (You may have this in your garden)
✨Avena (Oats)

Hypericum has some of the strongest scientific backing of all our our herbs. However it also has an extensive amount of pharmaceutical contraindications. From SSRIs to OCPs and more. The Cochrane Review has found that hypericum is superior to placebo for major depression, is similarly effective to standard antidepressants and have fewer side effects than standard antidepressants.

Saffron is growing more and more clinical research, but before the research was there it was anecdotally recognised for its mood supportive effects. The carotenoid pigments that give saffron it’s renown colour- are the same constituents hypothesised to elicit the now studied anti-depressive effect.

Whilst the actions of calendula aren’t strictly anti depressive in nature ( a wonderful lympathic and vulnary herb), I may put a very small dash of it in a herbal mix as it’s sometimes referred to as “liquid sunshine”.

Avena would be lovely herb to add- it can be used in either the seed or the green (or arial) component of the plant. Here I would opt for the seed as the seed component of plants is often deeply nurturing, and can hold immense nourishment. Essential during times of convalescents and rest.

A skilled practitioner would take your entire case into consideration, as well as your current health status, medications and how you’re presenting to prescribe you a truely bespoke herbal medicine. A good herbal blend is an infusion of science and art.
