Second rant for the day šŸ„³šŸ‘‰šŸ½Research published in mainstream media reporting Vitamin D would be beneficial to protect against COVID-19 is finally giving light to the power of NUTRITIONAL MEDICINE.Ā Ā FINALLY.
šŸ‘‰šŸ½This has been an incredibly frustrating time for Natural Health Practitioners who have been dismayed but 100% not surprised at the government & so called world health officials lack of a holistic approach to tackling this virus and the health of our communities.Ā Ā 
šŸ‘‰šŸ½VITAMIN D is a well known nutrient for immune system support and is a tool we use ALL the time for our clients with things like auto-immune disorders for powerful results.
However during this time us Practitioners have also been governed NOT TO say that X,Y,Z nutrient/vitamin will help protect against COVID!
And conversely, the fear of GOD has been put in everyone that we can’t do ANYTHING to help ourselves or loved ones except to stay home and wait until a vaccine is found.
šŸ‘‰šŸ½How about if we had of dosed up our aged care residents with Vitamin D as soon as the outbreaks occurred. Vitamin D does not have side effects, this could have been a preventative measure taken from the start and SAVED LIVES!!!!
šŸ™ŒšŸ¾The ideal outcome would that holistic health care becomes the normal because our medical system is SO blinkered. Anyone else agree!?

Hi, wow its been a big couple of weeks. And I have had to take my own advice as i realised i was feeling the brink of overwhelm/burn out.Ā Ā Seems a bit counter-intuitive to feel burnt out when we are in Stage 4 and bound to our homes, but it shows you can’t underestimate the power of emotions & not having your people around you on your health.

Here’s how i have/am turning my week around;

⁃Said no/come up with an alternative option to something that was causing me stress
⁃With the warmer weather, brought back in my morning juice. Currently, watermelon, beetroot, collagen, greens & water
⁃Had a weekend of going to bed at 9pm
⁃Put down some things i have been working on, accepted i needed brain rest time AND the big one, have chosen to not beat myself up over it and been on to rest. Who can relate to this!?
⁃Left my computer charger where i was working on Friday, realised when i got home.  DID NOT turn around and go and pick it up and instead took it as a sign from the universe to be off screens for the weekend
- Realised holy moly im spinning on masculine energy and i need some feminine energy in the mix! Single Mumming, you are responsible for everything in the house and finances etc. You can get yourself into so much ā€œdoingā€ and not enough ā€œbeingā€. Total recipe for burnout 🤠
⁃Mixed myself up a flower essence remedy that uses Pink Fountain Triggerplant which is all about ā€œThe Return of the Vital Forceā€ 🌸 Such am effective way to help with the emotional stuff.

If you have any questions about flower essence remedies for burn out, comment below or send me a DM > will post remedies :)

There’s something about making it through the Victorian winter! Especially this one! 😱Sept 1 ... feels like a fresh start and that bit closer to seeing all our loved ones! 🌼

So you know how 2020 is a bit of šŸ’†šŸ¾ā€ā™€ļø?

Has it put a bit of fire in your belly to tap into that activism part in you? Certainly for me, I feel frustrated at how the world is right now but then I think ā€œwhat can I do about it?ā€ I will share posts and thoughts, make donations, sign petitions, go to fundraisers etc etc. But it feels bit adhoc. Also, i don’t really know what I am supporting… after all it’s not like all organisations are actually ethical… sadly. And what’s if my money/actions actually makes a situation worse or fuels an industry (ie: I spent time at an orphanage in Nepal in 2012, ā€œplaying with the kidsā€ā€¦. little did i know that MOST orphanages are a thriving industry built on ā€˜taking’ kids from their villages to pose as orphans so us white people get to feel good while we are on holidays).

So this is where i introduce you to one of my oldest friends
Leigh not only co-founded & has worked for the UN in child protection but now runs her own consulting/coaching company designed to build social & corporate responsibility into the structure of your business. I am currently working with Leigh around this personally, i will keep you posted on this one!

So the good news is this!

She is running a short course early Sept for any business owners out there (big or small) who want to ā€˜give back’. If you want to build philanthropy into your business but don’t know exactly how or you want to be ensured that your cause is ethical and not actually causing harm, then I highly recommend joining this course.
Some points:
- you don’t have to choose to either make money or be a charitable organisation…you CAN make money and DO GOOD at the same time
- some organisations/charities are not actually ethical… sadly. So you really need to get expert advice on organisations before supporting them through your business
- carefully selecting a cause that aligns with your business and personal values is extremely rewarding

>>> This course is hands-on and practical . You will be well on your way to be able to say that your business is having a positive impact on people an the planet.

Everything is connected. Our 2020 lives are on high frequency and our bodies are keeping score (and 99% of the time, our bodies win)ā˜„ļø

ā€œSelf careā€ is an annoying word. Help me, is there another word out there!?

If you don’t consider your mental/emotional/environmental health when it comes to how your physical body is, you have your blinkers on.

ā€œSelf careā€ is about reducing exposures to toxins and giving ourselves a few minutes (now that is a bare minimum!) every day to not be in ā€˜stress response’.

🤯WOMEN are more likely to suffer thyroid issues and guess what are the main drivers….. CORTISOL OVERPRODUCTION (stress hormones) & ENVIRONMENTAL TOXINS. Friends, we are responsible for self care it is not some kind of fluffy luxury.

🌷I think we know the obvious self care stuff but other things you may not have thought of that are an investment to your health are:
- getting a life coach
- taking a course you are interested in
- therapy….however that may look for you
- listening to podcasts (whether its for fun or for learning)
- freeing yourself from toxic relationships
- learning how to improve your relationship with money
- reminiscing with a friend/s (via zoom if your’e in Vic!)
- investing in a water filter so you have clean water at home
- improving the air quality in your home
- dealing with mould/toxin issues you may be exposed to
- dealing with food intolerances
- getting your skin moles checked
- getting a papsmear & breast health check
- switching over your perfumes to chemical free options
- switching over your household products to natural ones to minimise exposures to chemicals

I invite you to consider what small changes you can do and Implement into your life daily to bring down that high frequency and toxin exposure āš”ļøāš”ļøāš”ļø

For me > I’ve booked in for skin check, Im currently engaged in coaching and therapy šŸ’« when I ā€œforgetā€ to invest in the big picture, everything starts getting rusty.

Every now and then the 25% introvert part of my personality takes me away from socials but just so you know, I’m still here 🌿And i have this little bit of feel good news to share with you in what is a weird time right now in Victoria 🪐
Photo 1 > This little ewok came into our lives 2 weeks ago. And she is divine! So fluffy & cuddly. Ewok Maggie is 6 years old and is the coolest little dog/sloth.
Photo 2 > she keeps Stevie company while I get coffee which is a bonus.
Photo 3 > loves been dragged along by a toddler.
Photo > She’s into beach life, she is a bit like a blanket on legs
P.S..do they kind of look the same? haha

Hi, I wanted to talk about being a Nutritionist for a minute. Shed some light on this fascinating topic as I am in my boss lady pose.

Firstly, it’s such an innovative space to be in, I personally love that. It’s also thrilling when you help someone achieve their goals or put the pieces of the puzzle together when it comes to their health.

But it’s also a really intense career! Keeping on top of research, the latest supplements, drugs and potential interactions etc. As well as blood chemistry and all the other lab tests that are being discovered & used to identify toxins, pathogens etc, their pro’s and cons and how to interpret such results. Really, it’s a rabbit warren on any topic you start to investigate. You have to be a nerd at heart šŸ’–

Also, working with people is probably what brought us all to this career path. But wow, everyones cellular makeup, genetic DNA, their microbiome profile as well as their history of stress and trauma which ALL influences an individuals health and capacity to heal…..it is FULL ON!

We (I think i can speak for a majority of us) like the ā€˜service’ element, in fact, i would think most of us are empaths so we really invest in our clients and are genuinely disappointed when we don’t get the outcome we want leading us to thinking, researching, pondering our clients outside of the consult, figuring out the next way forward. I bet your lawyers don’t do that šŸ˜‚

Lastly, so much of the time we are dealing with chronic health issues which are the manifestation of a SICK health care model 🤬

šŸ‘‰šŸ½So shout out to all the other praccies out there putting their heart into their work and helping people on their health journey šŸ™ŒšŸ¾

Pancakes with my little lady this morning. So I used a gluten free pre mix by Organ which contains a variety of gluten free flour and you just need to add egg and milk. Pretty simple! I am not saying this is the most healthy option (!!) but it works for me sometimes and have you ever tried to make GF pancakes with your own flour combo? Nightmare šŸ˜… Mine are never that great and for the mess...I’m going to want a guarantee they’re going to be šŸ’Æ šŸ˜„
