3 Health Products I Canβt Live Without
1 π· Chelsea Jean Lymphatic Gloves
These have been such an important part of my self-care routine over the past few years β especially after my c-section with my second daughter, to help move the lymph past the deeply adhered scar.
Lymphatic health really deserves more airtime β itβs such an underrated system! These gloves help reduce inflammation, support the immune system, and can even assist with weight loss by moving fluid retention and helping the body work optimally.
The lymph only moves if we moveβ¦ or if we move it. Sometimes exercise isnβt enough, and thatβs where these gloves come in handy (pun intended π).
2 π· Shakti Mat & Pillow
These two have saved me more times than I can count β from headaches to body aches, or when I just need to reset my energy.
Shakti Mats are acupressure mats that work by stimulating energy channels within the body, bringing balance to the nervous system, muscles, and organs.
It can take some getting used to (itβs like lying on hundreds of tiny nails at first!), but once your body adapts and the relaxation response kicks in, youβll find yourself drifting into a meditative stateβ¦ or even falling asleep. (Guilty π

3 π· Essential Oils & Diffusers
Essential oils have been part of my life since becoming a massage therapist 12 years ago.
What started as a way to make my space smell beautiful turned into a deep appreciation for their therapeutic and medicinal benefits. Iβve soothed headaches, belly aches, and bug bites with oils β and I love that my home smells amazing without the toxins of synthetic fragrances.
My favourite brands are doTERRA and Lively Living, and I also use Australian Wholesale Oils (organic only). Lively Living diffusers have been part of our kidsβ lives since birth β they play white noise, have gentle light settings (red is our fave), let you record messages, and of course, diffuse essential oils beautifully.
β¨ Supporting your body through simple daily rituals really is one of the most loving things you can do for yourself.
