Stanmore/Leura naturopathic opening times and mental health support

As of next week, I’m now open Thursday’s for naturopathic consultations from this gorgeous little historically listed cottage on Grose street Leura, a short stroll from Leura Mall. The owner of Physiopoint Physiotherapy kindly offered to put my sign under his on the front lawn even though I’m only in Leura on a Thursday. It’s a real gift to be treated with such kindness. So, my schedule is now Tuesdays & Fridays in Stanmore very early until late, Wednesdays telehealth and Thursdays in the Blue Mountains. My wellbeing clinic in Stanmore village is now home to eight experienced mental health practitioners including clinical psychologists, psychotherapy, social work, counselling, offering support with anxiety, depression, grief & bereavement, relationship counselling, living with pain, addictions, trauma and more. Here is the sign at Leura & the mental health practitioner’s I work alongside in Stanmore, should people seek support.

RECIPE OF THE WEEK:

KING PRAWN, GARLIC, LEMON & CHILLI GLUTEN FREE SPAGHETTI

I love a yummy pasta dish! As someone intolerant to gluten and dairy, eating any kind of pasta dish can be particularly difficult.

This recipe is a favourite in my home as it really is a party pleaser for a few reasons. Firstly, it’s so easy! Secondly, only a few ingredients are needed with minimal chopping.

Thirdly, it’s delicious.

For so many people experiencing digestive issues or people with sinus, autoimmune, acne & more, eliminating dairy and gluten can be a game-changer. If this is you, this recipe is for you.

And people who don’t have these sensitivities will love it too.

I hope you enjoy this recipe, which has been inspired by authentic Sicilian chefs.

Buon appetito

Going gluten free was initially quite traumatic in the early days for me when quality gluten free products were rarely available.  All I saw was the endless list of things I had to give up.  Now, it is so easy to substitute a favourite ingredient for a gluten free version and enjoy the meals that ...

RECIPE OF THE WEEK: Asian Tofu & Chicken Mince Stir Fry with Sweet Potato Glass Noodles

A reoccurring theme in clinic revolves around the challenges for clients in mastering consistent healthy, tasty, and quick dinner options when fatigue has set in and chilling out is the preferred option.

Fact: Dinner on a weekday must be easy. Happiness and reducing cortisol levels for “calm, energy” relies on this. Throw in the fact that you want dinner to be healthy and it can be a challenging meal to navigate.

Here is a recipe that you may want to include on your weekly menu and take my advice when I say, make double the amount so you always have a readymade meal for the end of a busy day.

For many, happiness and reduced anxiety involves easy dinner options without compromising taste and health.

This is a gold star performer in my opinion, and I hope you agree.

Asian food has always been a favourite of mine. If done in a healthy manner, it is a wonderful way of adding loads of healthy vegetables and protein with sauces that please most taste buds.
