โœจ โ€œIโ€™m fine.โ€ But are you, really? โœจ

How often do you say it without even thinking?

Youโ€™re exhausted.
Your gutโ€™s a mess.
Your moodโ€™s all over the place.
Sleep isnโ€™t great, your hormones feel off, and stress? Through the roof.
But when someone asks how you are?

โ€œIโ€™m fine.โ€

Exceptโ€ฆ youโ€™re not.

This isnโ€™t about blaming or shaming.
Itโ€™s about noticing how easy it is to downplay what your body is trying to tell you.
To get so used to feeling not great that it becomes your new normal.
To keep moving through the day while your body whispers louder and louder for support.

The problem isโ€ฆ the longer we ignore those whispers,
the louder they become.
And eventually, theyโ€™re not whispers anymore.
Theyโ€™re symptoms that stop you in your tracks.

So letโ€™s try something different.

What if โ€œIโ€™m fineโ€ became:
โ€ข โ€œIโ€™m tired, and I think I need to rest.โ€
โ€ข โ€œIโ€™m not sleeping well and itโ€™s catching up with me.โ€
โ€ข โ€œActually, I donโ€™t feel like myself lately.โ€

๐Ÿ’œ That small shift? It matters.
Because you donโ€™t have to wait until itโ€™s bad enough.
Youโ€™re allowed to speak up now.

๐Ÿชป โ€œYour bodyโ€™s ability to heal is greater than anyone has permitted you to believe.โ€ ๐ŸชปYou may have been told to just man...

๐Ÿชป โ€œYour bodyโ€™s ability to heal is greater than anyone has permitted you to believe.โ€ ๐Ÿชป

You may have been told to just manage it.
To accept it.
To live with it.

But your body is always healing - even when you feel like itโ€™s failing you.
And when we give it the right tools, support, and spaceโ€ฆ
that healing becomes more than just possible.
It becomes powerful.

๐ŸŒฟ Donโ€™t let old stories define your potential. Healing is still available to you.

โœจ Just because youโ€™re not in crisisโ€ฆ
Doesnโ€™t mean you donโ€™t deserve support. โœจ

I see this all the time in clinic - women brushing off their symptoms because โ€œitโ€™s not that badโ€ or โ€œother people have it worse.โ€

But hereโ€™s the thing:
You donโ€™t need to be bed-bound or burnt out to get help.
You donโ€™t need a diagnosis to know youโ€™re not feeling like yourself.
And you definitely donโ€™t need permission to prioritise your health.

Maybe youโ€™re:
โ€ข constantly tired but still pushing through
โ€ข having gut issues that come and go
โ€ข noticing your moods are more unpredictable
โ€ข sleeping, but not well
โ€ข feeling a bitโ€ฆ off

That in-between space - not sick, but not well - is actually where natural medicine shines.

We work with those niggly signs your bodyโ€™s giving you.
We listen before it becomes loud.
And we focus on creating real change, not just masking symptoms.

You donโ€™t have to wait until things get worse.
Sometimes the best time to start healingโ€ฆ is before you think you need to.

You donโ€™t need to earn your rest.

Getting outside isnโ€™t just nice, itโ€™s medicine.
Hereโ€™s what nature does for your body:

๐ŸŒณ Lowers cortisol (your stress hormone)
๐ŸŒž Boosts serotonin (your feel-good brain chemical)
๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™€๏ธ Activates your parasympathetic nervous system (rest + digest mode)
โ˜€๏ธ Triggers vitamin D production for immune health
๐ŸŒฟ Exposes you to phytoncides (compounds from plants) that increase white blood cell activity

You donโ€™t need a hiking holiday.
๐ŸŒผ Sit under a tree
๐Ÿšถโ€โ™€๏ธ Take a short walk
๐ŸŒฑ Put your feet in the grass

Let nature recalibrate your nervous system. Itโ€™s free. Itโ€™s accessible. And your body was made for it.

07/10/2025

If 3pm hits and you're suddenly craving something sweet, you're not alone โ€“ and itโ€™s not about willpower.
Your body is trying to tell you something.
Hereโ€™s what it might be saying:

1๏ธโƒฃ Blood sugar crash โ€“ If your meals are high in carbs but low in protein or fats, your blood sugar rises quicklyโ€ฆ then drops. Cue the craving.

2๏ธโƒฃ Poor sleep โ€“ When youโ€™re tired, your body wants quick energy. Sugar gives a short-term hit but leaves you crashing later.

3๏ธโƒฃ Stress โ€“ Cortisol can mess with glucose regulation and drive sugar cravings, even if youโ€™re not hungry.

So what helps?
โœจ Add protein to each meal
โœจ Include healthy fats and fibre
โœจ Pause before reaching for a quick fix

You donโ€™t need to cut sugar completely โ€“ but understanding why youโ€™re craving it gives you power to respond differently.

04/10/2025

Weโ€™ve all heard the phrase โ€œfood is fuelโ€ โ€“ and while thatโ€™s true, itโ€™s only part of the story.

Food doesnโ€™t just give us energy.
It gives our body instructions.
Every bite you eat sends messages to your cells.
Messages about whether to turn inflammation up or down.
Whether to produce hormones or hold back.
Whether to build or break down.
The quality of that information matters.

๐Ÿฅฆ Whole foods rich in nutrients = clear instructions for healing
๐Ÿฉ Ultra-processed foods = static on the line

This is why what we eat affects mood, immunity, hormones, energy... pretty much everything.

Itโ€™s not about being perfect. Itโ€™s about tuning in to what your body actually needs โ€“ and giving it nourishment that helps it respond in the right way.

Small changes make a difference. Always.

Emily Cahill- Naturopath

I have always had a strong interest in health and understanding the human body as well as a huge desire to help people so nursing seemed like the perfect profession for me. I finished my Nursing Degree in 2005 and have since worked in an acute care hospital. Working in this setting highlighted the gaps in the traditional medical model and prompted me to look elsewhere for a more holistic, natural approach to health care- which I found in Naturopathy.

Along my journey I also studied to become a Reiki Master, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) practitioner and meditation teacher and have become very interested in the role that the mind plays in health and disease. I have experienced first-hand how changing your thoughts and emotions can profoundly improve your physical and mental health and I love helping people create their best life.

Having spent many years as an oncology nurse I am passionate about providing supportive care to cancer patients and support patients wanting to use natural supplements on how to avoid negative interactions and how to reduce side effects of conventional treatment.

I am dedicated to improving health outcomes for people with
