Now that my one and only is at school, I can now devote my time to not only giving general advice on the floor at go vita but 1:1 personalised consultations out the back.
Whilst generalised advice is awesome, especially for acute issues, 1:1 gives you, the client, a individualised advice suited for you and you alone.

Reasons for seeing me range from generally healthy people who are tired and stressed to those with diagnosed conditions that are seeking complementary treatments that will optimise their health outcomes.

If you are ready to set goals/improve health outcomes, now is a great time to book in.

This can be done via phoning go vita direct at lakehaven or popping in store to making an appointment.

Appointments days at this stage will be Mondays....

Looking for a simple lunch idea that doesn't require bread?
Rice paper rolls with your favourite filling is not only lo calorie, but gf. Great for those where bread does not agree with them.
Stuff them with your favourite nutritious filling such as a good protein and veg....
I like adding BBQ chicken or left over chicken mince and add greens and raw rainbow cabbage for crunch....

Wanted to share some info on this little gem....jungle balm is a used to help with joint and muscle pain. Used topically, it has similar effects to deep heat and takes the edge of general pain. I decided to use it myself on my back today who is having its issues and hope it gets me through till chiropractors open next wk....it is also amazing on mozzie bites

What is your happy place?
For some, it is the beach, walking in nature, or sitting reading a good book. For others, it is retail therapy or a trip to the day spa.
For me, my happy place is a gym. From an early age, I would go here to decompress, rejuvenate and recharge.
I notice it too if I haven't been for a week (due to family commitments or dealing with sickness). I become moody, down and snappy 😆. The moment I escape there, and do a workout, however small, I feel 100% better. Doing something you love is essential to help with your mental health.
Where is your happy place or something you love doing that helps boost your own mental health? I'd love to know 👇

Chia seeds would have to be my most favourite addition to a clients diet. Packed with nutrients, these little seeds contain magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus as well as an excellent protein and fibre source.
Adding them to your daily diet may help to
# support digestive health
# improve brain function with omega 3s
# anti inflammatory action
risk of some cancers
skin healthy
# stablise blood sugar
# good for heart health

Add them to smoothies, salads, yoghurt or make your own chia puddings....
