As a functional medicine practitioner and frequent traveller, I treat the first day home as a physiological reset, not a “catch-up” day.
�Morning light and walk to anchor circadian rhythm.

Abyanga warm oil massage, is my non negotiable. For skin health, protection from viruses and grounds the body from mental distractions.

Really enjoying the benefits of increases energy and focus .life mushroom gummies.
�Protein-first breakfast to stabilise energy and blood sugar.

I’ve been really into my chai lately to break the coffee habit (particularly after Sri Lanka’s influence) !
�Schedule the day immediately: client calls, team touchpoints, priorities�Monthly reflection to clear mental noise and refocus direction
�Grounded, simple dinner to support digestion
�Sauna to downshift the nervous system�Yoga if capacity allows (this time I skipped it… late work and day one of my cycle)
�Save this for your next travel day home, or share it with someone who always feels off after flying.

Did you know our homes can be more toxic than the outdoors? Household dust contains particles like skin cells, pollen, fibers, animal dander, and insect waste.
But we have the power to create a healing space, and cleansing your home at the beginning of the year for winter is a great practice.

Food is medicine
This is mine, in Sri Lanka. 🌿
The abundance of this land - talk about the longevity diet…. The best food I have ever eaten….evolved with the climate, the body, and seasonal rhythms.

Warm. Spiced. Mineral-rich. Grounding.

Tropical fruits, eaten in season and in heat
– Papaya: rich in papain, supports digestion and gut motility
– Mango: vitamin A, polyphenols for skin, immunity, and cellular repair
– Banana (local varieties): potassium for nerves and muscles
– Pineapple: bromelain to reduce inflammation and aid protein digestion
– Wood apple: traditionally used for gut health, constipation, and microbial balance
– Jackfruit: fibre-rich, blood sugar balancing
– Mangosteen: xanthones with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects
– Soursop: vitamin C, traditionally used for immune resilience…a potent “superfood”.

These fruits hydrate, mineralise, and cool the body in tropical climates.

Rice flours, sambol, and coconut
– Red rice, white rice, string hoppers, hoppers: easy-to-digest carbohydrates that support cortisol balance
– Fermented or freshly ground rice flours can act as prebiotic substrates, feeding beneficial gut bacteria
– Pol sambol (coconut, chilli, lime): antimicrobial fats, polyphenols, and digestive fire from spice
– Fresh coconut: supports gut lining, minerals, and steady energy

Land of teas!!! I’ve really gotten into black teas here, soooo much flavour.
– Ceylon black tea: rich in polyphenols, supports circulation and metabolic health
– Herbal infusions (gotukola, coriander, ginger): liver support, digestion, nervous system calm

Dhal
– Red lentils: plant protein, iron, folate, and soluble fibre
– Gentle on digestion when well-spiced and slow-cooked
– Supports blood sugar stability and hormonal health

Curries
– Turmeric, cumin, coriander, fennel, curry leaves, cinnamon
Anti-inflammatory, carminative, liver-supportive, antimicrobial
Spices as daily medicine, not supplements

✨✨🙏🏼🙏🏼

Let your food meet you where you are, what’s nursing you lately in the climate you’re in?

There was a time when medicine, spirituality, and daily life weren’t separate.

In ancient Sri Lanka, Buddhist monks were often physicians, herbalists, and philosophers alongside their spiritual roles.

Monastic medicine
Buddhist monasteries functioned as centres of learning. Monks studied Ayurveda, herbal pharmacology, surgery, psychology, and ethics. Caring for the sick was considered a meritorious act, rooted in Buddhist compassion.

• Hospitals linked to monasteries
Sri Lanka had some of the earliest known hospitals in the world (as early as 4th century BCE), many attached to monasteries. Kings such as King Buddhadasa were themselves trained physicians.

• Stone depressions near stupas
Those shallow hollows carved into stone slabs you see around ancient sites are widely understood to have been used for grinding herbs, minerals, and medicinal pastes.

This was one of my favourite experiences , the energy was so so special! ✨✨✨ we so so lucky to be able to walk these lands

January is an invitation to listen more closely.

This month, I’m hosting three intimate gatherings for women who want to understand their energy, their body, and the season they’re in.…

✨ Map Your Energy Blueprint utilising Human Design.
A practical, personalised way to understand how your nervous system, and alignment energy actually work.
With

🔥 2026 Fire Horse Year
A grounded look at the year ahead. What this cycle asks of us, where to move, where to pause, and how to work with change without burning out or holding back.

🌿 Menopause: Grounded in Change (with Menomates)
An honest, supportive space for women in peri- and menopause. Education, shared experience, and tools that respect the complexity of this transition, not silence or stigma.

All events are low-key, thoughtful, and designed to meet you exactly where you are.
If January is calling you to reset, reflect, or reconnect with your body, you’re warmly welcome.

DM me for details 🤍

So before the momentum of the new year fully arrives, this is my invitation for you:

Slow down enough to notice what your body relaxes into.

Pay attention to where you feel most like yourself.

Listen to your own inner guidance rather than being swept up in someone else’s list of ‘ins’ and ‘outs’ for 2026….

Between Christmas and New Year…where normal time doesn’t exist….fewer schedules….less demands….little commitments, can make most of us feel out of sorts - and waste this in between time.
But it’s the in between….
that
is the sacred pause. The void.

Heart rate variability is measured by the time between beats.
Not the beat itself, but the space around it.

That space is where the nervous system adapts, restores, and recalibrates.
Life works the same way.

It’s not the moments of effort that restore us,
but the pauses that allow integration to happen.

I’m on a different timeline and able to recalibrate to natures elements - but this is a beautiful invitation to reflect before we dial back onto TIME

Ask yourself:
How am I living?
What am I embracing?
Where am I present, and where do I pull away?

Again and again, I come back to the same place: trust.
Trust in our ability to meet life as it unfolds.
Trust the body’s intelligence.
Trust that slowing down allows something essential to be felt.

This week is
about listening.
Letting the year settle.
Watching what wants to emerge before we decide what comes next….

Andddddd see how many sunsets or sunrises you can catch!!

Big love
Natalie ✨❤️🧚🏻
