Given the right conditions, the body can heal itself."It's the physicians duty to activate & reactivate the body's healing mechanism" Dr. Max Gerson M.D. Naturopathy is a form of complimentary medicine using tools such as Diet/Nutrition, Herbal Medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurvedic Medicine, Homeopathy, Essential oils and simple lifestyle changes. The key point of Naturopathy and Herbal Medicine is to get to the root cause of illness and bring the body back into balance, not just treating the symptoms. Using detailed case taking skills, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diagnostics & Ayurvedic Constitutions, we can get a deeper understanding of what exactly is going on in the body. Working together, using plant based medicines, nutrition, lifestyle changes and mindfulness we can bring the body back to a place of balance. A place of health. "It is more important to know what type of person has a disease than to know what type of disease a person has" - Hippocrates.

Christmas Week can be chaotic, stressful and down right over-stimulating. Create a small pocket of space for yourself and remember you’re human and you don’t have to do everything.

And a gentle side note on loneliness 💜
For many, this time of year can amplify grief, separation, or the absence of what once was.
If that’s you, your system is responding to loss and longing.
Reach out if you can. Send the message. Make the call.
And if connection feels far away, take yourself on an adventure, a road trip, a walk by the sea, a solo coffee, a night away.
Belonging can start with how you show up for yourself.

Be gentle. Go slow where you can.
Your nervous system will thank you.

✨ 2026 Retreat Lineup | Feb-May✨

A series of immersive retreats created for women who are ready to slow down, soften, and remember who they are.

Each full-day retreat is a space where we come together to:
• learn how to navigate big emotions with safety and compassion
• truly rest without guilt or fixing
• be seen and heard, free from judgement
• remember how to play, laugh, and feel light again
• learn the art of co-regulation
• reconnect with our boundaries (our yeses and our nos)
• gently explore childhood and attachment wounds
• learn how to actually feel our feelings, not just talk about them

You’ll be held by me, Órla, Herbalist, Naturopath, Nutritionist, Holistic Hormone Specialist & Trauma-Informed Somatic Experiencing Facilitator in a space rooted in nervous system support, kindness, and deep care.

Following each retreat, we move into a 6-week online group integration, allowing everything learned on the day to truly land and weave into your everyday life through:
• self-regulation & co-regulation practices
• voicing and honouring boundaries in a healthy, embodied way
• relational communication
• self-care, compassion, and forgiveness

We continue to hold space for one another in the bond created on day one walking together through a grounded, supported journey of self-discovery.

Just a gentle reminder coming into the Christmas Season. If you are always putting on a smile to “get through this one thing”, you’re in a chronic state of masking. There is only so long you can keep@doing this before something cracks. Take time for yourself to regulate and rest.

Here’s to the last trip around the sun. I was asked recently which I’m more afraid of 39 or 40 and honestly? Neither. If anything, I cannot wait for 40. It feels like the moment I finally get to step out of the decade where everyone feels entitled to ask, “When are you having kids? Are you freezing your eggs? When are you settling down?”

39 feels like that last-ditch attempt from society to squeeze me into expectations I’m just done with. I’m over it. I’m not afraid of aging. I’m afraid of wasting my life trying to meet standards that don’t belong to me. So bring on 40. I’m ready for the freedom and the joy of living on my own terms.

So for anyone else in their 30s feeling this pressure, start giving zero f*€ks…it’s much more fun 💜🥰💜 #39

December is here. The month when I always become way more philosophical than I really need to be 😂
So here’s my unsolicited advice…
Shed the old.
Choose with care and compassion.
Hibernation season is here so nourish what matters. You 💜
