“Sit with it. Sit with it. Sit with it. Sit with it. Even though you want to run. Even when it’s heavy and difficult. Even though you’re not quite sure of the way through. Healing happens by feeling.”

(Dr Rebecca Ray)

Had a fabulous last weekend learning all things Applied Kinesiology as we came to the end of our course this year.

I first took the Applied Kinesiology course as a fourth-year student in Chiropractic College, so it's been wonderful to have the amazing Dr Michael Ho**er in Christchurch this year, allowing me the opportunity to do the full course again.

I've learnt so much and brought in so many new techniques into my practice this year, which was one of my big goals for the year. We are in a profession where it's so important to keep learning. Every year, more is understood about health and wellbeing, so it's an important responsibility to invest time in learning.

Looking forward to being able to offer you all some new techniques. This final weekend course was on systemic conditions and nutrition.

What can I do about my gut discomfort?
Ask me if you would like to take a look at any potential food sensitivities. I can also take a look at the general health of your gut and pick up any issues that might be contributing to your physical and or mental issues.

It is important to remember that your gut makes up 70% of your immune system, so while you may not have any gastrointestinal disturbances, it is still an important place to check if you have any other unwanted symptoms in your body.

It is also nice to know that if a food sensitivity, or multiple ones, show up in your body, it does not mean that you will be off these food groups for life. It is important to have a break, heal the gut and then reassess.

Jillian Turecki is a relationship coach, and her book "It Begins With You" is a beautiful book that helps us awaken our conscious selves to define the love we want.

The book discusses nine truths:

💜Truth 1: It begins with you.
💜Truth 2: The mind is a battlefield.
💜Truth 3: Lust is not the same thing as love.
💜Truth 4: You must show up as your higher self.
💜Truth 5: You must speak up and tell the truth.
💜Truth 6: You have to love yourself.
💜Truth 7: You cannot convince someone to love you.
💜Truth 8: No one is coming to save you.
💜Truth 9: We must make peace with our parents.

Bottom Line - relational transformation doesn't begin with the other person. It begins with you. And when you heal, change and show up differently, everything around you shifts.

A really great read. Enjoy.

Parasites are a far more common problem than you think, we are exposed to them constantly. They can be transmitted from foods, undercooked meat, fruit and vegetable, from walking barefoot on the soil, from our pets, from contaminated water or from travellers diarrhoea. Children are more susceptible as they play on the ground, in sand pits etc. However, because they are highly contagious they are easily transmitted through families.
If you think parasites might be a problem for you, let me know and I will happily test for you. I have witnessed some remarkable results in my practice from treating parasites.

Hormones is such a big topic.
We all have them and when our hormones are in balance life is great. When they are not, it can cause a variety of symptoms – pain, low libido, brain fog, anxiety and depression, poor temperature regulation, sleeplessness, decrease in energy, aches and pains in our body.
Centered Health can help. Get in touch today to make an appointment.

💡 Did you know your body reacts to stress the same way our ancestors did when facing a tiger or dinosaur? That “fight, flight, freeze” response can get triggered by a work meeting, traffic jam, or even worrying about missing an appointment!

Our brains can’t always tell the difference between real danger and perceived stress—so it’s important to recognize when your stress response is active and have ways to calm yourself.

✨ Tips to get back into balance:

Take a few deep breaths to activate your parasympathetic nervous system

Step away from stressors when possible (even for 5 minutes!)

Try our Neuro Relax spray to support GABA, the neurotransmitter that promotes calm and peace

Small daily practices can help you feel grounded, calm, and ready to face whatever comes your way. 🌿

🌿 Sometimes life doesn’t unfold the way we imagined. Doors close, plans shift, paths curve in ways we never expected.

But peace comes not from resisting, but from leaning in — trusting that this new direction is not a mistake, but a calling.

As Brené Brown reminds us, “Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing we’ll ever do.” 💚

Here’s to embracing change, finding grace in the unknown, and trusting that where you are is exactly where you need to be. ✨

💡 Children don’t come into the world knowing how to manage their emotions — they learn by watching us. When you model healthy ways of handling stress, frustration, or sadness, you’re showing your child that feelings are safe and manageable.

✨ Help them by naming emotions, guiding them through big feelings, and showing that emotions aren’t something to fear. You’re giving them lifelong tools for resilience and confidence.
