The blend behind the glow…
So many of you asked — and yes, the radiance isn’t just the polish… it’s the restoration ritual.

This is what I used to bring this table back to life — and what I often use in practice in other sacred ways, too:

🌿 1 tbsp hexane-free castor oil — deeply penetrating, softening, and safe for therapeutic use
🌿 2 tbsp fractionated coconut oil — for lightness and easy absorption
🌿 2 tbsp grapeseed oil — antioxidant-rich, gentle on all surfaces
🌿 2 drops lavender essential oil — to calm the nervous system (yes, even furniture holds memory)

✨ I warm the blend slightly, then massage it in by hand — not just to shine, but to remember.

Only hexane-free castor oil is ever used — the same standard I keep for all therapeutic applications in practice. It’s more than just clean — it carries a clarity that matters.

Let’s keep returning things — and ourselves — to beauty.

🌿 A research-based stress evening that finally makes sense of your symptoms.

There’s been remarkable new research in the last few years about how stress affects the body — from the vagus nerve and cortisol rhythm, to the brain’s immune cells and even our DNA.

Next Thursday, Dr Debbie Smith will explain this science in practical, human language — and show simple tools you can use to support your nervous system.

You’ll learn:

🔹 Why stress affects energy, sleep, gut and hormones
🔹 What the new neuroscience reveals
🔹 How to use breathwork, acupressure, and daily rhythm resets
🔹 A simple toolkit you can start immediately

If you love understanding why your body reacts the way it does — and want tools that genuinely help — this evening is for you.

🗓 Thursday, 20 November
⏰ 6:00pm (South Africa time)
📍 Live on Microsoft Teams

🌞 Unpacked and glowing again — my Bioptron Light Therapy System!

This light has travelled all the way from my Plettenberg Bay practice back to Joburg. It’s one of those quiet helpers that supports cellular repair, circulation, and nervous system balance — especially after acupuncture or recovery sessions.

The light itself is such a gentle, grounding addition for healing and renewal.

Back in place, ready to shine ✨

🌙 “The Table That Witnessed”

Late night. Headphones on. Everyone else asleep.
But this table? Wide awake with memory.

She’s held the weight of hundreds of pulses.
Her grain remembers every scribbled note, every patient’s breakthrough, every breath I’ve ever caught between consults.

Tonight, I gave her something back.
Old scuffs softened. Edges restored.
She drank it in like a women finally being seen, …and perhaps the same way a man softens when he’s safe again.

She shines again — not perfect, just true.
Like all of us.

✨ When we nourish what holds us, it reflects us back.

✈️ Guess what came all the way from Plettenberg Bay back to my Joburg practice?

It’s not clothes, not a cat (promise 😄)… but something that glows.

Any guesses? 💫

I’ll share the reveal tomorrow — and why it’s one of my favourite ways to help patients feel calm, restored, and renewed again.

Love your coffee? Me too. But timing is everything.
Caffeine before breakfast can spike cortisol — your stress hormone.
Try waiting 60–90 min after waking. Your adrenals will thank you.

Stress and hormones are not separate stories — they are the same story.
When stress rises, hormones shift.
When hormones shift, everything from mood to sleep to appetite is affected.

Join me on 20 November as I unpack these patterns and share tools you can use immediately.
Short, practical, supported.

Mindful Eating Moment.

How you eat matters as much as what you eat.
Slow down, breathe between bites, chew properly — it signals safety to your nervous system and improves digestion.
Try one slow meal today and tell me how it felt.

🌿 A New Chapter Begins

Packing up the Plett practice has been emotional in so many ways.

I’ve loved my time there — the people, the stories, the healing — and it’s shaped me in ways I’ll always carry with me.

For those who have asked:
yes, you can still find me online, and in person in Joburg.

And I’m incredibly excited about the next step…
My new online education portal — a space where I teach you how your body works, how to understand your health from a root-cause perspective, and gentle, practical steps you can use to support your wellbeing.

This move isn’t an ending — it’s a natural progression.
A widening of the path.
A chance to serve more people, more deeply, and in new ways.

Thank you to everyone who has walked this journey with me.
Here’s to the next chapter. 💙
