Roots Therapy

Roots Therapy has a deep rooted passion to help those in need using a holistic approach.

I am a born empath with a passion to help people reach their full potential by bringing balance to the body, mind and soul. During my own healing journey I experienced an awakening which enhanced my inherent abilities further and has allowed me to become a stronger healer and intuitive reader. My inborn passion is to help facilitate the healing of anyone I meet and it's with this care that I have created Roots Therapy. I want to get down to the root cause of the problem so that my clients can experience true healing - healing that is steadfast and restorative. All of my healing techniques are energy based, including the easy-to-follow nutritional advice and the herbal supplements that I may recommend. Having a BA Degree in Psychology I am very adept at counselling my clients through their trials and tribulations, with my number one goal being the complete balance between the body, mind and soul!

*Are you a crafty one?*

It was during my healing journey that I began to dabble in a few hobbies - 5 years on I have a basketful of different things that I lean into from birdwatching, painting, crocheting, dancing, singing, yoga, trail walking, language learning and miniature making my world of inspiration and creation is full!

Research shows that when you engage in a hobby you invite amazing benefits into your life which includes a reduction of stress, improved mental health, better physical well-being, and enhanced cognitive skills like problem-solving.

*A tiny pumpkin seed grows into a fruitful body - symbolizing growth and transformation*

Known as *pepitas* and packed with protein, healthy fats, fiber, antioxidants and a large array of minerals, pumpkin seeds are power packed, nutrient nuggets that hold incredible benefits when it comes to finding internal balance ⚖️

- *Heart Health* The high magnesium content helps regulate blood pressure, while healthy fats, fiber, and antioxidants help reduce cholesterol and improve blood flow, lowering the risk of heart disease.

- *Improved Sleep* Pumpkin seeds are a natural source of the amino acid tryptophan which can help promote restful sleep. The magnesium content further aids by calming the nervous system.

- *Prostate and Bladder Health* Compounds in the seeds support prostate health and may help manage symptoms of an enlarged prostate (BPH) and overactive bladder in both men and women.

- *Bone Health* Rich in magnesium, phosphorus, and manganese, they contribute to bone formation and density, potentially reducing the risk of osteoporosis, especially in postmenopausal women.

- *Blood Sugar Control* The protein, healthy fats, and fiber content help stabilize blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity.

- *Immune System Support* High levels of zinc, iron, and antioxidants (like vitamin E) bolster the immune system and help fight off infections and inflammation.

- *Digestive Health* The dietary fiber aids digestion, promotes regular bowel movements, and supports a healthy gut microbiome.

Traditionally pumpkin seeds have been symbolically linked with *abundance, prosperity, protection, creativity and communion* - Start adding them to any dish!

Each year I choose a word that is representative of what I would like to achieve - the goals and dreams I'd like to welcome in ✨

This year my word has framed my biggest intent which in essence is to truly surrender into the stream of life - and by this I mean to find joy in where I am at every given moment because you always are where you are meant to be and every given moment is a gift... A gift of presence 🪷

So what word will you choose to represent your inner wishes so that these can materialize and show up in the greatest expression!

As the festive season draws closer the energies surrounding us may be a combination of wonder, joy, exuberance and busyness ✨ Many of us may find this period quite exhausting...

Holidays come with many obstacles when trying to navigate your pathway to health and healing ✨

I hope you find the following tips useful to assist you in navigating your way through the tinsel, toasts and festivities 🤍

- opt for lean cuts of protein (chicken, fish and ostrich are great options)
- choose loads of veggies over the meat trimmings
- incorporate potatoes / sweet potatoes / butternut / pumpkin as main dishes to bulk up your meals (roasted, mashed or steamed)
- choose sauces that are low fat ie vinaigrettes, roasted veg, tomato based sauces
- create desserts using dates and maple syrup
- think fruit when wanting to eat something sweet
- hydrate, hydrate, hydrate: stick with the morning protocol of lemon water, celery juice and your smoothie plus incorporate cucumber juice and watermelon slushies!
- skip the champagne and create a signature sparkling drink using a dash of good quality tequila with sparkling water and pomegranate kernels

Creating memories need not incorporate a heavy creamed, fatty meal - think fresh salads, roasted vegetables and clean protein 😌

From my home to yours - may you be blessed 🕯️🤍

*Hello Chakra's - Tell me how you're doing?*

Are you aware that your body's nervous system is intricately connected to your emotion centre?

Your nervous system has wheel-like vortices all over the body (114 of them in fact) and they interact with our outside environment as a self preservation mechanism -

These 'energy centres' are our communication centre with the cosmic energies of our environment. They are what make up the chakra system and it's in this system that brings complete balance to your mind, body and soul ✨

Any blockages or imbalances in these areas will affect your ability to manifest and create! When out of balance we experience health issues or recurrent life themes 🌼

So let's get familiar with the 7 main Chakra's that lie along the spine:

❤️Root Chakra - I AM
This centre is located at the base of your spine and represents your physical well-being.

In balance we are connected to nature and it's natural ebb and flow.

🧡Sacral Chakra - I FEEL
This centre is located behind the navel and represents the reproduction of being.

In balance we have a happy connection to life.

💛Solar Plexus Chakra - I DO
This centre is located in the pit of your stomach and represents the formation of being.

In balance we have inner peace and harmony with our environment.

💚Heart Chakra - I LOVE
This centre is located in the space behind your breastbone and represents loving beyond self.

In balance we are able to exude a feeling of wholeness and tolerance.

🩵Throat Chakra - I SPEAK
This centre is located in the centre of your throat and represents the expression of being.

In balance we are tuned into our inner voice and have the ability to express ourselves clearly.

💙Third Eye Chakra - I SEE
This centre is located between the eyes and represents the knowing of being.

In balance we have awareness of spiritual aspects.

💜Crown Chakra - I UNDERSTAND
This centre is located at the top of the head and represents the pure being.

In balance we are connected to the universe and is the totality of a person

Creamy and comforting this tasty pasta bake fits in well on any festive table 🥮 Plus it's filled with healing ingredients to help you continue along your path of balance ✨

*Pumpkin Pasta Bake*

*Ingredients*

3 cups chopped pumpkin
1 cup water
1 pack gluten-free pasta
1 medium-sized red onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tbsps roughly chopped sage
2 tsp finely chopped rosemary
2 tbsps tomato passata
1 15-oz can crushed tomatoes
1 cup water
Sea salt (optional), to taste
Freshly ground black pepper (optional), to taste
½ cup gluten-free or chickpea breadcrumbs

*Directions*

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If you are using chopped pumpkin, place the pieces on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for about 20 to 25 minutes or until browned and tender. Once roasted, blend the pumpkin with the water until smooth and set aside.

Meanwhile, cook the gluten-free pasta until 2 minutes short of al dente (still relatively hard), then drain and set aside.

While the pumpkin is roasting, place a large ceramic non-stick skillet over medium heat. Sauté the red onion until it becomes translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic, sage and rosemary and continue to sauté for another 1 to 2 minutes, until fragrant

Next, add the tomato paste to the skillet. Cook, stirring continuously, for 1 to 2 minutes, until it gets slightly darker in color. Pour in the can of crushed tomatoes, followed by the cup of water. Allow the sauce to simmer for at least 15 minutes to develop its flavors. Pour in the pumpkin mixture and season with sea salt and black pepper (if using). Mix well.

Once the sauce is ready, combine it with the cooked pasta, making sure the pasta is evenly coated. If the mixture seems too thick, add additional water to reach your desired consistency. Transfer the pasta mixture to a baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the top of the pasta, creating a light, even layer. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy. Once done, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving.

Isn't it absolutely amazing that we have been blessed with an built-in resonance system that aids in bringing balance 🎶

Humming is something I find myself doing naturally when I'm needing to concentrate on a task or to reduce my anxiety 🤔

Humming has tremendous benefits as it:-

* reduces stress
* enhances your breathing
* improves heart rate viability
* lowers blood pressure
* stimulates and regulates the vagus nerve
* clears sinuses
* improves your mood
* relieves pain
* deepens meditation
* encourages relaxation
* mental clarity
* lowers anxiety
* supports sleep
* strengthens immunity

It has been shown that humming 3-4 times a day (aiming for 5 minutes at a time) is a wonderful way to bring about changes and enhance your well-being!

Just wow 🤩

Through my healing journey I've learnt to eat what's in season and my goodness this time of year is absolutely marvelous with the abundant variety of seasonal fruit around 🍎🍋🍌🍉🍇🍓🫐🍈

And today's it's all about *cherries*🍒🍒🍒

*Did you know?*

Our livers are overburdened in today's time and the amount of toxins that our body encounters (and our liver has to deal with) is rampant, making our dear liver sluggish and tired 😫

Cherries are absolutely amazing when it comes to revitalizing our liver - they are the ultimate liver tonic, cleanser and rejuvenator 🍒

A handful of cherries can be so healing when wanting to promote healthy haemoglobin, sharpening the mind and alleviating constipation!

Cherries not only purify the bowels but they cleanse the bladder aiding in easing prolapse or constrictive muscles PLUS cherries are on of the best endocrine enriching foods that aid in stimulating weight loss as well as being a phenomenal source of zinc and iron 💪🏻

Cherries are rich in the amino acids that promote melatonin reducing stress and protecting your brain from alzheimer, dementia and brain tumors - wow!

Women can especially benefit from cherries as they remove toxins embedded in the uterus tissue aiding to reduce fibroid and cyst activity 🪷

And lastly cherries teach us patience - you cannot rush to eat a cherry without fear of biting into the stone pip... It requires mindfulness and care 🤍

Our Story

Roots Therapy employs a holistic approach to care.

Bio-Resonance Scanning - The Path to Healing Comes From Within

Roots Therapy employs a holistic approach to health, empowering our clients in their healing journey, with the main goal of getting to the root of the problem always in mind.

Leanne is proudly associated with Essential Health Wellness Centre, consulting under their name at their rooms as a Holistic Practitioner - using the Quantum Resonance Analyser, the BioPlasm Scanner as well as the Rife system.

Through a series of bio-resonance scanning sessions, we are able to see down to cellular level what is happening in the body therefore obtaining specifics with regards to your health, wellness and progress, as well as offer detailed information, supplements and excellent nutrition advice.

All bookings for the bio-resonance scanning to be done through Cathy on 083 654 9943

Reiki Healing - A Massage For The Soul

Along with the passion to heal from a biological point of view, Roots Therapy also offers energetic healing using Reiki therapy which aids in the reduction of stress & anxiety, increases relaxation, unblocking stagnant energy thereby restoring emotional and physical well-being.

Reiki is non invasive and the client remains fully clothed during the session. The practitioner works with the clients own energy and through various hand positions and techniques removes negative blockages and aligns the chakras. It is a natural, safe method to bring about healing and self-improvement. It is not a religion and is not dependant on a belief system.

Clients are able to customise their therapy to incorporate only the individual components of bio-resonance or Reiki healing. However, to truly reap the wonderful benefits that bio-resonance and Reiki can offer, both facets can be employed for a more integrated approach to healing.
