I hope this email finds you well. I recently did a podcast episode talking about energy, being in a cycle of boom and bust and understanding the difference between fatigue and lethargy and how to heal from each. If you have ever been unwell, you have likely experienced fatigue. If you live with a chronic […]

Do you suffer with lower back pain?
I hope you are well and feeling good in your body. I was talking with someone the other day about priorities as a middle-aged woman – it feels wild to think I am middle-aged, but at 44, statistically, I am! anyway… what we were talking about when it comes to our health and fitness, our priority […]
Gut friendly Kitchari (Lentil Dahl)
Happy Saturday Kitchari is something I was introduced to when I started studying Ayurveda (the healing sister science of Yoga). In Ayurveda, this meal is used to detox, reset, and heal the gut – and you know how that is a big focus for me these days. This recipe is really easy, I drop it all […]
Do you need to escape?
Hello, I struggle to rest and relax in my own home… It’s where I work, so my mind constantly thinks about what needs to be done, what services I can offer, and what’s next… It’s constant and difficult to switch off from. I need to escape my house to recharge… Do you, like me find it […]
Do isometric exercises really lower blood pressure?
Hello, Did you see in the news last week a report that isometric exercises lower blood pressure? I didn’t, because I don’t read or watch the news, but a couple of you reached out to ask… So is it really true? The short answer is yes, but there is a but after that… Isn’t there […]
My latest ferment – Milk Kefir… Have you tried it?
Hello, I was first introduced to kefir back in 2011… and man, do I wish I had kept it in my diet back then… I often wonder if I had paid more attention back then, would I not have crohn’s now? But, that’s not something I know (unless anyone knows how to transport into alternative universes???). Hindsight […]
Have you ever foraged your own food?
Hey Have you ever foraged your own food? What do I mean? Going out into nature and knowing what you can pick, eat/make teas/make herbal infusions from? Nature provides us with everything we need… You just need to know how to identify what’s safe, good and legal to take. That’s why I am teaming up […]
Who knew how and when you breathed in exercise could advance the benefits?!
Who knew your breath was so important when it comes to releasing tension and building strength in your body?! Well, the Yogis have known for hundreds if not thousands of years, Joseph Pilates seemed to be pretty aware when he included it as an integral part of Pilates back in the 1920s… But did you know […]
Make your own Kimchi
If you don’t know what kimchi is, it’s probably best to start there… Kimchi is a traditional Korean side dish made from fermented vegetables, with napa cabbage and Korean radishes being the most common ingredients. I struggled to get napa cabbage, so used sweetheart cabbage instead and I don’t like radish. so I swapped that out […]
Do you get out into nature enough?
Hello, Did you know that connecting with nature is like hitting the reset button for your body & soul? It’s like a big, warm hug from Mother Earth. Getting outside more can help reset our circadian rhythm (our internal 24hour clock). So if you struggle to sleep at night or get up in the morning, are you […]
