Three Things - How To Holistically Heal - Bloating + Rest & Digest + Symptoms & Feelings

The "rest and digest" state, also known as the parasympathetic state, refers to the body's relaxed state when it focuses on digestion and restoration.

My Greek Holiday 2 (finding my Ambition)

Hydra Island - Go for coastal walks along cascading houses and mansions up and down the coastline, sip on freddo espressos or a cocktail or two in one of the many sea cliff cafes and restaurants, jump off rocks into the Med, and come up close and personal to the local dolphins. In the village, you will find winding, narrow paths, lit-up fishing tavernas covered with colourful bougainvilleas, and beautiful shops.

My Greek Holiday

My Greek Holiday

I met some fantastic people, traveled back in time to Antiquity, and immersed myself in ancient mythology and ancient herbal medicine while lingering amongst the plants and ancient ruins.

I was bewitched!

Managing Covid Naturally - Part One

Managing Covid Naturally - Part One

I eventually got Covid. It was pretty mild - a raspy voice and a general feeling of 'weirdness,' like I was hosting a dinner party for an unwelcome guest. That week I took my clinic back online from the comfort of my home. I missed Heidi (my assistant), but between phone and email, we found our rhythm.

Wonderful Winter Fruit & Vegetables + Recipe

The temperature has dropped and it's too cold for salads and smoothies. Replace cold foods with warming foods. Start with breakfast - swap smoothies and fruit salad with warming, poached or baked seasonal fruit such as quince, pears, apples, nashi and rhubarb. If you enjoy morning smoothies, add aromatic spices which promote digestion & keep your constitution warm. Cinnamon and ginger work wonderfully well with most fruits & flavours. Swap cold breakfast cereal with a warming breakfast porridge or a protein chia pudding.
