Need to be right?…

We may often find ourselves caught in disagreement, conflict, debate, or battle.

Whether it be with our child, lover, mother, or friend we can find ourself going back and forth.

Next time you find yourself in this ~ stop.

Ask yourself; can I let go of my need to be right?

Both of us are tyring to be right, therefore both of us will be wrong. Both will lose.

It requires depth, connecting to your endless source of worth, energy and love. Know your worth, know your values, know your alignment. You don’t need another person to deem you worthy, you don’t need another person to deem your value, you don’t need another person to align with you.

A gentle reminder, it is okay to disagree, and most importantly ~ we don’t have to be right.

Take the lead. Can it be you?

Magnesium, the unexpected effects ...

Magnesium is often marketed as a sleep supplement, but it does a lot more than help our rest, and the type we take really matters.

In practice, magnesium can affect digestion, muscle tension, stress levels, and sleep quality; which is why not all forms work the same way.

Some types are commonly used for relaxation and sleep, like magnesium glycinate or L-threonate. Others are better suited for digestion or medical use and may actually disrupt sleep or cause gut upset.

More isn’t always better. The wrong form or dose can lead to diarrhoea, interact with medications, or be unsafe for some people; especially those with kidney issues.

We have always taken a food-first approach. Real food is the foundation, and our focus is on helping you understand how to build a balanced plate so your body can naturally receive the nutrients it needs.

At times, some people may benefit from additional support. When used, supplements should support care, not replace it.

Before deciding to supplement with magnesium, or any other mineral or vitamin, we recommend speaking with a health care practitioner so you can be sure your body receives the support it needs.

Whilst we don’t sell supplements in-clinic, we’re happy to help guide you toward an option that will meet your needs.

Maria, we’re so grateful to support your wellness. Thank you for trusting us through this process, and for meeting yourself with this same trust, care, and honesty. 🙏🏼

’I first met Nardia about five years ago after being referred to her following my cancer diagnosis. At that point, I’d been through a lot of conventional treatment and honestly felt like the side effects were doing more harm than good. At our very first chat, Nardia’s warmth, lived experience, and depth of knowledge really stood out. She helped me look at things in a new way, suggesting some extra testing that gave me the clarity I needed to adjust my treatment and move in a direction that actually suited my body. We worked together on a program focused on cleansing, proper hydration, good nutrition, and daily rituals to support healing. When I felt like giving up, it meant so much to have someone outside my family to lean on, and someone I could be real with and who met me with honesty and genuine care. I could always reach out to Nardia when I needed support or reassurance, and she was always there with calm, practical advice. I’m so grateful to say that I’m now cancer free, living well, feeling strong, and enjoying life again with my family and friends. Thank you, Nardia, for your ongoing check ins, care, and everything you’ve done to help me find my way back to health.’ ~ Maria

Why Do We Crave Certain Foods? …

Ever notice how cravings can hit even when you’ve eaten not long ago? This is not a lack of willpower; it’s our biology at work.

When we eat, our blood sugar naturally rises and then falls. If it rises quickly and drops just as fast, the body often signals for more fuel to bring levels back up. This is when cravings appear, usually for sweet or carbohydrate-heavy foods.

For example, a breakfast of oats with fruit, juice, and toast with jam can create a rapid blood sugar spike. When it dips soon after, it’s common to feel hungry again by mid-morning.

When meals are more veggie based, the response is different. Blood sugar rises more slowly and stays steadier, supporting more consistent energy and fewer cravings as the day goes on.

Cravings are often a message from the body about what came before, not a personal failing. With more balanced meals, it becomes easier to feel nourished, clear-headed, and calm throughout the day.

Come ~ allow yourself to discover the clarity and calm that comes with balance.

Our Body Keeps Score ...

Our body is always communicating with us.

It speaks through aches and pains, discomfort, anxiety, fatigue, that heavy feeling we can’t quite name, or the sense that we’re unable to fully express ourself. These aren’t random signals, they are messages.

When something doesn’t feel right, it’s not our body failing us. It’s our body trying to get our attention.

Often, we’re taught to silence these messages. Take a pill. Push through. Keep going. While medication can be supportive at times, it usually addresses the symptom, not the deeper story underneath.

Beneath the discomfort, there may be unmet needs; emotions that were never held.

Experiences where we felt unseen, unheard, or not cared for. Moments where emotions had to be suppressed just to survive.

Over time, our body remembers. When those messages go unheard for long enough, our body speaks louder; through flare-ups, tension, pain, or persistent unease. This isn’t punishment, it’s communication.

What we’re rarely taught is how to listen. How to gently encourage dialogue with our body. How to sit with discomfort instead of running from it. How to create safety within ourselves so healing can begin.

When we learn to listen to our body, it no longer has to shout.

2 + 0 + 2 + 6 = 10 → 1 + 0 = 1

Entering the first year of a new 9 year cycle, this is a year of beginnings, renewal, and self-direction. A time to set clear intentions, plant new seeds, and move forward with purpose.

What we’ve released has created space. What we’ve learned gives us strength. With the steady transition of energies around us, we begin again; one considered step at a time.

May this year support clarity, courage, and steady growth as we begin again.

Come ~ step into the new with a clear heart and grounded spirit.

So Here I Bow to 2025 …

This year asked more than expected. It taught through resistance as much as through grace.

Thankful for the hands that steadied me and the hearts that walked beside me.

Lili. The real boss. The quiet force. The presence that holds everything together.

Sarah and Alex. The therapists who support our patients and me so beautifully. Your care is the work, and the work is sacred.

Ross and Jason. The fixers of everything. The ones who meet what’s broken with patience, skill, and generosity, and make things whole again.

Mum and Dad. My constant ground and biggest supporters. The last minute calls, the stock pickups, the shoulders that carry when I cannot.

Completely glorious, all of it and all of you ~ always stepping in when I couldn’t.

This year did not pass alone. It was held, and because it was held, it has grown.

Thank you, simply ~ thank you 🤍

No Whey! ...

In recent months, we’ve noticed more patients coming to our clinic with digestive discomfort, upper abdominal pain, bloating, and kidney stones. In some cases, further investigation has been needed to check kidney and liver function.

One thing many of these patients have in common is the use of creatine and protein powders. Many of our patients are also surprised to learn that there is a direct cause between these highly processed supplements and their specific digestive concerns.

Over the past decade, the popularity of protein powders has grown rapidly, driven by social media, podcasts, and fitness influencers. While there is some evidence to show that certain supplements can be beneficial, the way that many supplements are being promoted disregards the fact that these highly processed and refined products are not safe or suitable for everyone.

Problems arise when these are taken in excess or without consideration of existing health conditions, hydration, or diet. This can put unnecessary strain on the kidneys and liver; and can also lead to digestive upset, dehydration, and electrolyte imbalances.

What works well for one person may not be appropriate for another. Take the time to seek guidance from a qualified health professional who understands you.

Our health is unique: a reflection of our life, our choices, and our body’s quiet wisdom.

Come ~ let us listen with intention, guide and support your path to wellness.

Thank you, Sarah, for sharing your powerful experience with us. We are overjoyed to have supported you through this health transformation. The trust you have for your body and its ability to heal is beyond inspiring. 🙏🏼

“In February 2025 I had the absolute pleasure of completing a 7 day intensive cleanse with Nardia which altered the trajectory of my life and level of wellbeing forever. I went in having spent the last 6 months implementing nutrition changes from Nardia’s nutrition education course and receiving regular colonics - which had already improved my health and vitality hugely. 

Before I started seeing Nardia I was challenged by chronic fatigue, gut issues, painful periods, constant illness, chronic constipation, pain after eating, bloating, poor sleep, brain fog, achy and fluid filled joints, weight gain, mental and emotional dysfunction amongst other symptoms. Deep down I knew that it was only a matter of time before all of these symptoms created serious disease in my body - but I didn’t know who to turn to for help. 

Nardia and Lili assisted me in supporting my body in preparation for the cleanse, walked beside me during and supported me afterwards to my most vital level of health I can remember. 

Nardia is a true professional, with an outstanding wealth of knowledge on health, wellbeing and life which she shares so freely with others. She’s given me tools that will support my health for the rest of my life. Nardia has a true gift to walk beside you while you heal what has been plaguing you for years. She knows when to lovingly challenge you, and when to support you. 

Although I did not come to Nardia to lose weight, I lost over 20kgs during the process and over 40cms of toxic weight that had been weighing me down and contributing to my chronic illness. I didn’t believe that anyone would be able to transform my health in the significant way Nardia and her team at AWC has supported me in doing. 

I highly recommend the 7 day residential with Nardia and her team to anyone who is sick and tired of being sick and tired.” ~ Sarah

Do We Need Time To Heal? …

Actually, what we need isn’t just time; we need new experiences that show our nervous system a different reality.

When we go through repeated trauma or disappointment our nervous system starts to expect danger, rejection, and loss. Our bodies can begin to predict pain, even when it’s no longer there. This is often where self-sabotage begins.

We like to support patients in creating new input for the nervous system.
A secure friendship that teaches the body connection can be safe A respected boundary that teaches us it’s safe to speak up

Healing isn’t just the absence of pain, it’s the presence of these corrective experiences. Our nervous system doesn’t learn through time alone; it learns through repetition and contrast.

We need to feel something different in order to believe something different.

Trust In The Unknown ...

Anxiety often rises from our struggle to tolerate uncertainty.

When we don’t know what’s coming next, we try to protect ourselves. We overthink, overdo, overplan; hoping that more control will create more safety.

Instead, these habits signal to the brain that we are not safe, and it stays on high alert.

True healing begins not by eliminating uncertainty, but by expanding our nervous system’s capacity to feel safe within it. This sounds like: “I don’t know what will happen, but I know I will be okay.”

We learn this through life itself; through challenges, heartbreaks, losses, rejections, surprises, and risks. Every time something difficult happens and we make it through, our nervous system gathers evidence that we can handle the unknown.

That’s why we gently encourage doing the things we may fear:
make the call take the chance speak the truth apply for the job open your heart

On the other side, regardless of the outcome, we uncover a quiet truth: it was never as frightening as our mind imagined. Even in heartbreak, rejection, or disappointment, we remain standing; still breathing, still moving forward, still okay.

A quote we love and return to often: “A bird doesn’t trust the branch that it’s sitting on, it trusts its ability to fly in case that the branch breaks.”

Come ~ allow us to walk beside you as you rediscover your strength, your calm, and your capacity to soar.

About Us

Adelaide Wellness Clinic has been birthed due to my own personal experience with chronic illness, which I am sure resonates with many others.

From a young age, I have felt drawn to people, health and well-being, and making a difference in people’s lives. It led me down a path of curiosity to know more about the body and the mind, and the significant connection between the gut and the brain.

Our health and well-being is the most precious resource we have in our lives.
