Our Home Healer class dove into cleanse & detoxification — the way our liver, kidneys, bowels, lungs, skin & lymphatics naturally clear wastes and keep us vital. 🌬️🫁🫀

We discussed foods, herbs that support these pathways.
🥕🥕 Then we tasted some vibrant juices & smoothies. 🥬🥒🍏
Next week we are all doing a spring cleanse
together
Why not join in!

🌿 Home Healing Garden Begins

This is the very first step in building my
🏡 Home Healing Garden
I have been laying the groundwork (literally).

Layering cardboard over the grass, then covering it with this free mulch (thank you Francis the tree surgeon) 🙏🏽
to suppress weeds, nourish the soil, and create the perfect base for future garden beds.

🌞 Im starting with the sunny side of my house, a great patch for veggie growing, herb medicine-making, nourishment for my battle weary soul, and a future place for others to learn and connect to mother earth. 💫🙌🏽💚



This is the beginning. I’ll be sharing each step of the process with you as it unfolds.
All gardening tips welcome, let’s grow together 💚

✨ Is menopause a disease that needs to be treated?OR a transformation that needs to be supported. In sundays Home Healer class, we’re diving deep into this question. We’ll explore our physiology shifts, and how herbs, food, and ritual can become powerful allies during this time.💫Menopause is not the end. It’s the beginning of a new kind of strength — one rooted in wisdom, clarity, and creative sovereignty.🌿 This isn’t about “managing symptoms” — it’s about meeting the shift with grace, vitality, and meaning.

🌿 Embracing your unique gifts isn't just a personal journey - it's a gift to the world

🙏🏼YOU are a unique gift to the world.

✨ No matter how small you may think you are, you make the world a better place - perhaps a nuturing mum, a protective dad, the under 12 soccer coach for the 6th year in a row, the playgroup co-ordinator, seniors choir leader, an entrepreneur, a movie maker or music player; life is richer and more meaningful when embracing your gifts. 🌱

You are precious and the world needs you 💚

My Story

Oh to begin this story with my birth in a field of wild lavender, followed with a childhood bathed nightly in chamomile flowers. Raised on nothing but fresh air, tree climbing and wholefoods. Tending to our biodynamic/permaculture backyard, bottling produce and making home remedies under the guidance of my loving, radiantly healthy parents, singing lullabies in foreign languages while playing the ukulele into the night …

But no. I grew up in the blue collar western suburbs of Sydney with dreams of being a nurse. I loved the hands on work and genuine caring of nurses and while still in preschool I recall declaring in a loud voice, “I’m going to be a nurse!” As a pr***en I would get lost in a series of novels about nurses working with the sick in the community, no doctor in sight. My story continues in a way which may relate to more of you than the opening paragraph. Let’s just say my youth was a tad wild ok? My poor parents and my poor body. At 23 I instinctively knew I couldn’t continue polluting my body and became a vegan.

I devoured any vegetarian literature I could get hold of, reading amazing stories of recovery from life-threatening and chronic illnesses through nutrition, herbal remedies, and other natural healing therapies. I fell in love with the amazing, complex, unique, delightful, frustrating, intelligent piece of machinery our body is. At the age of 30, I reignited my passion for health and healing embarking on a full-time study at a major naturopathic school in Sydney. After 3 years of study, I signed up for Dorothy Hall’s Herbal Medicine College. She was 74 years old and I was pregnant with my first child and her ways really resonated with me, acknowledging not only physical manifestations of health or ill health but the impact emotions and circumstance play in sickness. I have been using this holistic, style since then.
