I made paleo cookies!! 🍪

These are so quick and easy to make, just combine all the ingredients, roll them into balls, squash them into cookie shapes and bake for 15 mins at 180 degrees.

I don’t measure ingredients so this is an approximate recipe. Good luck!!

1 cup almond meal
3 TBS almond butter
2 TBS rice malt syrup
2 TBS raw cacao powder
1/4 cup melted ghee (butter or coconut oil)
Dark chocolate chips or chunks
1 tsp vanilla essence
Pinch of salt

I also like adding orange rind and oil for a choc orange hit, or even peppermint essence for something fresh! I was thinking the other day I might try not adding cacao, just doing the chocolate chunks, browning the butter and going for a chocolate chip cookie dough flavour... the limit is... the limit does not exist. 🙌🏼🍪😘

Magic story... ✨

11 months ago a beautiful massage client came to me and said she was ready to invite in her next child. 🌸

We had a beautiful Ka Huna session together where we both felt a little male energy hovering close.

2 weeks later she felt this little soul anchor in.

While our intention was to connect again for bodywork during her pregnancy, it never aligned, so it was just beautiful to see her one month after her beautiful baby boy came into the world. 💙💚💛🧡❤️💜

Our session this time was about closing her energetic body, bringing her back to earth, grounding her into this reality so she can Mother her two babes with presence, clarity and focus.

Mums, do you remember being pregnant and feeling “off planet”or “focused inward”? Your loved ones might have said you were vague or distracted, not present or focused? In this closing session we honored that time of growth and inward focus, and then encouraged a refocusing on the external world, the present.

It was a beautiful ceremony to perform. And the little man slept deeply as solidly the whole time, just like he was receiving too!

I love the combination of Ka Huna and Heartworks Lomi Lomi. It’s a medicine I am absolutely honored to be able to share. 🙌🏼

Especially when I get to see gorgeous babies with the squidgiest cheeks in the world!!! 😍

Killing the bad bugs! 🦠🪱🪦
When starting an antimicrobial or antiparasitic naturopathic protocol, it’s important to keep in mind the state of the immune system and the functioning of the bowels.
As the bad guys start dying, we need to make sure our organs of elimination are in good working order to get them out. Constipation while doing this kind of protocol can result in an increase of symptoms like headaches, low energy, nausea and malaise. 👎🏼
Having a healthy immune system is also vital as the body will be taking a hit from dealing with all the dead bugs in the gut. It’s possible to end up with an illness during a cleanse if you’re not supporting your immune system during this time.
I recommend lots of water, rest, fiber and whole foods while staying clear of refined sugars, refined carbohydrates, alcohol and too much stress or exertion. Even exercise can knock the immune system at this time, so gentle movement like walking or stretching or yoga is preferable to anything high intensity.
Fingers crossed that bad bugs have been at the bottom of this patients chronic constipation for the last 10 years. So far, so good. 🙏🏼

So this is 38. ❤️
38 revolutions around the sun and sometimes I feel like a baby taking her first wobbly steps. Sometimes I feel like I’ve lived a hundred years. 👶🏼♾👵🏼
Needless to say with every revolution comes more lessons, more opportunities for grown, and more invitations to step into the person that I am. 🙌🏼
Thank you to everyone who sent me love today and to those who made my day extra special by catching up. 🙏🏼
Celebrated this morning with green tea and bagels. Celebrating tonight with a cocktails and green juice. Balance. ⚖️

💩 Happy days!! 💩
A lovely long time client of mine came in this week after an extreme Easter blow out. 😖
She said she couldn’t stop eating the kids “crap” Easter eggs, she felt exhausted and bloated and hadn’t pooped in 5 days! 🙅🏽‍♀️😫
I sent her off with a personalized herbal containing licorice, Siberian ginseng, gymnema, rehmannia and ginger.
3 days later and things are already looking up! Love herbal medicine magic! 🪄🌿🧙🏽‍♀️

Yesterday I said goodbye and good luck to some of my incredible naturopath students, finishing up clinic and their bachelor of naturopathy degrees.
I am proud of these next generation practitioners will be stepping out into the world and sharing their ample knowledge.
These newly fledged practitioners will change people’s lives. I have no doubt. It was a blessing to be part of their journey. And not just for the chocolate. 😉
I have a quote on my vision board that states “When you learn, teach. When you get, give”. They will all go out there to teach their clients what they know. One of our naturopathic principles is “Docere” to teach. Congratulations to you all finishing up, I’m very proud, impressed and inspired by you all. ❤️

🫖 Weekend Chai Ritual 🫖

A couple of mornings a week, mostly on weekends, I’ll spend time making my favorite chai. Honestly I’ve gotten so particular about it that buying a chai out at a nice cafe is often a disappointment. 😜

Blanket naturopathic statement- caffeine is the devil. 👿☕️

It encourages depleted cortisol, increased adrenaline, spikes then crashes our blood glucose levels, affects our nervous system and puts a heavy load on the liver. Oh, AND it inhibits the absorption of some of our essential nutrients such as iron. 👎🏼

For someone who is sensitive to caffeine like me, a cup of coffee on rare occasion seems ok, but have two in a week and I’m likely to be anxious, irritable, overthinking, sweaty, reactive, and experience poor sleep. Oh and tired. 🤦🏽‍♀️

So yeah... it’s just not my medicine. Even strong chai teas can affect me- more mildly but they still contain caffeine from black tea. I have found my combination to be the most beneficial for negating the yucky side effects of caffeine, while still enjoying the benefits! This is what I do...

Heat about 500ml of unsweetened almond milk on the stove with 2-3 heaped TBS of sticky chai mix (original and turmeric are my favorites).

Then I strain into the best keep cup I’ve ever had (because it’s so BIG, is insulated and fits all my chai!!) from .eco, then add about 2ml of an alcohol extracted medical mushroom tincture. I’m currently using Sh*take for its immune building and antioxidant properties from .

I then add a scoop of collagen powder- this one is for hair skin and nails. This mix is about 90% protein, so it slows down gastric emptying, helps to modulate blood glucose and gives more energy for longer. 💪🏼

I’ve found that the combo of medicinal mushrooms and either collagen or gelatin reduces the caffeine spike and crash, plus the protein keeps me full for longer. 😋

Happy chai-ing! 😘❤️🫖

Day before grocery day?

While it was tempting to nip down the road and get a naughty takeaway for lunch, I dug into the crisper and decided to make the most of my sad, week old greens.

For lunch we have stir fried broccolini, bok choy, snow peas and pepitas cooked in coconut oil, tamari, bone broth and sweet chili sauce!

Yes it would have been great to have some ginger, garlic, or protein to bulk this up a bit, but it did the job and I didn’t waste last weeks organic veg!

Feeling a solid adulting win for this one. Going to celebrate with a bubbly water with a splash of probiotic “cordial” in it. Healthy treat!

Bravery is...

Jumping off a waterfall when you’re afraid of heights.

Leaving your comfort zone- a job, a home, a partner, a personality trait.

Staying when you want to run.

Running when when think you should stay.

Watching someone die and continuing to live.

Really looking at yourself, your flaws, your ugliness, the s**t we ALL have inside us and choosing to accept and love that darkness too. Or trying to.

Knowingly breaking someone’s heart.

Opening to love, when you’ve been heartbroken, accepting it could happen again.

Apologizing to your family for hurting them unfairly, just because you are sure of their love.

Revealing your vulnerability to a friend who hurt you and telling them it’s not ok.

Stating your boundaries.

Saying yes to a new job, a new home, a new position, a new love, a new experience.

Saying no to a friend, loved one, boss, company, stranger.

Saying “I was wrong”.

Saying “I love you”.

Saying “I love ME more”.

Walking away, letting go, saying goodbye.

Asking for help.

Accepting help.

Putting one foot in front of the other.

Trying.

Being afraid and doing it anyway. Saying it anyway. Showing up anyway. Diving in anyway.

Bravery is jumping off a waterfall when you’re afraid of heights.
