Well it’s here - first day back for 2026! Ready to put on my naturopath hat and looking forward to seeing some familiar and new faces!

Hello 2026 🌿

New year, fresh page — but the intention stays the same.
Supporting the body to do what it’s designed to do, with care that’s grounded, realistic and actually sustainable.

This year I’m setting good, solid intentions around nervous system support, gentle consistency, and listening properly to what the body is asking for — not forcing, not fixing, not chasing perfection.

Less noise. More alignment.
More trust in the process.
More staying connected to what truly supports health — physically, emotionally and energetically.

Slow, steady and intentional feels like the right energy for 2026.

Tanya 💚

Summer Solstice marks the peak of light.
Energetically, it’s a moment of fullness — where life force, growth and vitality are at their highest before the gentle turning inward begins.
Spiritually, this day invites us to:
✨ honour our inner light and personal power
✨ acknowledge what has grown and blossomed within us
✨ practice gratitude for the body’s wisdom and resilience
✨ consciously release what no longer aligns as the seasons shift
The solstice represents balance — light and shadow existing together. It reminds us that rest, nourishment and grounding are just as sacred as growth and expansion.
And while Melbourne weather likes to keep us guessing this time of year — cloud one moment, sunshine the next — the solar energy is still very much accessible. When we consciously connect with the Sun, it helps awaken our inner light, gently realigning us with purpose, confidence and direction.
Solar energy encourages warmth where there has been stagnation, movement where there has been heaviness, and trust where there has been doubt.

That’s a wrap for 2025… ✨

Thank you to everyone who’s crossed my path this year — whether for naturopathy or Reiki. It’s been a privilege supporting you on your healing journey.
I’ll be enjoying some downtime and much needed rest and rejuvenation!
Wishing you a peaceful Christmas and a nourishing end to the year. I look forward to seeing old and new faces in 2026 🌿✨

Christmas gingerbread baking with my girl 🤍
Yes they’re GF.
No they’re not sugar-free 😅

BUT… as a naturopath I’ll justify it because:
✨ Ginger – supports digestion, nausea + circulation
✨ Cinnamon – helps insulin sensitivity + blood sugar handling
✨ Clove – antimicrobial, antioxidant + immune supportive

So basically… this is medicinal baking 👩‍⚕️🍪
And also medicine for the nervous system, connection, joy and Christmas magic ✨

Final clinic week before I wrap up for the year ✨
A gentle reminder that after 20 December I’ll be on break until 9 January. I’m intentionally taking a proper break to rest and reset for the year ahead, so I won’t be regularly checking emails or phone messages (only occasionally). This means prompt responses are unlikely.
If anything is urgent, please seek medical care. If you suspect an adverse reaction or issue with your treatment, stop all supplements (or the suspected one) until you hear from me.
Thank you for your understanding 💜

Two of my favourites 🌸 I don’t think many others quite live up to Louise L Hay and Wayne Dyer’s legacy in spiritual empowerment and healing.

Today we pause to honor the beautiful lives and legacies of Louise Hay and Dr. Wayne W. Dyer—two luminous souls who left this world on the same date, two years apart. 💜

Louise and Wayne taught us to embrace self-love, live with purpose, and remember the truth of who we are: spiritual beings having a human experience. Their wisdom continues to ripple through generations, touching hearts and guiding lives with love and light.

As we remember them today, we invite you to carry their teachings forward—speak an affirmation, revisit a favorite passage, or simply share their light with someone you love. 🌻🕊

Drink your green tea 🍵 😃

A new study links drinking green tea with having fewer white matter lesions (WML) in the brains of Japanese seniors, potentially providing a level of protection against dementia. WML are abnormalities in the brain’s white matter (the part of the brain that contains nerve fibres responsible for communication between different brain regions) seen as hyperintense (bright) areas on MRI scans. They generally indicate chronic small vessel (microvascular) disease and are a relatively common finding in an older brain.

Researchers from institutions across Japan teamed up to analyse data on 8,766 volunteers over the age of 65, collected as part of a survey conducted between 2016 and 2018. Self-reported green tea and coffee consumption was cross-referenced against magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain scans, which measured overall brain volume and features of five different brain regions.

The scientists claimed: “This cross-sectional study found a significant association between lower cerebral white matter lesions and higher green tea consumption, but not coffee consumption, in older adults without dementia, even after adjusting for confounding factors”.

The observed effects were not large. Averaged out, those who had three cups of green tea per day had 3 percent fewer WML compared with those drinking one cup per day. Those who drank seven to eight cups per day had 6 percent fewer lesions, compared to those drinking one cup a day. One cup of tea was equivalent to approximately 200 mL.

WML, indicative of cerebral small vessel disease, are associated with vascular dementia and Alzheimer disease (AD). Larger WML were associated with more severe brain atrophy in patients with AD. Recently, a longitudinal study also identified WML as an independent risk factor for cognitive decline, even after accounting for traditional AD risk factors.

Given previous investigations linking green tea with lower blood pressure, and other studies associating lower blood pressure with a reduced risk of dementia, at least one mechanism responsible for the results could be cardiovascular. Interestingly, the scientists observed a significant relationship between increased green tea intake and decreased white matter lesions in individuals without the ApoE ε4 allele, but not in individuals with the ApoE ε4 allele (p for trend = 0.008 and 0.491, respectively).

I have maintained for some time now that my microcirculation phytonutrient diet will help to protect against brain WML. Now there is clear proof of this for green tea (a key element of the diet). The relatively small protection seen for green tea highlights that, as per the basis of the diet, one single intervention might not be enough on its own.
