I’m participating in a 10 week course at the moment and this week we delve into the world of “toxic relationships.”

Now I have been very “lucky” or should I say I choose well (most of the time) I have not had any real issues in this area. Of course there has been a couple of people in my life that I had to let go of or limit exposure to, but nothing too drastic. I consider myself very lucky.

I believe most of us actually have, to different degrees a toxic relationship with ourselves. Weather that is from conditioning whilst growing up or just not having positive role models, being the victim or allowing others to control you.

Whatever the reason may be, I see it, I hear it in others and sometime catch myself thinking or doing things that are powered by negative, self sabotaging thoughts.
So this week learning how to recognise, remove or rewire these patterns, in my case is coming at a perfect time.

Take a minute and see if your in a “Toxic Relationship” with yourself, even “ just sometimes”. ❤️

Amazing when you really understand that you are where you are in life because of choices you made along the way.

We are the sum of our choices made by us, weather we are aware of them or not.

So I choose to start being more aware of what I’m choosing so that I can create the change I desire.

Are you aware of how many choices you make on a daily basis? It’s kinda mind blowing how many... so make them good ones that serve your higher purpose and create the life you desire.❤️

Hello Spring….. Hello allergies…

Did you know that doTERRA’s Lavender, Lemon, and Peppermint together are sometimes referred to as the “allergy trio” because they help calm the body’s response to seasonal threats and histamine activity.

They don’t work in the same way as a pharmaceutical antihistamine (which blocks histamine receptor sites), but they do support the body in balancing its immune and inflammatory responses in a natural way.

Here’s a breakdown:

🌿 Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)
🩷 Soothes histamine response → Contains linalool and linalyl acetate, compounds with natural anti-inflammatory and calming effects. They can help reduce swelling, redness, and irritation triggered by allergens.
🩷 Calms the nervous system → Eases stress and anxiety, which can heighten allergy reactions.
🩷 Respiratory support → Helps relax airways and reduce spasms in the respiratory tract.

🍋 Lemon (Citrus limon)
🩷 Natural mucolytic & decongestant → High in limonene, which helps thin mucus and clear airways clogged during allergic responses.
🩷 Immune support → Cleanses the lymphatic system and supports detox pathways that get burdened during histamine responses.
🩷 Clarifies & purifies → Breaks down excess mucus and may help reduce environmental allergen load.

🌱 Peppermint (Mentha piperita)
🩷 Opens airways → Menthol relaxes smooth muscles in the respiratory tract, making breathing easier when congested.
🩷 Anti-inflammatory → Reduces irritation in nasal passages and throat caused by allergen-triggered inflammation.
🩷 Cooling effect → Provides relief from the heat and discomfort of inflamed tissues (like itchy eyes, sinus swelling).

🌼 Why They Work Together
🩷 Lavender calms the inflammatory histamine response.
🩷 Lemon clears mucus and supports detox pathways.
🩷 Peppermint opens airways and soothes irritation.
Together they mimic the outcome of an antihistamine (reducing symptoms like runny nose, congestion, itchy eyes), though through natural pathways.

🌟 Ways to Use Them (Protocols)

1. Seasonal Support Capsule (Internal Use)
• Add 2 drops each Lavender, Lemon, Peppermint to a veggie capsule.
• Take once or twice daily during high allergy season.
(doTERRA oils are safe for internal use; only do this with their CPTG oils.)

2. Allergy Relief Roller
• 10 ml roller bottle:
• 10 drops Lavender
• 10 drops Lemon
• 10 drops Peppermint
• Top with fractionated coconut oil.
• Roll over chest, sinuses, back of neck as needed.

3. Diffuser Blend
• 3 drops Lavender
• 3 drops Lemon
• 3 drops Peppermint
• Run diffuser for 30–60 minutes in living spaces, especially morning and night.

4. Quick Steam Inhalation
• Bowl of hot water + 1 drop Peppermint + 1 drop Lavender.
• Drape towel over head and inhale for a few minutes for sinus opening.

I love this trio anytime of the year, however its my favourite ‘go to ‘ for support right about now (Spring)

A mistake made more than once is a decision, and that means you made the choice to not change.

And that can be a bitter pill to swallow.

So you got some oils hey?

Don’t know what to do with them yet?

They just sitting in the cupboard collecting dust?

Get those babies out, they are liquid gold. Put them where you will see them everyday, several times a day if possible.

These are my morning oils that I have in my bathroom on the counter. Every morning I shower and moisturise and these healing oils are part of my morning and evening routine.

No way I’m forgetting them.

So if you have them and are not sure what to do with them reach out and we can create a routine that’s perfect for you so that you reap the benefits from Mother nature’s gifts.

And if you want to know more about them and how you can start your oily journey reach out to me.

Simples.❤️

Our September Women’s Retreat is coming up very soon and I’m so excited to be able to support and guide these beautiful ladies over the course of a long weekend.

Over the years as a retreat facilitator I hear a lot of positive feedback and the one thing that has been a stand out is that women want more of it. They want to stay on for longer.

They want to be immersed in our healing and transformative space.

Everyone always wants more.

More time.
More workshops.
More sharing.
More understanding of self.
More connection.
More amazing whole foods.
More nurturing.
Pretty much more of everything.

And, well you know I aim to please.

So coming up in 2026 the incredibly talented food goddess Nicki Csiszar and I are joining forces and presenting our first and certainly not last international retreat in Bail.
A secluded venue in the north away from the busy tourist energy. A space for you to completely become immersed in your healing.

Drop a 2026 if you want more information.nn

For EVERY woman.

Beautiful girl, when you are finished falling, after you hit rock bottom and watch yourself come apart into a million pieces, no one is staying to help you collect yourself, no one is sticking around to pick through your pieces to decide which parts of you are worth keeping.
That’s for you to decide. So stay down for as long as you need to. This is the most important part. Take your time. Pay attention. You already broke. So the easy part is over. Go slow.... I know, you thought the breaking was the most painful chapter. It wasn’t. Turn the page. The next part is much longer. It’s the healing. The rise. The comeback. It’s the birth of the new you. And it’s not easy. But you are strong and brave and worth it. You’ll have to leave a lot of yourself behind, you’ll have to let go of all the parts of you that you’ve outgrown. We’re not making ourselves small anymore. We’re not bending to fit where we don’t belong anymore. Do you hear me? We’re going all in.
Count your wounds, every scar ripped open, every drop of blood you bled like a promise, every tear you cried like a bet in the name of crossing your whole heart, your whole soul, was all for this moment.
Right here. Right now. You had to hurt like that to get here to this version of you who knows exactly who she is, who she’s not, who she will never be again.
Drop the apologies, babe. We’re not sorry anymore for who we are, we’re not sorry for what we had to do to get here, and we’re not sorry for the time it took to learn our worth.
Step out of the box of all you were supposed to be, according to everyone who wasn’t you, and walk into the you, who’s comfortable in her own skin. It’s time. You earned it. We no longer wear the expectations of anyone else and we no longer let anyone else decide what we’re worth. Because we know now. We finally know.
And now it’s time to celebrate it.
Get up, babe. It does not hurt anymore.
Now go show YOU what you’re made of.

My life for the foreseeable future now involves being the primary carer for both my beautiful parents.

Caring for elderly and ill parents is profoundly meaningful but also very taxing—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

So I created this protocol for myself with products I already had and use with clients to help sustain my energy, strengthen resilience, and give me nurturing moments to fill my own cup.

Here’s a daily routine incorporating doTERRA oils, supplements, gentle activities, and mindfulness practices:

🌿 Morning – Energize & Protect:

Goal: Ground, boost immunity, and set the tone for the day.

🌸Supplements:

🌸doTERRA Lifelong Vitality Pack (LLV): for foundational nutrition, energy, and stress resilience.
🌸Mito2Max (optional): if fatigue is strong, to support stamina without caffeine.
🌸Oils:
🌸Balance (Grounding Blend): Apply 1 drop to soles of feet while taking 3 deep breaths.
🌸On Guard: Diffuse in the morning to support immunity and purify the home environment.
🌸Citrus oil (Lemon, Wild Orange, or Lime): Add 1–2 drops to water for cleansing and uplifting.
🌸Mindfulness & Movement:
🌸Step outside for 5 minutes of morning sun if possible.
🌸Place one hand on your heart, one on your belly, breathe in for 4, out for 6—repeat 5 times.
🌸Gentle shoulder rolls or stretching to release tension before starting my day.

🌿 Midday – Calm & Sustain

Goal: Stay centred, release stress, and nourish yourself amidst caregiving tasks.

🌿 Supplements:

🌸Adaptive capsules (if anxiety/stress feels overwhelming).
🌸PB Assist+ (probiotic): to keep gut health strong (caregiving stress often impacts digestion).

🌿 Oils:

🌸Adaptive Blend: Apply to pulse points or diffuse for emotional balance.
🌸Peppermint + Wild Orange: Inhale together from palms for an instant energy lift.

🌙 Evening – Release & Restore

🌿 Goal: Transition out of “carer mode,” prepare your nervous system for rest.
🌸Supplements:
🌸Deep Blue Polyphenol Complex if my body feels sore from lifting, bending, or physical strain.
🌸doTERRA Lavender Peace softgels (or Copaiba soft gels, I do both) to prepare for deeper, restorative sleep.
🌸Oils:
🌸Lavender Peace and Vetiver: Diffuse in bedroom 30 minutes before bed.
🌸Frankincense: Place 1 drop in palm, cup over nose and mouth, breathe deeply—let it signal your body that the day is complete.
🌸Copaiba: Apply over heart and back of neck for soothing the nervous system.

🌿Mindfulness & Movement:

🌸Journal one line: “Today I am grateful for…” even if small.
🌸Place warm compress on shoulders with 1 drop Lavender or AromaTouch in water.
🌸Legs-up-the-wall pose or gentle stretching to calm circulation and mind. ( also great for lower back)
🌸3 deep sighs: inhale deeply, exhale with a soft “ahhh,” releasing tension. ( I usually do this once I’m in bed and giving gratitude)

🌸Take a 5-minute mindful break: sip water or tea slowly, noticing taste, warmth, and breath.
🌸Gentle walk around the garden or house, barefoot if possible, to ground your energy.
🌸Stretch spine (cat-cow on the floor or standing) to release tension from caregiving posture.

🌌 Weekly Rituals – Nurture Yourself
🌸Self-care soak: Add 2 drops Lavender + 2 drops Balance + 1 cup Epsom salts to a warm bath.
🌸Creative release: 10 minutes of journaling, doodling, or music just for me.
🌸Connection: Share tea, a walk, or phone call with someone supportive—don’t carry it all alone.
🌸Massage ritual: Mix Fractionated Coconut Oil + AromaTouch and rub into shoulders/neck weekly.

✨ Core Oils for Carer Support:
Balance • On Guard • Adaptive • Lavender Peace • Frankincense • Copaiba • Wild Orange

✨ Core Supplements:
LLV • Mito2Max (if needed) • PB Assist+ • Adaptive/Serenity softgels • Deep Blue Polyphenol

I know this sounds like a lot of things to do and take but I have it down pat and am making sure I, as the carer am also a priority.

Let me know if you need some support and I’ll help you create a daily protocol and practice to make life that much better.

For all of us out there feeling all the feels.

‘Charlie’, our donkey to lighten and brighten the day.

🌿 Oils for Emotional Support in Disappointment & Frustration

1. Melissa – The Oil of Light
• Emotional effect: Helps lift heavy emotions, dispels darkness and despair, restores hope when you feel let down.
• Body systems: Supports the nervous system and endocrine balance, calming stress hormones.
• How to use: Apply 1 drop over the heart or on the crown of the head. Diffuse with citrus oils to brighten mood.

2. Forgive® (Renewing Blend)
• Emotional effect: Specifically designed to release resentment, anger, and disappointment; helps shift perspective toward compassion (for yourself and others).
• Body systems: Supports cardiovascular and nervous system by lowering stress load.
• How to use: Roll over the heart, back of neck, or soles of the feet. Diffuse during journaling or meditation.

3. Bergamot – The Oil of Self-Acceptance
• Emotional effect: Soothes self-blame, shame, or rejection that often rides alongside disappointment. Invites self-compassion and inner strength.
• Body systems: Uplifts mood by modulating neurotransmitters (serotonin, dopamine). Supports digestion (emotions often sit in the gut).
• How to use: Inhale from the bottle, diffuse, or place 1 drop in palm with Frankincense and breathe deeply.

4. Frankincense – The Oil of Truth
• Emotional effect: Grounds and reconnects you to inner truth when external relationships feel unstable. Opens spiritual perspective.
• Body systems: Calms the nervous system and supports cellular repair (useful when emotional stress is felt physically).
• How to use: Apply to crown of head, heart, or over solar plexus for stability and clarity.

5. Geranium – The Oil of Love & Trust
• Emotional effect: Softens bitterness, restores trust after feeling betrayed, reopens the heart space.
• Body systems: Supports circulatory and integumentary (skin) systems—connected to flow and emotional protection.
• How to use: Apply diluted over the chest/heart or add a drop to body lotion. Lovely in a warm bath.

6. Console® (Comforting Blend)
• Emotional effect: Helps you grieve losses (whether relationships, expectations, or illusions). Brings reassurance and emotional safety.
• Body systems: Nourishes the nervous and cardiovascular systems, reducing grief’s physical toll.
• How to use: Diffuse at night or apply to pulse points during reflection.

🌸 Practices to Move Through the Emotions
1. Heart Anointing Ritual
• Place 1–2 drops of Geranium + Frankincense over your heart.
• Place your hand over your chest, breathe, and repeat: “I release what was not mine to carry. I honor my heart’s truth.”
2. Diffuser Blend for Release
• 3 drops Bergamot
• 2 drops Forgive
• 1 drop Frankincense
(Helps shift frustration into perspective and hope.)
3. Grounding Foot Application
• Massage Forgive or Console into the soles of the feet before bed to anchor emotional release and support nervous system repair.
4. Body Connection
• Disappointment often shows up in the chest (heart/lungs) and gut (digestion). Oils like Bergamot, DigestZen, or Cardamom on the abdomen can support “digesting” the emotional experience.
5. Journaling with Oils
• Diffuse Frankincense + Bergamot, then write:
• Where am I holding onto an expectation that isn’t serving me?
• What truth about myself is this experience asking me to see?

✨ Key insight:
Disappointment arises when the reality of others doesn’t match our trust or expectations. Oils can help soothe the nervous system, open the heart for healing, and restore your inner truth—so you can move forward with strength, clarity, and compassion (for yourself first).
