Michelle currently practices from The Nourish Space in Healesville and offering in-person and telehealth consultations. She works with individuals 17 years or older and treats a range of conditions including depression, generalised anxiety, social anxiety, OCD, phobias, eating, weight and body image problems.

Thank you to the wonder women who responded to my course idea poll yesterday!

Now, I need a little help! Are you a woman between the ages of 38-51 experiencing changes physically and mentally that you think could be related to perimenopause, but you're just not sure? If this is you, I'd love to schedule a 20-minute chat with you! I'm currently creating a new program and I want to make sure it's the perfect fit for those I want to support the most--YOU! You can private message me, comment below or drop an email to heather@feedyourbodywell.com.au

P.S.: If this isn't you, but you know someone who fits, please tag them below.

Gratitude and Light,
Heather

Beautiful words from the wonderful Total Balance. Always thought provoking, always timely. Thank you Kate.

"Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.” Reinhold Niebuhr⁠⠀
⠀
It’s difficult not to worry right now. And if you’re anything like me when you start getting caught in a worry-loop you can find a million things to be concerned about. And then it feels overwhelming. ⠀
⠀
But constant worry is not a headspace that helps anyone. We can’t be grounded with our families or supportive with friends when our minds are distracted with worry. We can’t be present in the lives we have or find pleasure in the small things that still make life beautiful. ⠀
⠀
Next time you find yourself in that loop, choose a single concern and think of one practical thing you can do to make a difference. A dear teacher of mine told me years ago that immersing ourselves in every world problem helps no one. Far better to expend your energy where you can genuinely make a difference. ⠀
⠀
If we all do small things often, collectively, that’s a lot. ⠀
⠀
Educate yourself, write the occasional letter, donate, volunteer, research, plant a tree, advocate for someone, cook a meal, send a note, offer words of understanding and kindness. ⠀
⠀
Then give your mind a rest from worry and let yourself live more in the present moment. 🙌⠀

We are social creatures as well as creatures of habit, and this change is huge. Firstly, feel the feels. Acknowledging how you're feeling is the first step in dealing with the challenges.

While I recognise many people are feeding the fear cycle around the current coronavirus situation, I’m not going to talk specifically about that virus, because honestly, we don’t have enough accurate information on it. What I DO want to talk about, as we head into our normal cold and flu season,...

Our friends The Centre for Healing are always on point. If you or a loved one is struggling with addiction, getting to the bottom of the why is so important to the healing process and they can help.

The biggest disservice we do ourselves is running away from the energy we feel in our bodies.

We can’t stand feeling guilt, shame, anger, fear, grief, sadness or hurt so we run...

How do we run??
We use work or alcohol or drugs or tv or relationships or gambling or shopping or video games.
All in the attempt to suppress our emotional body.

‘Self care’ or ‘looking after yourself’ doesn’t mean massages and facials. It means sitting with the energy in your body, sitting with the discomfort without distraction.
Giving the parts of you the attention they need so that you can find out what they’re about and to eventually transmute and transcend them.

Peace ✌🏻
