Winter is nature’s invitation to slow down and your body is no exception. We often forget that rest is productive. It’s where repair, regulation and deep healing happen.

This season, instead of pushing through, try leaning into rest.

�Wrap yourself in warmth, say no when you need to, and create space to simply be. Whether that’s sleeping in a little longer, swapping a workout for a walk, or saying yes to an early night, trust that it’s enough.

Rest isn’t lazy. It’s medicinal. Your nervous system, hormones, and immune health all depend on it.

21/07/2025

Winter calls for a slower pace and your meals can reflect that too. This season is all about warming, grounding foods that support your nervous system, feed your gut microbes, and gently strengthen immunity from within.

Think:�
– Slow-cooked lamb or lentil stews�
– Roasted root vegetables with garlic and rosemary�
– Healing bone broths with medicinal mushrooms�
– Warming teas with ginger, turmeric or cinnamon�
– Whole grains, legumes, and seasonal greens

These foods aren’t just comforting. they actively help calm the body, reduce inflammation, and nourish your gut lining, which is key to both mood and immune health.

✨ Food is one of the most powerful medicines we use every day. Looking for ideas? Head to the Recipes section on my website!!

It’s easy to feel like you’ve lost momentum this time of year. The days shorten, energy dips, and the routines that once felt grounding can quietly fall away.

If you’ve fallen out of rhythm, you’re not broken. You’re human. And you’re not alone. Whether it’s anxiety, low mood, or just feeling a little “off,” you don’t need to do everything to get back on track.
�One small change, a nourishing meal, a morning walk, a gentle reminder to rest, can shift everything.
Start small.�Start where you are.�That’s enough.

What’s one simple thing you’re ready to return to this season?

Rest isn’t weakness. It’s regulation. In the cooler months, when energy dips and motivation feels harder to find, it’s easy to blame yourself for not keeping up. But if you live with anxiety or depression, winter can make the heaviness feel deeper and rest becomes not just important, but essential.

Your nervous system isn’t designed to hustle through the seasons. It’s designed to respond to rhythm, slowness, and stillness.
�Warm baths, early nights, soft light, quiet mornings, these are more than comforts.
�They’re medicine for the mind.

✨ If you’re feeling flat, foggy, or anxious right now, you’re not failing. You’re feeling. And that deserves care.

28/05/2025

Your immune system is always working behind the scenes, and how you care for your body each day makes a big difference, especially as we head into the cooler months. ❄️

1. Drink warm herbal teas daily�
2. Eat garlic, onion, and mushrooms regularly�
3. Prioritise rest�

Small, consistent habits lay the foundation for better immunity and more energy throughout winter.

If you’d like personalised support this season, acute consults are available for colds, flus, or viruses.

23/05/2025

Winter is almost here and so is cold and flu season. Feeling run down? Sore throat lingering? Cough that won’t shift? Now’s the time to listen to your body before things spiral.

🌿 Support your immune system with:
�– Warming, nutrient-rich meals�
– Garlic, ginger, and medicinal mushrooms�
– Plenty of sleep and hydration�
– Herbal teas like echinacea, thyme, or lemon balm

And remember, you don’t have to wait until you’re really unwell to get support. Preventative medicine is effective and efficient. Get ahead of cold and flu season this winter.
�I also offer acute consults for colds, flus, and viruses. They’re short, focused, and designed to get you back on track with a tailored plan.

Your body whispers before it shouts. If everything feels harder than usual, even the basics, it might be time to pause.

Snapping at loved ones, waking up tired, or feeling like you just can’t catch up... these are often signs that your nervous system is running on empty.
In a world that glorifies pushing through, resting can feel like a radical act. But it’s also the most important thing you can do to support your gut, anxiety, immunity, hormones, and mental clarity, especially as we head into winter.

✨ You don’t have to earn your rest.�
✨ You just have to listen.

If you’re feeling off track, you’re not alone. I'm here to help you come back to yourself, gently. Reminder to book your follow up consultations! If you’ve been feeling off, overworked or just need some extra support at the moment, I am here to help!

Gut health support doesn’t always come in a capsule. 🌿 Herbal medicine offers gentle, powerful ways to soothe inflammation, calm the nervous system, support digestion, and rebalance the microbiome.

From bitters that stimulate digestive enzymes, to calming nervines that support “rest and digest” mode—there’s a herbal ally for every gut.

Healing begins in the small, intentional moments like a warm herbal tea or a personalised tincture crafted just for you.

Is stress showing up in your gut? You’re not imagining it, stress has a very real impact on digestion. When we’re in fight-or-flight mode, digestion slows down, stomach acid drops, gut bacteria can become disrupted, and cortisol throws off bowel regularity. The result? Bloating, discomfort, and a gut that just feels “off.”

If you’re dealing with ongoing gut symptoms and stress is part of the picture, nervous system support might be the missing piece.
