Skullcap is a herb I’ve had a long relationship with.

I used to grow it in my garden when I lived in Perth, and for a time it would come up in the work I do, for myself and my clients.
Not as a tincture for people to take home, though I did make some, but to be placed on the body, introduced energetically, and brought into the balance.

Over the years, I’ve noticed skullcap tends to show up around periods of sustained effort, particularly when that effort eases and the body no longer needs to stay so alert. How do I know when it needs to come into a balance? Your body tells me.

I’ve also drunk skullcap tea on and off over the years. Its really nice on its own, but also as a blend. I still have some in the pantry, though I don’t reach for it as often these days. Maybe writing this is a quiet nudge to revisit that relationship.

Like many herbs, skullcap isn’t dramatic. It doesn’t force change. It meets the body where it is.

Just sharing for those who know this plant already, or for those who recognise this pattern in themselves

A moment of observation with a cup of tea

Before drinking, pause for a moment.
Notice how it feels to stop and give yourself this space.

As you take the first few sips, you might quietly observe:

your breathing - is it shallow, deep, rushed, steady

your body - do you notice areas of tension, warmth, heaviness, ease

your thoughts - are they busy, quiet, looping, neutral

your mood - do you feel flat, settled, alert, or tired

Follow the tea with your awareness as you swallow, noticing its warmth as it makes its way down and into your stomach.

There’s nothing to change or improve. Just notice.

Herbalists learn their plants this way, by paying attention to taste, sensation, subtle response. Over time, the body offers information if we’re willing to listen.

As you finish the cup, check in again.
Did anything shift, even slightly? Or did things stay the same?

Either is OK.

A bit of Sunday fun.

What accusations would have been levelled at me in Tudor England?

Why else, but for being a farmer who stayed out past curfew in the privy 😅
(just quietly, im pretty sure it would be witchcraft)

Something that can surprise people is that pain doesn’t always begin where you feel it.

Quite often the body is compensating for something happening somewhere else, for example:

• jaw tension can show up as headaches
• digestive irritation can sometimes show up as mid-back discomfort
• tight hips can contribute to lower back pain
• neck tension can trigger headaches

The body is constantly adapting and redistributing load, so sometimes the place that hurts isn’t where the pattern actually started.

The body is very good at adapting and redistributing load.

Sometimes those patterns just need a bit of help to settle again.

Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet,
eating her curds and whey…

Today I found myself smiling for singing it while straining some yoghurt I made. It separated and has a nice mild tang, so I’m straining off the whey and, with the mix of milk and cream I started with, I will likely end up with something between cultured mascarpone, rich labneh, or a creme fraiche style cheese.

I don’t have many of the trend 'must haves'. I know it’s not ideal, but today it’s draining through a clean Chux cloth because that’s what I have.

Years ago I fermented yoghurt overnight in the oven with just the light on for warmth. No starter culture, no problems. I used probiotic capsules from the fridge.

Sterilising equipment?
Usually the dishwasher on a hot wash or a zap in the microwave.

Love my craptastic foodie photography - I got plenty more of that up my sleeve 😜
Start where you're at.

What are your favourite ways to use whey? Please share, I'd love to hear them.

A pattern I see quite often with women who come in for sessions is that many of them are coping, but their body is under pressure.

Your nerves and your immune cells are constantly communicating.
Chronic stress or long periods of pressure can distort that conversation, and the body starts compensating.

Those compensation patterns can show up as digestion that flares when life gets busy, shoulders and neck that stays tight, or maybe feeling more reactive or easily overwhelmed.

Over time, these things can start to affect resilience.

The work I do focuses on helping the body recalibrate so that the conversations your body has become clearer again. When that happens, many people start to notice that they feel calmer, lighter, and more steady in themselves.

Flick me a message if you would like to book an appointment.

Did you know?

Some of the early development of kinesiology came from practitioners simply observing patterns in their clinics.

For example, Dr George Goodheart noticed that certain muscles consistently tested weak when particular organs or body systems were under stress.

Over time these repeated observations were mapped into muscle–organ relationships that practitioners could work with.

Many modern kinesiology methods grew from this combination of clinical observation, anatomy, neurology, and traditional health models.

Why stress matters

Stress doesn’t only affect how we feel mentally. It also influences how the body regulates itself.

Over time, chronic stress can affect digestion, sleep, immune activity, inflammation, and overall energy levels.

This is why many health approaches now focus on supporting nervous system regulation.

Kinesiology looks at how stress patterns are showing up in the body and helps identify where support may be needed.
