The Flat Belly Detox Drink I love to drink in the morning.

After parties, alcohol and heavy meals, bloating is often fluid retention, gut overload and a sluggish liver — not weight gain.

Why these ingredients work:
• Cucumber & celery → reduce water retention and puffiness
• Lemon → supports liver detox and digestion
• Ginger → eases bloating and gas
• Parsley/mint → supports lymphatic flow
• Chlorophyll → helps detox toxins and curb cravings

🎄 Perfect for Christmas & party season when indulgence, stress and late nights slow digestion.

Need more than a quick fix?
I help clients de-bloat and reset the gut for good through personalised nutrition, gut testing, targeted supplements and lymphatic massage.

Facial swelling and overall bloating often reflect what’s happening in your gut, lymphatic system, hormones — and cortisol levels.

When stress hormones stay elevated, the body holds onto fluid, slows digestion, and increases inflammation. This can show up as facial fullness, under-eye swelling, abdominal bloating, and a heavy, inflamed feeling. Supporting the body from the inside out helps restore balance and reduce visible swelling.

Support & treatment options:
• 🥒 Reduce fluid retention: potassium-rich foods (cucumber, leafy greens), adequate hydration
• 🌿 Support digestion: ginger, peppermint, fennel, lightly cooked vegetables
• 💊 Key supplements: magnesium glycinate, vitamin B6, omega-3s, quercetin (histamine support)
• 🧠 Lower cortisol: regular meals, deep breathing, gentle movement, adequate sleep
• 💆‍♀️ Improve lymph flow: gentle lymphatic massage, walking, rebounding
• 🍵 Daily support: green tea or dandelion tea, especially in the morning

Bloated, heavy, constipated or feeling sluggish after rich food, alcohol or a long week?
One simple nightly ritual can gently support your gut, lymphatic system and detox pathways castor oil to the belly button.

Belly Button Castor Oil: How & Why It Works!

Applying castor oil to the belly button (navel) is a traditional practice used to support digestion, lymphatic flow and hormonal balance.
This area connects to deep abdominal tissues and helps calm the nervous system — allowing your body to shift into rest-and-digest mode.

How to Use It at Night

• Use organic, cold-pressed castor oil
• Apply 3–5 drops into the belly button
• Massage clockwise for 1–2 minutes
• Optional: add warmth with a heat pack
• Leave on overnight

Especially Helpful After:

• Alcohol or festive eating
• Fatty or heavy meals
• PMS, period pain or hormonal bloating
• Travel, stress or poor digestion

Additional tip- Castor oil supports detox , while my aromatherapy lymphatic massage moves waste out.
Together they help reduce bloating, improve bowel regularity, support liver detox and prevent toxins from recirculating.

Festive food, drinks and stress can make IBS, bloating and cramps flare fast — but a few simple supports can make all the difference.

1️⃣ Use a gut powder before eating or drinking
Choose blends with slippery elm, aloe vera, glutamine or marshmallow root.
These coat and soothe the gut lining, reduce irritation, and help prevent bloating before it starts.

2️⃣ Find the real cause with microbiome testing
Underlying issues like SIBO, parasites, candida, dysbiosis or low enzymes often drive IBS.
Also avoid common food intolerances that trigger flares, including:
• Gluten
• Dairy
• High-FODMAP foods
• Onion & garlic
• Eggs
• Soy
• Alcohol & preservatives

3️⃣ Regular lymphatic massage
Helps reduce abdominal congestion, move trapped gas, improve motility, calm inflammation and support detox pathways — perfect during the festive season.

Your gut can feel supported, calm and comfortable this Christmas. 🎄✨

Seed oils are highly processed and easily oxidised, creating inflammation in both kids and adults. Over time they can impact the gut, skin, hormones, metabolism, and even heart health — often without you realising they’re playing a role.

Why They Cause Problems

• Inflammation: Can trigger eczema, acne, joint pain, headaches & sluggish digestion.
• Heart & metabolic stress: Oxidised fats affect cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar balance.
• Gut irritation: Weakens the gut lining → intolerances, bloating, immune imbalance & skin flareups.
• Kids: Can worsen eczema, asthma, allergies, tummy issues & behavioural changes linked to blood sugar.
• Hormones & energy: Affects mitochondrial function → fatigue, weight changes, mood & hormone imbalance.

How Seeing Me Helps

Supporting your detox pathways — liver, lymphatic system & gut — helps your body clear the inflammatory by-products from seed oils.
Through herbs, antioxidants, gut repair, and aromatherapy lymphatic massage, I help reduce inflammation, support liver function, improve digestion, and rebalance the whole system.

Struggling with skin, hormones, or kids’ allergies? Your gut could be the missing link.

Leaky gut happens when the gut lining becomes irritated and starts “leaking,” letting toxins and food particles into the bloodstream. This triggers inflammation that affects your skin, hormones, digestion, and even children’s immunity and allergies.

How It Affects Health

Gut
• Bloating or gas
• Food intolerances
• Constipation/diarrhoea

Skin
• Acne, eczema, rosacea
• Rashes & hives
• Kids: eczema, itchy skin, allergies

Hormones
• PMS
• Perimenopause symptoms
• Thyroid imbalance & tiredness
• High cortisol & fatigue

Kids
• Tummy aches
• Food sensitivities
• Behaviour changes
• Skin allergies

Simple Natural Ways to Heal
• Remove food triggers
• Increase fibre , real whole foods
• Support the gut lining (glutamine*, zinc, collagen, aloe)
• Rebuild microbiome (probiotics + prebiotics)
• Support detox pathways
• Reduce stress
• Gentle movement & lymphatic massage.

The Goal After 40

It’s not about dieting.
It’s about nourishing your body so you move through perimenopause and menopause feeling strong, supported, and resilient.

Women who prioritise wellness after 40 often experience:

✨ Better energy
✨ Less bloating
✨ Easier weight management
✨ Stronger bones & muscles
✨ Better mood & sleep
✨ Smoother hormonal transition
✨ Improved digestion & fewer intolerances
✨ Healthier skin, hair & collagen support

Simple Health Tips for Women 40+

✔️ Prioritise whole foods over processed foods
✔️ Aim for 30g of protein per meal
✔️ Increase fibre to 30g/day (chia, flax, psyllium, greens)
✔️ Move your body daily — steps, Pilates, strength training
✔️ Reduce alcohol & sugar to support hormones
✔️ Add gentle detox support — lemon water, dandelion tea
✔️ Book regular lymphatic massage to reduce fluid retention, support detox pathways & help bloating
✔️ Include meditation or slow breathing to regulate cortisol & support nervous system balance
✔️ Use targeted herbal support (adaptogens, liver herbs, gut herbs) to help with energy, stress, digestion & hormonal symptoms
✔️ Focus on sleep quality (routine, magnesium, screen-free evenings)

✔️ Swap seed oils for olive oil, avocado oil, grass-fed butter.
