Oliver Nino - The Spiritual Activator, Geo Love Certified Energy Healer 2024. After years of struggling with low energy/chronic fatigue, health conditions including relapsing glandular fever, irritable bowel syndrome, autoimmune hypothyroid issues, relationships that drained me, sleep deprivation of two children, parasites, mold exposure and losing "Me" completely, I decided that there had to be more to life. This is the ultimate freedom...it allows you to be ALL OF YOU! The Mum/Dad/Partner/Grandparent/daughter/sibling/friend you want to be. The BEING you want to be on all levels of you for yourself and for all the things you are to the special ones in your life. I am a Wellness Warrior! We need to bring the "Health" back to "Health and Fitness". I've spent years studying and implementing some amazing techniques which are all about wellness. Nourishing, fun, diverse, functional 3D loaded movement coaching that leaves you feeling taller, lighter, leaner and more open in your body (you'll still sweat)! It's all about spreading the load, whole body involvement, and awareness of the fascial lines (see Thomas Myers Anatomy Trains book). We use some different equipment for these purposes, ViPR's, sandbells, powerplate as well as bodyweight only for mobility and Animal Flow practices. Movement that is tailored specifically to you and how you present on a given day (are you hydrated, well-nourished, have you slept well, are you under particularly stressful/emotional conditions?). The Next Level Appraisal system allows us to identify areas of restriction in the body, and how these are linked to issues, everything is connected to everything as my Mentor JP, John Polley says! We can reduce/eliminate pain and get the whole body working together synergistically and have you feeling and moving so much better within the space of an hour! You'll be given a few pieces of homework (movement, mobilisers, lymphatics, vagus nerve toning exercises, breath work, self myofascial release, prescription to get some outside time in nature....whatever is in your wellness interests). This puts the healing power in your hands. We can re-appraise at any time to further recalibrate the body as it starts to adapt. Myofascial release. Understanding the fascial system allows effective, immediately felt and lasting relief in tight/glued areas of the body. You can also learn how to effect such changes for yourself. Lymphatic techniques to assist proper movement in this system of the body to remove toxins safely and effectively from the body. With your body's detoxing system functioning optimally, you can truly start to heal. Lose weight, improve your sleep, increase your energy levels, get some relief from digestive disorders, BOOST YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM...and so much more! Energy Medicine to get static, toxic energies shifting so that you feel more vibrant. We balance the energy body systems for stable hormones, better sleep, improved digestion, more clarity/focus with thinking and to clear thoughts and emotions that may feel overwhelming. There is an incredibly intimate overlap between the fascial meridians of the body and the energy meridians of the body. Just imagine being able to harness the power of these systems together. Maximize your energy, thrive in your world! Energy Healing to shift blocks that we have encountered in our life events, environment, gestationally and generationally. The fastest way forward is to clear the things that aren't really you, to free you from patterns that are no longer serving you, to align with your true self and to elevate your vibration so that you can become magnetic for the all the things you desire. A safe and open space to explore and clear whatever is no longer serving you.

LOSE WEIGHT WITHOUT “DOING”

ANYTHING PHYSICAL….. ??

ENERGY AND EMOTION !! 💥 💥 💥 💥

Check out this story from Phillippa, a talented practitioner friend of mine who shares her experience (including some work with myself).

https://www.facebook.com/share/1d1cEEadsp/?mibextid=wwXIfr

When What You Carry Weighs You Down
I'm going to tell you the story about a recent experience, an epiphany, a moment that blew my mind

I have always believed that our bodies are incredible
Its entire job is to keep you alive. At all costs.
Every compensative movement, every bodily 'dis-function', every cough or sneeze, every frozen shoulder .... is a form of keeping you protected - from something or another.

So it is with weight gain or loss - our body is keeping us alive in ways that we might not ever realise.

Our body is saving us daily from toxic substances (including hormones), or from our own toxic thoughts, or even our own grief

And that's where my story lies...

Since I turned 50 and went into menopause I have been struggling (as women do) with some extra weight sitting around my middle. More so in the past 6-12 months

As per my usual style I have dived into as many pathways as I could to discover what was behind my shift.
Many would say "Menopause is the obvious contributor" and move on. They haven't met me yet!!

So.... I moved to a higher protein intake, more weights work, lymphatic brushing, supplements, HRT, prioritising time for me ....
NOTHING shifted the needle
Not one iota
In fact, it seemed to worsen

In the past few weeks a couple of "external" things have shifted in my life
Changes in environment
Things seemingly out of my control

The day following one such change - I woke up and noticed my usual morning belly was different. A change in shape.
I had done absolutely nothing physically differently EXCEPT there had been a shift in my psyche
I realised what I had been holding on to regarding that situation
The situation changed. My psyche shifted. Weight shifted.

The other day I met a friend for a bodywork session
We unpacked all the layers that have been overlapping lately
She reflected back all the things. Cutting through the noise and bringing clarity in her true style

We talked about grief and how it shows up in the body
Congestion, stuck-ness, pain, stiff joints, lung issues, constipation, weight gain or loss, heart issues
These are the layers of grief that come from a normal functioning life - where you grieve:
the things that you no longer have
the things that will never be
for people who have been significant in your life, and are no longer here
the person you used to be... and so much more
When you throw in some grief that eats you to the bone and erodes part of you the body will do what it can to protect you from your own grief, your own self.

After my session with Bec I got up and needed to hoist up my pants for the rest of the day. More of the weight of the world had been let go of from my body!

THIS is why working with your nervous system is key for any health issue
Looking beyond the symptoms and considering the whole of your life is also key

In my practice I had a person come and see me for their physical symptoms
We ended up writing a timeline of their life on a very large whiteboard
Mapping out all of the significant life events
We even mapped out what was going on in their parent's lives before they were born

Their eyes opened very wide as they said "See, Im not as crazy as everyone has said I am" Needless to say there were tears of relief
A weight lifted off them that day
They practically skipped out of my room
When I checked in a week later, they were still buzzing from their realisations
Their physical symptoms had reduced by half and they said their weight had reduced without doing any other things.

If your body is sending you messages that it is shielding you from pain, toxin or grief, I encourage you to find a practitioner who has the skills to look at all the aspects of health.
If you have experienced significant trauma it is even more important to find a practitioner who is gentle and understands the involvement of the nervous system

I trust you find some lightness in your life
Reach out if you want to dive a little deeper

Is a lack of ENERGY dictating how you show up in LIFE? 😞

Energy Meridians!! Part II !!

After showing you the meridians that run to the fingers in s previous post…it seemed that the others should be viewed too! 🦶 👣

🤗 Spleen meridian is associated with the emotion of overcompassion (for others and not enough for yourself, putting everyone else’s needs before your own). It allocates energy fairly and to where it is needed in the body, Often depleted with low energy, autoimmune conditions, stress and hormone imbalances/PMS. The pathway begins on the outside of the big toe.

😡 Liver meridian is associated with anger. It begins on the inside of the big toe. (bunions may be in part caused by a liver that is overburdened with stagnant/toxic energy, which pulls the toe inwards and I also believe that was in play as an adolescent when I used to get ingrown toenails…just my thoughts/experience).

😟 Stomach meridian is associated with overworry and weight issues. It ends on the second toe.

😨 Kidney meridian is associated with fear. It starts on the sole of the foot at the “wellspring of life point”.

😤 Gallbladder meridian ends on the fourth toe. It is associated with anger and territory issues. Gallbladder is involved in the ability to break down fats. I’ve seen clients (who’ve come in with other complaints) have a very curled up fourth toe and on inquiry, they have recently been experiencing digestive issues.

🫤 Bladder meridian is associated with suspicion, back pain and sciatica. It is closely tied to the nervous system. An over energised bladder meridian can have you up peeing at night (especially between 3am and 5am when it’s at its lowest energy point).

Considering how this ties in with the physical complaints you may be experiencing may give you the insights you need to understand what is underlying them.

All questions welcome 🙏 x

Anyone living with CHRONIC FATIGUE who hasn’t explored the super power of EFT tapping (emotional freedom technique), do yourself a favour and watch this video with Dr Kim D’Eramo - link in comments.

Your CELLS are listening. To your EVERY thought,

EFT is one of many techniques that I utilise when assisting people to shift emotion. It was a part of my journey out of chronic fatigue too.

Please feel free to get in contact with any queries.

💓 Are your EMPATHIC tendencies draining you?

A pattern I see often in people with CHRONIC FATIGUE….

They are incredibly compassionate.
🖐️ The helpers.
👂 The listeners.
🤗 The ones who hold space for everyone.
But rarely themselves.

💡 Energetically this often creates a dynamic where the triple warmer stress system dominates and the spleen energy system becomes depleted (this is where we see chronic fatigue and autoimmune conditions).

Your body stays in protection mode.
Constantly scanning.
Holding space.
Managing stress.
And over time… energy runs out from being misdirected.
Your body isn’t broken.
It’s giving you information.

Did you know you can be unconsciously drained by other people, or that you can learn to protect your energy too?

📰 The good news?
The body already knows how to heal ❤️‍🩹
— it simply needs the right internal and external conditions.

This is something I had to learn through 20 years of navigating chronic fatigue myself.
And it completely changed the way I approach healing today.

But here’s the thing, the truth you many not be ready to hear Addressing emotion, energy imbalances, protection and boundaries, rewriting beliefs requires some commitment from you. I’m all in and ready to guide and support you all the way through this process, but you have to be ready to make this life-changing shift…I can’t do that part for you.

Are you ready?

You can not heal from the same level of consciousness in which you became sick.
If this resonates with you, let’s have an exploratory conversation to see if this pathway could be the way forward you’ve been searching for.

Women….NO ONE TELLS YOU THIS …. but did you know that to maximise our energy, we need to live cyclically and rhythmically?

I listened to a fascinating interview a couple of years ago around the cyclical nature of the Earth/moon/sun 🌍 🌙 ☀️ and of humans (women 👩 and men 👨 ), what lessons are present in nature and how we can align for ourselves and the benefits of those in our world. (I’ve attempted to summarise, but will put the link below for anyone who is interested).

Mother Earth 🌍 has a cyclical nature, for example, four seasons. Her energy levels fluctuate in ways that are necessary for sustaining wellness and harmony.

Women have a 28 day cycle, (approximately), and one way to look at this is that we transition through this time in 7 day blocks of each season. Winter (period day 1 of cycle), Spring week (ovulation at end of this time as we are moving in to Summer), Summer and Autumn.

There is a 28 day cycle in movement of the moon and stars. The Moon, as experienced from Earth, has 4 phases.

In Winter 🥶 , in nature:
energy levels drop dramatically so a pause is taken to allow things to freeze and die, so that rebirth is possible . Purification happens. Energies are recharged for the year.

In women, concepts such as:
stay warm, stay inside, hibernate, less activity are instinctual. PHYSICAL ENERGY IS LOW AT AROUND 20% OF NORMAL or maximal potential. For example, if your phone battery is low, in red, we need to plug it in and stop using it. A self-charging mechanism in women will happen as long as we slow down and take a pause during this time. Everything else is at 20% too. Emotions, ability to make decisions, patience, love. You will want to end things, break things, allow things to pass, so decisions made during this season will be affected.

Thought 💭 : let go of the expectation to be at 100% function all the time and understand that going against your instincts will mean you may not be living optimally for you.

Suggestion 💡 : take a few minutes to look back and realise how much you have done in the last cycle, see how much you have achieved, recap, and then slow yourself and give permission to take a break.

In Spring in nature 🌷 :
flowers open, energy levels increase slowly but surely.

In women, energy goes from 20% gradually up to 100% for women during this week.
Thought 💭 where do we want to focus our energy, our intent this cycle?

In nature, in Summer 🥵 , energy levels soar. In women, summer lasts for 7 days, they are at 100% of capacity of energy levels.

Thought 💭 : Make decisions. Launch projects. Take actions.

MAKE ENERGY fluctuates between spring and summer all year round.

For Women, the week of summer is the only time we are at the same ‘energy’ as men. We function as opposites, but in a complimentary way here.

Suggestion 💡 This is the best week for big conversations. Making new agreements and decisions.,

In nature, in Autumn, all the leaves 🍁 that are ready to fall will fall.

Women slowly go from 100% down towards 20% energy levels for the upcoming winter.

This is a time for experiencing our shadow self. seeing both sides of the equation.

Thought 💭 Questions to ask now might be: What is missing, what is not working currently in your life?

SuggestIon 💡 a chart 📅 of seasons for the home. Put a stone in which season the mother female is in, this will naturally create a rhythm for the whole household and everyone will slow down a little in the week of Winter (beneficial for all). Be gentle and allow a bit more space in Autumn and in Winter. The rhythm is sustained by the pause (if there is no pause, there is no rhythm).

Even once women reach menopause, they need to keep living in cyclical way to maximise wellbeing.

It’s IMPOSSIBLE to heal CFS at the same consciousness level you got sick in….

If you arent willing to look DEEPER, you could stay stuck…

As someone who spent 20 years going through a list of diagnoses, a list of physical treatment types and protocols, who then eventually acknowledged that the healing needs to go far deeper if you are to make any significant progress, here’s some of what I’ve learned must be addressed:

😞 the unprocessed emotions;

🫩the energy blocks and energy body imbalances;

😇 the spirituality;

😢 the relationships with yourself and others who may be draining you;

🥱 having been shown a model of empathy growing up which means that you put the needs of others above your own;

😤 the identity issues of not feeling safe to show up as your authentic self or not feeling safe to speak your truth;

🎁 the inability to receive;

🧘‍♀️ the inability to truly relax (oscillating between sympathetic dominance and dorsal vagal collapse, never reaching ventral, vagal parasympathetic safety state (where rest, digest, recovery and healing actually happens);

❤️‍🩹 limiting “beliefs” about healing and how fast this is actually possible.

These are the real places we need to be ready to look. 👀

Real issues that need to be cleared, not just in CFS, but many autoimmune presentations and other conditions too.

We must clear the low vibrational emotions and energy. Switch our focus to where we want to go. Be willing to live differently. To truly see ourselves as whole and to act aligned with our authentic nature.

This can feel like a lot. But each person will have various aspects to look at and once they are ready, with someone to guide them, true healing is totally possible …
I can attest to that!! ❤️‍🩹

The body has an infinite capacity to heal!

Feel free to get in contact if you have any questions regarding this. 🙏

You don’t need 10 practitioners to heal from CFS….

When you’re exhausted, you start searching everywhere.
Functional medicine.
Hormone specialists.
Gut protocols.
Nervous system work.
Energy healing.
Each one has a piece.
None of them see the whole picture.

Retelling your story over and over.
Spending thousands with little to show for it.
Trying to combine conflicting advice while barely having energy to get through the day.
Feeling like your healing has become a full-time job.

You can keep piecing together fragments of care.
Keep chasing separate solutions.
Keep hoping the next appointment is the one that finally “cracks the code.”
And stay stuck in confusion and fatigue.

Or you can work with one guide who understands how the physical, emotional, energetic and nervous system layers of chronic fatigue interact —
and knows when to apply the right tool at the right time.
No overwhelm.
No scattered protocols.
Just clarity and integration.

This work isn’t about collecting more methods.
It’s about having the right guidance.
If you’re ready for a more integrated path to healing, let’s begin.
Feel free to get in contact to begin exploring.
