Some of you see his photos pop up. Some of you know him personally. Some of you have spotted us together round the neighbourhood. But there is a lot many of you don't know about this excellent human.
Paul is my partner and he is also a coach, mentor and confidante to people navigating the hard parts of life and work.

So this is a little shot out for my beloved.

"He is a thinking partner and sounding board.. someone who helps you name your roadblocks and find real ways through them."

Paul works with people to release what no longer serves them... the negative thinking, the limited perspectives, the fear-based reactions that get in the way of meeting your life and business needs. He creates a safe, non-judgmental space to be honest about where you are stuck, and then brings outside perspective, fresh questions and a genuine belief in your capacity to figure it out.

He completed training with Aletheia Coaching which adds another dimension to his practice for anyone wanting to go deeper into their own innate resourcefulness with a great focus on Parts Work.

Whether you are navigating the commercial world, working on personal growth, or simply need a trusted thinking partner... Paul shows up with steadiness, accountability and an extensive network across industries to support your goals.

He works online and in person.

My Naturopathic Life, Lately

My previous post on stringing flowers together with a needle and thread, a nod to Greek Easter festivities. The start of my 21 Day Autumn Cleanse, and now this morning, before I sit down to writing.

I needed some heart and mind space amongst flowers, wetlands, forests of trees, and birdlife, even though woven through the sounds of nature are the sounds of industry: construction, road trucks, cars, aeroplanes above.

So, to soften the noise and the confusion, I put on the Reskilience podcast by my friend , interviewing Jem Bendell on collapse, climate, and how to live a nurtured and nurturing life at the eleventh hour.

The opening story is sublime, too…about Hector and Octavia, a rooster and hen.

I’ll leave it there… enjoy.

A lunch hour well spent. I slipped into St Sophia’s Greek Orthodox Church on Bourke Street, Surry Hills this Good Friday to light a candle, and found myself in the middle of something beautiful.
A small group of devoted hands were decorating the Kouvouklion with flowers, the ornate funeral bier that holds the Epitaphios, the cloth icon of Christ, during tonight’s Good Friday procession. White roses, white orchids, white amaranth, white daisies and soft pink hydrangeas, laid with such care.
I stayed. I threaded white orchids into the arrangement alongside them.
On Good Friday evening, the Kouvouklion with the Epitaphios resting on top, surrounded by all those flowers is lifted and carried in procession through the streets, representing the funeral of Christ. The congregation follows behind with candles, and the priest chants the funeral hymns. One of the most moving rituals I know.
If you find yourself on Bourke Street, Surry Hills tonight, you will witness this beauty spill out into the streets. 🕯️

War impacts all of us but nothing compares to those in its direct path. I want to name that first, clearly.
And then I want to talk about what I’m seeing in my clinic: people who are stressed, exhausted, and quietly unravelling, not because something is wrong with them, but because something is wrong out there, and they’re feeling it.
You’re not overreacting. You’re not too sensitive. You are a human being with an intact nervous system responding to genuine suffering in the world.
Being disturbed by what is disturbing is not a disorder. It’s your humanity.

EP 12: When You Can’t Sleep

“I’m exhausted, but I can’t sleep” is one of the most common sentences I hear. Modern life pulls us away from the conditions our biology needs to rest.

Sleep struggles are rarely caused by one thing. They’re a layering of nervous system activation, hormones, emotions, rhythm, light exposure, stress, and long-held survival patterns.

Learn why so many of us live in constant activation and what it takes to unwind it.

My Naturopathic Life, Lately

Tomorrow we begin our 21 Day Autumn Cleanse. We start with Prep Week, followed by 21 days of self-care tutorials and healthy habits, and then Transition Week.

With Greek Easter approaching next week, the timing feels generous. Prep Week allows space, and I will honour one evening of celebration after midnight mass, sharing in the tradition, the table, and the sweetness of it all.

Some musings from my local park walks, my parents’ garden, my mum’s Greek Easter biscuits, and an autumn recipe of slow, tomato-rich vegetables.

I hope you can join us in this cleanse. Tomorrow is the final day to come in. Link in bio!

To those celebrating Easter today and to those who are suffering. Directly. Indirectly. Quietly. Visibly.
You are witnessed.

To witness is an act of devotion, not power, not authority just the quiet, radical choice to say: I see you, I am here, I will not look away.
Mary Magdalene, the first witness of the resurrection, understood this. In a world that did not count women as valid witnesses, she became the witness, moving, speaking, staying when others fled, showing up with myrrh and bare hands to tend to what the world had discarded and declared finished.
And because of that, they tried to erase her. Called her a sinner, buried her voice under centuries of distortion, rewrote her out of her own story.
It didn't hold.
Because witnessing cannot be undone. Once someone has been truly seen, something shifts - in them, in us, in the space between us that we sometimes forget is sacred.

Her message was never for the powerful. It was for the overlooked and the grieving, the silenced and the displaced, for women and children carrying the weight of worlds not of their making, for the earth itself, the animals, the plants, the living systems we belong to and are responsible for, for every living thing that has been exploited, diminished, or made invisible.
Then, as now.

This is not an easy day for many, The world is heavy and the dissonance is real.

Truth and love do not belong to institutions. They live within us, they have always lived within us, and no amount of distortion or erasure or fear has ever managed to put that out.
The resurrection is not only about rising. It is about remembering - what cannot be taken, what remains, what has always remained, even now.

Sleep, or the lack of it, is an all-too-common struggle that affects countless individuals. But a body that can't sleep, even when it’s exhausted, is trying to tell us something.

In this episode, we pull back the blanket on sleep, looking at:
Why insomnia isn't one-dimensional, but a multi-layered issue
How our modern lifestyle often conflicts with our biological sleep needs
Why awareness and acceptance of your body's signals are the first steps toward restful sleep.

Check out my latest Substack — The Food Audit on…

The Not-So-Healthy & Healthier Kinds & Brands of Lactose-Free and Dairy-Free Cheese

Read on for a deep dive.

The Food Audit is an independently curated guide, not sponsored or influenced by any brand. It highlights some of the best quality whole food products available, based on ingredient integrity and nutritional value.

These are not exhaustive lists, just a starting point and I will continue to update them each month.

This guide is not intended to shame or criticise any brand, which is why I have chosen to omit the names of less healthy products. Instead, I focus on listing their ingredients to help you become a more informed and discerning shopper.

My intention is to celebrate and promote brands that are committed to offering truly nourishing, better-quality food products, most of which are readily available in Australia.
