Hot flushes. Mood swings. Guilt. Let’s talk about the one no one names.

Sound familiar?

The hot flushes.
The outbursts you didn’t mean.
The chocolate you swore you wouldn’t eat.
The exhaustion you can’t explain.
The shame spiral that follows.

This season of life peri/menopause can make you feel like your body is betraying you.
But what if it’s not betrayal?
What if it’s a signal… that your body needs more compassion, not control?

You don’t have to love the symptom.
But you can love the woman moving through it.

And when you do, your body feels it.
Physiologically. Emotionally. Energetically.

That’s where healing begins.
Not when the symptoms stop.
But when the self-blame does.

💭 So here’s your invitation:
Next time the shame voice shows up… pause.
Breathe.
Ask yourself —
“What if I allowed this? What if I wrapped my arms around the woman I usually judge?”

Because the most powerful healing often starts,
not with doing more.
But by choosing to be kinder to yourself and loving yourself on a deeper level.

🌊 Sailing Through Perimenopause
You’re staring at the screen again, the email won’t land, your mind drifts, and words slip through like water through your fingers.

You used to juggle ten things before breakfast.
Now you can’t remember where you left your keys… or your phone… or the name of your child’s friend you’ve known for years.

Your husband means well, but every word he says feels wrong.
He’s walking on eggshells; you’re walking on air, light-headed, restless, ready to snap.

And then the doctor says, “Your blood tests look normal.”
You leave with a polite smile… and a body that still doesn’t feel like yours.

Here’s the truth:
Perimenopause isn’t just hormones “misbehaving.”
It’s your body trying to redistribute energy, minerals, and attention like a ship adjusting its sails in new winds.

Stress, overwork, and emotional load steal the very nutrients (magnesium, zinc, B vitamins) your hormones need to stay steady.
That’s why the brain fog, the forgetfulness, the tears that come from nowhere.

Your body isn’t breaking, it's doing the best it can.
It just needs space, safety, and a little guidance to find its rhythm again.

✨ That’s where kinesiology helps.
It listens to your body — the way labs can’t — and helps it reset from the inside out.

No guessing. No forcing.

Just balance, restored.

My Little Secret for Easier Digestion & Heartburn ☕💛

I’ve been drinking roasted dandelion root “coffee” every day, sometimes even twice a day, and I absolutely love it.

It smells amazing and has a unique taste—slightly sweet at first with a gentle, earthy aftertaste. Not bitter, just rich and grounding.

I usually drink mine plain because I really enjoy the flavor as it is. But you can add a bit of milk or even a touch of honey or maple syrup if you'd like it sweeter.

Initially, my husband didn’t enjoy it at all. He only tried it because he was tired of that uncomfortable burning feeling after spicy foods or coffee. I told him it might help ease that heartburn, especially after meals or at night. He trusted me and gave it a shot.

Over time, he admitted it helped—a lot. He no longer needs to reach for antacids, and although it’s still not his favorite drink, he actually enjoys having it now.

How I Make It:
- 1 teaspoon roasted dandelion root (store-bought or homemade)
- About half a cup of water per serving
- Optional: a splash of milk or milk alternative
- Optional: a bit of honey or maple syrup
Bring the water to a gentle boil, add the roasted dandelion root, and let it simmer or steep for about 10 minutes. Strain it, pour into your mug, and enjoy.

Why I Love It:
Dandelion root naturally contains inulin, a prebiotic fiber that supports healthy gut bacteria and digestion. It’s traditionally been used to support bile flow, which helps with fat digestion and overall digestive comfort.

It’s also caffeine-free, making it a gentle alternative for anyone whose stomach reacts to regular coffee.

This little ritual has become part of my day—a simple, natural, and comforting routine. I never thought something as humble as dandelion root could make such a difference for our digestion, but it truly has.

🌿 When “I’m fine” starts to crack…

You wake up already tired.
Your mind races before your feet hit the floor.
You power through the day, work, family, messages, and expectations all on autopilot.

You don’t call it stress. You just put up with it.
The emotional load you carry without question.
The subtle ways your boundaries bend.
You call it life.
deadlines, people-pleasing, and
But your body knows better.
That quiet overload of the deadlines, the people-pleasing, the constant pressure doesn’t just fade.
It seeps in… drip by drip… into your nervous system.
And your body keeps the score.

That slow drip of stress spends minerals like currency,
and those minerals are the building blocks of your hormones.

So when perimenopause or menopause arrives and hormones are already shifting, this hidden stress doesn’t just wear you down.
It accelerates everything.

Until one day, the smallest thing tips you.
Tears for no reason.
Snapping at people you love.
Overeating.
Anxiety that flares out of nowhere.
Sleepless nights.
Foggy mornings.

You’re not broken. You’re overloaded.
Stress quietly drains your reserves of magnesium, zinc, and B vitamins, the nutrients that keep your hormones steady and your mood grounded.

✨ Kinesiology helps you reset that system gently, safely, through your body’s own signals.
No guessing. No pushing. Just listening and rebalancing from the inside out.

If you’re in Croydon, Wimbledon, Epsom, Sutton, or South London, I offer free consultations to help you understand what your body’s been trying to say before the whispers become shouts.

Love your food… hate your heartburn?

You finally sit down to eat.
And minutes later, it’s back the burning, the tightness, that discomfort that takes all the joy out of the meal.

Yes, heartburn can be triggered by foods like coffee, fat, or sugar, or by eating too fast.
But often, it’s not just the food.

👉 As we get older, our natural digestive enzymes decrease.
👉 When we’re stressed, we burn through minerals, and minerals are essential for digestion.
👉 And when we’re rushing, eating emotionally, or distracted… we’re not giving the body a chance to do what it’s built to do.

There are things we can do that creare simple, natural shifts that support digestion at the root:

✅ Eat a few leaves of rocket before your meal
✅ Sip lemon water or dandelion coffee beforehand
✅ Slow down. Chew. Be present. Let your body catch up.
✅ Reduce caffeine and heavy fats if you’re already feeling depleted
✅ Support your mineral levels — especially if you’re often tired, bloated, or craving salty foods

You don’t always need to reach for medication.
Sometimes your body may be just overwhelmed.
And once we understand why, the way forward gets much clearer.

⚠️ Still feeling off, even though you’re doing everything right?

You’re eating the right foods.
Taking the supplements.
Managing stress — or trying to.

But the bloating is still there.
You wake up tired.
Snappy at work. Foggy at home.
And deep down, you know: this isn’t just hormonal. Or just emotional. It’s all of it.

Here’s the truth most people miss:

➡️ Your body knows what’s wrong.
➡️ It’s been trying to tell you — through symptoms.
➡️ And kinesiology helps you finally listen.

Here’s how it works (and why it changes everything):
1️⃣ We don’t guess — we muscle test. Your body tells us what it needs.
2️⃣ We don’t chase symptoms — we find the root priority.
3️⃣ We work with your body’s timing, not against it.
4️⃣ Nutritional gaps. Emotional overload. Energy blocks. Hidden toxicity — we check it all.
5️⃣ You don’t need to explain everything — your body already knows.
6️⃣ One shift often creates a domino effect of calm, clarity, and relief.

But here’s the part no one wants to admit:
👉 The longer you ignore the whispers, the louder the body shouts.
👉 The longer you wait, the harder it becomes to untangle.
👉 What feels “mild” now could become the thing that unravels you later.

📍I offer free consultations in Croydon, Wimbledon, Epsom & South London.
But I only take on a limited number of new clients each month.

💌 Message me if you’re done guessing.
Done pushing.
And ready to actually feel well again.

😝 The Yucky Feeling

One of my sessions today was all about self-worth.
My client came in feeling drained and “yucky” after another week of bitching and complaining at work.
She wasn’t even the one gossiping, she was just sitting in that energy all week, which made her body tighten and her breath shallow.

What we uncovered was this: it wasn’t really about them.
It was about her seeking quiet validation from her colleagues, her husband, even her children and friends.

When we keep looking for approval outside ourselves, our energy scatters. We end up feeling smaller, more fragile, less sure than before.
Yes, it’s beautiful to feel loved and appreciated by others. But when that love or recognition doesn’t come, things start to twist inside.

Anxiety creeps in.
That whisper of “not enough” gets louder.
We start comparing ourselves to our siblings, friends, neighbours, or colleagues.

Can you see how easily things get out of hand, how the snowball starts rolling and gathering speed?

💭 What if I told you that you don’t need validation from your partner, colleagues, or anyone else… because you are already enough?

Think of toddlers who are full of joy, full of themselves, before the world teaches them to shrink, to earn, to perform. That fullness is still in you.

In sessions combining Kinesiology and Bio Energetic Synchronization Technique, we gently release those old imprints and integrate the energy that’s been trapped — so your body can begin to heal and your worth can finally feel like yours again.

✨ Kinesiology helps you return to your own worth — gently, safely, deeply.
Don’t wait until the snowball becomes an avalanche.

📍The Day I Almost Quit
Not long ago, I couldn’t bring myself to respond to client messages.

I’d read them and feel… nothing.
No spark. No interest. No energy to care.

I thought maybe I’d lost my passion.
Maybe I wasn’t meant to do this work anymore.
And that terrified me.

But then I found out my testosterone was low.
My hormones were out of balance — and so was I.

As I started rebalancing my body, something shifted.
When I returned to my sessions and let kinesiology and B.E.S.T. flow together — moment to moment — the magic came back.
Not as a performance. But as a dialogue between me, the client, and their body.

And that’s when I remembered:
There’s always a reason. For the exhaustion. The disconnection. The numbness.

There’s also always a way back.

Maybe it’s a session with me.
Maybe it’s something else entirely.

But there is something out there that’s right for you.
So don’t give up.
Stay open. Let your heart stay curious.

Healing rarely shows up how we expect.
But it always shows up when we’re willing to listen.

When Old Wounds Show Up in New Ways
Sometimes, it’s not the current situation that’s causing the pain —
It’s something much older.
Much deeper.
Still unresolved.

You might feel bloated. Or constipated.
You might have heartburn that won’t go away, no matter what you eat.
You might feel stuck, heavy, emotional, or sensitive in ways that feel “out of proportion” to what’s happening now.

But what if it isn’t about now?

What if the stress you’re feeling at work…
the sense of injustice, or being unseen, or not chosen…
isn’t new pain —
but a repeating pattern?

Something that started in childhood:
Being overlooked.
Struggling silently.
Watching a sibling get hurt and feeling powerless.
Sitting in a classroom where no one noticed how hard it was just to be there.

Our bodies store what our minds try to move past.
And even if we don’t consciously remember, the nervous system does.

Kinesiology helps you find those root patterns — gently, layer by layer.
Not to relive the pain, but to release it.
So the body can finally let go of the tension it’s been carrying for decades.

✨ And yes — it’s possible.
To feel lighter. To feel free. To respond differently.
Because healing doesn’t start by changing your circumstances.
It starts by going to the source.

If something in you knows there’s more beneath the surface…
I’d love to help you explore it.

📩 Message me to book a session — or just to ask a question.
Your body already knows the way. Let’s listen, together.

With love,

Lida

18/07/2025

Marta was 55 when she told me: “I don’t know why I still feel broken. I got out. I built a life. But something in me never fully landed.”
Her father was an alcoholic.
She remembers being seven, asking her mother why there was never enough food.

The silence.

The shame in the village when people called them “that family.”

As a teenager, Marta fought her own battle with alcohol.
She got free. She got strong. She raised a family.

But every time she got overwhelmed at work — every deadline, every stretch of stress — something inside her snapped back.

She couldn’t trust herself.

And because of that… she couldn’t trust her husband.
Even though he hadn’t done anything wrong.

When Marta came to me, her body was holding decades of unspoken tension.

After just one kinesiology session, she said:
“I’ve never felt this calm. It’s like something dropped out of my body. Like I came home to myself.”

We didn’t just talk about the past — we released it.

And week by week, Marta felt different:
→ Clearer at work.
→ Softer with her husband.
→ More present with herself.
→ Grounded — for the first time in years.

She told me, “This was different than anything I’ve tried. It was unique in every way.”

💬 If you grew up around alcohol… and you’ve been carrying more than you realise...

You're not alone.

And your body might be ready to let go — gently, safely, in its own time.

1:1 healing session for £20 — filmed silently to help others see what’s possible.
I’m offering a few deeply discounted 1:1 kinesiology sessions for just £20 (usually £75) in exchange for filming silent, respectful clips of the session. No sound. No personal details. Just the quiet language of the body being heard.

I’ll use these visuals to gently show others how this work looks and feels, and how everything, from digestion to old emotions, is connected through the body’s wisdom.

If you’re open to receiving support and helping others see what’s possible, I’d love to offer you a spot.

She’s always been strong.

Raised two kids on her own. Held it together through a dramatic divorce.

But now, at 62, something’s changed.

She told me, “I feel like a rabbit in headlights. My body’s on edge all the time.”

The symptoms? Bloating. Low energy. No grounding.

But beneath that, a nervous system that’s quietly overwhelmed after years of holding it all.

Kinesiology helps us listen to what the body has stored, not just treat the symptoms.

📍If you're in Croydon, Wimbledon, Epsom, or Surrey, I offer a free consultation.
