This evening I treated myself to a salt bath cleanse in line with the full moon and I can tell you I feel sooo much lighter! If you’ve never tried a salt bath cleanse this is your sign to do so! 🥰

Salt Baths 🛁

I love a salt bath it cleanses the chakra’s and rids negative energy that has been accumulated in the previous days!

You can add essential oil, flower petals and crystals and make your bath time a relaxing oasis that will clear your mind and make you feel so much lighter!
You can really tailor your bath to suit your current mood by adding certain oils, flowers and crystals.
For example -

A self love bath you could use rose quartz, rose petals and chamomile essential oil.
De stress with a combination of lavender oil, fresh lavender and amethyst.
I like to light candles, incense and have soothing soft music to relax me further!

You will want to use a good amount of a natural salt (not table salt that could be full of nasties!) and submerge your body, cleansing all your chakras and soak for at least 20 minutes.

Make sure to rinse off after your bath and imagine all the negativity running away down the plug hole!

Note - not all crystals like water so check if your crystals are suitable for use first - I like to use tumble stones that are smooth so they don’t scratch the baths surface.

Enjoy & let me know your favourite salt bath combination!

Castor oil liver packs for detox and liver support!

Castor oil liver packs are often used as a natural remedy to support liver health and improve detoxification. The packs are made by soaking a cloth in castor oil and then placing it on the abdomen, over the liver area, often with a heating pad on top. Here are some potential benefits:

Supports Liver Detoxification: Castor oil is believed to help stimulate the liver, encouraging it to eliminate toxins from the body more effectively.

Reduces Inflammation: Castor oil contains ricinoleic acid, which has anti-inflammatory properties. It may help reduce inflammation in the liver and surrounding tissues.

Improves Circulation: The heat from the pack combined with the properties of castor oil may enhance blood flow to the liver, promoting healing and improving overall liver function.

Relieves Constipation: Some people use castor oil liver packs as a way to alleviate constipation since castor oil itself has a mild laxative effect.

Pain Relief: The combination of castor oil and heat may help soothe abdominal pain, bloating, or discomfort associated with liver or digestive issues.

Supports Immune Function: Castor oil has immune-boosting properties, which might help in promoting overall health and well-being, especially when the liver is supported in its detox processes.

Note - not to be used if pregnant or on young children.

To the women who give their all and ask for nothing in return......

To the women whose bodies have changed to carry the next generation......

To the women who have to work twice as hard in the workplace to be seen.......

To the women who are made to feel they need to look a certain way to be accepted......

To the women who create homes & raise families, working 24/7 with no respite and are classed as not working........

To the women who silently wipe their own tears wondering how they will get through another day of trying to juggle working, keeping a happy home and raising their families.....

To the women fighting for equality for our daughters, grand daughters and generations of women to come .......

I see you, I am you and you are enough.
Beautiful, Compassionate, Loving, Wise, Loyal & Worthy.

Happy International Women's Day xx

I had a fantastic time at a wellness event last week where I got to share about my journey with mould toxicity and the challenges I’ve had to overcome in the last few years.
Although I’m terrified of public speaking I was determined to tell my story in the hopes it may educate even just one person that may not know about the devastating effects mould can have on our health and help them to recovery too.

For all my fellow crunchy mums 🫶🏻

Filled with surprises like movie nights, bowling, gingerbread house making, low tox treats and games for the whole family!

The little bags are from IKEA and the pegs I grabbed Flying Tiger Copenhagen! 🫶🏻🎄

🌿 How to support a healthy gut

Supporting a healthy gut is essential for overall well-being, as the gut plays a vital role in digestion, immunity, and even mood regulation.
Here are a few ways to support your gut -

1. Eat a Diverse Range of Foods
Variety is important because different foods promote the growth of different types of beneficial bacteria. Include a mix of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes in your diet.
High-fiber foods (e.g., beans, lentils, oats, whole grains, and vegetables) are especially important as they nourish beneficial gut bacteria.

2. Incorporate ProbioticsProbiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that provide health benefits when consumed. Foods rich in probiotics include: Yogurt (with live and active cultures) Kefir (fermented dairy) and Sauerkraut

3. Consume Prebiotics
Prebiotics are non-digestible fibers that act as food for beneficial gut bacteria.
Foods high in prebiotics include: Bananas, Garlic, Onions, Asparagus and Leeks

4. Stay Hydrated
Drinking plenty of water. Aim for around 8 cups (2 liters) of water a day.

5. Limit Processed Foods and Sugar
Highly processed foods, particularly those high in sugar and artificial additives, can disrupt the balance of gut bacteria, promoting harmful bacteria and yeast growth.

6. Reduce Stress
Chronic stress can negatively impact your gut health by disrupting the gut-brain connection.
Engage in stress-relieving activities such as Yoga, Meditation, Deep breathing exercises, Regular exercise and Adequate sleep

7. Get Enough Sleep
Sleep is essential for overall health, including gut health. Aim for 7–9 hours of quality sleep per night to allow the body and gut to repair and rejuvenate.

8. Exercise RegularlyRegular physical activity is beneficial for gut health as it promotes the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.

9. Incorporate Fermented FoodsFermented foods (like those listed above) are rich in beneficial bacteria and can improve gut health by increasing the diversity of your microbiome.

10. Consider Gut-Health Supplements
Probiotics in supplement form may help if your gut health is out of balance - DM me for my fave probiotics!

By adopting a balanced and gut-friendly lifestyle, you can promote the health of your gut microbiome, which in turn supports digestion, immunity, and overall health.

What is Pranic Healing?

Pranic Healing combines ancient energy techniques with modern science.

In Western Medical Science very little is taught of “Prana”, the Sanskrit word for Life Force energy, or Chi (Chinese) and Ki (Japanese), and how it effects the body.

Medical tests often are unable to find the origin of the problem and are labelled as “stress related” or psychosomatic. Medications may soothe the symptoms, but the original problems persist. These unexplained causes include migraines, back and shoulder pain, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, neck pain, asthma, heart conditions and many more.

As we lead such busy, fast paced lives with work, financial and family commitments, we generate a tremendous amount of emotions such as stress, fear, anger and anxiety. How we react to these situations has the potential to cause a stress reaction in the body which reduces energy levels and weakens the immune system. A physical or mental health condition can then arise, each with a unique energy pattern.

When energy and its effect on the body is understood, one can systematically remove the root cause of the problem effectively. This is done by applying techniques to treat each specific energy pattern of a condition, assisting the body to heal itself faster. For some the outcomes may even seem miraculous.

Pranic Healing is quickly becoming one of the fastest growing complementary therapies world wide, now established in 126 countries. It is an incredible technological breakthrough in the science of healing. Doctors, nurses, carers, psychologists and complementary therapists are incorporating the techniques of Pranic Healing alongside their conventional medical approaches with amazing results.

Business professionals and families too are turning to the benefits of Pranic Healing to treat emotional conditions as well as injuries from sport and accidents, infections, allergies, chronic pain and long term conditions like diabetes, asthma, strokes and cancer. People of all ages are now enhancing their lives, significantly improving health and bringing calm and clarity into everyday life.
