Who do you choose to be?

Wow, something in me feels very different right now - stronger, more grounded, more confident in my own abilities, fully accepting who I am and seeing more clearly who I am becoming each day.

I'm not what happened to me.

I'm what I choose to make out of these experiences, what lessons I choose to learn and embody, what people I let in and who I let go of.

I wish you to feel this empowerment, too. 🌹

Cooking for the family (including kids) seems to be a challenge?

My experience of being a mum of a 6-year old, and supporting other mums and their families shows a similar pattern time and time again - the more we enjoy the food we have on our plates, and make an effort to prepare it (ideally together!), the more our kids are open to trying new things.

Try these ideas next time:
🥄 Think of ingredients rather than specific meals
🥄 Offer a variety of ingredients that your kids (and each family member) can combine into their own meals
🥄 Involve them in the process - picking veggies from the supermarket together (look, touch, smell), peeling, grating, slicing, chopping, stirring, kneading... With no pressure or expectations and as much fun you are ready to have
🥄 Invite tasting without the pressure to eat - ask questions about colours, textures, flavours
🥄 But most importantly - let them see you enjoy the same ingredients!

Haven't got the view? Don't worry. When it comes to nutrition and optimum digestion - it isn't about the view, but it's about MINDFUL EATING.

In simple terms - it's about doing one thing at a time - and doing it well! Looking at your plate, smelling the food (ok, maybe it's more than just one thing), chewing it well, enjoying each bite. Putting the cutlery down between bites. Taking note of when you're starting to feel full.

Simple or actually quite challenging? Let me know!

Some of you have asked me about the books that I use to create my nutrition & lifestyle protocols, so here's a snapshot of some of those that inspired me throughout the years and that inform my practice to this date.

10 years in my practice, and I see more and more clearly that applying the ancient wisdom of Chinese medicine to modern alignments brings about transformational results - they don't happen overnight but when the body has a chance to return to a state of balance - you get to experience the magic for years to come.

How does it work in practice? Comment 'Spring' and I will send you a link to my free webinar on how to support yourself in Spring time - mostly by taking care of your Liver and Gallbladder organs and meridian systems - you will find out for yourself that this approach can be very practical!

Do you often skip breakfast because there just isn't enough time to make it?

Do you find it difficult to focus, feel tired and low and often crave sugar and/or coffee during the day, especially late afternoon?

You may not be surprised to hear that the two above may be linked. Skipping breakfast is like asking your car to run on empty - it may do it for a short period of time but will quickly inform you that it's not how it was designed to run.

So if you really struggle with time in the morning, follow these steps:

1️⃣ Try not to think about what's on your plate just yet but choose something that you can put together relatively quickly, e.g. scrambled eggs and sourdough toast.

2️⃣ Or do the prep the day before so you can quickly reheat your breakfast in the morning, e.g. nut loaf with avocado and boiled eggs.

3️⃣ Aim at eating breakfast within the first couple of hours of waking up - eating on the go is not ideal, but may occasionally work if really pressed for time. Heated porridge in a flask or porridge pancakes may work well.

4️⃣ Once you get the hang of it (and start experiencing the benefits, which will.most definitely boost your motivation), then you can start increasing your portfolio of breakfast ideas and balanced them well for steady energy and satiety until lunchtime.

If you'd like more ideas on what to put on your plate first thing in the morning (including batch-cooking friendly recipes), comment below and I will send you a link to my 'Energise Your Mornings' free Recipe Pack that includes 11 breakfast ideas. 🌈

I haven't cooked much in the last 3 months.

Packing up our life in the UK whilst working full time. Moving countries. Visiting friends and family. Travelling to Brazil. Staying at people's houses. Staying in airbnb with varying levels of cooking equipment.

I missed cooking so much. The taste of my meals. The ritual of peeling, slicing, mixing. The smells coming from the hotpot. The joy of serving food to my loved ones.

So now, I celebrate my new kitchen, with a new view and the simplicity of meals created from delicious ingredients.

On the plate:
🥄Roasted tomato, red peppers & soup cooked in a chicken stock (using carcasses, hearts, lots of spices and root vegetables). Served with a sourdough roll, extra virgin olive oil and Maldon sea salt flakes.

Utterly simple and utterly delicious!

What is your favourite meal at the moment? How does it reflect the season outside your window?
