Concussion awareness post…

I had a second concussion earlier this year. I was in denial to start with but then the symptoms slowly reminded me of my old reality.

The last concussion I had was really tough, I was raising my two little girls (then 2 & 4), on my own, while trying to navigate something I knew nothing about.
I tried all sorts to help me heal. I developed post concussion syndrome, chronic pain, gut issues and chronic fatigue alongside a neck injury that prevented me from working for 7 years as well as one of the most important things to me and my identity - fitness and sports.

I learnt a lot about life, balance, managing stress, meditation, our autonomic nervous system, anti inflammatory diets and lifestyle. I learnt how to connect with my body, listen when things were off and build back my health. I became more in tune with myself, life, my people.

I missed running, sports, weight training and part of my identity. I still do.

The thing is no one can understand what you’re going through, not unless they’ve been there themselves. No one knows how to help. You have to ask, but sometimes you don’t even know what to ask for, or it’s harder to ask and explain.

And, here I am experiencing this for a second time. My babes are currently 15 and 13, I think it’s easier with teens 🤔, the solo parenting adds another layer.

Trying to explain but knowing no one truly gets it. Wondering why this has happened. While also knowing I’ve learnt some things, and I know how to help my brain get through this.

The thing is, when you’re mostly home, spending a lot of time alone, it gets tough, you’re in your head a lot 😉
… And still my mind races into what I can do to help others get through this (because that’s who I am) but right now, I’m gonna focus on helping myself get through this.

Some days are easier than others.

If you know anyone going through a concussion/brain/neck injury, ask them how you can help, show up with a meal, help around the home, be there for them, keep things quiet/less stimulation the better (conversations can be exhausting) watch a quiet movie together… just be there, it can be a rough ride. It can be two steps forward, one step back, keep checking in.

This…

The next frontier in medicine isn’t another drug.

It’s a radical shift in how we view the body, the brain, and disease itself.

Depression is often rooted in systemic inflammation, gut dysbiosis, mitochondrial dysfunction, insulin resistance, trauma, or disrupted circadian rhythms. ADHD may be tied to neuroinflammation, poor blood sugar control, or nutritional gaps like low magnesium, zinc, or omega-3s. And heart disease? It’s largely a food-borne illness, driven by a diet of ultra-processed, inflammatory, nutrient-poor calories.

There is no single root cause. But there are root causes.
And they are almost always connected by lifestyle, environment, and systems-level dysfunction.

Medications have their place… But they were never designed to reverse chronic disease. They manage symptoms, often while the underlying dysfunction worsens.

If we want to reverse the chronic disease epidemic, mental and physical, we need to stop asking what drug treats this and start asking why the body lost balance in the first place.

The answer isn’t in the pharmacy… It’s in how we eat, move, sleep, connect, and live.
It’s in our soil, our food system, our communities, our kitchens.

The next revolution in medicine will come not from the lab but from returning to the root.

Reiki relaxes me sooo much ✨

Life is busy, and sometimes it feels like I’m hanging on by a thread with a to-do list still miles long.

Sometimes I notice my energy is chaotic inside, probably to match the busyness in my head. I’ve come to realise that when I feel like this, I need to slow down the rush, the busyness, the to-do list and instead, take some time for me.

❤️❤️❤️

I had a beautiful experience receiving Reiki last night…
I felt the chaotic energy, a sense of fear, a heightened sensitivity, pressure and I was tense. Then, as I allowed the healing energy to flow through me my breathing calmed, my body relaxed and I received a message - to trust. I let go fully and then the real healing came.
My mind, body and soul feel calm, happy, knowing I’m on my right path and releasing a some negativities I’ve been holding for too long.

I’m so grateful to have come across this beautiful healing practice and that I’m able to share it with others 🙌

❤️ Love the life you live, live the life you love ❤️

New Year, New You? …Me too!

… I’ve just set my intentions for the next few months. Thinking about where I am now, what I want for myself and what daily actions I need to take to achieve this ✨

Self care in all areas coming in hot 🔥

Over the last few years I’ve let go of some areas of self care that I know are important for my health and well-being. I know these things need to be scheduled into my day to make sure they happen or they become the negotiable rather than the priority.

I know who I am when I take care of myself. I know how much my energy has an effect on those around me. And, I know that taking care of me, is ALSO TAKING CARE OF MY NEAREST AND DEAREST 💕When I feel good, I create the mood of our home. When I feel s**t, I also create the mood of our home…& let’s just say sometimes it’s a bit of a s**t show 😆

It’s time to co-create, set some goals, feel good, and bring in what we desire with daily action.

✨ Come join me if you feel called ✨

Health Coaching for lifestyle and behaviour change, helping with nutrition, exercise, sleep and stress.

Reiki to take that weight off your shoulders, shift your energy, release blockages and feel in flow, alive and inspired again.

Yesterday was so special ❤️ I feel so grateful and blessed to be on this journey and sharing it with so many beautiful women.

Grateful to all the beautiful ladies joining us on retreat tomorrow ✨

There is much overwhelm, stress and exhaustion felt by many at the moment and I know too well how easy it is to drop our self care/needs when life gets busy.

We all get to choose where we spend our time but we can get caught up in the whirlwind and forget that we have that choice.

Sometimes we notice our balance is off, sometimes we need a gentle reminder and sometimes we just know we are deserving of this beautiful space 💕

…to care for ourselves so the universe cares for us too ✨
…to refill our cups that are receiving little attention and know how great we feel when we do ✨
…to feel fulfilled with moments of joy, gratitude, connection and love ✨

…and sometimes, we just need to be guided through these beautiful practices that allow us to show up for ourselves, honour ourselves and know that we too are worthy of all that we desire.

❤️ I can’t wait to see you all ❤️

Anxiety… IYKYK… it sux!

But, what if your anxiety was there to teach you something. To make life better. Where, on the other side of anxiety, there is your true, authentic, loving self ready to take on your dreams and desires.

Would you then thank your anxiety for showing up, for allowing you to heal, release, let go and return to yourself?

I believe anxiety is a byproduct. An alarm system to alert us we are off track. Tell us there is something to release, or something to find.

If you’re experiencing anxiety, and want to heal, get in touch as I have something special for you ❤️
