Dr. Wilhelm Heinrich Schüßler (1821–1898) was a German physician who developed the "Biochemistry" healing method based on 12 mineral salts in the second half of the 19th century.

In 1887, he famously removed Calcium sulfuricum (Salt No. 12) from his original list of 12 salts, though it was later reinstated by followers

“Why Shiatsu belongs in the forest”

The forests of Aotearoa have taught me about stillness.
About depth.
About listening.

There is a Yin quality in the ngahere — cool, dark, nourishing, receptive.
The same Yin that allows our nervous system to soften.
The same Yin that allows healing to happen.

Shiatsu is not about doing more.
It is about allowing. Receiving. Resting into support.

At the Forest Healing Festival, I will be offering a Shiatsu Bodywork workshop —
a space to reconnect your body with the quiet intelligence of the forest.

Come and root down with me 🌿

Don’t forget your roots.

Our well-being is deeply connected to where we come from.

My roots are in Germany — the land where I was born, where I grew up, where my mother tongue lives in my bones. The forests, the seasons, the rhythm of life there shaped my early years.

My ancestral roots reach further — to Ecuador, England, and especially Finland. Different lands. Different climates. Different histories. Yet all of them flow through me.

And then there are my chosen roots — here in Aotearoa New Zealand — the land that called me, welcomed me, and became home. The whenua beneath my feet. The people. The wairua. The deep connection to Papatūānuku that I feel so strongly.

Old roots.
Ancestral roots.
New roots.
Living roots.

A tree is only as strong as the roots that feed it.

When we honour where we come from — and consciously plant ourselves where we are now — we grow grounded, resilient, and abundant.

Our roots feed our trunk.
Our trunk carries our story.
Our branches offer shade and nourishment to others.

Remember your roots.
They are your strength.

As a Medical Herbalist, Naturopath, and Shiatsu Practitioner & Teacher, being in service to people is both a privilege and a responsibility.

Part of that responsibility is staying current with First Aid training — refreshing skills, updating knowledge, and keeping aligned with the latest emergency response guidelines every two years.

We never know when or how we may be called to help someone in an unexpected situation. Whether in clinic, in class, or out in the community, being prepared matters.

I am deeply grateful that my profession not only allows me to support people’s health naturally — but also encourages me to stay ready to respond when it truly counts.

In service, with skill and heart. 🌿

Daily Vitamin D or Monthly Prescription –
What’s Better?

Many people are prescribed 50,000 IU Vitamin D once a month.
But is that the best approach?

Here’s the difference:
Monthly high-dose (50,000 IU)
• Creates a big spike in blood levels
• Then levels slowly drop over the month
• Often used to correct deficiency quickly

Daily Vitamin D (1,000–4,000 IU)
• Provides steady, consistent levels
• Mimics natural sun exposure more closely
• Supports immune regulation more effectively

For bone health alone, monthly dosing can work.
But for people with: • Autoimmune conditions
(e.g. hypothyroidism, psoriasis)
• Chronic inflammation
• Mood concerns
• Immune vulnerability
• Higher body weight
• Older age

Daily dosing is often more supportive and physiologically balanced.
Vitamin D is not just about bones — it’s an immune and hormone regulator.

Always test levels (25(OH)D), dose appropriately, and re-check after 8–12 weeks.

If you’re unsure what approach suits you, individual guidance matters.

Happy Valentine's day🩷💜🩵💙💚💚💛

In this discourse, Amoda explores the profound distinction between personal love and the true nature of love.

From the perspective of the separate self, love appears as an emotion that is given and received, something reciprocal, conditional, and dependent on relationship. This kind of love opens and closes, connects and withdraws, and is shaped by fear, protection, and personal identity.

Amoda points beyond this to a deeper revelation of love that emerges as the sense of separate self loosens and comes undone. Love simply is. It is the radiance of being itself — unbounded, undefended, without distance or center.

In this realization, relationship does not create love; relationship unfolds within the field of love. The heart is no longer located inside the body — the whole of existence appears within the heart as love. Love is no longer transactional or conditional, but the very ground in which all experience arises.
