✨ Winter Wellness Rituals ✨
Immune Tips for Tired Parents
If your house has been hit with non-stop sniffles lately, this one’s for you!
On Thursday 10 July at 7pm, I’m running a relaxed, info-filled evening for parents who want to keep their families well this winter. Without living at the pharmacy.
We’ll chat practical immune-boosting tips, everyday herbs, food-as-medicine, key nutrients/ supplements and small rituals that actually work (and can fit into your busy sched - trust me I. Get. It.)
You’ll also get:
A warming immune tea tasting
A gut-loving snack
A little recipe handout to take home
All happening at Kindred Chiropractic, 761 Beach Rd, Browns Bay.
Tickets are $45 and spaces are limited.
Come along, fill your cup (and your immune toolkit), and connect with other parents trying to keep their families well 💛
Another day another workshop announcement!
This one is in collaboration with
🌿✨ Winter Wellness from the Garden ✨🌿
Come join me and some awesome souls from for a morning of seasonal herbal goodness to help you keep well this winter!
We’ll be diving into the plants that thrive in our gardens and wild spaces through the cooler months. And learning how to turn them into simple, effective remedies to support your immunity and vitality this winter. Amazing what nature offers up at this time of year to support us!
I'm already busy prepping some little tasters for us and some recipes for you to take home:
🔥Fire Cider
🍵Herbal broths & teas
🍯 Infused honeys
Expect a warm cup of herby goodness and to learn fun and easy ways to bring more herbal support into your everyday. You’ll take home a handout + samples and have the chance to keep learning if this sparks something in you 🌱
Whether you're already growing herbs, already a seasoned kitchen witch or just herbal-curious, this is a lovely, grounding way to connect with the season and with like-minded souls.
Everyone is welcome - I hope to see you there!
Love you!

The Hormone Shift 💫 An evening on understanding perimenopause
I’m so excited to be hosting a few upcoming events! I’ll be coming out of me shell and sharing more info over the next few days!
First up, is something really important and sometimes misunderstood in Womens health:
Perimenopause! What it is, how it shows up, and how you can support yourself through it.
Once brushed off as 'hysteria' or 'just stress' 🙄😑😒, perimenopause/ menopause is finally being recognised for what it TRULY is - a significant hormonal shift and a powerful time of transformation in a woman’s life.
Perimenopause isn’t an overreaction. It’s a big but natural transition. And you deserve support through it.
So many women I speak to are moving through this shift without clear guidance or support. This workshop is about changing that 💛 offering knowledge, tools, and connection during a time that can feel a little hectic!
Understanding what’s happening in your body (even if you're not quite there yet!) is empowering 💪 You're not meant to figure it all out alone.
💫We'll talk symptoms - what to expect and what this means in your body
💫 A balanced look at both Natural approaches and HRT. What’s helpful, what to consider.
💫Questions to ask yourself and your GP. Testing to consider
💫 Herbal, nutrition, and lifestyle tools to support balance
💫Well get cozy, enjoy homone nourishing tea and snacks.
💫You'll go home feeling a little more supported and empowered (with a handout to refer to 😘)
Thursday 26 June | 7:00–8:15pm
Hosted in their gorgeous new premises (it's such a special space!).
If you have any questions flick me a message or you can just go right ahead and book your beautiful, hormonal self in here:
I would absolutely love to see you there - You deserve it!
Love you 💛

This Saturday we'll be hosting a community clinic day in Browns Bay. A great opportunity if you are curious about Chiropractic or Naturopathic care. Book in for a complimentary appointment with myself, Carita or Ruby to find out a little more about we do and how we can help with your health and vitality.
Happy New Year!! How we all doing in the first week of 2024 so far?
I hope your cups and hearts are full and your mind and soul clear and ready for a new adventure around the sun ☀
My new years wish for you (and me) is to lovingly let go of something (big or small) that didn't serve your happiest, healthiest self. To also give it love and gratitude for helping you arrive at this very moment in this very year. It may not feel like a brand new chapter for you and that is okay too! It doesn't have to. For me it's been slow and steady and quiet with some mermaiding around in the sea and iced 'bee brews' mixed in there. A restful patch that has felt like a big yawn and stretch before a new day.
I'm not huge on big, grand New Years resolutions but there is something about those collective intentions we set at this time of year. It can be a nice time to take stock, be gentle with ourselves and others and to start implementing small daily practices that make you feel good ♥
Think like a plant and remember the basics as you step into 2024
Water
Sunshine
Movement
Rest/Sleep
Nourishment
I'm sure the rest will fall into place ♥
Love you! X

I also have a special interest in auto-immune conditions, gut health and hormonal balance.
Naturopathy can treat a wide range of health concerns, so please feel free to message me if you would like to book a consultation or have any queries as to how it can help you.
What is Naturopathy?
Naturopathy is a holistic, natural and individualised treatment for health and wellbeing. The aim is to promote physiological, mental and emotional balance. As a Naturopath my goal is to provide you with tools for long lasting health and vitality. Together we come up with a wellness plan that changes over time according to your needs and progress. It will involve a combination of lifestyle advice, herbal and nutritional treatment specific to you. I am also able to refer you to other practitioners if needed and can order functional testing if appropriate. We work alongside your other medications and treatments. Naturopathic treatment can take time and commitment so I do ask that you give my suggestions time to work.
The 6 main principles of Naturopathic practice are:
1) The Healing Power of Nature (Vis Medicatrix Naturae)
2) Identify and Treat the Causes (Tolle Causam)
3) First Do No Harm (Primum Non Nocere)
4) Physician as Teacher (Docere)
5) Treat the Whole Person
6) Prevention
