I use muscle testing to help identify your hidden blocks to health & wellbeing. These blocks may be Please look at my website for further information.

nderlying cause of this weakness using the 6 most common stressors. What are the six most common stressors?

1) Food allergies
2) Immune challenges -fungal, viral, bacterial & parasites
3) Heavy metals
4) Chemical toxicity
5) Scars & other interference fields - these block energy flow
6) Nutritional deficiencies - the organ/gland is lacking nutrients for optimal functioning

Based on these findings we use muscle testing to design a individualised nutritional program using natural organic supplements & lifestyle changes. When the underlying causes are identified & removed the body is then more able to heal itself. https://biotrace.co.nz/

🌿 “I’m doing the best I can… and I still feel awful.”

🩷 I’ve reduced the sugar. I’m moving my body—even when I don’t feel like it. I’m drinking more water. I’ve tried so many different supplements…
But I still wake up exhausted. I still feel bloated.
And now I’m wondering—is this just how it is for me? Is it just my hormones? My age? Is there even anything I can do?

🍃 This is something I hear often from people who come to see me—tired, frustrated, and trying so hard to feel better… but not getting anywhere. Or worse, they’ve had glimpses of improvement… and then it all slips back again.

🩷 If that’s you, know this: it’s not because you’re not trying hard enough. And it may not be just your hormones. Or just ageing.
Often, there’s something deeper—some underlying hidden cause—that’s interfering with your body’s ability to heal, have more energy, and tolerate more foods.

🌿 Your body is wise, but when it’s overwhelmed, it speaks through symptoms:
fatigue, bloating, irritability, insomnia, headaches, food reactions.
These aren’t random—they’re messages.

✨ At The Natural Health Clinic, I use Nutrition Response Testing™ to help uncover what your body is trying to tell you.
It’s not guesswork. We’re not doing patch-up jobs.
We’re finding real answers—specific to your body—so we can remove the blocks to healing in the right order, at the right pace.

🩷 One client, Jo, recently said she feels the best she’s felt in such a long time.
She had struggled with deep fatigue, anxiety, and depression for years. She’d tried so many different supplements—some helped a little, most didn’t.
But now, her energy is steadier, her mood is so much happier and she's just living a better quality of life!🩷💙💛💜
👉Because we finally understood what her body was asking for.

🍃 It’s such a joy and honour to help people with that kind of transformation.
The better quality of life, the hope, the ease that returns… it’s a privilege to support that kind of healing.

👉 Comment below or message me to book your health evaluation and
💫 let’s see if we can uncover what your body is trying to communicate—and what it needs to heal.

That wisdom can guide us through the confusion and guesswork, helping us find the best solutions for whatever we’re facing.

🩷Trust your body. It’s wiser than you think.🩷

🌿 Part 3: Flip the healing switch – with calm, happy, and small acts of self-care
🍃 If your nervous system stays STUCK in stress mode, healing stalls.

And the moment that stress lessens—even just a little bit—your body can begin to return to healing.

💫 I’m not talking about doing less. I’m talking about doing what brings a sense of ease, lightness, and just a little more “fun” back into the picture.

That might be:
☘️ Watching something light-hearted (laughter is the best medicine)
☘️ Baking for fun, not perfection
☘️ Coffee with someone who truly gets you
☘️ Turning your phone off for the evening
☘️ Getting your hands in the soil
☘️ Choosing sleep instead of pushing through
☘️ Saying no to one thing that depletes you

👉 These aren’t luxuries or being selfish, it's taking care of yourself so that you can show up better for the people and things you care about.
You can be more present with your partner, more patient with your kids, more balanced at work—and everything starts to feel a little easier, a little less draining.
Your tolerance improves, your energy returns… and let’s be honest, people might even start enjoying being around you again. 😉

👉 I see this at times in my office:
A client’s food tests beautifully. Their supplements are exactly what their body is asking for.
But they’re carrying a constant hum of stress—sometimes without even realising it.
And when that stress lightens, even just a little, healing starts to deepen.
Not because they did more, but because they allowed more space for repair.

🌿 So if your body’s whispering—or maybe even shouting😬—“I need more rest… more happiness… more fun!”
This is not a sign of weakness or being lazy.
It’s your body’s wisdom guiding you to what it needs.
It’s up to you if you listen or not.

✨ “The moment you change your perception is the moment you rewrite the chemistry of your body.” – Dr Bruce Lipton

🩷 You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to be present enough to notice what your body is really asking for.
And then, you have the opportunity to make changes at the pace you can handle.

🌿 When Your Gut Is Quietly Running the Show (Including Your Emotions)

Ever noticed how your mood can spiral downhill faster than your blood sugar? One minute you’re fine, the next you’re snapping at your partner for breathing too loudly. 😠💨 If you’ve been feeling anxious, flat, or just “not quite yourself” lately—and you can’t pinpoint why—there’s a good chance your gut’s involved.

🍃 I’ve seen it many times. Women who are doing all the “right things” for their health, but still feel emotionally stretched thin. Their minds are foggy, moods are unpredictable, and they feel constantly overstimulated or under-resourced—often both at once. And yet no one has ever stopped to ask how their digestion is going. Or how often they feel bloated, gassy, heavy after eating, or like their food just sits there.

🧠 This matters, because your gut and your brain are in constant conversation. Over 90% of your serotonin—the neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood, sleep, appetite, and calm—is made in the gut. If your gut lining is irritated, if your digestion is sluggish, or if your immune system is reacting to foods, that signal to the brain gets scrambled. What you end up with is a body that’s quietly inflamed and a brain that thinks the world’s on fire. 🔥

Sometimes it’s subtle, and you might not even realise your emotional swings are connected to that bloated feeling after lunch or how you crash mid-afternoon. Other times, it’s screaming so loud that people are afraid to come near you in case you snap—like one moment you’re lovely, the next you’ve gone full Jekyll and Hyde. 😬 But your body is always trying to tell you something. 💚

👉 What I see often in my office is women doing everything “right” on the surface—eating clean, staying active—but their nervous system and gut haven’t caught up. Their body is still stuck in survival mode, and the symptoms are its way of waving the flag.

If any of that sounds familiar, know this: you’re not stuck with it. That’s the part that matters. 💫

Nutrition Response Testing™ helps us figure out what your body is reacting to, where it’s overwhelmed, and what it needs most to restore balance. Often it’s not about doing more—it’s about understanding the messages your body is already giving you, and responding in a way that’s supportive, not suppressive.

If this feels familiar and you’re ready to find out what’s really going on, you’re welcome to reach out. 🍃

🌿 Part 2: “But I’m doing everything right…” – and your body still doesn’t feel great❗
🍃 Sometimes you’re eating well. Your food tests beautifully for you. The supplements you’re on are exactly what your body wants.

👉But your nervous system is still STUCK in stress mode.😬 Which changes the environment your cells are living in—making lasting health improvement harder to achieve

💫 That low expectation of your body’s healing ability often comes from struggling for so long without understanding what your body was trying to say.

You may start to believe:
– “This is going to be so hard.”
– “I’ve tried everything.”
– “Maybe I just can’t heal.”
– “It’s just my karma.”
– “Maybe I’m just doomed.”
– “I’m probably just getting old.”
– “It’s my hormones.”

And when those thoughts take hold, they can quietly pull you into a sense of powerlessness.

🩷Your body wasn’t out to get you—it was talking to you.🩷

It was saying:
“That food is stressing me. I can’t function very well if you keep eating it.”
Or: “The alcohol is hurting the liver. I can’t clear toxins properly… and now your hormones are out of balance.”

💫 When you start seeing symptoms as communication – as messages – it shifts how you see everything.
Instead of blaming your body, you can take responsibility.
And when you understand the messages, you can finally support your body in the way it’s been asking for all along.

➡️ Tomorrow in Part 3: I’ll share practical, fun ways to flip the healing switch—many of which you already know, but may have forgotten to prioritise. Let’s bring them back in.

31/07/2025

What you focus on shapes how you feel—and how your body responds.
If your attention is locked on the discomfort, your system stays in stress mode.
But when you start tuning into the possibility of healing… something begins to shift.
Here’s a gentle reminder to notice where your attention is today.

🌿 Part 1: Is stress quietly blocking your healing?

✨ “We are not victims of our genes, but masters of our fate.” – Dr Bruce Lipton

🍃 You might be eating well. Taking good supplements. Trying to do everything “right.”

But if you’re under ongoing emotional stress—your body may still be stuck in survival mode.

🧠 As Dr Bruce Lipton explains, when we feel stressed (even just a little bit), blood leaves the gut and rushes to our arms and legs. Why? Because your body thinks it’s time to run from danger. It’s prioritising escape—not digestion, detox, or deep repair.

🍃 So while you might not feel hugely stressed… your nervous system may still be operating as if a lion is chasing you.😬❗

And when that happens—your gut doesn’t get the nourishment it needs and the blood can't nourish your vital organs as well as it should. Therefore your hormones go out of balance, your skin doesn't heal as well, etc. Your body puts healing on hold because surviving is more important than digest your food or taking nutrients to your liver cells.

💫 The body heals best when it feels safe and calm.

💫 That’s why one of the most healing things you can do is create moments of calm, joy, or play—even if just for a few minutes.

🩷 Your nervous system is always listening.

➡️ In Part 2: What if you’re doing everything “right” and your body still isn’t healing? We’ll look at how your thoughts and beliefs may be affecting your recovery.

✨Most people don’t think much about their old scars… a childhood fall, a caesarean section, even that belly button piercing from years ago. But what if you found out that scars—no matter how small or old—have the potential to interfere with your body’s natural flow of energy through the acupuncture points… mess with your thyroid… or even contribute to fatigue, anxiety, and stubborn hormonal imbalances?😬

I know it sounds crazy—but it’s something I see frequently. And it’s so often overlooked. Because… who knew?

I certainly didn’t—until I did this training. And since then, I’ve seen some amazing results just by addressing these hidden trouble spots.

🌿Scars from surgeries, injuries, tattoos, burns—even your old belly button ring (even if the rings gone there's still some scar tissue)—can act like energetic blocks. They interfere with nerve function and disrupt the flow of blood, lymph, and the life force that moves through key channels in the body.

Each of these channels feeds specific organs. When a block happens, the organ it’s meant to nourish can become out of balance.

👉 One woman had a scar on her head she’d never thought twice about. After a scar clearing session, she described a warming sensation and said the area felt “looser, freer”—even though she hadn’t noticed it was tight before.

👉 Another client with a past C-section told me, “That whole area started tingling and feeling freer. It had always been kind of numb… now it just feels much softer and more normal.”

🌿In traditional Chinese medicine, scars across the midline of the body—like C-sections, episiotomies, or navel piercings—can interfere with something called the Central Vessel. This is one of the most important meridians for emotional and hormonal regulation.

🌿I know it sounds a bit weird. It's not something we hear about much in our culture—but it's certainly something that’s understood in traditional Chinese medicine and several European healing systems.

✨ In my office, we check scars to see if they’re affecting your ability to heal. If you’ve been stuck on a rollercoaster of symptoms—even after changing your diet or taking supplements—this might be a missing piece of your puzzle.

🩷Feel free to send a message if you’re curious.

👉Your body is made to heal.
Sometimes, it just needs a little nudge (or a rather big one) in the right direction.😁

😣 Still bloated — even after improving your diet?

It’s one of the most common things I hear in my office:

“I’ve cut gluten, dairy, sugar… I’m eating better. But by 3pm I still look 6 months pregnant.”

Here are 4 possible reasons why you’re still bloated more often than not:

1️⃣ You're eating foods your body doesn’t tolerate — even “healthy” ones like eggs, broccoli, almonds, bananas, coconut, yoghurt, or oats. (Yes, really.)

2️⃣ You're stressed or eating too fast — which stops proper digestion before it even starts.

3️⃣ Your gut bacteria are imbalanced — when the wrong bugs take over, gas and bloating follow.

4️⃣ You're not digesting food well due to hidden issues — like food sensitivities, immune toxins, yeast overgrowth, or a sluggish liver. In this case, your gut needs the correct, targeted support to get back on track.

🌿 You don’t need to keep guessing.
I use gentle muscle testing to help uncover what’s really going on — and create a plan that’s tailored, clear, and completely natural.

🥚 3 Signs You Might Not Be Getting Enough Protein

Protein isn’t just for body builders — it’s essential for energy, hormone balance, muscle repair, immunity, and mood.

But many women and children I see in my office — especially those feeling tired, foggy, or craving sugar — aren’t getting enough.

Here are 3 subtle signs your protein might be too low:

1️⃣ You're hungry again an hour after eating
2️⃣ Your muscles feel weak or slow to recover
3️⃣ You crave sugar or carbs, especially in the afternoon

👉 Most women need around 60g of protein per day, (depends on weight) but many are only getting half that — especially when breakfast is just coffee and toast or cereals.

Better protein doesn’t have to mean more meat — it means better planning.

✅ Greek yoghurt + seeds + a few nuts or chia seeds + berries
✅ Cottage cheese + berries + Nuts + seeds or salmon (my favourite
✅ 2 eggs = 12g of protein any way you like them. Poached on steamed broccoli
✅ Lentils, chicken, salmon, tofu (if tolerated)
✅ Collagen or protein powder into smoothies and pancakes

Getting protein right can make a HUGE difference for more stable energy, weight balance, and even better sleep.

I don’t hand out supplement protocols for anxiety.
Because it depends.

It depends on what your body needs support with.

I’ve had clients come in with cupboards full of half-used bottles—
💊 Magnesium
💊 B vitamins
💊 Adrenal blends
💊 Calming herbs
But they’re still anxious. Still wired. Still flat.

👉Those things might help—but only if they’re what you actually need.

Anxiety can come from dozens of directions:
✔️ Blood sugar swings
✔️ Gut or liver overload
✔️ A nervous system stuck in survival mode
✔️ Nutrient deficiencies or food sensitivities
✔️ Toxins interfering with key systems like thyroid or adrenals

🧠 Your nervous system is meant to regulate your healing.
But if something’s throwing it off, no supplement can fix it.

That’s why we test. We don’t guess.
👉And we don’t copy-paste someone else’s healing onto your body.🩷

Through Nutrition Response Testing, I help you uncover the specific root causes of imbalance—and create a personalised nutritional and dietary program in the order your body needs to heal.

✨ This is calm that comes from the inside out.

Here’s why I often recommend the honey + apple cider vinegar tonic in winter:
It’s not magic—it’s minerals.🩷

🍯 Raw honey offers trace minerals and natural enzymes
🍎 Apple cider vinegar helps with gentle detox and digestive support
💧 Together, they support gut balance, which plays a huge role in your immune system’s function

This combination has been used for generations as a natural tonic to support energy, calm inflammation, and aid digestion. I still recommend it to clients today because it’s simple, affordable, and surprisingly effective.

Try this:
• 1 tsp raw honey
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
• Stir into warm (not hot) water
• Drink once daily, ideally mid-morning or mid-afternoon

It’s not a cure-all. But for many people, it’s a nourishing habit that helps the body do what it was designed to do: heal and stay well.

Have you tried this? I’d love to hear how it works for you.🩷

Our Story

At The Natural Health Clinic I use muscle testing to find the areas of weakness in the body. This is achieved by using muscle testing to perform a full body scan which includes all organs, glands, joints & any areas of pain by gently touching reflexes on the surface of the body. Through muscle testing we then identify which of these weakened areas is the priority to deal with & what could be the underlying cause of this weakness using the 6 most common stressors. What are the six most common stressors? 1) Food allergies 2) Immune challenges -fungal, viral, bacterial & parasites 3) Heavy metals 4) Chemical toxicity 5) Scars & other interference fields - these block energy flow 6) Nutritional deficiencies - the organ/gland is lacking nutrients for optimal functioning Based on these findings we use muscle testing to design a individualised nutritional program using natural organic supplements & lifestyle changes. When the underlying causes are identified & removed the body is then more able to heal itself.
