This will be a relaxed and informative evening with simple take home ideas that can easily be incorporated into daily life.

Whether you are looking to reset, recharge or simply learn more about natural approaches to health, we would love to see you there.

Where: Wanaka Community Hub
When: Thursday 11 June, 6:30pm to 9:00pm

My next Reiki Shoden Level I workshop will be taking place in Wanaka on the 23 and 24 May.

We often focus on eating well and getting enough sleep… but how often do we think about how we’re breathing?

I listened to a fascinating podcast last week hosted by Rangan Chatterjee with James Nestor, bestselling author of Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art.

He compares breathing to sleeping and eating. If we want to feel our best, not only do we need to sleep and eat well, but we also need to breathe well.

He shares research showing that conditions such as asthma, high blood pressure, emphysema and even scoliosis may be improved through better breathing.

It made me stop and think about my own breathing. Do I mouth breathe? Am I using my diaphragm enough?

In clinic, this is something I often come back to. When the nervous system is under stress, breathing patterns can change, which can impact digestion, energy and overall health.

I’m curious… is this something you’ve ever thought about?

One of the best parts is that breathing is free. It’s a simple way to support your stress response and gut health. Something we can all start becoming more mindful of.

𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐚 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥?

I’ve had a break over the Easter period, which was good for the soul. It gave me a chance to slow things down and step out of my usual routine, which was very much needed.

It’s interesting how quickly the body can shift when we give it the rest it needs. Sleep can feel deeper, energy more consistent and digestion more settled.

This is something I often see in clinic as well.

Many women are doing all the right things with food and exercise, yet their bodies are still under a level of stress that affects how everything functions.

The 𝐠𝐮𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 are closely connected, and when the body is constantly switched on, digestion is not always prioritised in the way we would expect.

Sometimes the starting point is not doing more, but allowing time for rest.

It might be something small, like taking a short break, having a massage, allowing yourself a 20 minute nap or letting go of things that are not as important as they feel in the moment.

I remember going to see my doctor and other practitioners before I became a nutritionist. I was eating well and had made significant changes in my life, but I still felt off.

It was 𝐟𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 and at times quite a 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 road to navigate, but I got there in the end.

This is a pattern I now see quite often in clinic. Women who are exercising, eating well and doing their best to look after themselves, yet still not feeling their best.

There can be ongoing bloating, disrupted sleep, irregular bowel motions and low libido, which we do not talk about enough. In some cases, there are also quite debilitating peri-menopausal symptoms.

On top of this, many are juggling full time work, relationships and children, often with very little time for themselves.

This is often where the 𝐠𝐮𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 are no longer working together as they should.

The good news is that there are ways to support this, gently and practically, to help bring back a sense of energy, balance and enjoyment in day to day life.

If this feels familiar, you are very welcome to reach out or book a 15-minute chat.

Why the Nervous System Matters More Than We Realise

Many people focus on digestion, sleep or energy without realising how central the nervous system is to all three.

It is easy to move through busy days without really checking in with ourselves, yet the nervous system is constantly responding to what is happening around us.

Changes in sleep, energy or digestion are often early signals that the system is under strain. The gut and nervous system are closely connected, so when one is under pressure the other often reflects it.

Sometimes the most helpful step is simply to pause, slow down and reconnect with the body. Practices such as supportive nutrition, breathing or Reiki can gently help the nervous system settle again.

Often the body already knows what it needs. We simply need to notice.

If you have noticed changes in your sleep, energy or digestion and would like support in understanding what your body may be signalling, you are welcome to get in touch. My work combines clinical nutrition, counselling and Reiki to support both the nervous system and digestive health.

04/02/2026

Stool patterns are one of the clearest indicators of how digestion is functioning internally.

When stools are consistently slow or consistently too fast, it suggests that digestive processes are not moving as smoothly as they should.

This may reflect sensitivity to certain foods, imbalance within the gut or disruption in how digestion is working. There is rarely a single contributing factor.

The message itself is straightforward.
Something is not quite right.

When these patterns persist over time, they are worth noticing rather than ignoring or simply adapting to discomfort.

28/01/2026

From a whole person perspective, listening to the body is about recognising patterns rather than reacting to isolated symptoms.

Digestive symptoms that repeat over time can offer insight into motility, daily rhythms and the influence of the nervous system on digestion.

This way of listening shifts the focus away from suppression and towards understanding.

When patterns are recognised, support can be more responsive, individual and sustainable.
