✨ Finding Balance from the Inside Out ✨

I recently had the privilege of contributing to a magazine article on one of my favourite topics: finding the balance within.

In a world that constantly pulls us in every direction, true healing begins when you reconnect with your body, your mind, and your emotions - and allow them to work together again.

In my practice, I bring together a range of modalities, such as Specialized Kinesiology, BodyTalk, Stress & Trauma Release, and Life Transformation Coaching, to offer a unique, comprehensive and holistic approach to your health and well-being.

Each session is designed to look at the full picture of your life, gently addressing what is out of alignment so you can return to a place of clarity, ease, and inner balance.

Whether you prefer a single balancing session to re-centre and reset; or feel called to a longer, more transformative journey, I offer a selection of programs and packages to support you as you come home to yourself.

Some sessions can also be done online or remotely, making healing & transformation accessible no matter where you are.

If this speaks to you, reach out and let us explore which option feels right for you.

Through Specialized Kinesiology and BodyTalk, we gently uncover and balance the emotional, mental and energetic stresses your systems have been holding. When the body's communication opens up again, digestion settles, the nervous system softens, and you feel more at ease from the inside out.

If your stomach - or any other discomfort in your body - has been calling for attention lately, why not book a session?

Your body is always trying to guide you back to balance - you do not have to do it alone.

Welcome to the 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐩𝐢𝐨 - a time for 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧!

The New Moon in Scorpio, on the 20th November, opens a deep doorway into your 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗲. This is not a surface-level moment. Scorpio invites you to 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲 the places within you that have been whispering for attention; the 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵𝘀 you feel in your bones, the 𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 that rise up when you finally stop running, the 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 you believed you had already outgrown.

Under this New Moon, the 𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 run intense and undeniable. You may crave 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆 more than ever. Small talk, half-hearted connections, and pretending you are “fine” will feel impossible. Your soul is pushing for something real… and for many, that comes with the unmistakable nudge to change something meaningful.

This lunation activates a 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁. Thoughts or emotions you thought were “settled” may resurface, to be released, not to punish you. When Scorpio calls, it is because something inside is ready to be 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗱.

The cosmos whispers: “𝑆𝑙𝑜𝑤 𝑑𝑜𝑤𝑛. 𝐿𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑛. 𝑇ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑖𝑠 𝑡𝑟𝑢𝑡ℎ ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑤𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝑒 𝑦𝑜𝑢.”

With so many planets travelling through water signs, your inner world is louder than the outer one. Themes around 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁, 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗰𝘆, 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆, 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘀, 𝗿𝗲𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝘀 may rise. Let them. These feelings are not setbacks, they are signals. You are shedding what is outdated and reclaiming deeper self-honesty.

And then… there is Uranus.

Uranus, the awakener, sits opposite this New Moon, shaking loose what you have outgrown. 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘀. 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀. 𝗨𝗻𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀. 𝗦𝘂𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆. 𝗔 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗱. 𝗔 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗱. If something cracks, it is because more light wants to enter. If something falls away, it was never part of your next chapter.

This New Moon does not require force. Only honesty. Only presence. Only the willingness to meet yourself where you are.

You are not going backwards.
You are releasing.
You are renewing.
A 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 is quietly taking form.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐞 𝐧𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬?

𝟭. 𝗚𝗼 𝗶𝗻𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱. 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱.
Scorpio is a water sign, so work with the element. Showers, baths, swimming, or simply listening to water can help you process and clear your auric field.
𝟮. 𝗟𝗲𝘁 𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁.
If you feel nostalgic, sensitive, or drawn to re-examine old relationships or memories, do so gently. You do not need to reopen wounds, only understand the wisdom they left behind.
𝟯. 𝗚𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲.
Uranus may shake your foundations a bit. When things feel unstable, pause. Breathe. Ground. Whisper: “I choose what aligns with my truth.”
𝟰. 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁 𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀.
Retrogrades (Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus & Neptune!) pull us backwards so we can retrieve something meaningful we left behind. Ideas you once abandoned may suddenly feel alive again. Look at them with fresh eyes.
𝟱. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀.
Not everyone can meet you in your depth. Discernment is an act of self-love.
𝟲. 𝗪𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲. 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁. 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲.
Journal what you are ready to let go of and what you want to welcome in. Scorpio loves ritual: even the simple act of naming your truth holds power.

𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐝𝐨𝐦:

This is a rebirth.
Just as the scorpion sheds its skin, you are shedding an emotional layer that no longer fits who you are becoming.

Ask yourself:
• How have I transformed since last year?
• What has quietly shifted inside me?
• What part of me is ready to emerge now?

Even if things feel intense or uncertain, trust that 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘂𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴. You are not who you were, and that is something to honour.

This New Moon encourages you to step beyond your fears, loosen your grip on the past, and open yourself to a more authentic way of being. Some truths may be revealed, but they serve your evolution. Some changes may feel sudden, but they create space for your next level of inner security.

You do not need all the answers.
You only need to meet yourself honestly.

So…

Be gentle with yourself.
You are navigating deep waters, but you are also discovering new parts of your own strength, wisdom, and resilience.

Let this New Moon be your reminder that every ending contains the seed of a beginning, and that you are ready for the next chapter.

You are rising, even here.
You are healing, even now.
You are becoming, beautifully, unmistakably… 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳!

Good morning beautiful souls!

I"ve come across these 7 Principles of Zen Wisdom, and I feel they eautifully echo much of what we work on in my practice.

When we slow down, breathe, and allow life to unfold, without rushing to fix, control, or perfect, it is remarkable how the body, mind, and heart begin to align naturally.

Healing happens in presence.

✨ Do one thing at a time.
✨ Let go of what wants to leave.
✨ Find beauty in the simple.
✨ Remember: it all passes.

At Being Well with Bérénice, I help you reconnect with that quiet space within where balance and clarity return, gently and naturally.

💫 What principle speaks most to you today?

The Super Full Moon in Ta**us on the 5th November brings a luminous pause in time, a gentle yet profound call to turn inward and listen to the quiet truth of your own heart. Ta**us, steady and soulful, reminds us that real strength lies not in pushing harder, but in coming home to ourselves. This Full Moon asks an important question: Does the outer life you are living truly mirror the person you have become inside?

This lunation carries an earthy wisdom, guiding you to reconnect with what feels solid, honest, and deeply nourishing. It encourages you to return to your roots: to simplicity, to stillness, to the beauty of what is real. Opposite the Sun in Scorpio, the energy reveals layers you may have buried or ignored. Emotions can surface that invite reflection on what you hold onto for comfort, even when it no longer fits who you are becoming.

This is a time to soften rather than resist. Instead of escaping discomfort, allow yourself to feel it with gentleness. The Ta**us Moon asks for patience, for the courage to sit with what arises and to trust the process of change. When life feels unsettled, remember that disruption often serves as a doorway to authenticity.

The weeks ahead may bring unexpected shifts or revelations that stir your foundations. These moments are not accidents; they are cosmic reminders to realign with your true path. Life may be rearranging itself so that you can live more consciously, from a place of integrity rather than habit.

Breathe deeply. Let this Super Full Moon steady your heart. It is a tender reminder to release what no longer supports your growth and to nurture what is real, enduring, and true to your essence. Build your next chapter with awareness, love, and trust in the natural rhythm of your becoming.

With love and gratitude.

The 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐋𝐢𝐛𝐫𝐚 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝟐𝟏𝐬𝐭 𝐎𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫 brings a gentle yet powerful invitation to realign your life with what truly feels balanced and authentic. You may feel a deep yearning for peace, harmony, and connection, both within yourself and in your relationships.

If you have been giving too much, have been people-pleasing, or avoiding confrontation to keep the peace, this lunation asks you to 𝐩𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞. True 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐲 comes when you honour both your needs and those of others, not from pretending everything is fine when it is not.

This New Moon opens a fresh chapter for 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞, 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬. It encourages meaningful communication, fairness, and mutual respect. Whether it is mending an old bond, attracting new energy, or finding peace within yourself, this is your moment to reset the scales.

This is a powerful time for 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐫𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 and prioritizing your own needs. You may feel inspired to refresh your outer world and make it a reflection of your inner balance: you may be drawn to revisit your look, rearrange your workspace, or adapt your daily rhythm. 𝐀𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬.

In your work and career, new beginnings are favored, especially for creative endeavors, collaborations, or ventures that require legal agreements or contracts. It's a time to start new projects that reflect who you've become and to make small but meaningful shifts that can have a big impact.

With Pluto and Jupiter stirring beneath the surface, emotions or desires can feel stronger than usual. Notice where you may be pulled between wanting more and needing stability, between personal desires and external pressures from career or partners. Growth happens when you act from 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬, not from pressure, exaggeration or excess. Even with a fresh start, shooting too high or too far won’t help you achieve your goals sooner.

As Neptune returns to Pisces in the days following the New Moon, you may feel his dreamy influence and your intuition feels heightened. Listen to what your dreams, body, and emotions are trying to tell you. This is a sacred window for reflection, to understand what peace really means to you.

Do not be afraid to be who you really are. It’s time for harmony in your life!

Why your lymphatic system is so important!

Gentle techniques like Myofascial Release or Traditional Thai Foot Massage promote flow and circulation.

Emotions like grief, anger, worry, and sadness, particularly when suppressed, can cause stagnation in the lymphatic system, leading to physical tension and congestion, and illness.

Specialized Kinesiology can help identify and release those stuck emotions and promote body-mind-emotions balance.

Read the article for more information and understanding, it's fascinating!

🍃 Fun and Fascinating Facts About the Lymphatic System
By Bianca Botha CLT, RLD, MLDT & CDS

The lymphatic system is one of the body’s most essential networks, yet it often operates behind the scenes, keeping us healthy and balanced. Here are some fun and surprising facts about this unsung hero of the human body:

1. The Lymphatic System Has a One-Way Flow

Unlike the circulatory system, which loops blood throughout the body, the lymphatic system flows in only one direction—upward, toward the heart. This ensures that toxins and waste are effectively transported out of tissues for elimination.

2. You Have Twice as Many Lymphatic Vessels as Blood Vessels

The lymphatic system spans a vast network, with more vessels than the circulatory system. This extensive reach ensures it can collect and transport fluid from every corner of the body.

3. Your Body Produces Up to 4 Liters of Lymph Fluid Daily

Every day, the lymphatic system handles about 2-4 liters of lymph fluid, transporting immune cells, fats, and toxins. It’s like a busy highway for your body’s defense and detox.

4. The Largest Lymphatic Vessel Is the Thoracic Duct

The thoracic duct is the main highway of the lymphatic system, collecting lymph from most of the body and emptying it into the bloodstream near the heart.

5. The Spleen Is the Body’s Largest Lymphatic Organ

The spleen acts as a massive filter, cleaning blood, recycling old red blood cells, and producing immune cells to fight infections.

6. Lymph Nodes Are Like Security Checkpoints

Your body has about 600-700 lymph nodes, strategically placed to filter lymph and trap harmful invaders like bacteria and viruses. Think of them as your body’s immune “command centers.”

7. The Lymphatic System Loves Movement

The lymphatic system doesn’t have a pump like the heart to move fluid. Instead, it relies on muscle contractions, breathing, and physical activity. Even simple activities like walking or bouncing on a trampoline can boost lymph flow.

8. It’s Closely Linked to Your Gut

A significant portion of your lymphatic system is located in the gut, in an area known as the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT). This helps the body manage immune responses to food and gut bacteria.

9. Lymph Means “Clear Water”

The word “lymph” comes from the Latin word lympha, meaning “clear water,” describing the appearance of the lymph fluid that circulates through the body.

10. It’s a Key Player in Fat Absorption

The lymphatic system absorbs and transports fats and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) from the digestive system into the bloodstream, a process that wouldn’t happen without it!

11. Swollen Lymph Nodes Are a Sign of Immune Activity

When you’re sick, your lymph nodes may swell because they’re working overtime to fight off infections. It’s like a temporary “immune traffic jam.”

12. Your Skin Helps Move Lymph Fluid

The lymphatic system is just beneath the surface of your skin. Gentle techniques like dry brushing or lymphatic massage can help stimulate lymph flow.

13. It Protects You From Cancer Spread

Lymph nodes are often the first line of defense in catching and trapping cancer cells, preventing them from spreading through the body.

14. It Works While You Sleep

While you’re catching Z’s, your lymphatic system is hard at work, removing toxins and waste from tissues, especially in the brain via the glymphatic system.

15. Lymphatic Fluid Can Regrow

If lymphatic vessels are damaged or removed (such as during surgery), other vessels can sometimes adapt and take over the workload, a process known as lymphangiogenesis.

🍃 The Bottom Line

The lymphatic system might work quietly in the background, but its impact on your health is profound. From immune defense to detoxification and fat absorption, it’s a network worth celebrating!
