‘I really believe that the people who are working within the system are doing their absolute best to provide really beautiful care for their clients, their patients and the people in there, but looking outside of those systems allows us to look at human beings as whole and find them new resources and ways to be able to do things. And it takes them out of the need for just the diagnostic and the label and it looks at them as a wholistic whole person.’ Lynn Rane A gypsy at heart Lynn Rane is one e...

Make sure you follow her as she is someone who delivers her message with heart and soul. As we age and our hormones shift, many women start to notice that their skin changes.

As we come to the end of a big year for many, it can be incredibly insightful to reflect on the year that was and set intentions for the year ahead. Here are some beautiful questions to contemplate and take some time over the next few days to consider. Happy New Year! If there was one word to describe this year it would be… The things I did do that I wanted to do… The things I didn’t do that I wanted to… The biggest defining moment of my year and what it taught me… The things that most challenge...

There are times when we all need to take refuge from our busy lives so we can soothe, relax, rebalance and re-energise our tired bodies. And Christmas is no different. Whilst we can dream of booking into a resort or spa and indulging in all kinds of treatments, time and or money can be an issue so why not create your own home spa as a practical and rejuvenating alternative. Here are some simple and highly effective home spa ideas. Get yourself a large stainless steel bowl Two large marbles to ma...

‘So really, the key difference with transcendental meditation is we’re not trying to control the mind, or concentrate, or visualise or be mindful of our thoughts. And all these things activate the mind to some extent. And that’s why if you’ve got a really busy mind or you’re very anxious, it’s really hard to do those techniques. Now an analogy that’s often used when we talk about Transcendental Meditation is to think of the mind as being a bit like the ocean. We can have a lot of turbulence on t...

Behaviour refers to what you think as well as what you say and do – what you consciously get up to. All of your behaviour actually has a purpose and a positive intention at that (even the bad habits)! In this week’s Quicky we look at a series of questions you could ask if you need to change your behaviours to get the results you want. Change at the behavioural level is easier to make when you have a real sense of purpose that fits with your sense of identity, beliefs and values. Go for behaviour...

Working on oneself is a lifelong commitment. Mastering oneself takes a conscious commitment and dedication that allows an individual to break through sabotaging, limiting beliefs and focus on what is truly important to live the life they truly deserve. Liz Sefton and Kimberly Steele share this week what they observed in seeing a group of amazing souls graduate from the Essential Self-Mastery Program last month. Their insights are both insightful and inspiring. I could not thank Liz and Kimberly ...

Our bodies are designed to work with nature. There is a natural synergy that allows our bodies to better absorb and utilise nature’s ingredients.

In this weeks Quicky we look at a few amazing ingredients to treat your skin like these: Manuka honey, plant and nut oils, rosehip oil, calendula, shea butter, kelp extract, witch hazel...

‘There’s the concept of allostatic load so what we know is that chronic pain becomes basically a nervous system issue, your nervous system can get really ramped up and get really good at expressing pain beyond what it needs to. We know that things like lack of sleep, our emotions, allergies, anything else that is going to increase our inflammatory load or put stress on our system is actually going to increase our pain. So, I think as physio’s when we are dealing with pain whether it be acute pai...

Change is a journey between where you are and where you will be. In NLP we express that as the journey between the present state and the desired state. If you do not have what you want in your life, it is because the path is blocked by an issue or problem – perhaps a habit you want to change. It is in this space we get to uncover the programs you are running and help you reprogram the unconscious mind to change that behaviour. The instruction to change comes from your conscious mind, but it is t...

‘Hormones and genetics are really a small, small part of it. I now know after a long, long time, that the nervous system is so closely related, it is unbelievable. Our gut function is even more closely related. You know we have 12 systems in our body and when one is out, it has a domino effect on the rest. And so, you really can’t look at skin as just what we see here, although that’s obviously what you said we care about the most. Skin really is more than that. I really believe in treating the ...

‘I just got so disheartened seeing people get so confused and there’s so much green washing and so much marketing… people, clients of mine would go out trying to take on what we’ve done in a session, and they would think that they were doing the right thing and they came back and I’m like oh so close, so close. And they’d just slightly miss the mark, and then just watching their face, I was just like this is not ok. So yeah, I decided to create Jivita which is an online platform for all organic ...

As the debate on the quality of essential oils rises, it is important we do not get caught up in stories, or well meaning sellers, or a brand war. What we need to know is that essential oils are sourced from all around the world based on the best geographical locations for the plants to grow. It is also important to note that there are only so many producers of each essential oil worldwide and in many cases a lot of brands procure their oils from the same suppliers as other essential oils compan...

What happens if we actually recognised at the point of things starting to go a little pear-shaped, that we got curious then?” Dr Nat Kringoudis It’s almost like we are taught to grow up hating on our hormones, or blaming our hormones for all of the issues that cause discomfort or displeasure.

“My nickname for many many many years professionally from one of my managers a lifetime ago, she said to me, ‘You are marshmallow covered steel!’ I love that! I talk very much about that ability to be a brave leader, but a brave leader with heart. So I think it’s balancing the authenticity of who we are as women and being proud of that. I think as a woman, when I sit at a board table and I’m the only woman you know, on a very senior team, I am proud of what I bring to the table. Of the diversity...

‘I firmly believe nothing is ever lost or nothing is ever wasted in life that we go through. And I think by hitting rock bottom, and pulling myself out of it, it has shown me just exactly what I am actually capable of. I think it’s the darker parts of being human, that when we are brave enough, and we have the courage to go there and then move through it and pull ourselves out of it, it actually shows us the capacity we have as a human being. And that’s what I learnt. But I think we also actuall...
