Essential Oils Workshop 2017

Becca Crawford

Due to popular demand, I am excited to be running more essential oils workshops this year with colleague Lisa Wood. 

This workshop will focus on how to incorporate essential oils into your daily life and includes a “make and take” of 4 products!

From my last round of essential oil workshops I have an efolder full of testimonials on how essential oils have made radical changes in people’s lives:

Soulla, you are amazing....your fast pace of innovative and quality goods and recommendations is overwhelming...we are loving it...and loving essential oils...have done away with soap and moisturiser...I just use body scrub we made at your place now ....I absolutely love it....many thanx. PS love the diffuser too..
— Maria
I LOVED Saturday’s workshop. I feel like I have been opened to a new world. Have already used most of the oils in the kit. And thank you for having me in your beautiful home
— Melissa

I will never hang my hat on any one thing (as there never is one panacea), but since I started using Young Living essential oils daily over the past 2 years I have felt so much calmer, happier, and healthier. My emotions are more on an even keel with fewer lows. My skin is glowing like never before and my kids are so much more chilled out. There’s less fighting, yelling and screaming in my house. I have saved a heap of money on personal care products and household cleaning products that are now redundant. Good stuff, right?



COST IS $90 PER PERSON AND INCLUDES: 

1. Detailed discussion on:

  • What is an essential oil 
  • The difference between a therapeutic vs pure essential oil
  • 12 important questions to ask when choosing an essential oil

  • How essential oils can be effortlessly incorporated into the 8 foundations of health to turbo-charge your health and well-being
  • An overview of 11 specific essential oils and what they can be used for 
  • How to replace toxic substances in your life with essential oils (household cleaning, personal care products and perfumes)
  • How to care for children with essential oils 
  • How to incorporate food-grade essential oils into your food and drinks

2. Hands-on experience in making four products containing essential oils to take home with you:

  • Epsom salt body scrub
  • Mouth wash

3. Organic afternoon tea of Star Anise Organic Wholefoods orange oil infused chocolate coconut balls, peppermint oil herbal tea, activated nuts and filtered water infused with lemon essential oil.

FASCIA RELEASE WORKSHOP 2017

Becca Crawford

Some of you may recall that I ran a few foam rolling workshops a couple years back. I have had such overwhelming positive interest in this area from clients, customers and friends about foam rolling: why do you do it? what is it? how do you do it? I often explain and showcase the benefits of fascia release through foam rolling and rubber balls to my clients in my one on one health coaching sessions and they are blown away by the benefits. I love to move and I love sharing what I know and what has benefited me, so I have teamed up with PT Michael James of Primal Fitness to show you the what, why and hows of releasing fascia in this upcoming workshop.


Since I started fascia release a few years ago this is what I have noticed in my body:
•    My injuries have dramatically reduced
•    My osteo-skeletal issues have minimised
•    My flexibility has improved out of sight despite doing less stretching
•    My recovery after intense interval training has improved
•    I am able to manage and resolve the vast majority of my muscular-skeletal niggles myself

... and, most importantly, when I foam-roll consistently (a few times a week at a minimum) I am pain-free. For someone who spent most of their teens, 20s and 30s in chronic osteo-skeletal pain, I can’t begin to tell you the sheer ecstasy of being pain-free. Moving to a nutrient-dense wholefoods diet, being well hydrated, sitting less, sleeping more, being more mindful, quitting long slow steady-state cardio and simply moving how our bodies are designed to move, all made profound improvements to my ailing health, but fascia release (through foam rolling and rubber balls) has, without a doubt, taken it to the next level. It was the last missing piece of the puzzle in my osteo-skeletal malaise. 


COST STARTS from $70 PERSON 

The cost of the 2 hour workshop is;

- $70 if you bring your own foam roller (short to medium length preferable) and fascia release ball.
- $80 if you bring your own foam roller and we will order a fascia release ball for you to keep AND use in the workshop.
- $110 if you bring your own fascia release ball (e.g. made by Ironedge) and we will order a foam roller for you to keep AND use in the workshop.
- $120 if you do not have your own ball and roller and we will order both of them for you to keep AND use in the workshop.


WHAT YOU WILL GET

•  An explanation of what fascia is, its role in the human body, what causes it to tighten, the consequences of tight fascia, and how to loosen it
•  An explanation of why stretching alone is not enough
•  Practical demonstrations
•  1.5 hours of releasing fascia via foam rolling and fascia release balls
•  Opportunity to ask questions
•  Your very own foam roller and a rubber ball for you to release fascia at home at your convenience (if you don't already own both)!
•  Opportunity to check out a new gym and be given 1 week free unlimited classes!


THIS WORKSHOP IS IDEAL FOR


•  Those who attended one of my earlier workshops and wish to take fascia release to the next level
•  Those who want to take their flexibility and /or athletic performance to the next level
•  Anyone with tight muscles, tight spots, niggling pains, or inflexibility in certain parts of their body (especially mums carry bubs, anyone who carries heavy loads, those who don’t counter all of the forward movements in day to day life, or those feeling tight /constricted in the chest, shoulders and any part of the body)
•  Anyone who enjoys the feeling of being massaged (yes please!) or would love to have a regular massage but might not have the time and/or funds for it
•  Those who feel like they are not getting enough benefit from stretching alone
•  Those who want to learn how to effectively release fascia and iron out tight spots in the comfort of their own home
•  Anyone curious to try something new and have some fun!

Bone Broth Workshops 2017

Becca Crawford

I am excited to be running a series of bone broth workshops. One of my missions in life is to bring this age-old elixir of health back to the modern table. With a vengeance. And a playful twist. 

Home-made stock (aka bone broth) was a staple in all traditional cultures. People of yesterdays ate nose to tail – meaning that the whole of the animal (including the bones, fat and organ meat) was consumed. In fact these ‘odd bits’ were the mostly highly prized part of a kill for our hunter-gatherer ancestors, as they worked out through trial and error over millennia that they were the most nutrient-dense. Today, most people in Western society simply don’t consume home-made broth on a regular basis, either because of lack of information or know-how on where to source or how to prepare broth properly and deliciously. Here’s your opportunity to build strong immunity, robust digestive function and vibrant health for 2017 and beyond by learning how. 

I’ll teach you the ins and outs and everything you need to know about how to make a gelatinous, delicious broth and how to incorporate it in your and your family’s daily diet. 

I have a e-folder full of testimonials about how my bone broth and my broth making workshops changed people lives, like this one:

Hi Soulla, I’ve made a dedicated effort to drink broth every day for the last couple of months and the pain in my arthritic hands has almost gone….It’s a miracle!!
— Sandy Tate

IN THIS WORKSHOP I WILL BE SHOWCASING HOW TO MAKE

  • A basic bone broth (both assembling and straining)
  • Various broth based soups
  • A dessert 
  • A broth-infused smoothie

COST IS $140 PER PERSON AND INCLUDES

  • Detailed 1 hour theory discussion on the nutritional benefits of bone broth, FAQs in making bone broth, where to source bones, how to incorporate it into your day to day life and any precautions in consuming bone broth
  • Detailed workshop booklet including theory, step by step guides & recipes
  • Practical demonstrations
  • Hands-on experience
  • Food tasting that incorporates various types of stock
  • Opportunity to ask questions

THIS WORKSHOP IS IDEAL FOR

  • Those who are interested in making or perfecting their own home-made broth
  • Those who suffer, or have family members who suffer, from low immunity (eg frequent colds, infections) or gut/digestive issues (eg leaky gut, auto-immunity including skin conditions)
  • Anyone who suffers from any osteo-skeletal issues or inflammation
  • Athletes, pregnant or nursing mothers, mothers of young children
  • Those aspiring more vibrant health, glowing hair and skin, resilient immune system and better quality sleep
  • People who routinely make and consume broth but wish to hear more about the nutritional benefits of broth or wish to gain some culinary tips
  • Those who want to try new things and broaden their culinary repertoire
