Vibrant health starts in the home

Guest User

 

I’m an ordinary girl on an extraordinary mission to inspire and empower as many people as I can to lead a less toxic and more nourishing  and conscious life – in all areas of their life – starting in their home. I believe that vibrant health starts in your home. It starts with the food, personal care products and cleaning products that you bring into your home.  Your home is where you spend most of your time and your home is really the only place that you largely can control.

Prompted by a health crisis, I started my health journey over 2 decades ago by focusing on the food I was eating and swapping out the dietary toxins along with the mainstream dogma that has caused an epidemic of chronic illness and degenerative disease. I soon realised (as one door opened another door) that toxins weren’t just found our food system…they were lurking in the personal care products I was using on my and my babies’ skin and in the cleaning products I was spraying all over the house. They were in the sunscreen I was plastering all over my body, the make-up I was coating all over my face and the perfumes and air fresheners I was spraying. 

Despite what the manufactures or the powers that be might say, scientific evidence clearly shows that dietary toxins (including refined sugars, refined starches, industrial seed oils, and artificial additives) and environmental toxins (including PEGS, SLS, synthetic fragrances, synthetic colours, phthalates, aluminium, oxybenzone etc), are of genuine concern with wide ranges health consequences. Children are the most vulnerable as their systems are much smaller. These toxins in the products that line our supermarket and pharmacy shelves have been allowed to ubiquitously infiltrate our lives, our bodies and the planet in the name of commerce and we consumers are paying the price. We are paying with our health!

The sobering light bulb moment came for me when I realized that just because something is allowed to be sold or is ubiquitously used doesn’t make it safe!! And that’s when I realized that I need to become more independent in my health care, do my own due diligence (because no one else is going to do it for me), and to take personal responsibility for my own health. This is my job and my job alone. No one else can do it for me.

Unsurprisingly, when I took this level of personal responsibility, that’s when I was able to reverse all of my and my family’s health issues.  I consciously engaged in lifestyle choices that genuinely aligned with our wise biology, and avoided those that undermined it. And I sought out, and attracted, a solid tribe of supportive like-minded people which makes the journey even more rich and delicious. 

My wish for you is to reclaim your power as individuals – to feel more empowered and independent in your health care. We are indeed at the threshold of a massive paradigm shift in global consciousness. Sometimes it takes, as it did for me, a personal health crisis to be your wake-up call and sometimes it takes a global health crisis. And maybe for you it’s a bit of both. 

So whether you’re at the very start of your health and wellness journey or part way through or maybe you’re looking for a community of like-minded souls, I invite you to join me at one or both of my next workshops where you can learn, appreciate and focus  on just how much power and influence you really can have over your health - physically, emotionally and spiritually: 

  1. To kick the chemicals in your personal care products and cleaning products in a positive, empowering and super simple way and to become more independent in your health care by being your family’s alchemist and healer - join me at my next free The Essentials zoom webinar Tuesday 26 May 7-9pm. Book here!

  2. To clean up your diet, understand the fundamental of robust nutrition and robust gut health and to enjoy a long term sustainable traditional wholefoods dietary approach that has served our ancestors for Millenia-  join me at my next Food as Medicine talk via zoom webinar on Saturday 1 August 9am- 2pm co-presented with Australia’s leading holistic dietician Marieke Rodenstein. This is a comprehensive talk that sets you up for life that also covers the topics in 1 above. To learn what is covered and the tremendous amount of information, material and online cooking classes you get as part of this talk,  click here.  Note - the 26 May Food as Medicine talk is fully booked and places are already filling fast for 1 August so booked fast to avoid disappointment.

I’m fired up more than ever before to inspire and empower as many people as I can to BECOME AS INDEPENDENT AS POSSIBLE IN THEIR HEALTH CARE. Now more than ever it is imperative that we strive to be the healthiest possible versions of ourselves so that we can feel empowered, fearless, and resilient.

Join me at my next FREE monthly Essential Oil 101 workshop. Learn why Young Living essential oils are a powerful must-have tool in my health tool box (right up there with nutrient dense food, pure water, sunshine, sleep, positive mindset and strong community support) and why so many people globally are turning to them for support at an unprecedented rate.

In this information-packed no-nonsense 2 hour webinar (run monthly) you will learn why every home needs YL oils and oil infused products.

In particular you will learn:

1. how YL oils can powerfully defend and protect to build strong resilience

2.  how to use YL oils as your first port of call wellness cabinet to become pharmacy-free and chemical-free as nature intended (this is game-changing as a mum especially when woken at 2am!) 

3. how the YL oils nourish the microbiome and do not affect essential beneficial bacteria (unlike the slew of toxic “anti bacterial” products on the market that wreak havoc on our microbiome and the planet)

4. how to healthy swap ALL conventional personal care products and household cleaning products to create a less toxic home and world for our children to grow up in

5. why I exclusively use YL oils over all other brands, what makes them unique, why they are the only brand that can genuinely call themselves therapeutic-grade and why they are world leaders in the oils movement

6. How to use YL oils and oil infused products to take your and your kids physical and emotional health to the next level so that you feel positive and empowered 💪🏻👊🏻 

You’ll also get a glimpse of the benefits of being a part of my supportive community in terms of continuing education, wealth of online resources at your fingertips, and personalised support.

Food as Medicine talk: 1 August via zoom webinar – tickets on sale now!

Guest User

 

Following my SOLD OUT Food as Medicine talk on 23 May 2020 I am holding another on SAT 1 AUGUST via zoom webinar so you can attend from the comfort of your own home – wherever that may be. 

My co-presenter is Marieke Rodenstein - Australia’s pre eminent holistic dietician, GAPS practitioner and staunch advocate of organic & regenerative farming practices and traditional wholefoods. We have been touring Australia for over 1 year to spread our message that food is still the most powerful medicine. We think it is now more important than ever before that people focus on improving their health and building strong immunity and resilience naturally

We are excited that people are finally seeing robust health as a necessity and not as a luxury though many are still confused as to how to achieve this. This is where we come in and explain the fundamentals of robust nutrition and robust gut health to clear the confusion and set you on a stellar path towards robust health. 

Adopting a nutrient-dense traditional wholefoods diet is still the single most important step you can take to improve and maintain your health. Addressing the other lifestyle factors or pillars of health that we will discuss will further bolster your health and resilience.

Because a delicious wholefoods lunch can not be provided as we do in our in person talks, instead I will be gifting each participant up to 5 of my online cooking classes (retailing at $79 each) so that you can learn how to make your own bone broth, slow cooks, organ meat meals, chocolate and GF baked cakes in your home (that’s $395 worth of cooking classes for free!!!!). As I’ve always argued, cooking and preparing your own nourishing meals at home is the fastest, most profound (and cheapest) way to vibrant health. Now that we are eating out less and forced to eat in more (whether we want to or not!) home cooking is taking on greater importance in our lives and knowing how to master the wholefoods staples is essential.

As part of the talk (9am-2pm) you will receive a comprehensive 63 page Food as Medicine how-to manual that sets you up for life with all of the information covered in the talk including shopping lists, healthy swap table, list of recommended holistic practitioners, meal formulas, and practical how to etc.

Tickets will sell out fast so book early to avoid disappointment.
