Electro-Magnetic Field (EMF) sensitivity – Insights & Tips.
Posted on Sep 3rd 2023
Where would we be without a mobile phone and, for many people, Fitbits or smart watches? These devices make life easier and can be beneficial to our wellbeing if used to monitor steps, heart rate or sleep patterns for example. Naturally, mobiles can save lives as we can call emergency services pretty much from anywhere, anytime. However, have you ever wondered what effect the constant exposure to these devices may have on your body, underlying systems and your overall health? Invisible to the human eye, we are literally surrounded by Electro-Magnetic Fields (EMFs) – they can be of natural origin (the Earth has its own magnetic field) or, man-made. There are a vast range ...

Generating a sense of freedom within.
Posted on Nov 24th 2022
As part of the mantra series on my social media channels, I recently shared one of my favourite ones - I am free. The concept of generating a sense of freedom comes up frequently with clients in their kinesiology sessions, often accompanied by specific essential oils or flower essences. Take a moment to repeat “I am free.” – do this a few times, how does it resonate if you say it, think it and feel into it? What does it mean to you to be free?I recently worked with a young gentleman who felt very restricted and controlled. After speaking about this in more detail and agreeing that ...

Balance & Wellbeing - Maintaining a strong auric field.
Posted on Jun 3rd 2022
Our auric field or aura is an extension of ourselves. In essence, it is an energetic field that surrounds our body consisting of several layers; these subtle bodies connect each into our physical body via energy centres (chakras). In Traditional Chinese Medicine the aura is referred to as the Wei Chi Field.There are many aspects that can contribute to a weak auric field or throwing our aura (us) out, such as stressful experiences, traumatic events, travelling on a plane or a medical procedure/ surgery. There can be individual triggers such as a specific person, a place, even a song – we may or may not be aware of these triggers, often they are ...
Vision, focus and perspective.
Posted on May 17th 2022
Our sight is an important sense – it aids our daily life and enables us to see, do and experience so many incredible things. It is not without reason that the eyes are seen as the windows to the Soul, they indeed can reflect how we are feeling – physically, mentally and emotionally. If we had a bad night’s sleep, had a stressful day/ experience or spend too much time on devices and in front of computer screens, it is likely that our eyes are feeling the effects – they might get tired, itchy and dry, look dull and we might feel the need to rub them frequently. Sound familiar?Interestingly, we don&...

What are you choosing to make time for?
Posted on Sep 23rd 2021
|| You will never "find" time for anything. If you want time, you must make it. ~Charles Buxton ~Have you ever looked at one of your holiday pictures and thought – ahhh how amazing was this, I must pencil in a break again - and then time goes by, something else seems to always take priority and you just don’t seem to get around to it?Of course, since the pandemic, the landscape for planning a trip away has dramatically changed. However, I’m not only referring to a holiday - what about all those other times when we denied ourselves the opportunity to experience what truly lights us up?I&...
The Value of Grounding.
Posted on Aug 25th 2021
How good does the ground feel on your bare feet?I took this photo when visiting the Crystal Castle as part of my June wellness trip in 2021. I jumped at the chance to let my feet breathe and walk on this uneven stone surface, massaging the soles of my feet and associated reflex zones while mindfully circling the massive rose quartz crystal placed in the middle of the area.It was a perfect opportunity to combine two very powerful grounding practices – focusing on the feet and being present in the body while being literally connected to the Earth.Life can be oh so amazing and by the same token, demanding and busy. We tend ...

Posted on Jul 23rd 2021
When I stayed at Gaia Retreat & Spa in June 2021 (a reward to myself), I had the pleasure of spending time in this beautiful space, starting my day with yoga while soaking up the peaceful vibes and stunning views.Yoga has been a constant companion in my life, in fact I studied yoga and taught for a while (now 18+ years ago). Whenever I practice, I find a feeling of deep groundedness, connection and flow.At Gaia, the class began with laying down to consciously connect with our body and, our breath, using breathing techniques to activate the Vagus Nerve, which is often referred to as the healing nerve - it calms our system and switches ...
