By The Way How Do I Dry Body Brush?

body brushings

Hi Guys, thought I might just do a quick overview on the correct way to dry brush. I get asked this question almost every week so I think it must be something people are unsure about. For best results brush your skin when it is dry, because plant bristles exfoliate dry skin best when they are dry, if plant bristles are wet, they become soft and clump together and you don’t get the same results Use upward strokes on the body, in one direction always stroking towards the major lymph nodes in the groin, armpits and base of neck. You

Fashion Week Trends and how to wear them in your everyday life

trends101

OK so NEON is hot, it is very ‘in’ right now, and so are floral and tribal prints, cutouts and tailoring…. but seriously how on earth are you supposed to incorporate all of these trends in your everyday life? I have just returned from fashion week and have seen all of the above trends dominating the runways, but for many [all!] of us updating our closets with the latest trends is difficult when it comes to real life. It can be overwhelming, expensive and time consuming – BUT – it doesn’t have to be. 1. Incorporate just one trend into

Why do organic products cost more?

Tom_Organic_Products_0032

For many people choosing organic simply makes sense, whether it’s what goes into our bodies, onto our bodies or cleans our living spaces, we shouldn’t have to compromise by using chemicals and yet sometimes we hesitate. Why? Because it’s more expensive. So why do organics cost more? The higher cost of organic products represents the true cost of growing high quality chemical free products – while many of these costs are the same for organic and conventional products (like growing, harvesting, transportation and storage), organically produced items must meet strict regulations every step of the way – which means more

Creating a Birth Plan Part 4 – The Family

family laughing

In the gentle time that follows a lot can happen that we are hardly aware of. It is the belief of some people that the procedures and policies that surround a new family in the hours and days after a birth are not always as supportive and nourishing as they should be. The more I birth with families in a hospital environment the more place I see for a separate post natal birth plan, one to protect your baby and your family. The delivery of the placenta often goes unnoticed due to the excitement of the arrival however its timing

Importance of Probiotics for Babies, Infants as well as Mothers-To-Be.

42-19657616

A recent study in Italy found that supplementing with probiotics reduced symptoms of colic in 95 percent of infants who participated.  A similar Swedish study found that probiotics reduced crying time in colicky infants. Researchers in Finland have concluded that probiotics administered to infants reduced the incidence of respiratory illness. Other research indicates that probiotic supplements given to pre-term infants may promote weight gain. Starting Life With a Compromised Gut Babies inherit gut flora from their mother via the birth canal. If the mother has gut imbalances, so will baby. The balance of flora in babies’ guts plays a crucial

What Confident, Happy, Peaceful People Show Us!

200429183-001

Have you ever felt intimated by someone whom you feel is incredible at what they do, powerful, strong, intelligent, attractive, successful, joyful, confident? That person is a mirror of you. That person is reflecting aspects of your very own self to you. Everyone is a reflection of an aspect of yourself. So when you feel intimidated by someone you admire, it is a great indicator that you are intimated by your own greatness! Step out of the intimidation cloud and say Yes to your brilliant self!! The fact that you see greatness in someone else SHOWS that you see greatness

To Mothers with Love

mothers day

On Mother’s Day the world recognizes and honors the role of motherhood.  We celebrate the women who choose to bear humanity’s next generation and to love them, guide them and protect them throughout life.  These women create a foundation of stability for their families and in turn the world community.  Mothers are precious beings who love with every fiber of their being.  All the while they juggle day to day responsibilities while shaping young lives and preparing their children to live a heart-centered life, fulfilling life. In the midst of busy days filled with duties Mother’s often place their needs

Caring for our carers

sb10069455cc-001

Last week, I unexpectedly found myself spending 48 hours in the Short Stay Emergency Department of Cairns Base Hospital. I had Bursitis (Tennis Elbow) in my right arm, which became inflamed and infected and turned into a very nasty case of Cellulitis (a potentially dangerous skin infection caused by bacteria). It confirmed two things for me. 1) Hospital food is an inedible, non-nutritious atrocity, and 2) our nurses are underpaid, overworked, underappreciated and utterly taken for granted. The nurses I encountered were incredible. They were cheery, thorough, understanding, compassionate and brave. Of course, there were one or two grumps, but

Pilates exercise on your holiday

Pilates Moon

You have spent the last few months preparing for your upcoming holiday, but you don’t want all that hard work go to waste (or the delicious food and drinks go to your waist!). I often get asked to give people exercise workouts to do on holiday or whilst they are away from their normal routine. So what can you do on holiday to help keep you looking and feeling your best? Make an effort to do at least 20-30mins each day of physical activity, whether its a walk or run on the treadmill, hiking, surfing, yoga or of course, Pilates.
