Hi!
If you've been following me on this blog's Facebook or Instagram accounts, you'll know that after 4 long years of slogging, I've done all my final exams and handed in my clinic portfolio... and about to qualify as a nutritional therapist. Woohoo! Exciting stuff! Everyone's already been...
Read More"Meditation" or "mindfulness" or the combination of both "mindfulness meditation" seem to be the buzz words these days. What is it? Why should you care? How do you begin? Let's get down to the...
Read MoreAll too often, I see people starting off with the best intentions of having a "healthy breakfast", only to pile their bowls with too much of one thing and not enough of another.

You can really feel the changing seasons...
Read MoreThe past few months have been kind of intense - between work, studying for final exams for 2nd year of naturopathy school, writing a final paper and dealing with relationship stuff, I've barely been keeping my head above water. It's always in busy and stressful times when it's all too easy to...
Read MoreI've just returned from a one-week holiday in Portugal - staying in a beautiful house in the mountains in Malveira da Serra, near Sintra, and heading to the beach everyday at Cascais.
