It's migraine awareness month.

Women with endometriosis have so many 'other' things they have to contend with.
People often just think it's pelvic pain or heavy menstruation and have no idea about
🩸 headache/migraine
💧and all the challenges such as IBS, fatigue, pain, cognitive fatigue, anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance ... disruption in work, social life, exercise, recreation, hobbies, self care ..

I had a brilliant weekend learning the art and science of Five Element Acupressure for the 8 Extraordinary Vessels with John Kirkwood.

Incredibly this course marks 10 years of studying with John. After my first course with him in Adelaide I invited him to come to Perth. He's been providing training in Perth every year since!

I've been working with extraordinary vessels for many years, from previous training with John, but this more comprehensive weekend has deepened my knowledge.

These wondrous channels provide access for healing at profoundly deep levels.

Thanks John 🙏🏻

“The meaning of life… clearly has to do with love — what and whom and how one can love.”

When I'm not treating patients, my working day also involves helping with running the business.

Having this amazing admin team makes it so much easier.

🙏🏻 Thanks so much for all you do for our patients and therapists.

We had a lovely lunch yesterday!
It turned out to be a bit of a ladies lunch as Jonathan Wray couldn't make it.

Some of my favorite slides from today's incredibly relevant conference presented by BioMedica Nutraceuticals

Metabolic Health: connecting chronic illness with longevity.

When did self care become something we needed to add to our "to do" list?

SELF Care is foundational to good health

✨Sleep and rest
✨Exercise and activity
✨Loving life and living meaningfully
✨Feasting on healthy food & socializing

Integrating these with the latest research into nutritional and herbal medicine for GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) a naturally occurring gut hormone that regulates blood sugar and appetite; and other body hormones and systems is going to be game changer for
~ Less Pain
~ Weight management
~ Increased energy
~ Cardiovascular health
~

Generally feeling great and enjoying a good life!!!!

Inspired by the rain! Doing is one of the pillars of occupation alongside being, belonging and becoming.
**DB3 model**

When it comes to creating change in your pain experience, the ultimate is to be able to live a meaningful life.

'What' we do, and 'how' we do it, impacts pain messaging in a positive (pain reducing) or negative (pain producing) way.

Occupational therapists help you identify what activities are most important and how to do them in a way that moves you towards better pain management.

I did say patients don't always report a reduction in pain. What I meant to add is that when they start 'doing' more of what matters in life, then the pain starts to reduce!!

(I speak without a script)

I also refer to neuroplasticity but there's so much more that goes into the "pain pot"
- immunity, endocrine/hormonal, psychological, social, cultural, spiritual - that influences our adaptability.

So I hope you're enjoying the rain ☔ and feeling revitalized from it.

Are fractals impacting your life?

Natural Medicine Week begins today!
One aspect of natural medicine that is most appealing to me is enabling people to maintain their own health. Herbal teas are a safe and effective way of doing this.

Introducing NamasTe ~
Naturopathically formulated by Emma Chapman-Sharp from these herbal teas are for body, mind and soul.

Why is tea drinking so good for you aside from the medicinal properties of these herbal formulations?
~ the ritual of making a cup of tea is relaxing
~ whether drinking on your own or with another this is a moment to just be; reflect and tune into yourself
~ hormonal regulation occurs when women sit together

It's the opposite of a fast paced pill popping uncertain world!

We also have green tea, spicy chai, Daintree black tea and earl grey.

NamasTe 🙏🏻

Teaming up with Emma has meant my dream of having a herbal tea range has become a reality!

🫖The truth is I first conceptualized this tea range 20 years ago! This is when the name NamasTe was inspired, with medicinal herbal teas such as...
DigesTe for digestion
TranquiliTe for relaxation
SereniTe for a gentle lift in energy

Achieving goals can be slow.
It can feel that "Life gets in the way" and there are many barriers. But sometimes they just happen when the time is right.✨

Thanks Em for your beautiful formulations.
Thanks for your help with packaging.
Thanks for your endless support.
