It’s a bit scary to launch something like this - what if I don’t make my money back, what if it’s a flop, what if nobody likes it…. But hey I’m gonna try my best and do it anyway.

I’ve got 40 copies available at the clinic (should I sign them?) or you can order it direct from Amazon as ebook or paperback.
Pretty please buy a copy and leave me a review on Amazon so that I can reach a bigger audience!
Interested in wholesaling? Let me know 🥰

It’s a work in progress, here’s where I’m up to.
I had to split the video in two because I talked too much. A bit like I do in my book perhaps?

Come with me to the Melbourne International flower and garden show!
In March I headed down to gather inspiration for my own garden, and to bring some ideas back for you, in regards to being water wise but also including medicinal herbs in a small garden and making your garden work for your mood, boosting that dopamine.
The biggest takeaway? You don’t need a big garden, or a separate “herb patch” to make this happen. Even a balcony or a single pot counts

Ways to be water wise in your garden:
• mulch generously to hold moisture in soil
• water deeply and less often, rather than a little every day.
• Choose plants suited to your climate and create microclimates within your garden
• Shape your garden so water flows to where it’s actually needed.
• Try wicking beds which water plants from below

Medicinal and culinary herbs worth weaving in:
• lemon balm for calm and digestion support
• Calendula for lymphatic support, skin health and vulnerary use
• Echinacea is typically used for immune health but you use the root, so it’s good mostly to look at unless you want to dig it all up
• globe artichoke for liver and gallbladder support, plus it’s stunning to look at in bloom
• turmeric and ginger for inflammation and digestion
• borage - generally calming and a the pollinators will thank you

And a bonus to gardening: getting your hands in healthy soil exposes you to microbes that can stimulate serotonin levels, improving your mood.

I came home with a lot of inspiration and ideas, I’ve already included some of these plants into my garden and my next project is underway, building some wicking beds which I will share with you soon.

I’ve got a new tool in clinic - a pneumatic compression suit.

Compression therapy is something you can use for supporting lymphatic drainage, muscle recovery, circulation support and it is generally lovely for nervous system health (apparently it mimics the feeling of compression from being in the womb, also why weighted blankets feel so nice).

I’ve made the investment to get a pneumatic compression device to enhance the effects of lymphatic massage, something I do quite a bit of in clinic, and for my patients who have used it so far in clinic they’re loving it.

You can use this by itself but ideally it’s an add on for manual lymphatic drainage massage.
It’s like a suit that you put on, it gets plugged in and then air pressure applies segmental pressure along the area we’re targeting (legs /hips/ waist / arms) for about 20-30 minutes
