Autumn is for elderberry syrup…. And while I usually make up fresh batches for my sick clients when the need arises, I have now decided to sell the ingredients on a perfect little premix packet, so you can make your own!! Why?? One, because it fills your home with the most divine smell when you’re making it and I wanted to share the joy!! Two, because it’s delicious and nutritious and amazing for immunity, not only once you’re sniffling and spluttering, but can also be very helpful to boost your immunity before you get sick. Thirdly, because with the rising prices of everything, I can make it for you, but the DIY kit can make up to 700ml and I’m selling it for the same price that I sell a 200ml bottle for. So definitely a bargain! All you need is a pot, some honey, and a bottle! Local peeps can pop in any time to grab some or posting is available! ❤️

I am so blessed to have just done my fourth time catering a retreat run by my incredible friend and colleague . Working on this retreat with Lis, I literally have to pinch myself to remember that this is what I get to do as job!!! Cooking delicious, nourishing, organic food, in a setting where I feel so valued and appreciated for what I do. Cooking for people like for me, creates an energetic cycle where by I feel as nourished by what I do, as the group of people who I’m nourishing!! And that’s why I have to pinch myself to remind myself that it’s work, as I walk away feeling so incredibly energised and filled with joy. The other thing that makes my work more enjoyable than work is expected to be…. Is the setting in which I do my cooking!! Few places have been as magical as the venue where Lis runs her retreats! Working at .house makes me kind of forget I’m working and makes me feel more like I’m on holiday! This time I had the pleasure of meeting the owner of the house who popped in to say hi, and it was wonderful to see that this magnificent place belongs to someone so lovely who clearly is responsible for so much of the magical energy of this venue! Anyway, this is just a little gratitude post and a shout out to if your looking for a beautiful healing retreat and a shoutout to .house if you’re looking for a venue for a retreat or small event and a shoutout to me!!! And my niche little catering business, that caters for special events where good food and good energy is highly valued ❤️🤩🙏

I had a catering job on the weekend and of course the minute I started prepping a couple of days before, I burnt my finger in the most inopportune place. Not a terrible burn by any means but so sore and it blistered instantly and then while spending the next few days with my hands either submerged in water or carrying heavy things that rubbed against my burn, it got pretty nasty. After cleaning up after the job, I cleaned my finger and applied some comfrey cream, that I always have in my bag!! I wish I had a before shot of my burn, but I don’t. You’ll just have to believe me that after two days of applying the cream, the skin has completely healed over and there is barely a hint of the raw, skinless little burn that it was!!! If you work with your hands and always have pesky little wounds like me, you have to carry my comfrey cream around in your bag!!! It should be compulsory 😝 it’s hand made with love from fresh comfrey, organic olive oil and raw bees wax…. And it WORKS!!! ❤️

This year I’ll be focusing on in my clinic and that has inspired me to expand my line, to include men’s products. So much has been said about the health risks of all the chemicals found in skincare products for women, but not as much has been said about men. Obviously, men use fewer products but the products they do use can be extremely harmful for their mental, hormonal and metabolic health. ‘Tradies hands’ isn’t just for tradies, it’s an indulgent all purpose body and face balm to nourish and protect the skin, with an all natural irresistible, masculine scent. ‘Apres Soleil’ is not specifically for men but its light texture and summery scent is perfect for slathering on after a long hot day after the beach, or playing sport. While my delicious coffee and cardamom scrub is perfect for ingrown facial or body hairs. It’s also amazing for armpit health, scrubbing away unwanted smells and nourishing and detoxing the area. The biggest toxic offenders for men, are generally deodorants, colognes and shampoos. While I don’t personally make low tox versions of those, in my 6 month men’s health package, we address all kinds of low tox options and alternatives that will significantly transform men’s health on all levels. So if you know a man, or love a man, or are a man….. message me to order some beautiful for men and help me spread the love!

Why I don’t prescribe ‘Vitamin D’…. While there is mounting evidence to suggest that most chronic diseases are associated with vitamin D deficiency, and vitamin D deficiency has reached epidemic proportions, especially in Australia, as a naturopath I don’t prescribe vitamin D supplements. I prescribe sun! While supplements might raise your serum levels in blood tests, there is so much we don’t know about how vitamin is converted from the sun and utilised in the body. It would be arrogant to think that we could bottle what the sun, one of the biggest and most magical forces of nature provides! Raising serum vitamin D artificially might trick us into thinking we have solved the problem but might also leave us still deficient in many of the functions that sunlight on our skin provides. Vitamin D supplements are synthetic goop, suspended in toxic seed oils and other nasty additives. No matter the season, or our skin colour or type, our bodies have the remarkable power to synthesise vitamin D from the sun. Don’t fear the sun! Do avoid getting burnt to a crisp, do be sensible, but don’t avoid the sun. It is key for well being, vitality, energy and life force! HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SUMMER ☀️ 🌺 💛 ☀️

I’ve been brewing up a storm in the range. I’m old school. I make small batches. And when I say small, I mean small!! Batches of 30, or 20 or 10. Or 4, or sometimes even one! My largest beaker is 1 litre and my smallest 100ml!! My skin care products are part of my herbal medicine practice and so my aim isn’t to have a bigger skin care line, or produce them commercially. My aim is to continue to make small batch skincare for people who need nourishing, healing, preservative and other nasty toxin free products. I started making creams for my son who had very sensitive skin and terrible eczema. I played around till I found things that worked. Then I did the same for some of my clinic clients and I loved it so much I decided to make skin care for myself that met my own standards of nourishing, delicious and organic. And ‘goddess’ was born. I gave a few away as gifts and I had some customers for life! My products are mainly based on pure Australian organic olive oil that is sourced from . My bee products, are clean and local, from a bee keeper whose bees roam in pristine forests a few hours from Sydney. I make most of my own herbal infusions from organic or wild crafted herbs. I only make products I would use on my own skin…. And I only use products on my own skin that I make 😝 I often make small sample pots when I make new batches as I love letting people try before they buy in case they are sensitive to any of the ingredients. I hate the thought of a bigger pot being wasted. Besides my signature goddess balm and serum, I have ‘tradies hands’ the male equivalent of goddess. I have babies bum, and , , and . I have a most decadent coffee and cardamon scrub and for summer I also have a super light and nourishing body balm called ‘apres soleis’. And of course if you hit me up with a challenge, I can make a little pot of magic, just for you!
