Being on a spiritual path doesn’t mean you have to keep going until you burn out. It also means looking after yourself, resting, taking time out, and allowing your nervous system to relax.

I don’t have to fit in with someone else’s reality to be loved, in fact, I don’t need to do anything to deserve being loved. I made myself small for years, trying to create a connection that was never going to happen. Now I’m learning to be myself. If you like me, let’s hang out. If not, move right on.

I used to resist change, trying to hold on to what I knew. But change is part of life, and part of being a woman. It means letting go of what we don’t need anymore, and bringing in something new. Yes it can be nerve wracking, but also exhilarating!

Ever since I was young, my impulses were guided not by thought, but by emotional attraction.
I’m not just talking about relationships, but also about deciding what to study, where to hang out, etc.
This has led me to both happy and unhappy situations, all of which have enriched me. I tried to live differently because it seemed more mature, but it didn’t work out for me. Overriding my intuition with thought is not the way forward. Today I am reclaiming my intuition and emotional centre.

Ionic footbaths: an easy way to bring back health into your body.

I'd heard of them, but I wasn't sure they really did anything: the Ionic footbaths. They have a copper element that draws toxins out of your body.

It wasn't until I went to see Rachel Shields at her PHA Pop Up in Oratia that I realised the full extent of what these footbaths can do.

Before my very eyes, I saw the clear water show different shapes and colours, until it looked a bit like, well, a curry gone bad.

After the session, I felt lighter. I felt happier, more relaxed. I'd been struggling to give up coffee, and was able to do so easily. My body started to crave healthier food, exercise. My weight and skin changed. Life felt easier.

It was the answer I'd been looking for, with my high cholesterol, weight gain, hormone imbalances, and general heaviness.

Rachel is so lovely - she talks to you about what it all means, and how it all works. She puts you at ease and helps you understand what you need. She makes you excited about the changes you're wanting to bring about for yourself.

Rachel also combines this treatment with Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), a modality that uses the brain to reprogram itself. This is very helpful for people with anxiety and trauma.

I've had several sessions of NLP with Rachel and I've been amazed at how easily, and fast, we managed to turn things around. One of those was the release of old trauma that held me back - I felt the difference after one session, and it was gone after two.

Sometimes we need to find the light inside. Good news is, it’s always there.
