Signs that stress is hiding in your body
Stress is an inevitable part of life, but what happens when it quietly takes over your body without your awareness? Many of us are so accustomed to being “busy” and “switched on” all the time that we overlook the subtle signs our bodies give us when stress becomes too much. Left unaddressed, this hidden stress can lead to physical discomfort, emotional imbalance, hormonal imbalances and long-term health challenges. -
Understanding the common links between Long COVID and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
The prolonged fatigue, mental fog, and overall sense of unwellness seen in individuals with Long COVID share a remarkable resemblance to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). Both conditions are characterised by persistent symptoms that defy conventional explanations and may linger for months, if not years.

Welcoming Maga - The Autumn Stage of a Woman's Life

Lets make 2024 the year to embrace wellness
For most of us 2023 has been a year of surviving and not thriving as we have come out of our COVID years with a lot of uncertainty, fear and caution. What used to serve us in the past no longer cuts it for us now.
Most of us have embraced our rediscovered freedom and have travelled again, enjoyed celebrating with our friends and family at restaurants and live concerts. Some of us have already begun rebooting our health journey and searching for more in the natural health space to satisfy their curiosity.
This is quiet natural for women who are in their Autumn years, our perimenopausal years. Some fear this time of our lives and some are really embracing this transition into menopause - our Winter years and then post menopause - our second Spring.

Detoxing isn't a dirty word if you do it correctly.
Detoxification is the body's natural process of eliminating toxins and waste to keep you feeling your best. This is done by our lymphatic system (spleen, thymus and lymph nodes) along with our livers, lungs and kidneys. But sometimes, our bodies can use a little extra support to handle the challenges of modern living. It is important to seek the help and assistance of a naturopath as we have been trained through our degrees to support a healthy way of detoxing.
