The human body and our minds are so amazing!!
Forever fascinated with putting things back together after they have been pulled apart has led me on a few interesting adventures and career paths but they have always been working with people (whether I liked it or not.....)
As a result of such a natural curiosity I found myself learning all I could about the way in which the body moves, functions and performs - thinking I might be a good doctor I explored and participated in the modern medical field, however my own experiences during this time led me to a more alternate path. One of Nutritional medicine, Ayurveda and Ayurvedic medicine, Naturopathy, Human function and movement, Energetics and Epigenetics (totally opposite studies but to me intertwined), Aromatherapy, Metaphysics, Herbalism, Neural pathway mapping and programing and so much more.
Studying, researching and reading diversely means I can listen to the words that come out of your mouth about how you and your body feel and then I can listen to the words that your system tells me about how it feels and line them up.
I believe in working for a common goal and I openly work with any other practitioners that currently support you with your consent, knowing that if you have a strong support team you will have better outcomes.
In the end it means a tailored approach that may use body work, may use coaching and talking and may use deep relaxation techniques and natural remedies to reach the desired goal.
In most cases that desired goal is the dream of a pain free, flexible body operated by a happy, healthy mind and operator (AKA the best version of YOU)!!
Well this is me
Given this is my website and you probably don't know me because, let's face it, unless you live with someone full time you actually don't know that much about them at all - and even then you may still not.......
So for those who are interested - this is me - this picture was a selfie taken in 2021 after one of the most intense initiations I've ever experienced and the start of a life altering journey (you can read more about that in my blog - the medicine path), but my home page photo was taken by my friend who is also a photographer only sometimes, in my then back yard amongst plants that I really loved to be around. It was taken in 2019, maybe late 2018, and even though I may be smiling I can't say I was overly happy inside. At the time I was still grieving and living in the transitionary space between spaces - having changed my life and career path completely and then had my whole world and heart shattered I just didn't know what to do except exist. And exist was all I did for a long time - empty on the inside but sticking around on the planet because a cute little soul had also decided to stick around on the planet and it seemed only fair that I stayed with him. The years prior were pretty dark and very difficult for a logical brain to comprehend and as it turns out in 2020 and 2021 I didn't need that anyway (I still dont apparently....) - enter another life transforming experience, the face above, or experiences, which, I believe, broke the remaining neural pathways I had built the 40 years prior... and the cocoon had begun to set around the caterpillar who had resisted the changes for so long.
What you see when you meet me in the clinic now, or on the phone, or over the internet and via my written words is a brighter, aligned and connected teacher. Who happens to also be really good at reading reports, mixing up herbs and blends to support the body while it heals and repairs itself, along with providing hands on treatements that set it in place. The same happens when we work remotely together, I can work on you by just being focused and listening to you - there is no logical explanation for this except that every person feels better when they are listened to and I have the time to do that and it is a large part of what I'm here to do.
My sun sign is Leo, my moon is in Cancer and my Ascendent is Scorpio with a north node in Libra (for all those astrological geeks out there...) - a manifesting generator and have a few handy gene keys and channels which allow me to activate greatness and manifestation in others too accompanied by a whole bag of hard lessons and self-transformations for myself along the way - my myers briggs stuff is still there somewhere - pretty sure it was INTJ or something like that, I am an A type personality but very introverted having learnt how to recharge fully by having LOADS of my own time and don't go out much. Now what else is there..... Gallup strengths and the DISC profiles - yep done them too and also the archetypal stuff with various friends and as a part of executive trainings and corporate planning days.....Oh and I'm pretty sure Florence would say I'm a choleric sanguine who is also a recovering melancholic workaholic person (phew, let me know if I missed any profiling tools and i'll check for you if I've done - ha ha ha ha - sense of humour is GREAT!! but can be a touch dry.... thank the scorpio for that).
I LOVE plants! all plants - even the ones that give me hayfever like jasmine..... (that's ok because I have my own tools and can make up a natural antihistamine in about 20 seconds flat). I enjoy getting out into nature, by gardening, growing food we can eat and making stuff to share, living a really simple - and at the same time adventurous life - working with stones and wood, occasionally, and lifting heavy things often. I eat a clean plant based diet in alignment with what suits my personality and constitution, most of the time, and am happy to share everything I know and learnt/learn with anyone who is wiling to change.
We live not far from the beach, my furbabies absolutely love running through the sand and in the water and we love swimming in it too. I also really enjoy riding motorbikes, riding my old pushbike, driving my jeep, staring at the sky, reading books - mainly reference books - putting people to sleep and taking them on meditation journeys, mixing up stuff, teaching about plants and essential oils, talking all things trippy and at the same time reading anatomy books or showing people how the first rib often pinches the flow down our arms and results in symptoms like that of carpal tunnel when really you just need a simple adjustment and its all sorted! Oh and I also like writing the way I talk and forgetting to put full stops and comma's in ;) Just take a big breath and read fast.
My life now is really rich, it's never boring and I'm never alone - its not what I ever imagined, or expected, in my wildest dreams and I'm actually super grateful for that! My life wasn't always good, in fact I was pretty lost for a while and made some pretty poor choices - but this adds to the richness that continues to grow.
Soooo if learning about your unique system and make up seems like something that suits you - or if you have tried everything else and nothing seems to work or make any sense - then maybe it's time you talked to me, as I am, right now - a lover and sharer of natural medicine, a functional medicine and movement practitioner, an alternative doctor who also works with the metaphysical while working here in the physical with you.
I am a practitioner, a coach, a guide, a mentor, a teacher, an adventurer, a galactical being still working this human shit out and on most days I'm pretty sane.........
Remember - none of us are getting out of this world alive and there is someone for everyone.
See you soon,
Be.
