Life, when it isn't working literally sucks the life out of you!
Our body, in protest creates weird symptoms, anxiety, depression, weight gain
to get our attention, but do you understand what it is saying?
Our ultimate fears can be felt - work suffers,
friendships are stretched, family ties are at risk.
Who we are and what we stand for takes the biggest hit
as we flounder to keep everything together.
Are you ready to take your life; the opportunity to move from toxic thinking to living a vibrant, healthy life?
You see, I’ve been where you are now. I know what its like to feel stuck and not knowing what the next step could be.
Feeling confused by the things you do and feel. After all, you have pretty much everything don't you? The car, work, possibly kids, and partner or recently had one. Things have been ticking along, but you are just not settled, the low grade anxiety and knowing that something isn't quite right!! sits in the pit of your stomach. You start questioning yourself "Why can't I be happy, I have everything I need, don't I? So why do I feel tired, stress, agitated and not able to get on with living or excited about life.
There are a lot of potential reasons why you are feeling the way you are. The most common triggers are are

There are a lot of potential reasons why you are feeling the way you are. The most common triggers are are
- Lifestyle - not sleeping well, drinking too much, eating poorly or the foods you do eat trigger reactions that don't make sense,
- Medication or diseases putting more stress on your mind and body,
- Your symptoms don't seem to be getting better, or you are being told it is all in your head because your bloods come back normal. You know there is some thing not quite right, but also, can't put your finder on it either.
- Relationships are becoming strained for a whole host of possible reasons,
- Work or study stress, and the people involved
- Overworked, not enough money, not enough of anything really.
- Not enough support to make the bigger picture work and come together.
- Feeling you are sinking, drowning feeling because life and things are not working.
Take comfort that you are not alone, and there is hope.
I know what it feels like to desperately want to feel normal, happy and content. To want to eat healthy foods without the struggle. To observe other families, relationships, health and wonder "Why do I feel this feeling of overwhelm and emptiness?"
I know what it is like to to sabotage my health because deep down I felt I didn’t really deserve a lot of things. I felt I needed to punish myself when I failed at marriage, business, relationships and then my health. While I didn't 'fail', my life certainly showing up in ways I didn't really like or want! Why? After lots of healing, self exploration and deep realisations, I am ashamed to say that my self beliefs and expectations where really quite harmful. It was these beliefs and expectations that created the world I saw and how I interacted with the world. It took my life to be totally turned upside down, pulled apart. I pretty much lost everything. My sanity, my marriage, my family, my health was almost lost too, but turned around with the tools I learnt along the way to healing and lots of supportive therapists to guide and hold space for me.

I don't want that for you or anybody.
Struggle, pain and social sacrifice does not mean you are doing life well. Compromising yourself, to the point of loosing yourself isn't living, and it increases the chance your health will suffer for it. Living is about connection, contentment and making the best of all things. Sure, it can be a challenge to get there, but you have been there before, you most likely have forgotten though. All babies know they are worth being looked after and are gorgeous which is why they love being held and googled over. It is unfortunate that by the time we get to adulthood, most of us have buried this innocent wonder along the path.
Life is about living to the fullest and this includes healthy foods, healthy lifestyle activities, healthy relationships and everything in between. Becoming mature, doesn't mean you have to slowly deteriorate, moving into a shell of a body weak and fragile. To take more medications, get slower, forgetful and more agitated and grumpy.
I can help you get UNSTUCK so that you can start making a big IMPACT on your health and wellness. It is very possible the reason you aren't living the way you want is because you forgot to work on the most important piece of the puzzle… YOU!
What most people don't realise is that your health is determined by your INNER SELF- your beliefs, fears, doubts and thoughts. I know this from experience, it was only when I worked on my inner beliefs transforming my insecure, wallflower self with anorexic tendencies into a self confident person who is looking after her self in every way.
Now, it is about helping others reclaim themselves, to live from their healthy self belief, self love and self worth. When you have all these, it is so much easier to choose foods that work for your body, exercise for your interest and not to meet other's expectations. It becomes about you, what you choose, what works best for you!

From Psychology we know our take on life (filters) dictates how we feel, how we see our selves, how we interpret the world and the quality of our relationships.
Our mind/feelings have the power to changes body chemistry, eg. stress vs happy endorphins (and everything in between) but they also tell us what to eat, drink and medicate with, level and type of exercise, how we relate to others, behaviours and masks we hide behind.
Our beliefs, vows, hurtful feelings and the meaning (power) we give to what happens us usually during childhood, transferred from your parents' genes can be a self fulling prophecy I am... therefore of course that would happen or things that happen later in life can change or reinforce beliefs because of the meaning we have or give to the situation.
Greater the negative impact and trauma greater the chance the child took on idea/s or belief/s of:
Our thoughts, actions and beliefs have the power to change our body's chemistry directly and indirectly. Stress, food, drink, substances, exercise, risk taking etc. changes it via the chemical interaction from our external environment,
Negative, hurtful feelings, sense of unworthiness, low self esteem not only changes our body chemistry, but depresses our immune system, disrupts the hormones and often results in self harm/abuse by the choices we make. A vicious cycle.
One of the most profound way of creating permanent health change is to get to the root cause and your triggers I challenge you to
How did you go? Is now your time to make commit to simple and profound changes? Yes, brilliant

- Take stock of the way we feel about yourself.
- What words do you use?
- Where on the spectrum between negative and positive are your thoughts?
- Is your lifestyle choices supporting health and well being, or are you do you have symptoms or disease you would like to shift?
