A wonderful, helpful piece from our kinesiologist, Naareda.
Just as we have an automatic hygiene regime every day, which serves to keep our physical body clean and clear (for example, showering, brushing our teeth, and combing our hair), it’s equally important to have a spiritual practise that serves our emotional, mental, and spiritual self. This is even more important in times of stress.

So, your blood test came back normal, but you don’t feel ‘well’…? This is a common occurrence that we see regularly.
Functional testing is a great tool that can help us to delve a little deeper into your health concerns to measure how your body’s biological and biochemical processes are working as a whole, and to help to uncover any metabolic, hormonal, or nutritional imbalances that may be impacting your wellbeing. These tests are a great way of identifying the root cause of your symptoms and can assist greatly with developing a more effective and individualised treatment plan for your specific health concerns. Detailed below are a few of my favourite examples of functional testing. If you are interested to find out more about testing that’s available – as well as how I can support you by interpreting previous pathology reports – I’d be very happy to explain more!

Lately, women are becoming more and more confident around the idea of ‘fabulous at 40’. But is that really how you feel…? Or, d you feel like you are on a rollercoaster ride of emotional and physical symptoms, ups and downs?

In recent times, we have seen a significant transition to ‘work from home’ environments. This has come with some benefits (like working in pyjamas and sleeping in), but it has also brought some aches and pains. Sitting at a desk for hours on end can lead to sudden back aches, neck/shoulder soreness, and some longer lasting postural deficiencies.
Our remedial massage therapist, Tom Moore, has put together a piece explaining common issues and top tips to make sure you’re looking after your body while working from home.

At the end of a day trip to Echuca, my husband stated that we should get ice cream because ‘that’s what everyone was doing’. To which I replied, ‘I love and honour my body too much to do that’, and was thinking in my head, ‘phew, thank god I just had the strength to state that out loud so now I really WON’T have that ice cream…woohoo’, as I knew I’d regret it later if I did! Now I confess, ice cream isn’t my favourite ever food, which made it a tad easier. But, how often do we find ourselves in this situation? And what would have been your answer?

Ever felt completely stressed out, tense, and irritated, only to realise later that you just really needed to do a poo?
Being constipated affects not only our physical wellbeing, but our mood, too and it is a surprisingly common problem that is rarely talked about. But when you have long-term constipation, your gut (and probably your mood) is telling you that something needs to change.
