Self-care looks different for all of us. For me, it includes both daily practices and a few treatments I make time for each month. My monthly self-care routine usually includes acupuncture, a magnesium float and a massage. Although I love sound baths, I rarely seem to find the time to attend one purely for myself. Every now and again, I also treat myself to a facial. Recently, I had the opportunity to combine the two. I was very grateful when Nikolett from Naturally Best Beau

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), each organ system is linked not just to physical functions, but also to emotions. The kidneys and bladder are associated with the emotion of fear. Like all emotions, fear is natural and even necessary at times. It helps us assess danger and protect ourselves. But when the kidney and bladder meridians are out of balance—or when fear is left unacknowledged—it can grow into something much larger, affecting both our mental and physical wellb

This past week has been a whirlwind—literally and figuratively. The cyclone brought disruption, uncertainty, and moments of powerlessness. Yet, as I reflect on the turbulence, I am reminded of how much our experience of reality is shaped by our thoughts. This isn’t just about weathering a storm; it’s about how we navigate all of life’s challenges. Recently, I made the decision to refine my business name to better align with my evolving focus.

As we step into 2025, it’s the perfect time to reflect on what balance truly means in our lives. Balance is a word we hear often—work-life balance, fitness balance, emotional balance. But what does it really mean, and how can we apply it to our daily lives in a way that’s meaningful and sustainable? Let’s explore a few key areas where balance can make all the difference. Work-Life Balance: It’s Not About Hours When we talk about work-life balance, many people envision a perfe

I recently came across a statement on a gym’s blackboard that caught my eye:"New Year, same you—because you were never the problem." This phrase encourages self-acceptance, a reminder that you’re already enough just as you are. I wholeheartedly believe that you can pursue any goal while embracing the person you are today. On the other hand, my own experience has taught me the truth in another powerful statement:"Everything in your life starts with you." So, how do we balance

A friend from work introduced me to hot yoga 10 years ago. I really didn't have any expectations, other than knowing that emphasis is placed on moving with your breath. I loved the first class and as I purchased an unlimited pass for the first week, I started the habit of practicing three times per week. Over the years I became stronger, improved my flexibility and balance but I wouldn't call these changes life changing. I had achieved physical improvements prior to practicin

In times of crisis we often get hyper focused on our own fear and feel disconnected from others. We start looking for solutions outside of ourselves, and focus on the things we can't do. We feel lost because our daily routine has been taken away from us. Instead let's focus on the things we can do: 1. Every morning gives us the opportunity to set an intention for the day! How do I want to show up today? What do I need to do and how do I want to be while doing it? 2. Plan so

What is Yoga? According to Yoga Australia yoga is generally recognised as an ancient system of philosophies, principles and practices derived from the Vedic tradition of India and the Himalayas, more than 2500 years ago. It is a system that recognises the multi-dimensional nature of the human person, and primarily relates to the nature and workings of the mind, based on experiential practice and self-enquiry. Yoga cultivates health and wellbeing (physical, emotional, mental a

The Benefits of Yoga and Meditation The aim of yoga is to live with awareness and equanimity, steadiness, and ease irrespective of our condition. Generally, people only refer to the asanas or postures, i.e., the physical part of yoga; however, yoga is so much more. Without going into the yoga philosophy, I just want to draw your attention to some other aspects e.g.: Breathing Chanting Meditating Intension Setting and Affirmations Asanas/Postures The 3-part yoga breath is one
