Friends, as many of you know health and wellbeing is a HUGE part of who I am. But, it wasn't always this way. From the age of 15 to my mid-20s I struggled with crippling IBS pain and a very confused gut.😬 It felt like everything I ate would send my stomach into painful spasms and sometimes it was easier to just not eat anything at all.😢 Fast forward to today and those words uttered by my GP of... 'You have IBS, here's some peppermint capsules, there's not much we can do….' are like a distant memory. As a Psychotherapist (also trained in wellness coaching and gut-directed hypnotherapy) I now specialise in helping women regain control over their IBS long term so that they too can live their life to the absolute fullest.💃 I’ve just launched a FREE Facebook Group to provide support, training and advice on beating IBS 🙌 - Retrain Your Brain and Gut - IBS Support Group and would love to have you or the people in your life who struggle with IBS join me there. I know talking about gut problems can feel embarrassing, icky and gross right 🙈? But the reality is this is important and this group is a no shame, no judgement place to get your bowels and your life back on track. Link to join in my bio ♥️

Sometimes we don’t fully allow ourselves to dream big. Is this you? 🙈 So many of us have an internal chatter running in our minds that says either it’s not possible to achieve the things you want, or you don’t believe that you can achieve them. Let me be the person to remind you today hat there is absolutely no reason why you can’t achieve your dreams and goals. 🌈 Everything is possible. But first we need to shift our beliefs about what is possible. This in turn changes your thinking, which changes your actions and in doing so changes your life. Start with lifting up the hood on what you believe to be true. And then go and achieve great things.🌟 . . #mondaymotivation #sugarfree #healthylifestyle #goalstoliveby #wellnessquote #motivationalquotes #healthcoaching #loveyourself

One of those days here in Melbourne when it’s impossible not to get outside into the fresh air ☀️ . I’ve got a stack of work to get done, a workshop to write and a to do list as long as my arm... but today they can all wait. When your head is swimming and your mind is a blur, I find the only thing that helps is to just step away from it all. It can all wait. Really it can. . Living out in the bush it’s sometimes easy to take for granted the rainforest we live in. Getting outside reminds me of where I’ve come from, and the pokey 1 bedroom apartment in the city with a balcony of plants for my nature hit. I’m counting my blessings today and wishing you all a beautiful Sunday 💕 . . #naturelover #wellnesscoach #healthyliving #cleanliving #freshairandfreedom #foodformysoul #healthylifestyle

I get why it’s so easy to put fruit in the same bucket as sugar. But can we just hold on for a moment? . You see unlike added sugar and sugar substitutes, fruit comes perfectly packaged in fibre (which helps keep you full amongst other things) and is packed with precious vitamins and minerals 👍🏻 . And unlike fruit juice (don’t even get me started...)which has the fibre stripped out of it, you’re not eating ‘free sugars’. You’re eating a whole food. . So please don’t be afraid of fruit ok? . We’ve been amazingly fortunate to have a neighbour in the mountain who grows his own berries, so I’ve been filling up buckets and buckets of berries strawberry 🍓 . Still not entirely sure what I’ll be making with all of them yet though. I feel some cooking coming in... . Any suggestions? Would love to know x . #cleaneating #fruit #eatclean #sugarfree #quitsugar #eatfruit #healthyliving #healthtip #wellnesscoach #healthyliving

Where do you even begin with regaining control over your cravings? Where do you start? Because I'm pretty sure you know that food is only part of what's going on. Just following a diet plan, sugar detox or going cold turkey MISSES a crucial piece of the puzzle when it comes to quitting or cutting back on sugar for good. You have to go deeper. I mean A LOT deeper. You need to get behind the curtains of your cravings. And there you’ll find some answers. You’ll likely discover that you are still relying on sugar and comfort food to fill a need. You know when you feel bored, upset, sad, restless? And you just want to stop feeling that way? And you can’t just talk yourself out of it right? I mean we’ve all tried... And how many of us lasted more than a day? A week? So how do you break this pattern? 🤷♀️ The first step is to get AWARE, really get aware of the feeling you’re trying to numb out or not feel. This is what I teach all my clients in the program I run and it’s POWERFUL. Start asking yourself every time you feel that ‘need’, ‘what am I really feeling right now?’, and write it down. Then start thinking of different ways to satisfy that need that don’t involve food. I’m curious, what answers do you think you'll give to yourself? I'd love to know, share with me in the comments. #motivation #healthtip #wellnessquote #quitsugar #cleaneating #loveyourself #healthquote #healthyliving #cravings #

Too many times I see women who are trying to quit sugar beat themselves up when they fall off the wagon. They berate themselves for not being strong enough 😫 They believe that it’s just a game of willpower. They believe they are weak willed. In reality thinking this way isn't helping ayone. So if you’re STILL relying on willpower to cut back or quit sugar then here’s why it’s causing you to stay stuck. When you rely on willpower, you are constantly battling with the voices in your head. You are constantly battling with temptation. It’s exhausting and it’s just not sustainable over the long term... And even if you do manage to succeed for a few days, or a few weeks or a few months, at some point the temptation just gets too much and you cave. And you’re back to day 1 🤦♀️ You’re back to feeling disheartened, disappointed and angry at yourself. Because here’s the thing, willpower comes from the part of your brain that gets tired when you use it too much. You can use up an enormous amount of energy trying to resist your desires. So instead of relying on this limited resource, you need to go deeper and understand the REAL reason you’re craving sweet foods and sugar. You need to tap into a more powerful part of your brain - your subconscious mind.🧠 This is where your habits live and the prgrams which are determining what you will or won’t do. In fact this part of your mind is 30,000 times MORE powerful than the conscious part of your mind. This is why willpower fails you. When you start tapping into the REAL reaons behind your cravings, you will be amazed at the results you'll be able to achieve. I’m curious. Have you made this mistake bfore of relying on willpower?

One of the biggest mistakes you can make when it comes to transforming your health (and to be honest in every area of your life) is to take an ‘all or nothing’ approach. This does not help you.🙁 And worst of all, it can work against you. I'veseen it happen in my own life, and I've seen it happen many times in the lives of the amazing women I work with. So instead of making extreme changes to your daily routine and your habits, why not start with ONE thing? One item, one habit, one step that you can start TODAY. Sound good? You see consistent small steps ladder up to BIG changes that are SUSTAINABLE over the long term. (I promise). So my simple tip to you all is to set yourself up for success by breaking down your goals, and most of all be kind to yourself in the process. ❤️ #motivation #healthtip #wellnessquote #quitsugar #cleaneating #loveyourself #healthquote #quotestolifeby
