In this heartfelt episode of the Self Love Podcast, Kim speaks with Rebecca Warke to explore the inspiration behind her powerful new book, Take a Hike. Written in the aftermath of heartbreak, the book chronicles Beck’s deeply personal journey from loss and self-abandonment to healing, self-discovery and coming home to herself. Together, they unpack the lessons hidden within life’s most challenging seasons, discussing attachment patterns, people pleasing, relationship dynamics and the unconscious beliefs formed in childhood that can shape the way we love and relate to others. Beck shares how what once felt like a complete breakdown ultimately became the breakthrough that transformed her life.

Throughout the conversation, Beck offers gentle yet practical wisdom for anyone navigating grief, change or the process of rebuilding themselves. She explains how small acts of self-care, learning to honour personal boundaries and keeping promises to yourself can create lasting transformation. Kim and Beck also explore parenting through difficult times, the importance of modelling resilience, and how self compassion becomes the foundation for true healing. Filled with hope, honesty and practical tools, this episode is a beautiful reminder that the hardest climbs often lead to the most breathtaking views, and that no matter where you are on your journey, it is always possible to find your way back to yourself.

About Rebecca
Rebecca Warke is an author, entrepreneur, adventurer, and single mother of two who is passionate about helping people navigate life’s biggest transitions with courage, honesty, and self-awareness.

Her debut book, Take A Hike, was born from one of the most transformative periods of her life. Through heartbreak, healing, self-discovery, and personal growth, Rebecca found herself asking the same questions many people face when life doesn’t go to plan: Who am I now? What am I meant to learn from this? And how do I find my way back to myself?

Drawing from her own lived experience, Rebecca writes with vulnerability and authenticity about love, loss, resilience, attachment, forgiveness, spirituality, and the journey of rebuilding a life that feels aligned and meaningful. Her work extends to in person workshops and group hikes to support and hold space for anyone navigating change, grief, or personal transformation.

When she’s not writing, Rebecca can be found exploring the outdoors, spending time with her children, playing AFL, in the gym, building business, chasing new adventures, and creating a life centred around freedom, connection, and meaningful experiences.

Her definition of Self Love is: Self love means to keep the promise you made yourself.

Her favourite quote is: The best views come after the hardest climbs.

Quotes:
Life did evolve, a relationship ended and I found myself in a space of feeling quite lost as to who I was.
I was overanalysing, overthinking, I was looping, I’m trying to fix something that can’t be fixed, make sense of something that no longer made sense.
The way for me to get those thoughts out was to write.
My intention was to bring some sanity back to myself.
It felt a little bit like a book I would like to read.
I couldn’t even get myself to do the things that make me feel like me.
I didn’t know who I was anymore.
It took many months to appreciate that it was a breakthrough.
These things happen for us to really come home to ourselves.
This experience has allowed that door to open for me to realise that it is a breakthrough, and it is an opportunity for me to really come home to me.
The book has been the way that I processed that and made that progress.
It is part memoir, reflection and self help.
It is designed to meet people where they are at on their journey, wherever that may be.
I have given myself full permission to prioritise myself.
I abandoned myself so many times and my ambitions and my desires.
It is like you become an observer rather than a participant.
We are following the map that was imprinted in us as children.
I was also operating from a space of safety and survival.
The maps can be redrawn.
Healing while you still have to parent, still have to show up for work, still have to put a roof over your kids’ head, still have to feed them, is the hardest thing that I have ever had to do.
When you start connecting with yourself and start seeing yourself and start loving yourself, you celebrate those things instead of putting yourself down.
I promised myself I would not lose myself in love again.
We are going to have challenging times. If we can navigate them, take one step in front of the other, the view at the top is bliss.

In this week’s Quicky, Kim explores the profound healing power of nature and how reconnecting with the body’s innate intelligence can support true wellbeing. She unpacks holistic healing modalities such as acupuncture, homeopathy and aromatherapy sharing how each works to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes rather than simply masking symptoms. Kim also offers simple, practical rituals to help you reconnect with yourself, including spending time in nature, tuning into the body’s daily needs, using essential oils as emotional anchors and prioritising nervous system health through rest and self-care. This is a gentle invitation to trust your body’s wisdom, embrace nature as your greatest healer, and remember that healing is less about becoming someone new and more about returning to who you have always been.

Quotes:
I truly believe it is because nature remembers who we are long before we forget.
We have become incredibly good at looking outside of ourselves for answers.
Your body, ultimately, is always trying to come home to itself and heal.
Healing isn’t something we forced. It is something that we have to allow.
Acupuncture reminds the nervous system how to regulate itself.
You cannot tap into the unconscious brain more than what you can with the power of smell.
The body responds to nature.
Your body is the hero.
These therapies simply provide information support and conditions that may help the body’s innate intelligence.
Symptoms are not always the enemy. Sometimes they are the body’s language.
Our bodies often whisper before they scream.
The greatest self love practice isn’t fixing ourselves. It is remembering who we are, and that we were designed with extraordinary intelligence.
Healing isn’t about becoming someone new. It is about remembering who you have always been.
Nature has never been separate from us. We are nature, every breath, every heartbeat, every cell.

In this inspiring conversation, Kim sits down with Melissa Kupsch, founder of RMDY Collective and director of the RMDY Academy, to explore the principles of homeopathy and its role in supporting long term health and wellbeing. Melissa shares the personal experiences that led her to dedicate her career to homeopathy, explaining how this holistic approach aims to stimulate the body’s natural healing response by addressing the root causes of illness rather than simply managing symptoms. Together, they discuss the connection between physical health, emotional wellbeing, and inherited patterns, while unpacking how homeopathy is used in practice for both acute and chronic conditions, including fertility, mental health, hormonal imbalances and children’s health.

Melissa also reflects on the remarkable growth of the RMDY Academy, where hundreds of practitioners are being trained to meet the increasing demand for qualified homeopaths. Through powerful client stories she highlights the transformative potential she has witnessed through homeopathic care and the importance of working with experienced practitioners. The episode also covers what to expect from treatment, how to find a qualified homeopath, and Melissa’s free introductory course, Welcome to the Revolution, offering our listeners an opportunity to learn more about this holistic healing modality and decide whether it aligns with their own health journey.

About Melissa
Melissa Kupsch is an influential leader in the realm of holistic health and business innovation. As the director and founder of RMDY Collective, Melissa has crafted a unique niche at the intersection of homeopathy and entrepreneurial success. Her visionary approach has redefined traditional practices, merging them with modern business strategies to create a thriving, forward-thinking enterprise.

With a deep-rooted passion for homeopathy, Melissa’s journey began with a commitment to natural and personalised healthcare solutions. Her expertise in this field has been instrumental in shaping RMDY Collective into a beacon of holistic wellness. Under her leadership, the company has grown from a bold idea into a renowned name, offering innovative products and services that resonate with a diverse and discerning clientele.

In addition to her work with RMDY Collective, Melissa is dedicated to advancing the field through RMDY Academy. This educational arm of her business focuses on training and inspiring the next generation of homeopaths and wellness professionals. Melissa’s commitment to education reflects her belief in empowering others with knowledge and skills that can make a meaningful difference in their practice and in the lives of those they serve.

Melissa’s leadership style is characterised by a blend of empathy, strategic insight, and a relentless drive for excellence.

Her definition of Self Love is: I have nothing to hide, and I have nothing to prove. I am just content in myself. And that to me is self love.

Her favourite quote is: Many people, especially ignorant people, want to punish you for speaking the truth, for being correct, for being you. Never apologise for being correct or for being years ahead of your time. If you are right and you know it, speak your mind. Speak your mind even if you are a minority of one, the truth is still the truth.

Quotes:
I was always going to land in the natural space.
Your body only knows how to constantly try and heal you.
The body is so divinely intelligent.
We really want to look at you in your totality. Physically, mentally and emotionally.
Most of us are walking around with a wounded spirit.
With homeopathy, we go to the root cause of the issue.
These remedies help us to feel. We feel the things, and that is why the physical symptoms then abate.
You don’t need to outsource your healing all the time.
I believe you deserve knowledge of how to care for this vessel that you were born in.
Your body has a remarkable capacity to heal under the right influences
In my opinion, this is the future of medicine.
I highly regard our doctors, our surgeons, our specialists for what they can do, and they will forever reign in surgery, in emergency medicine.
For many people, their depression and anxiety, it is not really theirs. The root of where it came from, it flows down those family lines.
Once you experience it for yourself, I think that is where everything changes, because you know that is your experience, and no one can ever take that away from you.
You are only as well as your secrets.
Homeopathy isn’t what heals you, you are what heals you.
Homeopathy cracks open the door. It gives you a rocket launch forward.
It still is up to you.
I still have to choose the right things for the rest of my life.
Children often are born into this world with quite a robust vital force.
You do want to be patient.
Some good things take time.
We are where we are, we accept that, but we can either take steps forward, or we can stay still, or worse, we can start going back.
Give yourself grace in all the times that you mess up.
We can all have the ability to feel this good naturally.

Quotes:
This moment is the only place life is ever happening.
When we become fully present, that default mode network begins to quieten.
Presence isn’t about emptying your mind. It is about gently returning your attention to what is here now.
These tiny moments are not interruptions to life. They are life.
Within 3 to 4 seconds, aroma can begin influencing our emotions, memories, and nervous system.”
That is the art of presence. It is not perfection. It is just awareness.
When we are truly present, we are no longer rushing through life, trying to get somewhere else.
We realise that this moment, this breathe, this heartbeat, this conversation, is where our life has always been waiting.
May you remember that your greatest power has never lived in the past or the future. It has always lived right here, right now.

In this inspiring episode, during Donate Life Week, Kim sits down with liver transplant recipient, athlete, and advocate Kate Clark to share an extraordinary story of resilience, gratitude, and making the most of a second chance at life. After losing her brother to the same rare genetic liver condition that later led to her own transplant at just 17 years old, Kate reflects on the challenges of chronic illness, survivor’s guilt, and the life changing gift of organ donation. She opens up about the mindset shift that helped her reclaim her future, the importance of living in the present, and how self-love, resilience and movement have shaped her journey through grief, recovery, and beyond.

Kate also shares how she transformed her second chance into an incredible athletic career, representing Australia at the World Transplant Games and inspiring others through her work as a trustee of the World Transplant Games Federation. As we recognise Donate Life Week, this conversation is a timely reminder of the profound impact organ donation can have, not only on recipients, but on families and communities. Kate encourages us to register as organ donors, have meaningful conversations with our loved ones about our wishes and embrace every opportunity life presents with courage, purpose and gratitude.

About Kate
Kate Clark grew up in regional New South Wales, the youngest child of Kim and John, with her older brother Johnny. Johnny became seriously unwell at the age of three, and the family moved first to Wollongong and later Sydney to be closer to specialist medical care. He received his first liver transplant at nine, a second at eleven, and a third at fifteen, a long and difficult journey that shaped the entire family. Kate was diagnosed with the same disease at eight. Johnny passed away at fifteen due to complications following surgery; Kate was twelve.

Kate spent her teenage years refusing to let illness dictate her life. Running became her way to cope with grief, anger, and uncertainty, a place where she could choose her own pace and make some sort of sense of things. Even with chronic liver failure she competed at a high level in both state and national titles in athletics and cross country. At seventeen she was listed for a transplant, a decision she resisted after watching her brother’s experience. That changed one morning when she describes having an epiphany: if she was going to face a transplant, she wanted to be fit enough to take it on. She returned to training, ran some of the best times of her life, and received the call that evening.

Her surgery lasted more than 21 hours. Her parents were told not to expect her home. She spent three months in hospital, three more with home nursing, and then – stubbornly – returned to training. She went on to represent Australia at the World Transplant Games, compete at the OCR World Championships, and build a life fixed on movement, community, and purpose.

Kate eventually landed her dream job at Transplant Australia, and spent two years working to motivate, inspire and engage the transplant community. She now serves as Chair of the Sports & Events Committee for the World Transplant Games Federation and Chair of the Transplant Football Commission. She is delivering the second Transplant Football World Cup and the first-ever Women’s Transplant Football Showcase tournament in September – something she is extremely proud of.

Her family’s health story continued to shape her life: her father received a transplant in 2004 and continues to thrive, and her mother passed away from cancer in 2018.

Kate’s experiences have given her a clear sense of what matters and what doesn’t. She has learned to value the small, ordinary parts of life, the things that actually get you through hard moments. Living so close to illness and loss taught her that material things mean nothing in the end, and that what lasts is gratitude, empathy, and humility. These principles (she hopes) guide how she works, how she leads, and how she shows up for others in the transplant community and beyond.

Her definition of Self Love is: Self love is setting boundaries. It is accepting myself for all of my warts and all.

Her favourite quote is : You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

Quotes:
Sometimes you must endure the ride in order to get the best parts.
Sometimes you are down the bottom, and you don’t know whether to get off or go back round again. But then the life at the top is full of beautiful moments and a great view.
If I am going to face it, I need to face it head on and do what I can to be able to, come out the other side and live a normal life.
Running certainly helped with overcoming anger, grief, all those things after my brother passed away.
Tell me I can’t do something and I will do my best to prove you wrong.
It is a huge part of the transplant journey. It is called survivor’s guilt.
There is often so much guilt that is wrapped up in gratitude.
Every morning we wake up, paying tribute and trying to honour the gift that we are being given.
Families have to make a decision at the most harrowing time of their life to pass that gift on.
We try and show them the gratitude that we have for them making that decision at the time, in their moment of utter grief and tragedy.
Face the challenges that are right in front of you today and then move past them.
You don’t look in the rear view mirror, you look forward because that is the way you are going.
Tomorrow is not guaranteed to anyone.
Live the now.
Focus on here, focus on the now, do the things that bring you joy, share that joy wherever you can.
Be present in the now.
Be present for the people that you love as well.
If you are willing to accept, you should also be willing to give.
Trying to respect my needs while still being there for others.
Face the challenges that are right in front of you today. And then move past them.
One donor can save up to seven lives and then better the lives of many more.
It is important to have that conversation with them, advise them of your wishes, ensure that they understand.
The time just enables you to reflect on the positives with a smile and with love in your heart rather than the sadness.
Allowing yourself to just feel. Feel the feels. But don’t wallow in them.
It is nice to have a cry sometimes. It is nice to have a laugh.
You do have the strength within you, whether you believe it in yourself or not.

In this uplifting Quicky of the Self Love Podcast, Kim Morrison explores why movement is one of the greatest acts of Self Love. She encourages us to let go of the idea that exercise is about punishment or burning calories and instead embrace movement as a celebration of what their bodies can do. From boosting mood and reducing stress to building strength, resilience, and gratitude, Kim reminds us that every step, stretch, or dance is an opportunity to honour our bodies, nurture our wellbeing, and experience the joy of being alive.

Quotes:
I truly believe one of the most underacted acts of self care available to us all is movement.
Your incredible body performs miracles.
So often we focus on what our body looks like rather than what it allows us to do.
The truth is movement is one of the greatest gifts we can ever bestow upon ourselves.
When we move our bodies, we don’t just strengthen muscles, we strengthen our mind.
A walk in nature can solve problems that hours of overthinking never will.
One of the greatest lessons movement teaches us is to become comfortable being uncomfortable.
Ageing well isn’t about looking younger or trying to do everything you can to avoid it. It is about continuing to live fully.
Your body is not a problem to be fixed. It is a miracle to be celebrated.
Every step, every breath, every movement, is a declaration of self love.

View Details

In this deeply moving episode of the Self Love Podcast, Kim Morrison sits down with adaptive athlete, world record holder, and mental health advocate Mick Marshall, whose life changed forever after a catastrophic 120 metre fall from a wind turbine in 2021. Facing multiple surgeries, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), and the daunting challenge of learning to walk again, Mick refused to let his circumstances define him. Drawing on the mindset of an endurance athlete, he shares how he rebuilt both his body and his spirit through movement, innovative recovery practices, and an unwavering commitment to believing that healing was possible. His extraordinary journey has since seen him break world records, including completing the fastest marathon on crutches, proving that resilience can flourish even in life’s darkest moments.

Together, Kim and Mick explore what self love truly means when life doesn’t go to plan, touching on the power of acceptance, the importance of surrounding yourself with the right support team, and why movement remains one of our greatest medicines. From ultramarathons and mindset to gratitude, purpose, and the incredible energy that comes from human connection, this conversation is filled with practical wisdom and heartfelt inspiration. Mick leaves listeners with a powerful reminder that our greatest limitations are often the ones we place on ourselves.

About Mick
Mick Marshall is a world record-breaking adaptive athlete, motivational speaker, and passionate advocate for mental health. His journey embodies resilience, transforming a devastating workplace accident into an extraordinary story of determination and triumph.

In 2021, Mick’s life changed forever when he fell from a wind turbine, suffering catastrophic leg injuries. Enduring nine major surgeries, two complete foot reconstructions, and a gruelling rehabilitation process, he had to relearn how to walk again three times.

Mick now lives with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), a chronic condition that causes intense, burning pain, often far worse than the original injury. But Mick refuses to let pain define him. Instead, he has channelled his endurance athlete mindset into recovery, ultimately setting a world record for the fastest marathon completed on crutches.

Following his accident, Mick endured years of powerful medications, meant to mask the pain but pushing him to the brink of despair. His turning point came with a bold decision to run again. Despite warnings from his legal team that running would jeopardise any compensation, Mick prioritised his mental health, choosing movement over fear. Though he can never return to his career as an electrician, his former employer has denied him a payout.

Today, Mick is the founder of Beyond Endurance, a movement dedicated to helping others face life’s toughest challenges. He encourages people to rethink their relationship with pain and reminds them that giving up is never the answer. Through his keynote presentations, Mick shares hard-earned insights on resilience, mindset, and overcoming adversity, inspiring audiences across industries to push past their perceived limitations.

Whether addressing corporate teams, athletes, school students, or rehabilitation
communities, Mick’s story is a powerful reminder that obstacles are not roadblocks, they are opportunities to redefine what’s possible.

His definition of Self Love is: Self love is to find your peace. To actually accept.

His favourite quote is: You think you can or you think you can’t, you are going to be right.

Quotes:
They trigger you and they come up and they never go away because they actually become a part of who you are. But it is how we manage them.
That was just the beginning of a very long, slow, difficult journey that I have come out the other end to be grateful to have.
The mental game really stuffed me. I could always recover physically.
My system was super sensitive and over sensitised. It was not feeling very safe, so it would just shut you down.
The biggest part of learning for me was to be accepting of me, for me.
I completely lost the life that I knew.
What has always helped me? It always was running or movement.
Moving is the healthiest habit you could ever have.
Moving is the best medicine that you could ever have in your life.
My real healing happened with rest, sleep, heal and activate. Rest, sleep, heal and activate. And I did that for 3 to 4 months.
Stop watching the stuff that is going to make you feel horrible.
People say, ‘How do you do it?’ And I would say, ‘Because I can.’
To get hard stuff done, you have got to do hard stuff.
You will never know if you don’t keep going.
We have all got different abilities instead of disabilities.
Let’s look at the cup half full instead of the cup half empty.
I gain my respect through action.
I can still adapt. I can still change. I can still evolve.
I am my own person to flourish in any way I can.
You have got to let go of that outside noise because it is that outside noise that is affecting you.
The number one thing that you can do is just breathe.
Breathe and smile.
Don’t run a marathon all at once. Just break it down. One step at a time.
We are always looking at the destination. Let’s get on the journey and get on the ride.
I loved energy.
The energy of people! They lifted me to that finish line.
If you want to go solo, you will go so far. But if you want to go all the way, you need a team
Failing is achieving.

In this Quicky of the Self Love Podcast, Kim explores the topic of forgiveness and challenges the belief that healing always requires it. She unpacks the true meaning of forgiveness, shares why acceptance may be an even more powerful path to freedom, and explains how acknowledging the past doesn’t mean approving of what happened. Through thoughtful reflections and inspiring quotes, Kim encourages us to shift the question from “How can I forgive?” to “How can I free myself?” Ultimately, this episode is a reminder that self-love is about honouring your experiences, releasing the weight of the past, and choosing peace without needing anyone else to change.

Quotes:
Acceptance simply says, ‘This happened. I cannot change the past. I choose not to let this define my future.’
Forgiveness is giving up all hope of having had a different past by Jack Kornfield
Forgiveness is the scent the violet emits onto the heal that crushed it.
Perhaps the real gift isn’t forgiveness itself. Perhaps the gift is acceptance.
Maybe the first step is simply self compassion.
Maybe a better question is, ‘How can I free myself?
Self love is not about carrying old wounds forever. It is about honouring your experience, learning from it and choosing peace over pain.

Why do so many women struggle with bloating, constipation, reflux, food reactions and unpredictable digestion? In this episode of Wellness Women Radio, we explore why gut symptoms are never just about the gut and unpack the powerful connections between digestion, mood, hormones, energy, immunity and inflammation. We discuss the gut microbiome, the gut–brain connection, nervous system regulation, stress, hormone metabolism and why digestive symptoms can provide important clues about what is happening throughout the body. Your gut is a living ecosystem, and when that ecosystem becomes disrupted, the effects can ripple far beyond your bowel habits. This episode will help you understand what your digestive symptoms may be trying to tell you and why supporting gut health is such a foundational part of women’s health!

In this inspiring episode of Self Love Podcast, Kim sits down with Matt Bunker to explore an extraordinary life shaped by adversity, resilience, and purpose. Growing up in a home marked by severe domestic violence, Matt shares how he overcame childhood trauma, the heartbreaking loss of his brother, and the challenges that could have defined his future. Instead, he found discipline and direction through the military, eventually earning his place in the Australian Special Forces after learning to embrace failure, accountability and personal growth. Together, Kim and Matt dive into the lasting impact of intergenerational trauma, the importance of healthy role models, and why true strength comes from choosing a different path.

Now the co-founder of Empower Longevity, Matt has dedicated his life to helping others live longer, healthier lives through preventative healthcare, advanced diagnostics, and personalised wellness programs. He shares his philosophy of self-love of putting family, health, and meaningful relationships first along with the powerful lessons he learned supporting his wife through her battle with breast cancer. This conversation is an honest and thought provoking exploration of resilience, leadership, masculinity, healing, and the courage it takes to break destructive cycles and create a life of purpose.

He served 16 years as an officer and in 2011 was one of 16 out of 130 candidates to successfully pass one of the hardest special forces selections in the world. As an officer in the Special Air Service Regiment, Matt led highly trained, skilled and at times very challenging personalities.

After leaving the Army in 2018, Matt embarked on a career as an Emergency and Oncology Registered Nurse where he is fulling his purpose in life to help others in need.
Matt along with a local Dr recently founded Empower Longevity. A private health clinic to bridge the gap between reactive illness management and proactive health optimization. He combines his deep clinical knowledge of disease pathology with proven strategies for achieving peak physical and mental capacity. Matt is passionate about translating these powerful insights into personalised, actionable plans to ensure every client can maximize their health span, live their potential, and truly enjoy the benefits of a longer, more vibrant life.

His definition of Self Love is: Self Love for me, is being healthy. If I am not healthy, then how am I going to be a good husband and a good father. The healthier you are, the better decision making you will have. The clearer your decision making will be

Quotes:
When you support small business, in the wellness space you are saying it is important. And you are letting the owners know they are important.
Globally, small and medium business are considered the backbone of the economy, driving more than 90% of businesses worldwide and around 70% of employment.
When you choose a small wellness brand, you are not just making a purchase, you are making a statement about what you value.
Small businesses aren’t faceless corporations. They are real humans pouring heart, souls, love and creativity into something they believe will truly make a difference.
Shopping consciously boosts community wellbeing. It strengthens social ties, circulates money locally, and builds a ripple effect of trust, belonging and pride.
Behind every small business is a person who does a little happy dance with every purchase. Your support keeps their dream alive.
When you buy local wellness products, you are supporting families, communities, and even the nation’s economy.
Every dollar you spend is a vote and choosing small business you are investing in dreams, wellbeing and a better future for all of us.
As author Anna Lappé reminds us: “Every time you spend money, you’re casting a vote for the kind of world you want”.

About Janette

A dedication to a natural and organic lifestyle came from a desire to radically improve my health after a childhood and adolescence of debilitating conditions. Finding and utilizing the holistic philosophy absolutely re-established my health in mind, body and spirit.

Studies into complimentary therapies and alternative health techniques has been an ongoing process for the last 20 or more years. After suffering my first major reaction to general medication at the age of six, severe dermatitis episodes from the age of 15, and chronic migraines that eventuated into seizures by the time I was 18, I could see this pattern emerging where there was no ‘one reason’ why my health was failing, but a conglomeration of choices that were shaping my life. Specialists told me I was going to live a life of blood tests and medication, but I decided to refuse to do that.

I chose instead to educate myself, find the best possible life I could and improve my health bit by bit. This included studying health and nutrition, herbalism, esoteric and complimentary therapies along with meditation and energy healing. After two decades of study I have embraced the beauty of truthful, high quality, natural products, super nutrition and the stability of a considered mind. I feel I had to achieve this level of health and strength to be able to genuinely say ‘Yes, this works’.

My focus is firmly on what I term ‘real natural’, using the whole botanical wherever possible, and formulating in micro-batches to maintain freshness and potency.

After studying herbalism, aromatherapy, complimentary therapies and Holistic Feng Shui, I found that I was able to weave together healing through various modalities, maintaining ’High Quality Qi’ in the creations I produced. It was only when my health reached a critical point of achievement that I felt I could begin to offer it to others.

I am now in the fortunate position of formulating products for myself, my clientele and other businesses, using nourishing, high quality ingredients that are truly ‘real natural’ and botanic-organic, and which do not use any synthetics at all. This has given me the opportunity to be of service to those who also desire a less toxic and healthier life experience.

Her definition of Self Love is: Self love is intrinsic to self-respect and it’s very much reciprocal with the environment you live in and the people you engage with. I know that self love is giving me the friendships that I have always wanted. I know that my self love is giving me the place that I love to dwell in and my self love is giving me the environment that I hoped to pass on to my children. There is a knowledge in self love that is going to make our lives richer. Self love is self respect to want something good for yourself and by doing so you become able to give to others.

Her favourite quote is: We are all responsible for our future.

My severe injuries forced me to reimagine my lifestyle and health practices.
You many need to do something dramatic.
The protocol I undertook cleaned up my system so dramatically and completely transformed my health.
