Breast Cancer – can we lessen fear and recurrence?
Getting a diagnosis of Breast Cancer is so fucking scary. Your whole life flashes before your eyes, you wonder who is going to look after your kids if you die. You are so scared that nothing makes sense and in this state of total fight-or-flight, you are expected to make life-changing decisions that affect you and everyone you love. And when all the treatment is over – life goes back to how it was before, but with a little bit of fear that pops up now and again, reminding you that you could get sick again any time. But does that have to be the only way? Is it possible to alleviate fear, prevent recurrence and live a life you love?
I believe so, because I’ve been there twice. The first time, I did everything I was told. The second time I realised I was in charge of my health. And if I didn’t step up and take responsibility, I would probably die from cancer. So began my journey of self-discovery, self-care and finding my voice.
…What is Holistic Clinical Nutrition?
Nutrition is crucial to life and health. What we eat and how we enjoy our food plays a huge role in our everyday lives. When we eat something our body can’t tolerate, we will get sick.
Tips for a Healthy You these Holidays
The lead up to holidays always seems to be busy and stressful. There is always so much to do before we get to have our break. But what if we looked at it differently? Changed our minds and took a break or two now, before we lost our minds, and our health?
Chronic conditions and food
You might already know that 1 in 2 Aussies have some sort of chronic health condition – arthritis, asthma, back pain, cancer… But did you realise that chronic illness causes 9 out of 10 deaths?
Our society places a lot of weight on acute problems, and chronic conditions are often just managed with drugs, or surgery, but can be debilitating and ruin quality of life. I agree that drugs and surgery have their place to keep us alive – but do we really want to be managing our ongoing health issues this way? Drugs lead to side effects (and more drugs to treat those), while surgery can have hidden downsides, such as drug reactions, infections and leave us out of balance. So how can we find a better way?
Top tips for conquering Christmas for sensitive kids
I talk to lots of mums whose sensitive kids struggle with behavioural and sensory problems. Defiance, poor focus, and hyperactivity, go with sensitivity to smells, textures and tastes. And they really want to know how they can help their kids, and themselves, have a calmer, happier home.
And this troubled behaviour and sensitivity seems to get worse at Christmas and birthday parties and the like. Anywhere where there is different food and an excitable atmosphere.

Buckwheat Granola – Activated or Quick
Granola that’s healthy and inexpensive
Do you sometimes baulk at the price of healthy, activated cereals and granolas which are made from wholeseome ingredients like nuts, seeds, and buckwheat? I definitely do.
What about when your favourite, intolerance-friendly cereal isn’t on the shelf? Very annoying! Do you go to the other shop, wasting your precious time, just to get one thing?
Or do you buy something else, knowing it’s not as good for you or might make you just a little bit sick?
