THROUGHOUT MY PROGRAMMES WE WOULD HELP YOU USING THE FOLLOWING APPROACHES:
EMOTIONAL STRENGTH
Sometimes knowledge and tools to achieve your goals aren’t enough. Firstly you need to unlock what’s blocking you. Do you feel you know what you have to do, have great motives to change, and yet fail to follow through?
We begin understanding your true self by discovering what causes you to think, feel and behave the way you do, uncovering self-sabotaging behaviours and unblocking limiting beliefs, that you’ve been living by for so many years.
We’ll use creative ways to develop an effective plan to close the “gap” between where you are now and where you want to be, create new patterns, and generate a driving force for continuous motivation towards your future visions. You’ll develop a strong foundation so you can not only deal with inevitable challenges but utilise them to grow.
Are you ready to rediscover yourself?
SUPPORT, LOVE & CONNECTION
One thing I’ve discovered on my health journey is the need to talk to others and share ideas with each other. We’re not designed to be alone, but connected within a loving community.
Spending time with quality people including friends and family, volunteering, reconnecting with people you’ve lost contact with and meeting people who will support you, is all part of community.
Plus soon I’ll be setting up Your Inside Community which will be a space filled with only supportive, caring and health driven women to support you along your health journey.
THE 4 ELEMENTS
Water = Liquids = Hydration
Air = Oxygen = Breath
Fire = Sunlight = Energy
Earth = Food = Nourishment
These four elements are essential for the survival of all living beings and serve as powerful guide on how-to live-in synergy with nature. Every breath of air relaxes you, the earth is a reminder to heal and nourish yourself, fire gives you strength and energy and water shows you how to go with the flow.
When you align yourself with these four elements, they can evoke an emotional response that can stimulate your mind, become present, calm our nerves and enrich your life. We look into how these can be brought more into your every day life for optimal health.
NUTRIENT-DENSE, PLANET FRIENDLY, WHOLESOME GLUTEN FREE FOODS
Our focus would be on the importance of consuming a wide variety of high quality, local, seasonal, nutrient-dense and plant-friendly foods. This includes rainbow coloured fruits and vegetables, high quality fats, clean proteins, nuts, seeds, beans, legumes, whole grains, fermented foods, wild foods, sea vegetables, herbs and spices.
A nutrient-dense, wholefoods and rich in plants diet has shown to lower inflammation, which is crucial because studies now prove inflammation is at the root of most diseases. When we eat plenty of high antioxidant foods, it contributes to your disease-fighting nutrients and naturally controls your body’s hunger signals so you know when you’re actually full.
We’ll go on a virtual shopping trip together (soon to be in person I hope!), clean out your pantry and together develop your very own Online Cookbook in Saffron filled with specific recipes just for you!
You’ll integrate proven strategies like mindful eating, food journals and tools to balance your seasonal plate, to help manage and overcome digestive symptoms. Plus Personalised 1:1 Kitchen Sessions with me are included!
CROWDING OUT & DECONSTRUCTING CRAVINGS
Many specialists give their clients a list of foods to avoid and foods to eat, which explains why so many people are confused and turned off by nutrition. My approach is different – by eating and drinking foods that are good for you, you will naturally have less room and desire for unhealthy foods. Simply put, you will crowd out the unhealthy food in your diet.
Cravings play a critical role in understanding what your body needs and are best not ignored. When you learn how to deconstruct your cravings and understand what they’re really telling you, you’ll be able to reclaim balance, self-knowing and confidence.
This takes a little practice to make happen, but I support you along the way.
SLEEP
Sleep is slightly different for everyone, however we discover what you uniquely need to get your best zzzzs.
We take a look into everything from your current sleeping habits to your sleeping environment, the hours you sleep to the quality you’re getting.
Night time and morning routines are also something we delve into by trying out ideas, putting them into practice and exploring what works best for you. This could be establishing a new gratitude ritual, filling your favourite water bottle and discovering enjoyable ways of moving your body.
NATURAL MOVEMENT
Simply put regular physical activity is important for your health, longevity, and disease prevention.
Regular healthy movement hugely supports your emotional wellbeing by helping to reduce anxiety and depression and makes you better equipped to handle stress. Exercising regularly can also help your body utilise oxygen and remove carbon dioxide more effectively, so your body can receive optimum levels to function. As well as aiding in the increase of circulation and oxygenation of your cells, helping to keep your skin healthy.
Also great news, exercise is one of the best ways to reduce constipation and support regularity, to help get your digestive system moving daily as it should.
STRESS MANAGEMENT & MIND-BODY CONNECTION
Your body responds to the way you think, feel and act. When you are aware of your thoughts, feelings and behaviours you can very powerfully shift yourself to a better place physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.
Increasing self-awareness, shifting mindset habits and understanding your gut-brain connection, all help us delve towards the root causes of why you aren’t currently seeing the results you want.
Self care, breathwork, meditation and guided visualisations are included to support regaining your balance, peace and self-confidence.
DETOXIFICATION
We are in constant contact with harmful organisms and pollutants. They’re in our water, in our food, and in the
air we breathe; it’s very difficult to get away from them. The root cause of many health issues are the toxins that have
built up in our bodies over the years. Toxins are any substances like chemicals, metals, pollutants, artificial food ingredients, pesticides, and poisons that cause your body harm.
It’s almost impossible to protect yourself from all the toxins in the environment, however there are ways to prevent them. Your body’s natural detoxification processes exist to deal with the ones we can’t avoid. Practising regular cleansing, can help your body perform these processes.
Whether it’s a food detox, lifestyle detox, or digital detox, this is something which could make all the difference!
HEALTHY-LIVING SUCCESS
One secret to eating & living optimally for the long run is mirroring the environment and habits of the world’s longest-living people, by setting up your own home and environment for success.
After travelling to Ogliastra in Sardinia, I saw first hand how centenarians live. Healthy living is a way of life there. We may not live up in the high mountains but there are so many ways we can integrate their positive habits into our lives.
We take a look into your lifestyle including your diet, self-care, lifestyle habits, personal and physical movement and professional environment to discover and integrate approaches you love!
BECOME YOUR OWN HEALTH EXPERT
I use the concept of Bio-Individuality as each of us has unique food and lifestyle needs. One person’s food is another person’s poison, and that’s why fad diets and lifestyles tend to fail in the long run.
Along the way I’ll guide you to increase self-awareness and make positive changes that are based on your unique needs, lifestyle, preferences, and ancestral background.
To achieve full nourishment and fulfillment, it’s not just the food we eat that effects our health, but all the other factors present in our daily lives.
BECOME AN EXPERT IN YOUR OWN HEALTH
I work with my clients to get in touch with their body’s needs because I understand that life happens and your needs change. I guide you so you can find your own self-awareness, to make the best decisions for yourself in any given circumstance.
I believe each person is fully capable of making well-informed intuitive decisions as their own coach, not the latest magazine article or fad diet book.
