Today we discuss how because we live in a tangible and intangible world, we also need to be aware of how they affect each other and also make sure we are looking after both. We talk a lot about how the tangible is the "doing" and the intangible is the "being" energy.

Perhaps you have goals and don't seem to keep them consistent enough to get the result you need...

Today we talk about the vast journey of how when we are learning, growing, healing, it is a process and a matter of peeling back the layers. Similar to how nature does when she sheds her skin.

Dani is an authority on health, nutrition and alternative thinking, with nearly 20 years of experience as a dietitian.

When methylation isn’t balanced, it can affect energy, mood, and overall health. Join us ...

We are back with a NEW LOOK. We realised we have been running for over 2 years and felt it was time for something fresh to represent who we are now and how we have grown into the incredible work we get to do.

The power of setting your intentions first thing in the morning is an absolute game changer, and scientifically rewires the brain. We can get stuck in thought patterns we aren't even aware of, which can be a huge part of the missing links as to why we can put ourself first, or have the things we truly desire. Morning Go To's are a way you can hack the subconscious auto pilot thoughts that enter into our awareness as soon as we wake, and create new beliefs about ourselves. Fi...

Today we chat and share about the power of fear and worry, what it really is, the many ways it can be approached and how to not let it govern your life. When fear and worry kick in, this can be when self care is potentially either lacking or needs to be shifted to cater to what's being brought to your attention. Either way we get the most clarity when self care is prioritised in times of worry and fear. We share how important it is to look at the facts, and understand that the worst is possib...

Today we have a lot of fun getting curious with the idea of what it really means to trust in the process. This gets interesting when you think about how areas of our life and self care benefit from patience and the ability to keep showing up. We share what we feel trusting the process means, and why once you lean into trusting the process, you become bigger in yourself, through developing a safe relationship around the idea that slow (smart) and steady race really does win. It possible ...

Today we want to get real, raw and honest and talk about very rare occasions in life that can happen called, the breaking points.

It is normal, it is healthy and it is a real part of life that we shouldn't be afraid to address, express and share with people ...

We encourage you to sit and pause and to do genuine enquiry around what's something that you avoid, that may be having a bigger impact than you think. If nothing comes up for you, just sit with it a bit longer. It could be as simple as making your own food instead of buying takeaways, looking after your teeth, or having an i...
