Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) was one of my crucifixions. Yet, it was also one of my resurrections. It was my pain, but also my blessing. My devastation, but also my hope. Most of all, it was the catalyst to coming to know my authentic self—the real me behind the social masks—and to know and understand my needs: of mind, body and soul.
Essential oils have literally been an essential support during my prolapsed uterus healing journey (find my book, Healing Prolapse: Inspired Words for Your Journey Within, here). I'm really not sure where I'd be today if I hadn't have made them part of my daily routine. When we use pure oils, the affect on our emotional, mental and physical states can be profound. The Importance of Wood Oils Last night, I attended a talk by Dr David Hill, Chief Medical Officer of doTERRA. It opened my eyes even further to how Mother Nature can support our bodies to return to balan[...]
Yes, it is absolutely possible to heal prolapse of the uterus. I was recently interviewed by healer and intuitive, Rebecca Dettman, for her Soul Doctor Show podcast—specifically for her Womb Worship episode. This was the first time I had spoken publicly about my four-year journey holistically healing one of the Western world's most common health conditions. It's a topic I'm deeply passionate about, particularly as so many women feel that surgery may be the only option to heal what is essentially a body way out of balance. Prolapse of the uterus is a[...]
Usually the first suggestion people make—health practitioners and otherwise—when you have a physical condition, is to do something physical to fix it. But what if it isn't always the right choice? When I found myself with second degree uterine prolapse more than five years ago, I knew visiting the physio was not the answer, despite well-meaning family and friends telling me to high tail it pronto to someone who specialised in pelvic floor dysfunction. I knew this deep in my core (probably a reason for that!) and followed, without wavering, my intui[...]
Our emotions are responsible for a lot more than we give them credit for. At the core of emotion creation are our thoughts - the captain of our emotional ship, so to speak. Pay attention to our thoughts, and the emotions they create, and life can literally change course. Ten years ago, I overhauled my diet, becoming raw vegan overnight. Back then, I believed deeply it was the health and wellness cure-all. But, I'm the first to admit, I was wrong. Very wrong. What I didn't factor into this equation? My emotions and the stressful thoughts I'd become accustomed to t[...]
When you're a mama that has a child with eczema and food allergies, you become somewhat of a detective - especially when you're not willing to walk the path of steroid creams and topical, short-term fixes. So where do you turn when you decide to treat your child holistically? No one can answer that question for you because every child is different and has different needs, different triggers for their allergies and different constitutions. A good start is to tune into your mama gut. I filed away good-meaning advice, disengaged my brain for a moment and tuned into[...]
