You matter – so please don’t give up

Sometimes it seems so much easier to just give up! Sometimes it almost seems like that’s what we should do, because it shouldn’t be this hard. I know I’ve had plenty of moments where I thought it would be easier to give up. If you are battling Adrenal Fatigue/Fibromyalgia/Auto Immune disease, then you’re bound to have those moments where you’re stuck in bed all day, or a shower and getting dressed is all you can muster today, or you’ve had to cancel another dinner date, or you’ve had to call in sick every day this week – where it just hits you, I’ve had enough so why should I keep trying?
Why? Because there is hope, because I know you can feel better and most of all, BECAUSE YOU MATTER. Please don’t give up, get determined, reach out, connect with me and let me walk you home. Connect with me through this website or visit my Facebook page (www.facebook.com/nourishhealthkm) and let me help you – because I “get it”!

Sunshine & Happiness,

You are not alone

Through my journey with Adrenal Fatigue and Fibromyalgia, I often felt alone. I felt like nobody really understood exactly how I was feeling…because how could they? It wasn’t that I didn’t have amazing support, because I did, and I mean A.M.A.Z.I.N.G support, but how could anyone possibly understand unless they’re living this hell themselves? How could they know the fear I felt?, the utter despair? How could they know just how damn hard I was trying, to simply get through each day? How could they know how frightened I was that they’d all eventually get sick of me and walk away?
I’d have given anything to have someone walk the path with me, who “just got it”. Who understood every facet of what it felt like to fight this thing and, more importantly, how to beat it.
This is why I do what I do!! This is my passion because I know what it means to be that person for others. I know how to help, I know what your body is crying out for and I know that if you’re determined, if you’re ready to fight this thing and get your health back – I’m ready to help you!!

There’s so much needed for healing

I thought I should explain why I bang on all the time, about finding your happy place and going there as often as you can, about an attitude of gratitude, having a good spiritual practice, meditating, finding movement that restores and lights you up, and of course, good nutrition.
It’s because I believe they’re essential to maintaining/restoring amazing health and vitality. I know this for sure because I needed them all, and more, to restore my health after developing Adrenal Fatigue and Fibromyalgia. Now I wouldn’t be without them because I’m thriving and that’s invaluable to me, so I’m never giving them up!! Some of these things were already in my life, and valued for sure, but underestimated. They all have a huge impact on your health, even if you’re generally a ‘well’ person, but even more crucial if you’re not.
If you, or someone you love, is struggling with Adrenal Fatigue, Fibromyalgia or an auto immune illness, I’d love to help you bring back your spark and feel alive again. Just use the contact page on this site so we can connect.

A fresh start every day

Aren’t we lucky? We get a fresh start every time the sun comes up! Whether it’s a chance to keep striving towards that passion that’s burning in your belly or whether it’s a chance to keep digging your way out of a hole until you can see the sun, it doesn’t matter because it’s all important and all meaningful. We’re all on our own journeys and there’s no right or wrong way to go about it, you just do it your way, and if something doesn’t quite go to plan…I can assure you that it’s meant to happen that way and tomorrow is a new day, to start with fresh eyes and savour every minute of!

Learn to giggle at yourself

So, if you’re anything like me, you do stupid things on a pretty regular basis! The spoon thing?….that’s just the beginning of a very long list for me😂 The important thing is that you don’t take it too seriously. Learn to love the ditzy, the clumsy, the gullible in you, and in others. Sure, you might’ve mucked up your freshly done hair & make up when you washed the spoon , or you might have worn your top backwards for a whole day in public without realising (oh, was that just me?) but what does it matter? It just means you’re providing yourself with ‘comedy gold’ entertainment pretty regularly and you’re gaining perspective so that you can see others through more forgiving eyes because at the end of the day, we’re all just trying to do ‘life’ the best way we know how,

You have it within you

When I was diagnosed with Adrenal Fatigue & Fibromyalgia I was told “there’s nothing I can do for that” by my Dr I felt hopeless, helpless and utterly terrified. So began my journey to learn, to grieve, to fight, to accept, to grow, to surrender, & finally, to conquer this thing that was threatening to swallow me whole. No trial, no trauma is purely sent to us so that we suffer.
A wise woman said that pain (in all it’s forms) is like a travelling professor who goes around & knocks on everyone’s door & the wisest people say “Come in & don’t leave until you’ve taught me what I need to know” Everything we need to know to become the people we’re meant to be, comes from our painful experiences. We have it within us to overcome it & emerge stronger & more refined.
I would’ve given anything to have someone walk beside me & reassure me that I’ll be ok, that they know exactly how to help. To have someone validate all that I was feeling & tell me I haven’t lost my mind. That it does feel like one giant bruise all over your whole body, it does feel like you’re walking through thick mud all the time, it does feel like the entire world is offensive – so bright it hurts your eyes, so loud it hurts your ears, so fast it makes you dizzy, and that everything does seem so incredibly overwhelming.
As a holistic health coach, I now have the privilege of being able to be that person & “walk people home” so to speak. Help them see that they have it within them to heal themselves & create a life they love & it is such an honour.
If you, or anyone you know suffers from Adrenal Fatigue, Fibromyalgia or any auto-immune disease, please share this post with them, have a look at my website & even better, connect with me and allow me the privilege of walking more people home,

Find your happy place

Do you have a place you go to that makes you feel humble? A place where all your troubles just seem to melt away, or gain perspective, or a positive spin perhaps? The beach is my happy place. I’m a bit of an over thinker – well, that’s being polite really, I’m an epic over thinker! I’m always letting myself spend too much time in the future, trying to sort it all out, play out every possible scenario and come up with a detailed plan. This is ridiculous, of course, but logic doesn’t come into it, unfortunately. Now that I’m aware of this insidious habit though, I’m much better at knowing how to stop it in it’s tracks before I lash out and buy every insurance plan known to man and leave the house wearing a bubble suit. I head to the beach, if I’m lucky, or at the very least, I head out into nature. There’s something about the size of the ocean that makes your worries seem small and insignificant, something about the power of the waves that convinces you Mother Nature knows exactly what she’s doing, something about your feet on the earth that makes everything within you feel grounded and steady and convinces you that anxiety is just a wasted opportunity to breathe into things and just appreciate. So, what might your happy place be? I hope you’ve discovered it already and can visit it often, but if not, enjoy the search.

Today is the day!

Today is the day I welcome my business “Nourish – Holistic Health Coaching” into the universe! 6 years ago my life was turned upside down when I had a major health crisis and was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia & Adrenal Fatigue. However, it was the beginning of an amazing journey of discovery as I learned how to improve my wellbeing and defy the “norm” by making dietary and lifestyle changes that impacted my health way more than any prescription did! I want to offer up my knowledge and dedication to anyone else who is struggling with their health & wellbeing or trying to navigate their way through a chronic illness, and is just tired of feeling tired, helpless and hopeless. I can be your coach, your personal cheerleader & support you in achieving your goals and creating a life you love! So if you , or someone you love, is ready to stop struggling and start living please, connect with me…I’m ready if you are! Consults can be done in person or virtually so there’s no limits! You can follow me on Facebook,Instagram & Twitter, Sunshine & Happiness,

Surviving is important

So many of us are out there, everyday, just being “reactive” in our lives. It can get so busy and we can just get pushed from pillar to post and never really take the time to step back! Step back and have a look at the beautiful people around you, the constant companions, the loyal family, the loving pets, the sun on our face, the food on our plates, the breath filling our lungs, the tune in our heads, the first cuppa of the day…the list goes on! We’re not here to just observe our lives as they whoosh past us! We’re here to live it, soak it up, experience it and best of all, change it, create it and make it sparkle! It’s instinct and it’s habit  to survive – surviving is important but, why not put a little energy into thriving and see how elegant you can be:)
