As we come to the end of a big year for many, it can be incredibly insightful to reflect on the year that was and set intentions for the year ahead. Here are some beautiful questions to contemplate and take some time over the next few days to consider. Happy New Year!   If there was one word to describe this year it would be…   The things I did do that I wanted to do…   The things I didn’t do that...

There are times when we all need to take refuge from our busy lives so we can soothe, relax, rebalance and re-energise our tired bodies. And Christmas is no different. Whilst we can dream of booking into a resort or spa and indulging in all kinds of treatments, time and or money can be an issue so why not create your own home spa as a practical and rejuvenating alternative. Here are some simple an...

‘So really, the key difference with transcendental meditation is we’re not trying to control the mind, or concentrate, or visualise or be mindful of our thoughts. And all these things activate the mind to some extent. And that’s why if you’ve got a really busy mind or you’re very anxious, it’s really hard to do those techniques. Now an analogy that’s often used when we talk about Transcendental Me...

Behaviour refers to what you think as well as what you say and do – what you consciously get up to. All of your behaviour actually has a purpose and a positive intention at that (even the bad habits)! In this week’s Quicky we look at a series of questions you could ask if you need to change your behaviours to get the results you want. Change at the behavioural level is easier to make when you have...

Working on oneself is a lifelong commitment. Mastering oneself takes a conscious commitment and dedication that allows an individual to break through sabotaging, limiting beliefs and focus on what is truly important to live the life they truly deserve. Liz Sefton and Kimberly Steele share this week what they observed in seeing a group of amazing souls graduate from the Essential Self-Mastery Progr...

Our bodies are designed to work with nature. There is a natural synergy that allows our bodies to better absorb and utilise nature’s ingredients. It makes sense then that when it comes to sourcing optimum health for your skin and body, you should look to the greatest beauty laboratory in the world… Mother Nature. In this weeks Quicky we look at a few amazing ingredients to treat your skin like the...

‘There’s the concept of allostatic load so what we know is that chronic pain becomes basically a nervous system issue, your nervous system can get really ramped up and get really good at expressing pain beyond what it needs to. We know that things like lack of sleep, our emotions, allergies, anything else that is going to increase our inflammatory load or put stress on our system is actually going...

Change is a journey between where you are and where you will be. In NLP we express that as the journey between the present state and the desired state. If you do not have what you want in your life, it is because the path is blocked by an issue or problem – perhaps a habit you want to change. It is in this space we get to uncover the programs you are running and help you reprogram the unconscious...

‘Hormones and genetics are really a small, small part of it. I now know after a long, long time, that the nervous system is so closely related, it is unbelievable. Our gut function is even more closely related. You know we have 12 systems in our body and when one is out, it has a domino effect on the rest. And so, you really can’t look at skin as just what we see here, although that’s obviously wh...

Mastering oneself is not some simple 3 step process. It takes time, energy, commitment, curiosity, openness and education. It is a constant learning without blaming being in denial or making excuses. Self-mastery puts us at the helm with skills and resources to manage all that happens in our lives. Here are some simple practical ways you can master your life with ease and grace. Some key practical...

‘I just got so disheartened seeing people get so confused and there’s so much green washing and so much marketing… people, clients of mine would go out trying to take on what we’ve done in a session, and they would think that they were doing the right thing and they came back and I’m like oh so close, so close. And they’d just slightly miss the mark, and then just watching their face, I was just l...

As the debate on the quality of essential oils rises, it is important we do not get caught up in stories, or well meaning sellers, or a brand war. What we need to know is that essential oils are sourced from all around the world based on the best geographical locations for the plants to grow. It is also important to note that there are only so many producers of each essential oil worldwide and in...

“I had this moment where I was like I’m fixing the broken person, but what happens if we fixed ourselves as women before we were broken? What happens if we actually recognised at the point of things starting to go a little pear-shaped, that we got curious then?” Dr Nat Kringoudis It’s almost like we are taught to grow up hating on our hormones, or blaming our hormones for all of the issues that ca...

How can a word like BUT completely change a conversation and turn something maybe with a positive, intent into something that gets completely squashed and in fact creates a very negative outcome? In this Quicky we look at how changing the word BUT for AND could give you a completely different outlook and way more positive interactions. Try it for 7 days! Imagine you are with a close friend or some...

“My nickname for many many many years professionally from one of my managers a lifetime ago, she said to me, ‘You are marshmallow covered steel!’ I love that! I talk very much about that ability to be a brave leader, but a brave leader with heart. So I think it’s balancing the authenticity of who we are as women and being proud of that. I think as a woman, when I sit at a board table and I’m the o...

‘So, I was looking at another way that I could use my skillset and use my passion for telling stories and self-publishing. And the world of books is just going absolutely gang-busters. I think I saw some stats the other day that book sales of self-published authors around the world has increased by 240% in the last five years, so it’s massive and so I saw a lot of potential there. But also, the pe...

‘I firmly believe nothing is ever lost or nothing is ever wasted in life that we go through. And I think by hitting rock bottom, and pulling myself out of it, it has shown me just exactly what I am actually capable of. I think it’s the darker parts of being human, that when we are brave enough, and we have the courage to go there and then move through it and pull ourselves out of it, it actually s...

“Sometimes we use the Mother-Guilt as an excuse, but there’s no reason why we can’t have it all. Like, there really isn’t a reason why we can’t have it all. And to be able to do business and what we want to do in our life well, and be able to be beautiful mum’s as well. And I think it’s great to be able to show your kids that you are doing something that is purposeful in life and for them to see t...

‘We pretend, or maybe we just don’t know how to feel those other ‘bad emotions’. We don’t want to feel them, we don’t know how to feel them, we don’t know what we’re feeling, and it’s a real challenge. And we do say, ‘Yeah I’m good’, ‘Yeah I’m ok’, but in my experience everyone’s got something there on their chest that they need to get off. Everyone’s got some guilt and shame they’re carrying arou...
