You nourish, and are nourished, with scrumptious wholefoods.

You soothe your restless mind with the deep healing of meditation, and feed that same mind with pure and devoted affirmations.

The only new action required to activate your deep, inner knowing is to equip yourself with an effective healing toolkit: your Medicine Pouch.
The cosy, inviting smell of slow-cooked vegetable soup on the simmer…
The heavenly aroma of fresh bread as you stroll past the bakery at dawn…
The rich spice of your lover’s aftershave…
The fragrant bouquet of the flower markets…
The grounding scent of the incense burning as you set foot into your first yoga class…
Fragrance is so deeply evocative and emotional…
Yogic wisdom associates our sense of smell with the first chakra; The Base Chakra... Our roots, foundations and grounding in this world.
Our sense of smell is directly connected to the brain via the limbic system, which is mostly involved in emotional and motivational functions and memory triggers. That’s why just a tiny whisp of
scent can transport us back in time to forgotten moments, project us into expanding futures and create deep and ultimate presence.
Scent is one of our deepest healers.
I still remember the delicate perfume of the little Lavender pillow that was so lovingly placed over my eyes during the Savasana practice at the end of my very first yoga class. That very evening, I dreamed of the scent of Lavender, and it pulled me towards my next class… And my next… And the one after that…
I soon began sprinkling a few drops of Lavender oil on my pillow before bed, which calmed and relaxed me… Lavender became my greatest friend and ally at a time of great anxiety; soothing my insomnia and my feelings of panic and bringing solace, strength and sustenance.
To this day, my go-to ‘recipe’ for self-love is to light candles, play some gorgeous music and run a warm Epsom salt bath with a sprinkle of Lavender!
The soft, gently enveloping perfume of this beautiful purple blossom was, essentially, my introduction to my healing path. That’s how powerful scent is.
As a yoga teacher and health coach, I’ve noticed that the most common ‘stuff’ my beloved clients are dealing with is ultimately emotional:
- Stress…
- Anxiety…
- Depression…
These feelings can manifest in so many ways, including:
- Insomnia
- Headaches and migraines
- Poor immunity
- Lowered energy and vitality
- Body aches and pains
- Mood fluctuations
Since our bodies are so effected by emotion, healing through scent, and thereby directly benefiting our brains via the limbic system, makes perfect sense.
It was my own deeply transformative results with Lavender that led me to researching the benefits of botanical essential oils for myself, my loved ones and my clients.
