Nutrition Education at AWC …

Many of our patients find that a comprehensive nutrition education course is a valuable and time savvy way to begin implementing life-changing nutrition and lifestyle advice.

Delivered in our clinic space ~ our next course beginning early September with sessions covering: anatomy, the plate, making energy, the importance of hydration, and much more!

After completing this education, you’ll receive a 7-day meal plan that exemplifies the fundamentals of supporting true cellular health.

Please be in touch directly if you have further questions and want to be added to our next group. Our spaces are limited, and are filling quickly!

Intention of the day ~ Compassion

Today, we remind ourselves to respond from a place of compassion.

Compassion is the sensitivity to the humanity in yourself, and others. It means prioritising careful listening, and being motivated to take action when someone needs support.

Carry compassion with you today - for yourself, and those around you.

Going Slowly ...

Learning how to slow down is one of the most essential skills that deepens the relationship we have with ourselves, and with others.

When we consciously slow our thoughts, words and actions, we often become more connected to our desires, consciousness, energy and control. This deepened connection is also transmitted to our closest of family and friends.

Slowing down helps us stay connected to conscious movement and thought, making each word or gesture an expression of our depth.

Most of us have experienced the difficulty to connect while our nervous system is revved up, versus when it is slowed and not overstimulated.

Remember, slowing down doesn't equate to dullness. It's about consolidating and channeling our energy in a potent and measured way.

This approach allows us to convey strength and consciousness, all the while cultivating greater trust in ourselves and others through each moment.

Come ~ allow us to walk beside you slowly.

It's been incredibly inspiring to see the changes not only in this patient's vibrancy and outlook on life - but also physically in the clearing of skin redness, joint pain, mobility, inflammation and eczema. Thank you, Darren, for sharing your powerful outpatient program experience with us.

"After quitting the job I hated, it seemed like the perfect time to undertake a promise l'd made to myself. The promise, simply put, was to undertake a cleanse and return my body to 'base. The 'whys' are easy to say, but not to solve. Why am I suffering bloating, why does my body ache so much, why does my mood bias negative these days and why is my facial skin so bad? Red brows and eczema for a beard. Not much fun.

As is usual I approached conventional medicine, who prescribed me the 'cures. These 'cures' generally had little to no effect past very short-term. My own food and drink cull produced such mixed results, and was completely unhelpful. It was at this point, I knew I had to get what was 'in', 'out. Returning to 'base!.

Having already been a patient of AWC, I was aware of their outpatient program and the fact they were a trustworthy ethical business. For the most part I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of cleansing, the most challenging obstacle being 'all the things your brain 'wants' are out and all the things your brain and body 'need' are in.

Sound easy? It isn't trust me, nor is it an instant results gig. Prepare, focus, patience, results.

I highly and thoroughly recommend this program.

All previous 'whys' rescinded.

Good Luck!!" ~ Darren Bailey

Drivers of Acne …

We know that many of the primary drivers of acne stem from deep within the body. The main drivers we see affecting our patients' skin include: having an over-burdened liver, hormonal imbalances, opportunistic pathogen overgrowth (bacteria, fungi, parasites) and gut permeability.

While it's imperative that we take care of these internal factors when working towards optimal skin health - it's also important to note the importance of our skin's delicate microbiome.

Our skin's unique microbiome keeps our skin barrier healthy - maintaining the hydration within, and ensuring pollutants and bacteria stay out. A majority of the products on the market including make up, creams, soaps, cleansers, wipes, sunscreens etc. contain harmful ingredients that disrupt the skin microbiome.

The skin absorbs what we put on it - including chemicals, so choose wisely!

Our Lili ~

We celebrate you every day, but today we are celebrating 2 years with you in our space, how blessed we are!

Taking on more responsibility of the day to day running of our clinic, you do this with such eagerness. Your support alongside me, our team and our patients is handled with such care and grace.

Seeing you flourish, both personally and professionally warms our spirit, and brings us such a feeling of joy - know this.

You are an integral part of what we do, our patient experience and our patient results.

For this, with my hand on my heart - I thank you deeply 🙏❤️

The Organic Coffee Infusion …

One of the wonderful ways our bodies respond to a coffee infusion colonic is by significantly increasing the production of antioxidants (compounds that protect against cell damage).

One antioxidant called glutathione can be stimulated up to 700% that of the usual level after a coffee infusion colonic.

Some other benefits include:
Eliminating Heavy Metals Eliminating Excess Oestrogen Reducing Oxidative Stress Damage Clearing Candida Overgrowth Clearing Parasites Reducing Anxiety

Intention of the day - CONSISTENCY …

“Today I will live with consistency”. Imagining this process as an ever-increasing, upward, spiral staircase.

Small efforts (and small steps) compound over time, propelling us to personal growth. Before we know it - we will be exactly where we dreamed of being, and onward from there.

The power in the testimony below stems from this lovely young patients eagerness to make changes in her health and the positive attitude she held towards the process of change. Thank you for sharing. 🙏

‘I first went to Nardia with the aim of improving my skin. At the time, I was 16 years old and this experience was new to me. Nardia immediately made me feel very comfortable, and ensured I understood everything that was going on in my body which may have been affecting my skin. Each session with her I have learnt more and more about my body, and have noticed great changes in not only my skin, but my overall wellbeing. I have so much more energy and find myself being overall happier. I am currently 17 years old and I would 100% recommend anyone, especially people my age, to speak with Nardia if they can. I really appreciate everything she has done for me, and am so so happy with the results!!’ ~ G.S.

Skin Signals ….

Our skin, the largest organ of the human body, is deserving of support and attention. It will indicate when we are out of balance, and when there may be internal issues to attend to.

Some everyday ways to support skin include:

- Ensuring adequate hydration
- Dry brushing
- Limiting cosmetic products
- Infrared sauna therapy
- Ocean swims

Along with promoting the above, our clinic works with nutrition and colon hydrotherapy to support skin from within.

Come, let us support your wellness from the inside out.

Digest Mindfully …

Optimal digestion is the result of so much more than what happens inside our stomach and intestines.

It begins when we first see our food and start producing saliva in anticipation. Once eating, optimal digestion is more likely to occur when we aren’t distracted and when we are chewing thoroughly. When we are digesting our food properly, we will be far less likely to experience bloating, gas and indigestion.

Putting your cutlery down in between each bite, eating in a comfortable, seated position away from phones, laptops and the T.V. are some simple ways to enhance digestion.

Seemingly small changes often result in big differences, especially when implemented consistently.

Read on to uncover a powerful testimony regarding one of our patients’ respiratory system. As always, it’s an honour for us to hold space and contribute to healing. 🙏

‘I was enchanted by the space and Nardia. This atmosphere, this calm, this silence something I hadn’t felt for sometime after being on a ventilator for 16 days with Covid when hospitalised in May. When I came out of hospital, my breathing was very weak. I couldn’t walk 20 minutes without feeling short of breath and fatigued. I was referred to Nardia by a dear friend who thought she and the salt therapy may be able to assist. Nardia took the time and care to sit with me before my session, explain everything in detail, nurture my emotion and tears given my recent ordeal. Once inside the cabin, Nardia talked through a series of breathing and stretching exercises - and stayed with me as I asked her to. She delayed her next patient in order for this to happen, 4 sessions later and I feel so much better. My physical and emotional condition is improving. I can breathe and I am back to walking daily for 45 minutes without struggle. I have chosen to continue with a maintenance plan which is very affordable and as Nardia gently explains true health is about prevention.’ - Anonymous

Know Your Challenge …

Life is challenging. Each and every one of us will naturally encounter our fair share from time to time, across different periods of our lives.

Although often viewed as destructive and worth numbing or avoiding, it can be helpful to see the challenges you face as constructive - catalysts for greater strength, wisdom and confidence.

“Every fall is a chance to rise” - K Tolnoe

Feeling Heard Allows Healing …

It is not just the qualification and years of experience that makes for an effective therapist.

We feel there should be more emphasis on the quality of the relationship between the patient and the therapist. A relationship that allows for space and time to delve more deeply into the areas of our life in which we desire guidance.

In this, it’s worth understanding that our heart is such a powerful source of electrical energy, as is our brain. When the electrical waves in our heart and brain are in sync, our bodies enter a state of calm presence.

Recent studies have shown that the most effective moments in clinical therapy tend to occur when these electrical waves are also in sync between the patient and therapist.

This tended to occur when the therapist was listening, rather than speaking.

We believe that most profound impact occurs when a patient is truly heard. A therapists capacity to listen, being in the present moment with their patient, and therefore understanding them better - is invaluable.

Come - let us listen, let the healing happen.

Winter Warmth ...

As the temperature starts to drop outside, winter produce can support us in feeling energised and warm throughout the next few months. Let the zingy and abundant citrus energise your cells, and the hearty cooked dishes sustain you throughout your days.

We encourage you to introduce some of the following seasonal fruits and veggies into your kitchen:

Fruit: apples, pears, cumquats, grapefruit, oranges, tangelos, persimmons, lemons, limes, quinces and avocado.

Vegetables: beetroot, broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, peas, artichoke, kale, okra, radish, potato, pumpkin, sweet potato, swede, turnip, onions and garlic.

Remember, eating with the seasons often means you will be eating with a focus on sustainability, supporting local farms - with the added benefit of fresher, tastier produce!

What new ingredients will you try to stay warm and grounded this winter?

Honey - the miraculous herb!

There are live enzymes in honey - when in contact with a metal spoon, these enzymes die.

We recommend serving or eating honey with a wooden or plastic spoon.

Honey contains a substance that helps our brain work better, and is one of the rare foods on earth that alone can sustain human life - one teaspoon of honey is enough to sustain human life for 24 hours.

The propolis that bees produce is one of the most powerful natural antibiotics - it is antibacterial, antiviral, can support the breakdown of parasitic infections, and is a great transporter of goodness throughout the body.

Some other fun facts about honey:
Honey has no expiration date
A bee lives less than 40 days, visits at least 1000 flowers, and produces less than a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime
One of the first coins had a bee symbol on it
The bodies of the great emperors of the world were buried in golden coffins and then covered with honey to prevent putrification
The term "honeymoon" comes from the fact that newlyweds consumed honey for fertility after the wedding

Today we celebrate and thank the humble BEE!

This lovely patient experienced great change in their wellbeing after taking on Nutrition Education, and by allowing us to guide them through other supportive therapies in our clinic space. We are truly inspired by the commitment this patient has made to their health. 🙏

“I visited Nardia at Adelaide Wellness Clinic for an initial consultation and colon hydrotherapy due to having constant issues with skin and bloating. I had tried many other treatments/ remedies for both but couldn’t find one that worked. Nardia educated me on nutrition, digestion, the body, and much, much more! Since then, I have implemented the fluid rule (water intake) and made adjustments to my plate which have made a big difference such as clearer skin, smaller face shape, less bloating and no sickening feeling once I’ve eaten. I have had an additional 3 coffee infusions and attended the nutrition program and have found each visit to the clinic extremely beneficial. Within the 3 months of my initial visit, I have noticed positive changes, healing and growth both physically and mentally. Nardia always made the space safe and comfortable, allowing me to share anything with her and because of it, has had an enormous impact on my journey so far. Her constant check ins and always being there for support no matter when, never goes unnoticed. Additionally, Lili and Alex have also made the process in all visits simple through their communication and welcoming nature. Would highly recommend visiting Nardia and her team - she is amazing and I couldn’t thank her enough!” ~ V.F.

Small Changes, Greater Impact …

There will be a small price increase for certain colon hydrotherapy services.

These changes will be effective from 1/7/2024 on select appointments.

This price change has been put in place to reflect the needs of our patients while allowing us to continue providing our highest in quality services.

For more cost effective options, be sure to consider our therapy packages. You may visit our website or contact us directly for more information.

We greatly appreciate your continued support of our South Australian small business. The economic conditions of today don’t make it easy for small businesses, but we are so grateful to be here.

You are the ones that enable us to continue making difference and changing your story.

Thank you, simply ~ thank you 🙏

Mindfulness …

This word has become ubiquitous. Prompts to be mindful seem to be touted throughout books and modern media, often solely relating to mindfulness internally OR in the mind, and relating solely to the practice of meditation.

Mindfulness as we encourage and practice - is the simple process of actively noticing things, no meditation required. When mindful, we notice things we didn't notice before, and we come to see that we didn't know the things we thought we knew as well as we thought we did. Everything becomes interesting and potentially useful in a new way.

Embracing this concept of mindfulness unlocks a realm of possibilities for effectively managing our health, allowing us to harness the transformative potential of a mindful body with ease.

Come - mindfully arrive, mindfully detach, and mindfully be.

Intention of the day .... HARMONY

The balance between strength and grace - like the admiration for a dancer, who possess both power and control in their movements. This translates to life - strive for a balance between assertiveness and empathy, forceful action and thoughtful reflection.

Today I embody myself, and all that I do, with Harmony.

A warm thank you to one of our valued patients for sending through this review. The AWC team cherishes having you in our space, and we look forward to seeing you next 🙏

‘I have been regularly visiting Adelaide Wellness Clinic for over 6 months now, mostly doing organic coffee infusions with the lovely ladies Nardia and Alex, but also for infrared sauna and salt cabin sessions. I have genuinely seen such a huge shift in my health, and I cannot say how thankful I am for the health advice and treatment that this clinic has provided me with.

I am always greeted with the warmest welcome from Lili, offering to fill up my drink bottle and ensuring I am feeling settled before my appointments. She has worked tirelessly to fit me in the busy schedule, and the consistent and thorough guidance from Nardia has set me up with every chance to succeed and improve my symptoms. I have seen the most change in my cycle, with much less discomfort/mood changes. With my focus on Nardia's advice, in addition to consistent coffee infusions, each month I have felt better and brighter. My mental health has seen a big positive shift, as well as my skin, energy, digestion, sleep and focus. I am in awe of the transformation after just a few months, I'm forever grateful!

Alex has the most calming and thoughtful energy, Nardia has mentored me so closely and kindly and provides a wealth of knowledge, and Lili ensures I leave every appointment with a big smile on my face. These women have the genuine passion to see clients heal and become their best selves, and it has been such a pleasure to feel so included and cared for in their practice. Thank you times a million!’ ~ SB

Leave home with a little extra love ...

Kissing and hugging your partner, family or friends goodbye for a little longer each day has been shown to increase life span by at least 4 years.

We love giving our patients a hug before they leave our space if they need it. When at home in your own space, we recommend extending the length of your goodbye hug.

Forget the quick peck, and go for a lingering, meaningful gesture. A 6 second kiss or 20 second hug has much more potential. In this extended exchange you will be secreting oxytocin, which promotes the sense of psychological safety, connection and bonding.

Human connection is such a significant component of deep healing - come, let us hold space for you.

Autumn Joy …

As we come into Autumn, we encourage you to try some new foods that may be characteristically sweet, earthy, grounding, or all of the above!

Seasonal eating in Autumn means selecting more of the following:

Vegetables: brussels sprouts, cabbage, capsicum, celeriac, celery, chicory, eggplant, kale, zucchini, spinach, swede and turnip.

Remember, eating with the seasons often means you will be eating with a focus on sustainability, supporting local farms - with the added benefit of fresher, tastier produce!

What's your favourite fruit or vegetable this season?

Below you will read a testimonial from a patient who has completely shifted their health and is now reflecting such vibrancy. We have witnessed an incredible change, that, along with our therapies, can be attributed to the diligence and positivity of this clients outlook. Thank you for allowing us this privilege 🙏

‘Sometimes a diagnosis kicks you into the action that you know you’ve been needing to take for some time.

Mine was the big ‘C’! (Stage 1). I’m an introvert and regimented in my ways and have been for years. Early to rise, coffees, ci******es, and at the desk slogging away for long hours. When I spoke quietly about my diagnosis to a close friend, I was referred to see Nardia. I am not going to lie, I was a little sceptical, although I had experienced colonic irrigation many years ago.

Entering the clinic, I was nervous and agitated - yet immediately hit with a sense of calm. I was greeted by Lili, this angelic warm, gentle, nurturing nature - I felt even more at ease. Then, I was hit by the next level of this with Nardia - paired with a knowledge, experience, wisdom and honesty that was required albeit delivered with a smile, always a smile. I very quickly realised this was not just about colonic irrigation.

I wanted everything, all of the answers, all of the knowledge and all of the treatments, the programs that I heard about. With a gentleness I was advised that this may not be the best approach for me. I was very quickly informed that whilst we cannot wait, and we need to take action, we also need to take an individual case by case approach. In other words “slow down”. I asked many questions and they were welcomed, which felt foreign to me. I felt like I was being heard.

I took on what was suggested to me in our first session, starting with hydrating my body properly and specifically to me, a referral to someone who could help me with my smoking, a longer series of colonics on a very regular basis, and off I went nervous but determined.

Through each of my colon hydrotherapy sessions with Nardia I was guided through small and achievable changes with my nutrition, some funky massage and work being done on my abdomen, the time to speak, the time to listen and the time for silence. Somehow, this powerful gift that Nardia has to deliver what is required without even asking.

11 months has passed and I am now free of the big ‘C’, I am 28kg down, I no longer smoke, I no longer take medication for anxiety, cholesterol or high blood pressure.

I am no longer existing, I am living.

Thank you Nardia and team for the space you have created for me and many others to heal, continue to heal, to feel welcome as we are and as we come. I am and will always be forever grateful.’ ~ Anonymous

Intention of the day - CONFIDENCE!

All you have to be, is yourself.

Seeing to self requires honesty …

This means taking the actions that help you in the truest sense. Look after yourself as you would somebody else.

Movement and nutrition aren’t forceful or restrictive when seeing to self. Movement is self care, and nutrition is nourishment. You listen to the signals from your body, and respond accordingly.

Our bodies are wise, but so are we. When we are honest with ourselves, we can tune into what’s needed in the moment.

True self love is honest and must be at the centre of how you treat your self and your body. This will bring sustainability, balance and contentment.

Sunshine …

As we head towards winter solstice here in the southern hemisphere, and as daylight hours begin to dwindle, we thought it an especially important time to note the value of healthy sunlight exposure.

To list a few benefits, appropriate sun exposure:
Provides us with essential vitamin D
(a far too common Australian deficiency)
Supports a healthy circadian rhythm
(regulating melatonin production)
Strengthens the immune system
(improving cell function and fighting pathogens)

Just 10-20 minutes of safe exposure per day not only feels amazing in the moment, but can contribute a great deal to your ongoing well-being.

Stay on your path …

Whichever path you are travelling, remind yourself why you are here, what you are doing this for, and how far you’ve already come.
