Solo Journey: Learning Love & Self-Love, Not Filling the Void

This solo travel adventure has been an unexpected, introspective journey. It's been a deep dive into the concept of being alone, yet not lonely. It's about rediscovering a love for myself, independent of needing another person to complete me.

Letting go of the need to "fill the space" has been incredibly liberating. It's like unearthing a part of myself I buried long ago. The awareness of my abandonment wounds is present, but it no longer dictates my actions. There's no desperate need to seek validation, fill the void with someone else's presence, or cling to the expectation of companionship to feel complete.

Witnessing myself grow into this place of self-wisdom – the adult version of myself – has been truly incredible. It's a testament to the power of self-discovery and the magic that unfolds when we allow ourselves the space to explore.

The Raw Vulnerability of Being Alone

But this journey hasn't been all sunshine and roses. One of the biggest challenges of solo travel has been confronting the raw vulnerability of being alone. It's a constant dance – waxing in and out of that feeling. There are moments of pure joy,exploring hidden corners and indulging in personal whims. But then, there are evenings where the silence feels heavy, and the absence of a companion can sting.

Embracing the Discomfort

However, it's in these moments of vulnerability that the real growth happens. By embracing, rather than shying away from, this discomfort, I've learned to connect with myself on a deeper level. I've discovered a wellspring of inner strength and resilience I never knew existed.

The Unexpected Companionship

This journey has also been a beautiful lesson in trust. The trust that, even when I'm physically alone, I am never truly isolated. The incredible people I've met along the way have been a source of constant inspiration. Their stories, their kindness, and their shared experiences have woven a rich tapestry of connection.

Home is Wherever You Make It

Perhaps the most profound realization is that I haven't felt alone once. This solo travel has shown me that home isn't a physical location, but a feeling I can carry within myself. It's the comfort of knowing I have the ability to create a sense of belonging wherever I go, anchored not in places, but in the strength and self-love I've discovered.
This transformative journey is an inspiration to others seeking self-discovery. Keep exploring, and keep sharing your story!

The Freedom to Repeat

And the most exciting takeaway? I'm leaving with an incredible capacity for trust. Trust in myself, my ability to navigate the world, and the kindness of strangers. This isn't a one-time thing. I can embark on this adventure again and again,without the fear of losing something, but only gaining so much more. The world is my oyster, and I'm ready to explore it,one adventure at a time.

No Longer Seeking, Just Being

This newfound sense of self-sufficiency is incredibly empowering. I no longer rely on external validation or seek to fill a void with another person's presence. The urge to complain or expect something from the world has faded, replaced by a deep sense of acceptance and a willingness to simply be.

Unmasked and Re-Awakened: A Journey of Self-Acceptance and Peace ‍♀️

This journey of self-discovery has been a wild ride, filled with love, compassion, and sometimes, yes, even a touch of something darker: a pathetic grasping, a yearning for something more, a mix of wanting, expecting, and feeling entitled. I didn't realize it at the time, but these emotions were intertwined with the seemingly positive aspects of my life.

However, I didn't realize it at the time, but this constant motion of escape was always present. Because I disliked these uncomfortable emotions, I desperately sought to avoid, cover, and escape them with all my might. I found refuge in spiritual bypass, and for a while, it seemed to work. It helped me evade the wounds festering within me.

But even after that, the cycle continued. For ten years, I fixated on raw food as another escape route. Living in an estate focused on clean living felt like the answer, yet it too, became a dead end.

As I've come to learn, true healing doesn't come from avoidance. It comes from embracing our pain, trauma, and shame. It comes from accepting ourselves fully, recognizing these experiences as part of our journey.

This is the path I now walk, and with each step, I feel the love within me grow stronger, nourished by self-love and self-compassion.

Breathe in the beauty, breathe out the stress ❤️

|| MY BODY REMINDS ME WHEN TO EAT A RAW VEGAN MEAL || ~ and I listen!!

Are you leaning towards comfort eating with this change of season? It can get quite cold in early Autumn in the southern states of Australia.

I am sorry it’s been a while since I posted on instagram but suddenly felt inspired to say hello.

We often indulge in too many comforting foods with a cooler change in weather. It is wise to be mindful and apply conscious eating during these times.

Applying mindful eating is crucial during this time of change and transition.

A mix of warming foods added to a mix of raw food is the way to go.

Remember your body needs enzymes for proper functions. Raw food generates energy, it is anti inflammatory, alkaline and becomes your medicine.

My delicious lunch salad consist of freshly picked home grown tomatoes, basil, spinach, mustard leaves, spring onions, parsley and edible rocket flowers added as an extra. All these vegetables are all grown from my garden tubs and filled with airborne bacteria good for gut health. I also added bought cucumber and corn.

There’s so much joy in growing my own vegetables.

I continue to advise that raw food is healing and food is the best medicine.

Let me know if I can help you be the best version of yourself.

The fountain of youth is found in leafy greens.

For years now I have tired to influence my family, friends, community and clients to consume regular daily green smoothies.

These green smoothies when consumed on a daily basis will deliver an abundant of nutritional value. However please rotate your green, or the accumulated alkaloid of one particular greens will provide a toxic overload in the system and can undo a lot of good.

Green leafy vegetables are a good food combination and generally mixes well wtih any fruit combination. I especially prefer bananas. And according the legendary Jane Goodall monkeys and chimpanzees also wrap their bananas with green leaves. And that must say something.

My recipe of green smoothie is such an elixir for a good healthy life. The rotational green smoothies are filled with chlorophyll, calcium and ensymes.

I can think of a few benefits for consuming green smooathies on a daily basis.

Firstly it protects the brain and gives clarity. Getting more greens in your diet relieves stress due to the calcium intake. It will improve an anti-inflammatory and immune response. It clears toxins. It is alkaline.

Boosting our digestive with green smoothies ensures less bloating, supports optimal gut health with prebiotic and helps balance blood sugar levels.

Everyone wants to keep young and healthy with a youthful glow to their skin. The greens will do just that, it is an anti-aging agent.

It really makes a difference to the mind, body and spirit.

Wishing a Happy Mother's Day to ALL women, for we are all mothers of the heart, even if we never become mothers of the womb. To the women who are not yet mothers, to mothers who have tried so hard to become mothers, and to those women who have chosen not to become mothers, but take on a mothering role for the children of others, for their family and their friends.

We honour all of you ❤️

My whole family minus my 95 year old mother had Covid.

Eeekk Covid is no walk in the park, nor in my opinion is it like a cold or the flu.

As a naturopath, and a food as medicine coach, one would think my immunity was in top shape and strong enough to keep me in good stead after contracting Covid. For the last 2.5 years I have had done heaps to build my immune system through various supplement protocols and nutrition.

Covid hit me hard. It was also concerning seeing other family members suffer the same way and not able to help very much.

Surpringly I regain my taste and smell after 4 days of loosing it.

I am in my 4th week after contracting Covid, I have my life back seemingly, my energy almost back to normal but I am congested and coughing a lot and still experiencing a lot of sweats.

During the 7 days of experiencing Covid symptoms I relied on the nurse on call a lot. It was great to hear so many old fashion remedies come to light once again such as steam showers, inhaling eucalyptus steam, ginger tea, lemon water, salt water gargling, Vick v***r rubs on the chest at night and salt baths.

A nurse even shared with me how she meditated her way through Covid. That’s an amazing advice.

The nurses recommended taking vitamin C and zinc also.

Hooray to the nurses and the services being provided. They’ve got your back and are angels in times of uncertainty.

I am back with a whole lot more compassion, empathy and understanding for anyone suffering from Covid out there.

I give you my love and good thoughts.

My son has Covid.

Iso means he gets his nails painted by his girls my grand daughters.

From this to that.

Happy 38th birthday Oliver. You are a wonderful son, brother, father and as I see it also a wonderful husband. Enjoy your day darling. I feel very blessed to call you and your brother my sons.

I am sorry Covid is keeping me away from celebrating your special day.

The light.

Eat to feed your microbiome. This is your immune system. You need this to fight a virus.

The best way to increase microbiome diversity is by eating a wide range of plant-based foods, which are high in fibre, and limiting ultra-processed foods including junk food.

Following a Mediterranean diet has also been shown to improve gut microbiome diversity and reduce inflammation: eating plenty of fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds and whole grains; healthy fats like high-quality extra virgin olive oil.

Avoid alcohol, salt, sweets and sugary drinks, and artificial sweeteners or other additives.

|| MAURITIAN TOMATO CHATINI RECIPE || ~ Or guacamole.

How are your tomatoes ripening? Getting to my ready to eat tomatoes is a competition between my neighbors, myself or the ghost possum as who gets to them first.

It’s a great time of the year for heirloom tomatoes.

Below is our traditional Mauritian Creole salsa recipe which we called Chatini.

2-3 large chopped fresh tomatoes.
Half diced onion
Half a bunch of coriander chopped
Salt to taste
1 small chopped red chili (optional).

Mix together on a chopping board. Then chop away with a large knife until well blended resembling using a food processor blend.

As a Mauritian, I use this chutney regularly as a condiment with rice dishes particularly.

Surprise surprise …..
It doubles as the best guacamole ever by adding one whole mashed avocado.

A winner both.

We hear so much about diet, restrictions of calories (my pet hate), and dietary and food plans and it is all too confusing for many of us. ⁠
⁠
Do you know that there is another way of eating? ⁠
⁠
It is intuitive eating which means connecting with food, and your feelings. Take your power back. You can do it. ⁠
⁠
Sometimes food will let you down, but connecting with the choice of food with humility will eventually give you more to learn about yourself. ⁠
⁠
We all have a story behind food. The way we were fed when small, the way our parents talked about food around us and the food you were fed. As children we take on the stories of food from our parents as truth. ⁠
⁠
Our likes and dislikes of food is interconnected with our acid/alkaline baseline. This can direct a fair bit of traffic and create inflammation and illnesses.
⁠
Food can be either poison or medicine, but first we need to connect our minds and feelings with the food we eat.⁠
⁠
If you want to know more, please take 30 minutes of your valuable time and connect with me for free. ⁠
⁠
Taking that first step is important and of course is up to you to make the change. ⁠
⁠
The support you are going to receive is unlike anything you will have experienced before. ⁠
⁠
The support you will receive is physical, mental and spiritual while you lose weight and get to feel the best version of yourself. ⁠

I spent a week in the Catskills forest in NYS studying the magic of herbal remedies with Susun W**d and she also taught us remedies for colds and flus.

Linden Infusion

Linden is the world’s leading anti-cold and anti-flu herb. It prevents and heals all respiratory distresses (but is not an anti-infective). It is a cooling and strengthening herb. Linden is considered safe for children and elders.
Linden is primarily used as a tea, though I prefer the curative powers of a strong infusion.

* 30 grams of linden blossoms
* One litre of boiling water

Steep for four hours. I strain off the first brew and refrigerate it, then rebrew the wet linden flowers by adding two cups of cold water to them in a saucepan. I bring this rebrew to a boil, cover, and let sit for four hours to extract the healing mucilage that is triggered by the cold water.

Figs delicious figs. Don’t you just love them.

An overdue sunny break.

Thank you family.
