Blueberry Holistics by Caitríona

**Inspired by My Cousin’s Quadrathon Challenge**

I never thought I’d be back running again after struggling with reoccurring hip pain. It was frustrating, especially when I couldn’t do something I loved. When my cousin recently ran 4 marathons in 4 days, I felt inspired. My friend Gena was also training for her first marathon. If they could push through, maybe I could too.

I decided to give running another try, but this time it was different. Over the past 12 months I had focused on:
✨ Building core strength
✨ Releasing stuck emotions through sound healing, the emotion code & somatic exercises
✨ Nourishing my body with the right nutrition & supplements

And guess what? I’m back to running completely pain-free 🙌🏽 Hard work really does pay off

Sometimes, inspiration comes from unexpected places, and with the right support, our bodies can heal in powerful ways.

Thank you, cousin, for the push I needed. And to everyone who is struggling with pain or thinking you’ll never return to the activities you love, know that healing is possible

My journey into holistic therapy is deeply rooted in my scientific background. I hold a Master’s degree in Biomedical Science specialising in Clinical Chemistry, and my research focused on Type 2 diabetes, exploring the intricate biochemical processes involved in this widespread condition. This research experience has given me a profound understanding of how our bodies function on a molecular level, particularly in relation to chronic health conditions.

Inspired by the desire to help people beyond the conventional medical approaches, I transitioned from the Medical Diagnostic Industry into holistic health practices. My training in BioKinesiology, Reflexology, and Sound Healing allows me to offer a unique blend of scientifically-informed holistic therapies. I am passionate about empowering my clients to achieve optimal health through natural, non-invasive methods.

My Services
BioKinesiology: This practice uses muscle testing to detect and correct imbalances in the body’s energy systems. It is effective for addressing gut issues, hormonal imbalances, food intolerances, and more.

Reflexology: By applying pressure to specific points on the feet, Reflexology helps to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. This therapy can alleviate stress, improve circulation, and help immune function.

Sound Healing: Utilising vibrational sound therapy, I help you achieve a meditative state that supports mental clarity, emotional balance, and overall relaxation. My sound baths offer a transformative experience for all ages.

Why Choose Blueberry Holistics?
Scientific Expertise: My background in clinical chemistry and extensive research on Type 2 diabetes equip me with a deep understanding of the biochemical aspects of health.

Personalised Care: I take the time to understand your specific health concerns and tailor our treatments to meet your individual needs.

Holistic Approach: My therapies aim to address the root causes of health issues, ensuring long-term wellness rather than just symptom relief.

Compassionate Service: I am dedicated to providing compassionate, empathetic care and building lasting relationships with my clients.

🧐 Look at Your Tongue for Signs of Gut Imbalances!🧐

Did you know your tongue can reveal a lot about your gut health? A simple self-check could give you clues about imbalances like Candida overgrowth.

🔍 **What to Look For:**

1. **White Coating**: A thick, white coating might indicate Candida or yeast overgrowth.
2. **Cracks**: Deep cracks or fissures can be a sign of digestive issues or nutritional deficiencies.
3. **Tooth Marks**: Indentations along the sides could suggest poor digestion or malabsorption.

💡 **Why It Matters:**
Your tongue is a window to your digestive health. Identifying these signs early can help you address potential issues before they escalate.

Candidia albicans is a fungus in the digestive tract which aids with nutrient absorption & digestion, but can overgrow & produce unpleasant symptoms. It can move to the mouth, sinuses, va**na & skin. Causes of overgrowth are:

-Poor digestion: fungus feeds on undigested sugars/carbohydrates
-Antibiotic use: destroys bacteria but not fungus, leaving fungus the chance to multiply
-Chemotherapy: kills off healthy bacteria which keeps candida in check
-Weakened immune system: so seen in infants & elderly
-Oral contraceptive pill: can lead to gut imbalances, esp if high sugar diet
-Oral corticosteroids: for asthma can lead to candida in the mouth
-Type 2 Diabetes: due to high sugar
-Swimming in chlorinated pools

Also, when our HCL(stomach acid) is low it allows fungus to grow inside the body.

We check for both Candida/Fungus and stomach enzymes in a BioKinesiology session and assess which treatment is best for the individual.

**Wellness Starts Within**

👊Celebrating Client Success👊

Sharing some milestones from one of my amazing clients. She has shaved off time from her 5K walk, feels more energised and is experiencing a newfound lightness in her body. Her sleep has improved, and the aches she was experiencing in her body have lessened too. We made some small tweaks to her diet, introduced some minerals to support her thyroid function and helped the liver to detox a toxin naturally.

Small wins like these add up to a significant positive changes in your everyday health.

Her dedication and commitment is inspiring. Celebrate your progress and keep going with confidence.

🌟 Client Testimonial Reflection 🌟

Yesterday, I was deeply moved by this client's kind words about their experiences with BioKinesiology, Reflexology, and Sound Healing. Their story made me realise how powerful these sciences are in helping us understand ourselves better.

Knowledge is truly empowering. When you understand what the body needs your mind tells the body why you are doing it, leading to positive changes. Without the information the positive change is not possible (in my opinion).

Knowing yourself allows you to make informed choices. The more we understand the 'why' behind our actions, the more we can live in a more balanced body.

Thank you to all my clients for trusting me. Sharing this knowledge with my clients makes my heart sing.

Thank you

BioKinesiology combines principles from kinesiology, biochemistry and nutrition to assess and address imbalances within the body. We believe in promoting optimal health from the inside out.

BioKinesiology can help you support treat a wide range of symptoms including -
-Digestive Issues: IBS, IBD, constipation, diarrhoea, bloating, cramps, food intolerances
-Pain & Fatigue: Insomnia, fibromyalgia & chronic fatigue, joint pain, lack of energy and motivation
-Headaches: Migraines and sinus issues
-Skin Problems: Psoriasis, eczema, unexplained rashes
-Low Immune System: Recurrent/frequent infections such as candida and viruses
-Mental Health: Low mood, anxiety, depression, emotional trauma and trapped emotions

So, how does BioKinesiology work, and how can it benefit you?

Identifying Imbalances: Through muscle testing and biofeedback techniques, a BioKinesiologist can identify areas of imbalance within the body. These imbalances may manifest as nutritional deficiencies, toxic overload, emotional stress, or energetic blockages. By pinpointing these underlying issues, BioKinesiology can help to identify the root cause of health concerns, rather than just treating the symptoms.

Personalised Protocols: Once imbalances are identified, personalised protocols are developed to address them. This may involve dietary modifications, supplementation with vitamins and minerals, detoxification protocols, energy balancing exercises and stress management techniques.

Empowerment Through Education: One of the key principles of BioKinesiology is empowering individuals to take an active role in their health and wellness journey. Practitioners educate clients about the underlying causes of their health concerns and provide them with tools and strategies to support their healing process.

Each person is unique, and what works for one individual may not work for another. By tailoring treatment plans to address the specific needs of each client, BioKinesiology offers a truly holistic and individualised approach to healthcare.

Digestive issues such as reflux, heartburn, diarrhoea, and constipation can significantly impact daily life, causing discomfort, inconvenience, and even embarrassment. While these symptoms are common, they are not something you have to live with. BioKinesiology offers a holistic approach to treating digestive issues, addressing the root causes to provide long-lasting relief and improve overall well-being.

1. Identifying Triggers
Through muscle testing, practitioners can pinpoint specific foods, stressors, or lifestyle factors that may be contributing to symptoms.

2. Balancing Gut Microbiome
Imbalances in the gut microbiome, such as an overgrowth of harmful bacteria or yeast, can contribute to digestive issues. BioKinesiology focuses on restoring balance to the gut microbiome through dietary changes, supplementation, and other natural therapies.

3. Improving Digestive Function
BioKinesiology techniques focus on enhancing enzyme production, promoting proper stomach acid levels, and improving peristalsis (the movement of food through the digestive tract).Reducing Inflammation: Inflammation in the digestive tract can exacerbate symptoms such as reflux and heartburn. BioKinesiology addresses inflammation through dietary changes, supplementation with anti-inflammatory nutrients, and other natural therapies.

4. Balancing Stress Response
Stress can have a profound impact on digestive health. BioKinesiology techniques can help balance the body's stress response, reducing the physiological effects of stress on the digestive system and promoting relaxation and healing.

5. Promoting Detoxification
Toxins and environmental pollutants can disrupt digestive function and contribute to symptoms such as constipation and diarrhea. BioKinesiology can support the body's natural detoxification pathways, allowing for the elimination of harmful substances and promoting overall health.

BioKinesiology offers a solution that addresses the root causes of symptoms. Whether you're dealing with reflux, heartburn, diarrhoea, constipation, or other digestive issues, BioKinesiology can help you find relief and restore balance to your digestive system.
