Natural healing – Embody Family Wellness

Well it’ been over a year since my last blog!! 😱 I thought I would have restarted a month or two after Oleena was born but with building a house, doing the bookwork for my husbands electrical business, training in Educational Kinesiology and raising two small kids, it just didn’t happen.

The blog started as a way for me to share what I have learnt about the digestive health. It actually made me accountable in those final few (and most important) weeks of my pregnancy with Oleena. I continued with a dairy, sugar and gluten free diet for the first few months of Oleenas life with me breastfeeding and this all seemed to have paid off. I introduced new foods into my diet while breastfeeding and Oleena had no adverse reactions. Then when introducing foods to her, I chose to hold off on gluten and dairy until after 6 months when I believe her stomach was strong enough, and sure enough she didn’t have any reactions- only some minor changes in her diaper which is totally normal when they are processing new foods. It could have been the diet, delaying introduction or different genetic make-up (or it could be all the factors combined) that has resulted in Oleena having significantly better food tolerance than Finlay.

As mentioned something else I have been up to over the last year is training in Educational Kinesiology ‘Brain Gym®’. Researching into natural healing, being a teacher and graduate of Sport Science, Brain Gym® has been a very natural progression and combines all my passions together. Now that I am a qualified Brain Gym® Consultant I am turning my passion into a business and can work one on one or small group sessions helping both children and adults heal their body, mind and spirit and assist them to achieve their goals. Head over to the ‘Brain Gym’ page for more information.

I will continue to discuss and share information on nutrition and digestive health but will also be including information on Brain Gym®, brain and body functioning… Encompassing whole body well-being!

A few months ago one of my lovely friend introduced me to the world of DoTerra Essential Oils. The oils were the product I had been searching for since having Finlay. Whenever he was unwell with a snuffly nose, teething or had a temperature, my husbands first response was always “Do you want me to go to the chemist and get some…” Which was my husband only wanting to do what he thought was the best for Finlay. However, I would wait until absolutely necessary to give him the medicine because I just didn’t feel it was the ‘right’ thing to do (my version of wanting to do the best for Finlay too).

Now I have this amazing resource of oils that not only help with fixing ailments but work as a preventative measure as well, which has been very empowering. My main priority has been for healing & wellness for Finlay. For example, there is an oil blend called Digestzen which has been extremely beneficial for improving his digestive system. The oils can replace beauty products, medicines and chemicals for cleaning in your home. Overall this is going to help everyone’s health and well being with less toxins getting in our bodies!

DoTerra oils are ‘pure, potent and effective’. The quality of DoTerra oils means they can be used aromatically and topically but they can also be used internally. Every morning I start the day with a large glass of water with a drop of lemon oil 😋 I’ve made my own tooth paste which Finlay can also use without me worrying about the chemicals 😁 The uses for the oils are endless. Ensure you are using the right amount of oil and use a carrier oil where necessary (dilutes the oil and also helps absorption) this is especially important when using the oils with your children or if you are pregnant.

Feel free to share your experience with essential oils …
