The Inside Job Do you ever look in the mirror and make a point of finding something positive about yourself – instead of only seeing the bits you don’t like and want to change? So many people wait for the right moment or circumstance before they allow themselves to be happy: “When I’m thin, I’ll be happy. After I’m married, I’ll be happy. When I’m driving that car, working in that job, feel like I deserve it… then I’ll be happy.” How would you like to: > look in the mirror and love your reflection? > feel positive about yourself and your life?

From Medication to Freedom! How my Achieving Your Wellness coaching program has helped my client move from medication to freedom. I have an intelligent, insightful and attractive young client who came to meet and work with me late last year in 2013. At only 18 she had spent years on anti-depressants suffering low moods, unhappiness, isolation and body image concerns that bordered on disordered eating. Her dreams of travel, true happiness, connection and vibrant health were being hindered by limiting beliefs and unhealthy habits and behaviours. She came to me with a desperate need to combat the life she had created for herself and turn

MERRY CHRISTMAS + happy eating tips! It’s that time of year again – when many of us freak out at the abundant supply of festive food that is often on our “forbidden/bad/diet says no” lists. http://susieandmedays.com/html/ Personally I don’t struggle with festive food like I used to in the throws of my Eating Disorder days. I simply know what I’m eating by preparing many foods myself with whole, natural and nutrient dense freshness. If I can’t really tell what’s in the food on the serving plates I don’t eat it. I always make sure that I continue to get up and

Healthy Sexy Slow Eating

Pleasure Eating By Marc David, Institute for the Psychology of Eating In a study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism in 2009, eating a meal quickly rather than at a slow pace, diminishes the release of hormones in the gut that help create the feeling of being full. When these hormones – specifically PYY and GLP-1 are low, the unwanted result is simply this: overeating. The implication here is that the body needs time to regulate the chemical messengers that control our food intake. According to another study, published in the British Medical Journal in October 2008

Love and Acceptance: reconnecting to self

Reconnect With The Simple Things Last week I was on a working holiday at the Sunshine Coast recording my “Healing Your Digestive Issues” video interview for MindBodyFood TV. Although it rained for the majority of the time, we still found a small window of sunshine to walk in whilst wetting our feet down at the beach. It was fortunate that the last night we were there, we could take the opportunity to walk along the beach, breathe in the salt air, cleans our nostrils and lungs with the freshness of nature and scrunch our toes in the sand as we

I’m excited!! separate monthly Recently I spent a long weekend up in Maleny (near gorgeous Montville and Mapleton on the Sunshine Coast) at a practitioners retreat: learning, sharing, brainstorming and dancing….. yes that’s right, DANCING!! It wasn’t your normal kind of dancing – it was so much more than that. Initially I thought, hmm, I’m not so sure I want to do this in front of a bunch of people I don’t know! BUT… once we began I found myself quickly forgetting about the other people struggling to find their own personal rhythm; some swaying timidly, others clearly uncomfortable and

Easy Ways to Feel Beautiful In Your Own Skin It’s more important to recognise and embrace your own beauty, than to compare and feel like you fall short. So today I thought I’d have a spontaneous stab at writing down what makes me feel beautiful… This is really making me think for a moment so I’ll take a few breaths, tune in and start slowly: I feel beautiful when I smile I feel beautiful after a few slow, deep breaths. I feel beautiful when I meditate using personal, powerful and present tense affirmations. I feel beautiful when I eat lots

When you look in the mirror, are you seeing yourself as you ARE or how you FEAR? To be a confident, self-assured and secure woman in today’s society, we’re challenged to escape the media bombardment we face at every turn: glossy magazine pages of digitally beautified models, reality TV shows with people looking anything but real, print media and radio marketing convincing you of the latest fad diet that you really need to try… Even on a good day one phrase, one word, one look can be all it takes to dent the hard won self-confidence of the woman in

Are you thinking, breathing and fearing food 24/7…? What we think and how we feel often dictates what we eat, if we should eat and when we should eat. This may lead us to console our emotions with food we don’t really want or need but that temporarily might make us feel better. Without a healthy self-image or balanced lifestyle, this may be enough to permanently chip away at your self-confidence and further influence your emotions. In the long term, it may be enough to spark a greater issue with food and body-image, leading to disordered eating. Do you reach
