Having worked with countless clients over the years, I have strived to learn new skills to help them achieve health and happiness.

Along my journey, I realised that some clients needed a little extra help.

Some were reluctant to take medication, or medication produced more side effects than issues it resolved.

Some wanted a more holistic approach.

Some were too young to be able to articulate how they were feeling.

This prompted me to learn Bach Flower Essences and combine the use of these supporting essences with the Luscher colour test.

The result is a reliable and scarily accurate way of discovering what a client needs support with.

Bach flower essences are grouped into 7 different categories:

And with the right guidance, can be blended with up to 5 different essences to make a unique remedy just for you.

I regularly use Bach flower essences to promote a sense of well-being myself. The effects are subtle, with almost an empathy for the mind and body, guidance rather than abrupt direction.

Foraging and Seasonal Living

In 2024, I embarked on completing a Diploma in Foraging and participated in numerous educational guided foraging workshops to enhance my learning.

In addition to a Naturopathy Diploma and a Nutrition Diploma, I now integrate my learnings to create a holistic ‘whole-person-centred approach.’

There is a call to humankind to reconnect with nature and align our energies with the rhythm of the seasons - or to be more precise, the weather.

Since 2025, The Mind Body Gut Training Company has been delivering seasonal programmes, designed to gently reconnect you with the seasons, yourself and your vitality.

In 2026, we will be focusing on the wheel of the year and nature’s celebration of life.

Our seasonal programmes are designed to align inner wellbeing with the rhythms of nature. Drawing on Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, and the Wheel of the Year, each programme offers a holistic approach to health that honours the changing qualities of the seasons and the ways they affect body, mind, and spirit.

From the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine, each season is connected to specific elements, organs, and emotions. Our programmes explore these correspondences, offering practices to restore harmony, for example, supporting the liver in Spring, protecting the heart in Summer, grounding digestion in late-Summer, strengthening the lungs in Autumn, and nourishing the kidneys in Winter.

Ayurveda teaches us to balance the doshas, Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, in response to the shifting seasons. Through diet, herbs, lifestyle practices, and breathwork, we provide tools to maintain balance, whether that means cooling excess heat in Summer, calming Vata’s movement in Autumn and Winter, or lightening Kapha’s heaviness in Spring.

The Wheel of the Year brings a spiritual and cyclical layer to our seasonal work. Each sabbath from Samhain and Yule to Beltane and Lammas carries lessons of growth, release, balance, and renewal. We weave these themes into our programmes, creating opportunities to reflect, set intentions, and connect more deeply to natural cycles.

Together, these three traditions form the foundation of our seasonal programmes, offering a rich blend of science, tradition, and soulful practice. They invite you not only to care for your health but also to live more rhythmically, in tune with both the outer seasons of nature and the inner seasons of your own life.
