    My Diagnosis and my Healing Protocols

    Thank you to those who’ve stuck around while I’ve been on a few months hiatus. I think the last time I posted a recipe was before our trip to South Africa at the end of last year. Needless to say I’ve been out of the swing of things with regards to this little online space. But I have returned and wanted to share my recent diagnosis with you, so grab a cup of tea and let’s get into it.  In my mind, when scary health events happen in our lives, we often look to others for help, comfort or suggestions.

    7 Day Distance Healing (Reiki)

    Just before I left South Africa, my Mom started her Reiki course with Colleen at Midlands House of Healing. She was so incredibly excited and so passionate about what she was learning, and has now achieved her Reiki 2. I am so incredibly proud of her, as well as inspired! It’s such bliss seeing someone follow their passion and healing path in life! I always knew my mom would be a healer, ever since I was young and watched her easily go through 30 day detoxes, sprinkle a million nuts and seeds all over her salads and make weird tea out of alien looking fleshy creatures (kombucha scoby). I always knew…
