This is why I am currently studying Emotions and Metaphysical Kinesiology and incorporating this in with my Body Balance Treatments so that Naturopathy and these beautiful modality's can come together, forming a powerful synergy to help you unblock, unlock your stored emotions and restore balance. -
Welcoming Maga - The Autumn Stage of a Woman's Life
I often reflect on the beauty and significance of the various life phases we go through as women. One such phase, rich in wisdom and transformation, is known as "Maga."

What are FODMAPs and can following a low FODMAP diet help reduce IBS and/or SIBO symptoms?
A popular diet that I prescribed in clinic for my IBS clients is the low FODMAP diet. FODMAP stands for fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols, which are short-chain carbohydrates (sugars) that the small intestine absorbs poorly.
This diet has been designed to help people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and/or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) figure out which foods are problematic and which foods reduce symptoms. Low FODMAP foods also help relieve symptoms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).
I’m curious to know ‘Have you tried the Low FODMAP Diet to help relieve your digestive issues?’
