It’s a bit scary to launch something like this - what if I don’t make my money back, what if it’s a flop, what if nobody likes it…. But hey I’m gonna try my best and do it anyway.

I’ve got 40 copies available at the clinic (should I sign them?) or you can order it direct from Amazon as ebook or paperback.
Pretty please buy a copy and leave me a review on Amazon so that I can reach a bigger audience!
Interested in wholesaling? Let me know 🥰

I got the proof in the mail today and ooooh boy am I excited!!
Natural Menopause Support - Practical Tools & Natural Strategies for Perimenopause & Menopause

Part two of my book update - how I’m publishing it and what’s left to do

It’s a work in progress, here’s where I’m up to.
I had to split the video in two because I talked too much. A bit like I do in my book perhaps?

Come with me to the Melbourne International flower and garden show!
In March I headed down to gather inspiration for my own garden, and to bring some ideas back for you, in regards to being water wise but also including medicinal herbs in a small garden and making your garden work for your mood, boosting that dopamine.
The biggest takeaway? You don’t need a big garden, or a separate “herb patch” to make this happen. Even a balcony or a single pot counts

Ways to be water wise in your garden:
• mulch generously to hold moisture in soil
• water deeply and less often, rather than a little every day.
• Choose plants suited to your climate and create microclimates within your garden
• Shape your garden so water flows to where it’s actually needed.
• Try wicking beds which water plants from below

Medicinal and culinary herbs worth weaving in:
• lemon balm for calm and digestion support
• Calendula for lymphatic support, skin health and vulnerary use
• Echinacea is typically used for immune health but you use the root, so it’s good mostly to look at unless you want to dig it all up
• globe artichoke for liver and gallbladder support, plus it’s stunning to look at in bloom
• turmeric and ginger for inflammation and digestion
• borage - generally calming and a the pollinators will thank you

And a bonus to gardening: getting your hands in healthy soil exposes you to microbes that can stimulate serotonin levels, improving your mood.

I came home with a lot of inspiration and ideas, I’ve already included some of these plants into my garden and my next project is underway, building some wicking beds which I will share with you soon.
