Healthy Living Guide - Wellness Articles
In 1994 I was struck down with a sudden and severe case of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. This was when it was being called the yuppie flu and the medical community knew very little of the cause or how to treat it. After getting progressively sicker for almost 4 years and developing chemical sensitivities, digestive system problems and mental health issues, I was lucky enough to find a GP who was working with the research team at Newcastle University and I was eventually diagnosed with Rickettsia, a rare bacterial infection. By this stage it had ravaged my body and I have spent the last 25 years working closely with a naturopath, doctors and other natural therapists to find the happy place where my body and mind will allow me to lead a relatively normal life as long as I am careful with my surroundings and what I do with the energy I am granted each day.
Researching products that reduce the chemical load on your body and a handful of hard to find supplements and health products is at the very core of what this store is all about, even though it’s a small part of the product range. We don’t jump on fads here, they may make a quick buck, but I like to sleep at night. I am always happy to talk to customers who have chemical sensitivities and help them choose or avoid the right products. While I have a wealth of knowledge and I am a Health Coach, I don’t hand out health advice. I am always happy to share experiences and direct you to the correct trained professional for your own healing journey.
